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

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres 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 SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 160 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 Tor 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 annun,
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 fruitgrowing, 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 ia smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

The Jury In the Ellis Case Stood to Ina
Favor of Acquittal.
MASON, June 26.--The trial of At
torney General Ellis for forgery came
to an end Monday afternoon, the jury
being unable to reach verdict after
being out. Al hours. Just before 2
o'clock Judge Person convened court
and sent for the jury. In response to
question from the clerk, Foreman
Ling said that it had been impossible
to agree on verdict.
The court asked if anything could be
gained by taking further time, and
Foreman Ling said there would in his
opinion be nothing gained by remain
ing out longer, as every ballot had been
just the same and, in his opinion. it
would continue the same. The judge
then asked for the opinion of the coun-
sci. Both the prosecution and defense
thought that under the circumstances
it would not be of the slightest advant-
age to keep the jury out any longer.
The judge then turned to the jury
and said that inasmuch as the unani-
nous opinion of IL men was necessary,
