The necessity of having thé case tried at Nevada City is not obvious, and why the District Attorney brought, the action where he did, thereby putting many people on the Ridge to the expense of going over tiiere and dancing attendance two, or three days as witnesses, is not manifest to the unprejudiced, The county will have a big bill of costs to meet. It was hardly the thing. Irrigation is becoming the subject of agitation with the ranchers on the Ridge. They state that the present rates for water charged by’ the ditch corporations are extortionate; that by the time a season’s water bill is paid there is nothing to show for the labor. In fact, the water bill eats up the profits, and the corporations grasp all, With reasonable rates for water land could be made to pay, and many people would be induced to open up and cultivate large tracts of land on the Ridge which .now by reason of the price of water are virtually worthless. The matter of calling a meeting of those on the Ridge interested in the subject is now discussed. It is desired to devise ways and means to obtain relief in some way. The necessity of come action on the irrigation question becomes more pressing every day.

CALIFORNIA LITERATURE. The Overland Monthly For September—A Hich Number. The September Overland Monthly opens With a poem on the remarkable Chinook wind of Oregon and Washing ton, illustrated with sketches from the Columbia River connty. The other poems in the number are also of high grade, and of a striking variety in subject and manner,—'‘The Tarn,” a poein ofintellect; ‘fA Talisman,’ a love song, ‘of rarely tender and noble motive; ‘‘A Waye,’’ a poem of fancy; and ‘‘The Rainy Season,’ a ballad of the mines. John Vance Cheney, the poet and critic, takes issue with Mathew Arnold on his enumeration of the world’s “great poets’ as chiefly Greek, without including the Mlebrews at all. Other essays in the September Over/land are of more” practical cast: on “Slow-burning Construction’”—an appeal by an architect against the present dangerous method of building wooden houses—and ‘Shall American Carriers ‘Transport the Products of American Industry ?’’ a protest against some effects of the Interstate Commerce Law. One on the Apache Reservation, by Colonel Tassin, varies the serious and very weighty consideration it brings to bear on the Indian agent question, with some of the lively anecdotes that have made attractive the previous papers of this military student of Indians. Another Indian paper is Charles A. Moffet’s picturesque account of a visit to the Moqui country, Several light. sketches of mountain touring and sojourning are also in the nttarber: The stories in this number of the Overland are all short and very readable, varying from pathetic to droll— “A Basket of Eggs,’’ a’study, touching yet amusing, of a quaint old Danish woman in rural California; ‘‘Taoofa,” a Samoan legend of fierce heroism; “The Lone Highwayman,”’ a Colorado love tale; ‘The G. T. C. R. R.,” a mining story of a border county; and Pap,’’.a story of surveyors in the Cascade Mountains. -—~+0@e-+-— —_—-OUR CLIMATE DOES IT. The Remarkable Appetite oi a Nevada City Giri.

He laughingly told her she could have it if she would eat it. This she at once proceeded to do and actually accomplished, with the applause of many of her county seat admirers. Flushed with victory she next offered to clean up an Indian Springs farmer’s display of Zrapes and had almost succeeded in getting outside of the .whole selection when she was seized with cramps of stomach and had to be carried off by two stalwart Nevada City men, on a litter, Atlast accounts she was subsistingon Jamaiva ginger and. pro-, nounced ‘‘out of danger.” This exploit throws farin the shade that of another Nevada City girl who, at a recent lodge entertainment in Grass Valley, consumed, for a wager, nine ani three-fourths large dishes ~ of de creain. gee Cultivating appetitesand the dilating power seems to be a “fad” at the county seat, tells ‘Tuz record of cures accomplished by ‘Hood's Sarsaparilla can never be completely written.

The first store at the Forks of Oregon creek was built by Samuel Hammond and was called the Yomana store, from the bluff above the town being called by. that name—meaning ‘Sacred Hill.”’” In 1853°a meeting of the. citizens was held to select a name for the town and there was a tie vote for “Forks of Oregon” and ‘“Yomana.” The matter was compromised by agreeing to call the place after the first woman who should reside there.’ The first lady inhabitant was Mary Davis, the wife of a baker, and after her advent the town was indiscriminately called ‘‘Forks of Oregon,” and ‘‘Marietta.”* Davis soon sold out to Capt. Mooney, whose wife’s name was Forest. She was a lady of education and wrote several articles, which were sent to the Marysville papers.

The petition of William Proll for a »writ of mandate directing State Controller Dunn-to draw his warrant in favor of the petitioner for $297:75 was granted by the Supreme Court Tuesday morning. The amount was for supplies furnished to the State Mining Bureau, and it was contended that it was payable out of an appropriation provided for by an Act of the last Legislature, appropriating $100,000 for the support . and maintenance of the Mining Bureau. The contention of the respondent was that.the Act was insufficient, , be: cause the appropriation attempted to be made was not specific within the meaning of the Constitution.

Gen, Fairchild, chairman. of* the commission appointed to negotiate for the purchase of the Cherokee atrip, reported to the Interior department that the commission has done all that can be done until after the Cherokee Indians hold their council in November. The council will consider the Government's offer to buy their land at $1.25 per acre, andits action is final as far as the Indians are concerned. Secretary Noble has issued a circularto Pension agents reducing their apportionment for clerk hire to a figure that will not exceed the appropriation made by Congress for that purpose. The appropriation is insufficient, but the Secretary does‘not think it legal to increase the number of clerks, thus deliberately making a deficiency. This may resulf,in some delay at some of the agencies in paying the pensions for the quarter ending September 30. Commissioner of Pensions Tanner wants it distinctly understood that there is no quarrel between Secretary Noble and himself, nor.has there been at any time the slightest break in the pleasant personal relations: between them. Hesays, ‘‘Mr. Noble is one of the most lovable men, a man of broad official difference between us, these differences aré . pot of a personal character, Any Statement tending to create any other impression isunérue,’’ Marshal Ransdell has made himself solid with. the: working’ Republiycans: shereabouts ‘by asking for the resignation of three of, his Democratic deputies ‘and by announcing that it was his. purpose, to displace the rest of the Democrats employed under him and replace them with good Republicans as soon as possible.Senater Spooner dropped into Washington last week from a Massachusetts summer résort, He came to fix up some Wisconsin postoffices and things, and from. the broad smile he carried away he must have succeeded, A reckless newspaper man caught hina and attempted tointerview him on the Republican tariff bill. ‘Great.

THE NEW ROAD, Thoroughfare. , Saw Ivan, Auguat 21, 1889.Eprror Traxscrit—A few days ago at the invitation of our indefatigable Supervisor, M. Brophy, your correspondent tuok a ride with him for the purpose of viewing the new road to Graal Valley, the property until lately of the ‘Grags Valley and San Juan Turnpike Co, Going by way of Sweetland we struck the new road at a point intersecting the road to French Corral. Ths road from there to the river is generally in good traveling order, At places-on the grade to the South Yuba it 18 very narrow, so much go that large teams can not pass each other; bunt in the course of time this will be remedied and the road will become one of the best in the county. At the place where the bridge is being erect‘ed many of the longer pieces of timber to be used are ready for the dextrous hands of the builders to lay them in place. The timber is furnished under contract by Frank H. Bell & Co. of the Snow Tent mill. It is of good sound quality. and the best in the market, Quite a number of men are employed for blasting out rock for the approaches to the bridge. The piers will consist of large iron pipe filled with Portland cement and imbedded firmly in the excavated rock. They are guaranteed to withstand the greatest floods, The bridge will be° about 150 feet long. One of similar construction will ~be thrown’ across Rush creek. It will have a 60 feet span. The foreman stated that if the timber necessary to bridges was. on the ground now he would have the road open for travel in less than three weeks. Ags it is, he expects that in about four weeks the road-:will be open, Nine or ten men are employed. Mr. Brophy -as the Supervisor of this district has charge ef the work, and under his management there is no danger but that the bridge will meet the expectations of the traveling publie, When the new road. is declared open, it is the intention of a large number of our people here and down the Ridge te have a picnic party to celebrate its completion. Due notice will be given to the citizens of Nevada City and Grass Valley, who ‘will be avked to unite with wa in giving the new road a good send off. At what place it will be given is not yet determined, There are some very pleasant spots on the road about equally diatant between Sweetland and Grass Valley, and near the bridge. 8.

If anything—after good paying diggings—was essontial-to the happiness of «mining “company, it: was good bread. How we were wont to pride ourselves upon any extra skill we might have in that important accomplishment, and how we old pioneers look back and ‘‘point with pride” to our bread-making oven to this day; how we delight to boast to our wives of it, and express a belief that we cat still make as good bread with a lump of sour dough as any woman that breathes. And how quickly we snenk out of availing ourselves of an offered opportunity to display our wonderful bread-making, on tho high-minded ground that a man shculd not interfere in household matters. When the present State of Ohio was making its code, the Jones County Agicultural Society passed a resolution that a {gilure to know how to make bread should constitute legal cause for divorce. Whether the Ohio Solons acted on the advice or not I cannot vay; but it would have found some favor in the mines, Any one with a grain of sense can bake a potato, fry a beelsteak, or boil a rasher of bacon, and there is not cooking: but will tell you that when you lift a spoonfull of beans from the kettle.and blow on them, if the skins peel back under the breath the beans are done, but if not, stir the fire under themagain.

The necessity of having thé case tried at Nevada City is not obvious, and why the District Attorney brought, the action where he did, thereby putting many people on the Ridge to the expense of going over tiiere and dancing attendance two, or three days as witnesses, is not manifest to the unprejudiced, The county will have a big bill of costs to meet. It was hardly the thing. Irrigation is becoming the subject of agitation with the ranchers on the Ridge. They state that the present rates for water charged by’ the ditch corporations are extortionate; that by the time a season’s water bill is paid there is nothing to show for the labor. In fact, the water bill eats up the profits, and the corporations grasp all, With reasonable rates for water land could be made to pay, and many people would be induced to open up and cultivate large tracts of land on the Ridge which .now by reason of the price of water are virtually worthless. The matter of calling a meeting of those on the Ridge interested in the subject is now discussed. It is desired to devise ways and means to obtain relief in some way. The necessity of come action on the irrigation question becomes more pressing every day.

CALIFORNIA LITERATURE. The Overland Monthly For September—A Hich Number. The September Overland Monthly opens With a poem on the remarkable Chinook wind of Oregon and Washing ton, illustrated with sketches from the Columbia River connty. The other poems in the number are also of high grade, and of a striking variety in subject and manner,—'‘The Tarn,” a poein ofintellect; ‘fA Talisman,’ a love song, ‘of rarely tender and noble motive; ‘‘A Waye,’’ a poem of fancy; and ‘‘The Rainy Season,’ a ballad of the mines. John Vance Cheney, the poet and critic, takes issue with Mathew Arnold on his enumeration of the world’s “great poets’ as chiefly Greek, without including the Mlebrews at all. Other essays in the September Over/land are of more” practical cast: on “Slow-burning Construction’”—an appeal by an architect against the present dangerous method of building wooden houses—and ‘Shall American Carriers ‘Transport the Products of American Industry ?’’ a protest against some effects of the Interstate Commerce Law. One on the Apache Reservation, by Colonel Tassin, varies the serious and very weighty consideration it brings to bear on the Indian agent question, with some of the lively anecdotes that have made attractive the previous papers of this military student of Indians. Another Indian paper is Charles A. Moffet’s picturesque account of a visit to the Moqui country, Several light. sketches of mountain touring and sojourning are also in the nttarber: The stories in this number of the Overland are all short and very readable, varying from pathetic to droll— “A Basket of Eggs,’’ a’study, touching yet amusing, of a quaint old Danish woman in rural California; ‘‘Taoofa,” a Samoan legend of fierce heroism; “The Lone Highwayman,”’ a Colorado love tale; ‘The G. T. C. R. R.,” a mining story of a border county; and Pap,’’.a story of surveyors in the Cascade Mountains. -—~+0@e-+-— —_—-OUR CLIMATE DOES IT. The Remarkable Appetite oi a Nevada City Giri.

Gen, Fairchild, chairman. of* the commission appointed to negotiate for the purchase of the Cherokee atrip, reported to the Interior department that the commission has done all that can be done until after the Cherokee Indians hold their council in November. The council will consider the Government's offer to buy their land at $1.25 per acre, andits action is final as far as the Indians are concerned. Secretary Noble has issued a circularto Pension agents reducing their apportionment for clerk hire to a figure that will not exceed the appropriation made by Congress for that purpose. The appropriation is insufficient, but the Secretary does‘not think it legal to increase the number of clerks, thus deliberately making a deficiency. This may resulf,in some delay at some of the agencies in paying the pensions for the quarter ending September 30. Commissioner of Pensions Tanner wants it distinctly understood that there is no quarrel between Secretary Noble and himself, nor.has there been at any time the slightest break in the pleasant personal relations: between them. Hesays, ‘‘Mr. Noble is one of the most lovable men, a man of broad official difference between us, these differences aré . pot of a personal character, Any Statement tending to create any other impression isunérue,’’ Marshal Ransdell has made himself solid with. the: working’ Republiycans: shereabouts ‘by asking for the resignation of three of, his Democratic deputies ‘and by announcing that it was his. purpose, to displace the rest of the Democrats employed under him and replace them with good Republicans as soon as possible.Senater Spooner dropped into Washington last week from a Massachusetts summer résort, He came to fix up some Wisconsin postoffices and things, and from. the broad smile he carried away he must have succeeded, A reckless newspaper man caught hina and attempted tointerview him on the Republican tariff bill. ‘Great.

THE NEW ROAD, Thoroughfare. , Saw Ivan, Auguat 21, 1889.Eprror Traxscrit—A few days ago at the invitation of our indefatigable Supervisor, M. Brophy, your correspondent tuok a ride with him for the purpose of viewing the new road to Graal Valley, the property until lately of the ‘Grags Valley and San Juan Turnpike Co, Going by way of Sweetland we struck the new road at a point intersecting the road to French Corral. Ths road from there to the river is generally in good traveling order, At places-on the grade to the South Yuba it 18 very narrow, so much go that large teams can not pass each other; bunt in the course of time this will be remedied and the road will become one of the best in the county. At the place where the bridge is being erect‘ed many of the longer pieces of timber to be used are ready for the dextrous hands of the builders to lay them in place. The timber is furnished under contract by Frank H. Bell & Co. of the Snow Tent mill. It is of good sound quality. and the best in the market, Quite a number of men are employed for blasting out rock for the approaches to the bridge. The piers will consist of large iron pipe filled with Portland cement and imbedded firmly in the excavated rock. They are guaranteed to withstand the greatest floods, The bridge will be° about 150 feet long. One of similar construction will ~be thrown’ across Rush creek. It will have a 60 feet span. The foreman stated that if the timber necessary to bridges was. on the ground now he would have the road open for travel in less than three weeks. Ags it is, he expects that in about four weeks the road-:will be open, Nine or ten men are employed. Mr. Brophy -as the Supervisor of this district has charge ef the work, and under his management there is no danger but that the bridge will meet the expectations of the traveling publie, When the new road. is declared open, it is the intention of a large number of our people here and down the Ridge te have a picnic party to celebrate its completion. Due notice will be given to the citizens of Nevada City and Grass Valley, who ‘will be avked to unite with wa in giving the new road a good send off. At what place it will be given is not yet determined, There are some very pleasant spots on the road about equally diatant between Sweetland and Grass Valley, and near the bridge. 8.

If anything—after good paying diggings—was essontial-to the happiness of «mining “company, it: was good bread.

And how quickly we snenk out of availing ourselves of an offered opportunity to display our wonderful bread-making, on tho high-minded ground that a man shculd not interfere in household matters. When the present State of Ohio was making its code, the Jones County Agicultural Society passed a resolution that a {gilure to know how to make bread should constitute legal cause for divorce.
