ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for S1O
to 500 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
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, 12O, 16o and 800 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 no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z 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 $40 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-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
IN 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 large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Increasing Demand for the Serial-The
First Twelve Ready.
A few weeks ago the RECoRD-UNIoN
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become a matter
of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, aud written by the foremost his
torianscof late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD UNION might have sold these
parts at a figure considerably in advance
OF eight cents and thereby reaped a rich
profit on the sales, but it entered into
the matter solely for the benefit of its
subscribers, and is offering each part at
exact cost-eight cents
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at
the office.

SIREN OF THE SOUND.
Maiden to Whom Distance Lends
Enchantment.

A Maiden to Whom Distance Lends
Enchantment.
Smith, who has just returned from a
fortnightS visit with an acquaintance
down on Long Island, n. Y. tells me an
amusing story concerning the way trave.
ersEon the Sound are made the victims of
practical joke, says Boston Herald
writer.
Everybody who has been aboard a yes
sci knows how prone people are to wave
their handkerchiets to those on shore or
on another boat, and how ready they are
to answer a similar friendly signal. 1t is
merely token of good will or mild
sort of Irritation, induced by the pleasure
of floating along care-tree over the spark
ling water.
Every evening when the great Sound
steamers of The Fall River and other lines
pass up East River, fiuttering bits of cam
brio are seen here and there on the eX-
tensive and well-tilled decks, responsive
to others on land or water, or themselves
bidding for reply. The occupants of
fisherman's boat or solitary spectator
by the water side are not too Insignificant
TO be noticed.
MY friend" said Smith, 'lives on the
inner shore of Long Island, and season
after season, evening after evening, he has
witnessed these boatlOadS OF susceptible
voyagers go by, ever and anon waving
their dainty squares OF white. He recog-
nized and replied to their greetings until
he became weary. Finally an idea came
to him of way in which he could avoid
this duty of courtesy. He had a jaunty
female figure rugged up and placed on the
platform on the outer side of the boat
house. One of the young womanfs arms
was uplifted and at the end was fastened
handkerchief.
''Then, by an ingenious contrivance,
the movement Of the water below was
made to move the arm up and down.
Now the tickle maiden mechanically, but
effectively, makes her gestures daily, and
my friend tips his chair back against the
boathouse and enjoys a quiet smoke
while he views the antics of the deluded
travellers, who frantically endeavor to an
swer each successive shake of the siren of
the sound !"
