SIGN THE PETITION.
NE of the most important practical questions before
the people of Northern California’ today is whether
the “temporary” forest reserves should be made permanent by the .Federal Government. As set forth
in the petition issued by the Nevada County Promotion Commanent forest reserve under the existing reserve laws, great
damage will result to the county’s interests, its material advancement will be retarded, and its mining, stock and agriThe greater portien of the land withdrawn from entry is not
suitable for forest reservation and will not conserve the purposes for which it is intended it should, and there are thousands of acres unfit for reservation, located within the proposed reserve and from which Nevada county receives in
taxes a yearly income of several thousand dollars, which
would under the conditions of the proposed reserve laws be
turned back to the Government, causing a great financial
loss to our county. These are true cold facts which are not}
contradicted or gainsayed by anyone who is well posted,
and what is true of the result to Nevada county would also
be the same in every mountain .county in Northern California. Reserve would cause great and irreparable injury to the
advancement of Northern California, and especially Nevada
county, and for this one. reason alone ‘the scheme should be
-abandoned;~
Many of the newspapers of he. State do not give the
Forest Reserve propesition the vigorous and strenuous opposition which they should, as they are half carried away with
the fad of forest preservation, and lose sight of the: great
injury it will inflict upon Northern and Central California.
Just note that the” proposed reserve includes the pine
belt of the Sierras clear to the Oregon line. The new reserve
scheme will eventually destroy all lumbering and mining
enterprises within its boundaries and in a brief time turn the
entire section into a wilderness again. All the talk about
mining and lumbering under the regulations of the Secretary of the Interior is bosh. No one will touch mines unless
plant and be compelled to accept the dictation of a Government agent as to the trees he may’cut? The whole scheme
is impracticable and the truth and fact is that it closes out
. the mining and lumbering industries, and in that event, in a
few years all California will have to go to Oregon aud Wash:
ington for this lumber. The private holdings of the lumber
companies will be. exhausted in a few years and in the meantime they can combine and raise the price on lumber to
please themselves. . No opposition saw mills could compete
as the timber would be tied up and out of reach. It would
diminish materially the taxable property in many counties
and break up their organization. All private holdings within
the prescribed boundaries would eventually go back into the
hands of the government. The great tracts belonging to the
big lumber companies, such as thé Towle Bros, Co., Sierra]
Lumber Co.,.and others that have already been lotrel of
timber, will be turned back to the government and exchanged
for scrip worth now in San Francisco from three to five dollars per acre, and all valueless Railroad lands will go the
same way—a bad steal from start to finish under the
guise of public benefit. If grazing is stopped on the reserves,
one can see where it puts the cattle and sheep industry of
California, and that will follow as sure as the reserves are
confirmed by the government.
Who the promoters of this scheme are is past finding
out, and unless the peeple of the mountain counties of CaliSouls wake up, and the press unite in a savage warfare, the
President, who has got his fill of forest reserve, will
inflict ‘his great wrong on our State. It seems that because
Michigan and some other States have cut the timber which
the trade of the prairie States demanded, and. cut off large
areas, we are not to be allowed to cut any. There is now a
corps of dudes from Washington looking over these reserves,
aud they are to tell us what we need! Have we no Californians capable of filling those places?
Now, what has become of our representatives—Senators
and Congressmen? Are they all dead? We trust the entire
press from Placer, ElDorado, and Amador counties on the
south, to Shasta, Siskiyou spi Del Norte counties om the
north, will rouse themselves to aggressive action in the matter and put a hot iron into our Senators and our representative from Humboldt, and wake them sharp, so that we can
stave this trouble off until we can
moters. Don’t be fooled by the Smooth twaddle in the law.
Ask any man of hard sense how much he would invest in
caprices of the Secretary of

colonists for settlement upon the fertile and unsettled lands of Texas. He,!

take all necessary precautions to land
the 1200 families safely in their new
homes, The order was faithfully carried out, but not before the bend of
new home-seekers had endured many
privations and territie sufferings at
the hands of the treacherous Apache
Indians, and who not only opposed
their entrance into the Lone Ster State,
but succeeded in killing off three of
the men who were guiding the
their destination. They finally reached Texas in the. latter part of 1847,
where the subject of thie sketch remained until all the immigrants had
been allotted the lands whieh it was
‘etipulated they should occupy.
