ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 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 SO TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 120. 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 i've 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-
peciaIly 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 SIT 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.

The Finance Committee of the Board

and looked over the Assessors books to
get an idea of their work, but it will
probably be a couple of weeks before

AS Will be seen, the tax roll foots up
S930. S25 less than it did last year, after the
Trustees had raised 1t S300, 900.
Mayor Stelnman states that the lower
ing of the tax roll, if figured on the basis
of last years rate of - 70, amounts to q
deficiency in the city's revenue OF 81, 900
for the year. The tax rate will probably
he the same, as under the charter two tax
levies must be made, which will proba-
bly be for 81 10 each, and as the super
visors now levy the school tax and the
county collects It, amounting TO IL cents,
II will be seen that the tax rate this year
viii nrobabIy be that much larger than
that of last year.
The personal tax roll, the Mayor
thinks. ought to be more than 1876, $50,
bnt is claimed that the city roll is lower
because merchants are carrying smaller
stocks OF goods than heretofore.

acquaintance from Louisa.

Texas siftings.
A city girl writes, "It is fond
dream of mine to become O farmers
wife and meander with him down
life's howery pathway" Alb, yes
that is nice thing to dream about
but when you have lived on the
farm and followed this meandering
business for a month or so, you
will discover a wide chasm be-
tween the dream and the reality.
You will think of this about the
time your husband meanders out
and leaves you without wood, and
you have to meander up and down
the lane pulling splinters off the
fence with which to cook dinner.
And when you meander around in
the wet clover in search of the
COWS you will have a dim percep-
ton that fond dreams do not
always pan out 100 cents on the
dollar, and that there are several
meanderings in farm life that are
not listed in the dreaming
category. The meandering busi
ness on the farm is not what it'l
cracked up to be.
