The CrucIfix Found in the Folds of the

The Christian character of Sicilian So

TO which the poor have SO long been
taught TO look, is now enjoined TO the en-
blem of union and brotherhood to obtain
justice upon earth. The new faith is
only development of very old faith,
preached long ago among peasants and
fishermen, who were suffering under
Italian taX-GathererS and We're Victims OF
the cruel and corrupt social system OF
ancient Rome. The higher clergy have
maintained an attitude OF neutrality dur
ing the recent troubles. The parish
priests cannot help Sympathizlng with
The people to whom they belong and of
whose sutferings they are daily wit
nesses. The priest is almost the only
person with whom the peasant comes IN
contact who treats him as human being
and SHOWS interest in him, consequently
the influence of the clergy is still great III
Sicily. But many of the people have lost
their ancient faith and resignation and
have become desperate under the press
ure Of suffering.
4 visit was lately paid to several towns
in the disturbed districts by two depu-
ties, Signor Emilio tarina of tlorence
and Siguor Conandini. The latter wrote
an account Of their visit to the C0191ere
delta jSeId. In some of the towns the
people hid themselves, taking them for
Iax-gatherers or Government officials OF
some kind whose visit boded no good.
ON arriving at the socialist town of Piana
del Greci, they found the people fearless
and confident. There was no need TO
make inquiries to see that they were
literally starving. sin the midst of that
crowd,O says Signor Comandini, 'of
poor peasants, dressed in rags, yet clean,
haggard and trembling with hunger and
with anger, | felt a deeper impression OF

They asked some questions Of one or the
crowd, in answer TO which he said that
he had wife and four children. They
lived in one room, sleeping on straw
with their mule. His work lay far from
the town and his wages amounted TO 26O
francs or 20 francs for the year, out of
which he paid III francs for focatico or
family tax, and 81 francs tax on his mule
to the municipality. When he had work,
he and his little ones ate bread; when out
of work they ate weeds and any wild
herbs which they could pick. why
had he Joined the Fascio?' they asked.

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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions Oh
40, so, 40, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
nre 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 ut the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd 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 corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
ands. suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S1Oo an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisements 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
paynent which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Oh
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. H. MILLS,

City Trustee Bragg is in a quandary,
but he thinks he sees his way out OF It..
1t appears that it was he who ordered the
gas company to put in the city Offices the
meters that furnished the gas for which
the city has refused to pay.
Judge Catlin decided that the city had
no ground for refusing to pay its gas
bills, but it is proposed to appeal from
his decision.
In the meantime who is going to pay
the gas company for the illumination OF
the city offices? Mr.. Bragg said yester-
day that as he ordered the meters put IN,
the company might come Oh him for the
money. He had about arrived at the
conclusion TO notify the company to re-
move its meters, and let the Board OF
Trustees make some new arrangement
Tor lighting the offices.
IL looks very much as if the city will
soon be down to coal oil basis.
