The great difficulty is in doing a candidate for thelong term on whom all-ean unite.

Annexation to Placer County. “Another strong’: effort is being made by the citizens of. Meadow Lake township to have the same annexed toPlacer. We understand that~a numberof leading citizens of Placer, including a portion’ of the members of the latter in the Legislature, have been soand¢d upon the subject, and are favorably inclivedto’the apnex-. ation scheme, says the Truckee Republican. A petition tothe Legislature, praying for annexation, ‘has been drawn up and circulated during the past two days in Trutkee and Boca. ‘It has been extensively signed, and would seem to ezpress the sentimest of the tax paying population. The petition is as follows: ‘The citizens of Meadow Lake township, in the eounty of Nevada, respectfully represent that we, as residents of this isolated section of territory; owing tothe great cost of going to and returaing from our present county seat, ‘and owing tothe fact that we have “dire¢t railroad sytmeupicafion with the connty seat { Placer county, thereby saving fime and money in communicating with the town ot Auburn; that being the cheapest'find quickest of the two reached by us; we therefore respectfully petition your Honorable bodies to take from the county of Nevada and attuch to the county of Placer, that portion. of Meadow~ Lake township contained within the following boundaries, viz: Commencing at a point on the summit of the dividing ridge: between the headwaters of Bear riyer and the South Fork of the Yuba river, where the South’ Yuva Canal Co’s. flume crosses said ridge; thence running due south to the north Placer county line. Starting again at the summit of said ridge ly show they.have for a railroad be-. tween here and Colfax is a horse-car railroad, are advueuting its eonstructio as the best thing. they can do. ‘Some of. them. say that there has Beew so much blowing about a_railroad, that they have no confidence they have been fooled so many times that they are ‘ little ‘‘skittish”’ of any kind of & railroad. -That kind . of talk is only wortby of a child, and not becoming to a business man who knows that as soon as a railroad is real estate enhanced in value. Those desiring the prosperity of our city will go into te new movgment with a will,.and those who don’t care a° straw. about the Welfare of the town will be quite apt to make fun of the, horseear railroad, and for fear they in the enterprise. The probabilities are that a broad or narrow,gauge road wiil never be built, and therefore we want the next best thing,and that isa horse-car railroad, which will answer our purpose better than stages orteams: The estimated cost of a broad gauge road, steam, to Colfax, is’ $1,060,000. Narrow gauge, steam, $300,000. Horse-car road, $150,000. Estimates for a new County. A correspondent of the Truckee Republican estimates the cost of running the proposed county of Donner, -He places the expenses at $17,000. Income, $21,556. © Another correspondent, which we consider the mast reliable of the two, estimates the cost the first year at $41,300, and theincagme at $20,550, or in other . words of saddling upon the county the first year a debt of about $20,000,and this county, would make it about ing up this estimate would be $2 on ure a little more closely if they desire to make the new county: win.

Annexation to Placer County. “Another strong’: effort is being made by the citizens of. Meadow Lake township to have the same annexed toPlacer. We understand that~a numberof leading citizens of Placer, including a portion’ of the members of the latter in the Legislature, have been soand¢d upon the subject, and are favorably inclivedto’the apnex-. ation scheme, says the Truckee Republican. A petition tothe Legislature, praying for annexation, ‘has been drawn up and circulated during the past two days in Trutkee and Boca. ‘It has been extensively signed, and would seem to ezpress the sentimest of the tax paying population. The petition is as follows: ‘The citizens of Meadow Lake township, in the eounty of Nevada, respectfully represent that we, as residents of this isolated section of territory; owing tothe great cost of going to and returaing from our present county seat, ‘and owing tothe fact that we have “dire¢t railroad sytmeupicafion with the connty seat { Placer county, thereby saving fime and money in communicating with the town ot Auburn; that being the cheapest'find quickest of the two reached by us; we therefore respectfully petition your Honorable bodies to take from the county of Nevada and attuch to the county of Placer, that portion. of Meadow~ Lake township contained within the following boundaries, viz: Commencing at a point on the summit of the dividing ridge: between the headwaters of Bear riyer and the South Fork of the Yuba river, where the South’ Yuva Canal Co’s. flume crosses said ridge; thence running due south to the north Placer county line. Starting again at the summit of said ridge ly show they.have for a railroad be-. tween here and Colfax is a horse-car railroad, are advueuting its eonstructio as the best thing. they can do. ‘Some of. them. say that there has Beew so much blowing about a_railroad, that they have no confidence they have been fooled so many times that they are ‘ little ‘‘skittish”’ of any kind of & railroad. -That kind . of talk is only wortby of a child, and not becoming to a business man who knows that as soon as a railroad is real estate enhanced in value. Those desiring the prosperity of our city will go into te new movgment with a will,.and those who don’t care a° straw. about the Welfare of the town will be quite apt to make fun of the, horseear railroad, and for fear they in the enterprise. The probabilities are that a broad or narrow,gauge road wiil never be built, and therefore we want the next best thing,and that isa horse-car railroad, which will answer our purpose better than stages orteams: The estimated cost of a broad gauge road, steam, to Colfax, is’ $1,060,000. Narrow gauge, steam, $300,000. Horse-car road, $150,000. Estimates for a new County. A correspondent of the Truckee Republican estimates the cost of running the proposed county of Donner, -He places the expenses at $17,000. Income, $21,556. © Another correspondent, which we consider the mast reliable of the two, estimates the cost the first year at $41,300, and theincagme at $20,550, or in other . words of saddling upon the county the first year a debt of about $20,000,and this county, would make it about ing up this estimate would be $2 on ure a little more closely if they desire to make the new county: win.
