30 Cents a Gallon.
Internal Revenue Collector Waverly
from Joseph Miller, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue at Washington, relative
to the bill now pending in Congress and
which, if passed, will increase the tax on
spirits from 80 cents to 81 10 per gallon:
w. Sdirley, Collector Fourth District,
Sacramento, Cdf.-SIR: Instruct persons
inquiring concerning effect of expected
legislation as to tax on spirits, that no
packages can be withdrawn from ware
house until all requirements of law and
regulation. including marking, branding
and stamping, are fulfilled, and spirits
remaining in warehouse after new rate
takes effect will do so subject to any lia-
bility which the new law may impose on
such spirits. Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH S. MILLER, Commissioner.
w. iStdirtey: Different constructions
having been given to Office letter of 1lth
instant you may inform inquiring tax
payers that office refusal to construe
pending bill does not indicate an opinion
that additional liability will be incurred
under it by spirits which have paid pres
ent rate of tax but are not removed from
warehouse when Act takes effect.
You will accept payment of tax at
present rate prior to day of passage of
Act upon original gauge, or reported re-
gauge of all spirits for which proper en-
try for withdrawal has been made. Re-
spectfully yours,
JOSEPH S. MILLER, Commissioner.

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand &cres 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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, $50 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 no 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 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 $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices TO corre-
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 will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
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 easyo 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.

dress VIM. II. MILLS,

testimony of the previous witnesses as to
Hatch coming with Vickers to the farm
for steam launch. "Saw bowie knife
in belt around Hatch's body, and SIX,
eight or ten sticks of giant powder In his

Upon cross-examination he testlhed
that Armstrong had promised to pay his

came to the place in cart and asked Tor

other man was about q years old.
Manual Silva swore that he lived at
Lodi. Cal. and worked on the railroad as
section man. On July Ith fourteen or
fifteen railroad men, strikers, came TO
Lodi and tried to get the section hands
TO join the American Railway Union.
~ am striker myself" volunteered the
witness. "fhey told us that we could get
50 a day by striking. l said that beats
81 70, and we all got up and left. don't
see anyone in the courtroom who came
to Lodi at the time"
Witness went into long story to the
effect that on the following day Sunday
he met Worden, Tom Kelly and Pat
Doyle in Lodi. near the Taylor House.
Pat Doyle, the section boss, said, You
take a handcar aud take these boys to
Stockton"
When asked if all the strikers on the
occasion were armed, the witness said
"Y es." He had a big pistol himself. He
said he had walked back 10 Lodi on the
road, for fear he might be accused oftam-
pering with the track. Witness said
Worden told ali the strikers at Stockton
to be careful not to injure railroad prop
erty in any way, as the strikers did not
want to be- blamed for doing any work of
that kind.
The court adjourned here until 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The cross-eXalniuation of Silva will
likely be the first order Of business.

Investigation In Progress of the AM
munition at Fort sheridan.
CHICAGO. July 24.-The investigation
of the army stock of shells and shrapnel
in use at Fort Sheridan is now in pro
gress. When full evidence as to the con-
dition of the small shells now in use is
collected, it is claimed the abandonment
of certain devices of explosives will be
the result. The discoveries have gone so
far as to thoroughly satisfy the army and
Government officials that the caisson eX-
plosion on the Grand boulevard was the
effect of defective ordnance. 1t was said
that several shells were found with the
powder which explodes the Illuminating
cap on slight concussion barely hairs s
breadth removed from the delicate cop
per disk. In some of the shells this ar
rangement was so disordered that a
slight jar at any moment might be suffi-
cient to discharge the load. 1t is not
claimed that the ammunition was de-
fective in make. The evidence only
shows, it is said, that long and rough
usage may render shells of certain con-
struction positively dangerous. Per-
haps the report will be made in full to-
day. The examination is being con-

A Rancher Derails One at Sixth and

Yesterday morning about o'clock a
rancher participated in collision which
might, although he is not suspected of
belonging to the strikers, bring him into
court on charge of derailing a train.
AS an electric car was coming down K
street it ran into the hind end of load of
hay which was crossing the street at
Sixth. The farmer who was driving did
not realize that he had hitched fast to an
other vehicle, and proceeded serenely on
his way toward the Armory, towing the
car along with him.
The shouts of the spectators, however,
soon made him aware that he was rend-
ering himself liable to charge of grand
larceny on trying to steal railroad, and
he disentangled his wagon and drove Off
with his load uninjured.
