AGE TWO Published weekly on Friday morning at Nevada City, Calif., and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevado City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year, any address in California. in advance ...... $2.00 ___Qutside California, in U. S. ¢ 2.50 Three Months i .60 One Month .......:---. 25 A Legal Newspaper and Nevada County, published at Nevada City. Elsie P. Willoughby of General Circulation for Nevada City as defined by legal statute. Printed and —CONCEN TRATES . It looks as though the Colfax road is going to have hard sledding, and iristead of its being completed by next fall it is more than likely that a readjustment of land value assessments along the sproposed route, or rather in that road district, will have to be made and the entire proceedings, including publication, gone through again; all because the Empre-Star Company officials claim } that they did not read the proposal until too late to-appear in opposition to it.The road district embraces both the Empire and the Idaho Maryland properties and these companies’ -.contention is' that they are assessed, As far as acreage is concerned, at least ten times what the agricultural owners are. That they are also unfortunately within the Irrigation District and that-in the event of foreclosure on account of the critical conGition in which the Nevada Irrigation District now finds itself, they— having mine workings and improvemets on their lands—will probably have to bear the full burden of the bond issue, which will perhaps be in the neighborhood of $10,000. The mining companies assert that} they are perfectly willing to shoulder their share of the expense of improving the road, but not to the extent proposod under the bond issue. ’ In ease bids ar éreceived and the district attempts to go ahead with the building of the road without consideration of the recent protest of the Empire-Star Company, that company insists it wilk enjoin the authorities and if necessary carry the case up to the supreme court in order to prevent the road being completed. In th emeantime we suppose we must continue to navigate that tenMile stretch of corrugated misery, which is at this time a disgrace to the county. A machine gets more wrenching ,pounding and abuse in . the ten miles betwee Grass Valley ad Bear River than it would in 2000 miles of ordinary driving, and when a driver finishes this trip he feels like taking off his hat to any manmade machine that: can stand up against this hammering and still retain its bolts and nuts. i Let us hope that some amicable agreement between our Board of Supervisors an dthe mining companies can soon be made which will be satisfactory to both, because we need— indeed, we must have—a better road to Colfax. Governor Rolph, Mayor Rossi of ‘lake, provided the distance to be about half filled, but Division Superintendent Herbert Cooper says he believes there will be run of water sufficient to fill the usual = spring rains no not fail us. ‘For a long time the Séuthern Pacific abandoned the outside tracks at Cape Horn, above Colfax. When the line was double-trackeda tunnel was carried through the hill below the clig, but it shortened the distance and consequently made the grade steeper so that the heavy freights had difficulty in ‘pulling through. ‘ The railroad company has been at work for some time placing a massive concrete retaining wall along the precipitious bluff and outbound passengers can onc eagain view the rugged canyon of the American and the tiny-lookig suspension pridge of the Iowa Hill road which spans it far below. ¢ Yes, Reno and Washoe County are doing very well, thank you, under Nevada’e new gambling law. So far 96 licenses have been issued, the Bank-Palace Club paying the largest fee of $1875. A total of about $6000 has been paid into the county treasury to date and with the expected influx of divorcees who ean take the “‘cure’’ now in six weeks instead of three months, the outlook for a busy season is quite rosy. ’ CAMPTONVILLE ITEMS CAMPTONVILLE, April 38 Special).—The board of trustees of the Camptonville Union School District held a meeting a few days ago and decided to give a bigbenefit dance in the middle of May, benefits from which will be used for the improvement of local school property.
