The road, we think, could bring over some freights from Colfax, and the people need the freights. We understand the contractors who are buildiug the road ¢an, iv a few days, tation. ‘That ean be done without injury to any one engaged in the tween this place and Colfax. It isa sort of ‘‘war necessity’’ now for the railroad to do the business of stepping forward and belpisg somewhat. The iron on-the road is rusting and the locomotives are idle. The railroud boys want.tu work, and they need exercise. The situation isvites the road tu doa great big accommodation, ; The way to do it. The editor of the Grass Valley Union loves to publish births. He sort of hankers after that kind of days, but the doctors tell him there have a weakness for sech notiees, and hope, ere long, to be able to record, if not the birth of an infant, at least, a notice that the aforesaid editor has been born again, Tax Secretary of War recently wrote a letter to the editor of the Marshalltown (lowa) Times, regretting that he ecoald lend Muarshaltown a cannon from Beek Island Arsena} for the Fourth, and tersely adds; “I have no mote right to lead a gau belonging.to the United States than the Secretary of the Treusury hus to arrange 80 a8 to do Some transpor-. is nothing but—prospects._Now we! of lust week, .Theburglars “borrowed’’ a band eart froma mill yard wart raing snow will remain unt! . p94; at hand, in which to wheel the. money chest away.
