ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
] land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first.
j class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
/ land of fair average quality, and is offered at
/ from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
i 40, so, 12O, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
! subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
/ ment OF interest only for three years, st which
| time the purchaser can begin the payment of
! principal by paying the first OF I've equal an
nual instaliments. Thus no part Of the prin-
| cipal is to be paid tor three years and then
! the purchaser is TO have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality ut SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecialIy adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S1o0 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body Of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

What is the Reason :?

Simply that Mrs. Briggs has
more than she can attend to
and is obliged to sacrifice this
place. Where is it? 1t is To-
Gated in Sacramento County,
on the American River, and
consists Of 191 acres, Ii miles
from the Sacramento and Fol-
som Railroad and 10 miles
from Sacramento. 1t consists
Of $50 acres all in full-bearinq
muscat grapes; has q residence
Of 7 rooms, good dryer for dry
ing grapes, and water right,
which irrigates the whole
place.
This place was selected by G..
G.. Briggs, who was consid-
cred one Of the best horticul-
turists in the State at his time.
He selected the best varieties Of
raisin grapes and superin-
tended planting them. The
place has cost over $4,000,
and it cannot be duplicated in
this State. 1t must be sold
within 80 days. There is only
Sic, 900 required to be paid in
cash, balance can stand and be
paid out Of the proceeds from
the ranch.
There were over eight car
loads Of raisins Of over "a, 900
pounds each shipped from this
place this year, besides the
large number that were sold
for the market. 1t is no eXaq-
geratiOn to state that an indus
trious, frugal man can 90 upon
the place and pay for it out OF
the net proceeds in three years.
Investigation will prove our
assertion to be correct. The
soil is as well adapted for rails
ms as any in this State.

The oueen,s Annual Bath.

Once year the Queen Of Madagascar
bathes in public in the presence Of as
many OF her subjects as can crowd into
the palace courtyard. In former years
she was wont to descend the marble
steps innocent of raiment. but since the
advent of whites she wears a loose robe
and disappears behind a screen. Here
the ablutions are performed amid much
splashing. The screen was introduced to
satisfy the missionaries. When the
Queen emerges from behind the screen
her complexion is at least three shades
lighter than before. Then all the loyal
subjects shout. and taking it for granted
that the Queen has bathed they disperse
to their homes and do likewise. After
the annual bath they all feel uncomiorta-
feel and look natural again, and all goes
well.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
