Equal in ill Respects to the Famous Yaca Valley, Which It Adjoins. UNPRECEDENTED TERMS. 3>INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^vI Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco, and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which ■ enable the purchaser to pay for the land out of its own product, viz: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent. ; The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro- : portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruit ' bees or vines. Land may be bought without this ; condition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re maining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with in terest annually in advance, at 7 per cent. The various : tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have 1 been subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Simi- i lar unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at $400 to $500 per acre. ; These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable : fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be one of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of 1890 from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before : the Fresno County grapes were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel lent shipping facilities; and land may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recent sales made by the company was that of the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all of which will be planted to fruit trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex -1 pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad vantage to the fruit-grower of being in early locality. In most cases it makes the difference between success and failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained by the first fruit shipments of the season, and that 20 acres of this rich land, when the trees are in bearing, will yield a handsome and assured income. The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the various tracts to land seekers. Four tovvnsites have been laid out in different points in the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason able prices and on easy terms. The enterprising and flourishing town of Esparto is situated at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000 worth of substantial buildinc; 1- have already been erected, including *a fine four-story brick hotel, two large brick blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets, besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences. The town has a postoffice. school-house and a weekly paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph and express offices. Postoffices have also been established at Guinda and Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of the valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The com fortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters as well as land-seekers. The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val ley may be thus concisely summed up: A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of every crop. A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State. A climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins and drying of frnit, without the aid of artificial evaporators. A location that is centra! and close to markets. Railroad communication which enables shipments to be made quickly and cheaply. Lands which arc sold cheaper and on better terms than anywhere else in the State. I'ctißccllnncotta.

The terms upon wnlcb Lh< lelandsareofibnt areesj cially attractive. Thej wUI be sold In subdivisions, asabOTe indicated, by the pay mint of Interest unly tor tbre« yean, at which time the purchaser can begin il^' payment of principal by paying the lint 01 live equal an nual installments.

Intending purchasers are aa mivii that this is tin opportunity to purchase land of fair average quality at gio per acre, and good agricultural land at $2U ao ..crj, wi:h o*bi t gradea 1 1 land at prices to corre spond between these figures. The assertion is frequently made that Rood lands, suitable for general farming, and es pecially adapted lor fruit-growing, cannot be had in California for lea !h-,ii trom p6O to JIOO an acre. An examination of the laud subject of tliis advertisement will prove to bome-seekert that this ia an opportunity for the purchase of j;ood agjlcultural land at $20 an acre, ;.nd for qualities grading down 1.. :air agricultural landat $10 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposition of these lands to actual settlers a resultea*y 0/ accomplishment. The primary object of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a large holding tor the purpose of promoting its set tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion to diligent husbandry.
