ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Landfor $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres os
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 az
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 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 hy 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 per cent. per annuIn,
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 $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 fruit-growing. cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 TO
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-see1ers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
nn 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 diligent husbandry.

FishWaYs Needed.

Those who like good fishing are not
exactly satisfied with the way the law
is being enforced along the Smoky Hill
regarding fishways. The law provides
that at every dam "A iishway for the
passage Of fish shall be built. At
Hoirman's dam in Enterprise there
is no such provision and the result is
that the fish with which the
stream is well stocked east of here
can not come up the river and from
Enterprise west there is little except
buffalo and catfish to be found. East
of here there are pike and other
desirable varieties. The law is very
strict and the State fish commission.

the county officers should take hand
in urging him to do so.
