MORE SPRINGHlLL COAL.
1T Comes to the Portland Company This
Timc-The Tariff Is Now Reduced One

Peculiar sounds were audible late in
the afternoon in the harbor yesterday.
They began like a wild Indians whoop
and died away like the crazy looms yell.
1t was the siren whistle of the huge ocean
tug Spring H." that was steaming up
the harhor, and passing two of our little
tugs as if they were standing still. She
had just towed loaded barge from the
Springhili mine in Nova Scotia. II con-
tanned $50 tons of sculm coal for the
Portland Company. This is the first of
that coal to arrive since the new tariff,
which is Is cents ton; the old tariff
was 80. This coal has begun to come
here recently to the Eastern Forge Com
pany and the Winslow pottery, but this
is the first to come to the Portland Com
pany. The decrease in the tariff will
undoubtedly bring--a large quantity OF
this Nova Scotia coal to Portland.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Old jed Prouty.

Richard Golden will be seen at the
Portland Theatre tonight and tomorrow
night in his popular impersonation OF
Old Jed Prouty. Mr.. Golden's sketch
has the great advantage of having been
drawn from life. When a lad he was
brought up right at the heels of the old
tavern keeper. Day in and day out did
the embyro actor, boy like, study the
gait, mannerisms and utterances of the
old Boniface. The other characters are
also drawn from life, and some OF the
originals it is said may be found in
Bucksport today Squire Todd, lack
Wilcox. Zeb Hardy. Lige Prouty, Pinkey
Pike, Tribulation Prouty, Marthy Gid

AFTERNOON SESSION.
LARGE LAND HOLDING.
There is no Money in 1t Even for the
Owner.
From the Marysyine Democrat.l

from Lne OSIuOCTdL.
In the Superior Court of Butte County.
on Wednesday, a foreclosure was ordered
in the case Of Phelan VS.. Reavis, and it is
one OF the largest ever recorded in the
State. d. NJ. Reavis was the owner of
5000 acres of very fine land near Chico
and was supposed to be a very wealthy
man because of his immense estate.
TO possess this amount of land Mr..
Reavis was obliged to mortgage the estate
and pay large interest on $1,000 one
mortgage being held by the late James
Phelan for $500, 900 and one by G. w. Clark
for 500, 600. The time for which the
money was loaned expired some time
ago and Reavis could not raise the money,
although the 5000 acres of land and i'm
provements thereon are worth double
that sum. The result is as stated above,
and the land will be sold to satisfy the
mortgages. and that is probably all it will
bring, as the interest and costs in the
Phelan mortgage now amount to $3.50, ,000,
and in the one held by Clark $4,000.
This virtually leaves Mr.. Reavis in as
bad shape financially as he was twenty
five years ago, yet he has devoted years
of time and lots of energy to cause the
land to produce sufficient to pay the eX
penses and interest ou this large loan.
Had he sold 1000 acres of the land ten
years ago, when it would have brought
have been out of debt and had neat farm
OF ZOO aQres; at the same time a number
of families would have been added to the
population of Butte, and the State been
largely benefited. In the same vicinity
is the Bidwell tract of about q, 900 acres,
and adjoining this is the Wilson tract OF
$500 acres.
These are two of the finest tracts of land
to be found in California, and in ali en-
brace territory sufficient for two hundred
farms and as many families, where to-day
the population is not sufficient of itself to
maintain respectable school. All of
these large tracts are heavily mortgaged,
and the owners have paid in interest a
sufficient sum to buy fair-sized farm
for each. II is said that the mortgage on
the Wilson tract will have to be paid be-
fore the expiration of another year, and
that if General Bidwell was forced to. the
wall to-day the same as Mr.. Reavis was,
that it would be almost impossible to
raise the amount due.
These cases show the folly of endeavor-
ing to own thousands of acres and doing
it on borrowed money, when the title, in
fact, to the great farm is in the money
lender. who will always look out for
number one. There are many more IN
the same fix that can be named and who
are stumbling blocks in the road of the
car Of progress, and they must be got out
of the rut before California can become a
great and wealthy State.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand 2cres of
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 16O and $40 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, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five 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 at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will 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 $40 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 large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.

dress VIM. III. MILLS,

They VIII Meet at Newcastle again
Next Saturday.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
the fruitgrowers' meeting of last Satur-
day at Newcastle was adjourned for one
week, to meet at Newcastle on Saturday,
January 9th, at 1:30 p. NJ, when full at
tendance of all fruitgrowers in the
county is requested. as the report of the
special committee of J. Parker Whitney,
Senator Hall. Captain Mccain, Mr.. De
Gomez and Fred c. Miles, appointed
upon organization, will be presented.
It is understood that the committee
will strongly advise the formation OF the
Placer County Fruit Exchange, and pre-
sent a form of subscription and organlza-
ton, with bylaws, for consideration.
The notable success CT two county
fruitgrowers' associations is in view,
those of Santa Clara and Sutter Counties,
which last year had marked profitable
results, and there is no reason why Placer
County, so conspicuous by the magni-
tude and superior character Of its varied
foothill products, should not attain still
higher standard for its fruits.
The object OF organization is to give the
management of disposal OF fruits 10 a
Board of Directors, who shall combine
the best available experience and busi-
ness abilities, which shall regulate also
the methods OF packing, inspection and
branding, so that uniform and reliable
distinctness shall be obtained.
1t is expected also that great advanta-
ges will accrue from the organization. in
its ability with an intelligent super
vision, to prevent an excessive ac-
cumulation and offering Of Placer County
fruits in particular centers, and in eX-
tending the area of consumption OF fruits
in districts which have not been well
canvassed aud where Placer County
fruits are hardly known.
The organization is designed to be
purely cooperative for the benefit of the
fruit-growers and deserves their attention
and support to make it success. 1t
must be we'll supported, and to have it
we'll supported it is essential that the
organization shall be founded upon just
and tar-reaching plans.
Agitation and consideration are
necessary to bring this about, while
doubtings and neglect will prevent that
manly and intelligent support which is
essential to success. and it is hoped that
there will be no back wardness in attend
ance upon the part of the Placer County
Fruit-growers at the Newcastle meeting
next Saturday, January 9th.
