Wotes of Vital Importance to Every Delinquent Taxpayer. ‘There is an unusual number of taxpayers who have failed to come forward up to this time and pay their State and county taxes. The Treasurer’s office is ordinarily kept open each day till 5 o’clock p.m. Every evening, from now till the last day, the office will also be kept open from 614 to 844 o’clock Pp. m. Monday next. being a legal holiday, the office will’ be closed. Tuesday will be the last day in which to” pay taxes, and the office will be closed promptly at 5 p. m. All taxes not paid at’ that time will have costs added. Heretofore a large number of people have delayed paying up until the last day, and a great many were not able to pay on aécount of the rush, and of course were eompelled to pay costs. In order to be on the safe side every one should see that their taxes are paid before Saturday evening of this week. On account of Monday being a legal holiday, on Tuesday, the last day, t e rush will be so large that it will be mext to an impossibility for the Treasurer and his deputies to accommodate all who may desire to settle up. Go immediately and pay your taxes. Remember there are only two debts that must always be paid promptly—death and taxes. PERSONAL MENTION.

He was quite ill yesterday, but not regarded as being dangerously so. Lou Emmons has returned from San Diego and Wells Ashman from Angeles. They were working at che carpenter trade down there. Mr. Emmons’ heulth was so injured by his few months’ residence in Southern ‘ California that he found it neeessary to return here to recuperate, and Mr Ashman came back because there is not enough work at Los Angeles to keep the hundreds of carpenters there steadily employed. They both say that all things considered there is no place like Nevada City and their experience teaches them that this is a good place to stay in. re Lost at Sea. Geo. B. Johnson, manager of the American Tea Store at this city, on Tuesday received news that the sailing vessel, Alfred Watts, commanded’ by his brother, Capt. Frank H.

Gaylord’s lw Notes About the Northern Centra/ California Citrus Belt, Beginning at least as far up as French Corral and extending down through Rough & Ready township, is »{ @ tract of country several miles wide that has been proven to be especially well adapted to orange growing. The few trees planted there by-way of experiment have’ borne heavily every year since they became of productive age, and the qualtity of the fruit has been equal tq the beat of the class (seedling) raised in the State, as it has been accorded ’ the first premium wherever brought into competion with like fruit from other sections. As that locality is certain to come into prominence during the next two or three years as a “citrus belt,” information relative to the subject of orange planting can but be of interest. The Bulletin says on the subject : “The adaptability of a large portion of Northern’ and Central California to the culture of citrus fruits gives considerable interest to any trustworthy estimate of the cost_of developing a bearing orange orchard. The cost has decreased considerable within the past ten years, and.each year furnishes the orange-grower with some new experience that tends to still’ further diminish the experise. Perhaps nothing did so much.toward lessening the expense .of deyeloping a bearing orange grove the art of budding, which enables the grower to gather fruit from his trees several years earlier than if he were to rely upon the seedling. Nurseries have also multiplied-in a corresponding degree with the development of orange culture and the opening of new markets for California oranges. Stock for planting an orchard does not, therefore, cost onefourth what it did ten or twelve years ago, and the industry has been brought in these days within the reach of many persons who could not possibly have afforded to enter it at an earlier period.” Recently several well-known Southern Californians have made estimates, based upon their experiences and the experiences of their neighbors, of the cost of obtaining a bearing orange orchard. General J. H. Fountain, ina recent communication to the Riverside Press, submits an estimate, basing it on the high prices of unimproved land in Southern California, It must be remembered that the same quality of land in the Nevada_county orange belt will not exceed from $10 to $50 an acre at present, although it will doubtless rapidly increase in price as its merits become known: Cost of twenty acres of land including fine Washington. naval orange trees two years old, and for setting the same, $210 an acre, $4,200. Planting and caring for the same as before estimated for one year at $50 an acre, $1,000. Caring for the same three years st . $30 per acre as before estimated, Interest on land and trees four years at 10 per cent, $420 a vear, $1,680. Interest on cost of cure after the first year at 10 per cent, $270. Cost for an orchard of twenty acres at the end of four years when, if properly cared for, they will be in a nice beuring condition, $9,000, or about $450.an -acre: or in some favorite locations when the .orange lands cost $300 an acre in place of $150, as in the above estimate, the orchard would cost about $600 an acre. Looking for Rodda. M.J. Brophy, a saloon keeper at San Francisco, arrived here Tucsday evening in search of Jim Rodda, Nevada county’s champion pugilist. He says that he wants to arrange for a fight between the redoubtable Rodda and a middle-weight slogger at the Bay who enjoys some renown. Jim now makes his headquarters at Grass Valley, and Brophy, who is an exprize fighter, went down there yesterday to interview him. ora iced sagen At the Theater. The Wilber Comedy Company’s dramatic representations at hardtimes prices of admission seem to have ‘‘caught on’ here. A large audience witnessed the production of ‘‘The Galley Slave’ on Tuesday evening, and the frequent outbursts of applause indicated that the entertainment furnished was highly satisfactory. Last night ‘‘The Two Orphans”’ was given, York” is underscored. Mining Mortgage Foreclosed, George C. Gaylord yesterday commenced a suit against Leopold Charonnat and others in the Superior ‘Court to foreclose a mortgage on the Charonnat quartz mine mining property at Canada Hill in this township.

Eprtor Transcript:—I -guess we will get it right after while, on that first Sheriff business. At the first election for county officers held in this county, on the 4th Monday in May, 1851, John W. Gallagher was elected . Sheriff. The other most’ prominent candidates were Wm. M. Stewart (now U.S. Senator from the State of Nevada) and Win. H. Endicott. The chances being favorable to Stewart’s success, a few days before the election @ combination was formed-~ between Gallagher and Endicott, under which Endicott withdrew in favor of Gallagher, and thus Gallagher was elected Sheriff, and Endicott became Under Sheriff as per contract. Gallagher, in a few months, mismanaged his affairs in office and otherwise, vamosed the county, and thus vacated his office. Endicott was appointed to fill the. vacancy, and was elected for a full term at the next election. E. WsRoserts. Grass VaLuey, Dec. 20, 1887. Annual . Work.

A Muddled Telegram. The following appears in ‘the San Francisco Post of Tuesday. Either the telegraph operator who received it or the printer who set it up must have been indulging pretty freely in co'd Wasuineron, Dec. 19th.—The President has appointed the following postmasters: At Clara, Nevada City, Cal., Thomas Farrell; at Marysville, Cal., Mary Florance; at Byrne, Grass Valley, Cal., Charles W.

On that evening the: new officers of the Parlor will be installed, and there will be a banquet served. Greatly Excited. Not a few of the citizens of Nevada City have recently become greatly excited over the astounding facts, that several of their friends who had been pronounced ty Sheng physicians as incurable and beyond all hope—suffering with that dreaded monster, Consum ption—have been completely cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, the only remedy that does positively cure all throat and lung diseases, Coughs, Colds, Asthma and Bronchitis.

An exchange gives the following as the latest rules adopted by theatergoers by mutual agreement: “Always go late. Saunter slowly down the aisle. Make as much noise as possible taking a seat. Raise your hand and beckon to the usher for programme. When you get it attract attention by the way it is flourished before looking at it. At first be inclined to sneer and jeer at the play, and whisper ‘chestnut’ or cocoanut in an audible voice. When then curtain goes down on the first act and great applause follows,get up and go out, apparently disgusted. Return in the middle of the second Pe. 'act, and smile when all those who have to get up to let you pass gruma) 5 _ Ask some one if you have lost anything by not seeing the first part of the second act, and ifso, what was it in detail. At the end of the second act yell bravo! and make a demonstration of applause that will deafen everybody around you, and bring the actors before the curtain. “Don’t go out between the second ‘and third acts, but remain and bore everybody in hearing by making a gushing criticism of the fine points made by the actors who won your hearty approbation. Work your opera glass to its fullest capacity during the third act and applaud vigorously every-fine point made by your favorite actor, even if it mars a pathetic scene. Go out between the third and fourth acts with a great deal of bustle and assurance, and come in after the curtain has gone up, with the unmistakable smell of liquid refreshment upon you, and a hilarious disposition to be prodigal with applause. Be sure and leave before the last act is over, just as the hero is dying and speakling in alow tremolo voice, and don’t forget to snap your opera glasses in casing them,.and stumble over the knees of those whé ignorantly desire to see the curtain go down. HERE AND THERE. The new time table of the Narrow ‘Gauge Railroad “will be found in another column. Mrs. Kate Cox has filed in the Superior Court a petition for letters of adminstration on the estate of Nicholas Cox, deceased. The estate is valued at $1,100. The petition will be heard Januray 3d. A property owner went to the Citizens Bank yesterday and insisted on paying his taxes there. Being told that the establishment was not engaged in that line’ 6f business, he declared that the Bank ought to take in the sign that was over its door, The sign he referred to was ‘‘Assay Office’? and he read it ‘‘Assessor’s Office.” An Eloquent Lecturer. Col. Hickman from Kentucky, who lectured at this city Monday and Tuesday evenings under the auspices of the-Good Templers, was listeped to by but moderate audiences. Those who heard him, however, say he is as able a speaker as. ever came here. At the close of Tuesday evening’s lecture ten citizens expressed their desire to hereafter train with the teetotalers, and a special meeting of Nevada Lodge of Good Templas was held in order to give them an opportunity to join that organization. Instructions in Elocution. A number of ladies and gentlemen of this city having expressed a desire to have instructions in el ocution from Goorge A. Watson, that gentleman has consented to remain here and give a six months’ course, provided he has applications from a sufficient number of pupils to warrant him in so dving, which he will no doubt receive from present ‘indications. Mr. Watson stands in the very front rank of elocutionists, and has had wide experience as an instructor. A Misinterpretation. An article in yesterday’s Transcript relative to the Nevada County Land aad Improvement Association has been misinterpreted by some who have read it. The Board of Directors elected some time.ago and including several Grass Valley citizens, hold over till their successors are chosen. No change has been made in the management. The Grass Valley office is also still maintained. Cashington, the Millionaire, Married a lady far from fair; But when smiles lit up her face, You forgot her want of grace.

Transcript that the Nevada City postoffice persimmon had dropped into Cal. R. Clarke’s mouth was received with great delight by that veteran disciple of Andrew Jackson and his friends. By noon yesterday his fingers were so crippled and stiff from the numerous handshakes he had been made the victim of that he had towrite with his left hand. Among the first tocall around and congratulate him on his success were Frank Power, Thonias Moran, William Bradley-and other opponents too numerous to mention. Cal. took his good fortune in a matter-of-fact sort of way as though he had expected this.outcome all the time, and those who claim to be on the inside say he was fully justitied in expecting it. He received the strongest kind of a support. from Congressman Biggs right from the start, and that gentlemanly undoubtedly had the say as to who should capture. the prize. Tom Moran had a little fun Tuesday at the expense of his fellow-citizens, George E. Turner on that day received an alleged telegram that Tom was the lucky man. The latter saw through the joke, but pretended not to and the news of his appointment which spread like wildfire created an unlimited amount of sport for him on account of the consternation of his friends, the enemy. Tom neither de-. nied nor affirmed the statement as to his appointment, and the first intimation the public had as to the real fact was found in this paper. + 2@eo— Another Nevada County Production. “That fellow is as slippery as a Nevada county eel,’’ said one man to another as they stood on Broad street yesterday talking about a certain politician who had taken an ambiguous position iti -the late local postoffice fight and made each particular aspirant think the aforesaid politician was solid fur him. “A Nevada county eel!’’ ejaculated the other. 4 “Well now,” said the first_speaker, “perhaps you don’t believe Nevada county produces eels, but I tell youshe does.

It was not written by Henry Ward Beecher, as has been supposed by many. The Hartford Times says that the authorship ‘‘has been traced to Miss Belle E.

ROGERS, Dated Nevade City, December 20, 1887. Notes of Progress From Nevada County's Twin Sister. Placer county’s boom is getting under full headway, : and Nevada county’s will soon get a start and keep pace with it. The following notes are gleaned from ‘the papers over there: Placer is being represented at Los Angeles by P. W. Butler, J. J. Morrison, J. F. Madden, Robert Jones, E. W. Maslin and W. B. Lardner. They expected to have, opened the rooms of the Placer county Citrus Fair on Friday last. Tiey are amply supplied with county literature, from the several newspaper’ offices of the county,and other sources. One of the best features accompanying the display will be the elaborate map loaned them by Mr. Birdsall, showing at a glance the ditch systém of the county, and tracing the lines of over 200 miles of divch: The Auburn Orange Growers’ Association has_an_orchard of about 1900 trees, ali of the choicest varieties, besides something over 2,000 young trees. in their nursery. The trees have made a growth during the Jast year that is astonishing, and the grove, on the whole, presents a sight that is simply charming. Some of the trees in this grove have been set out one,and some two years this:coming-spring,and a gentleman who travels a great deal through all parts of the State, says they are as fine looking and as thrifty for their age as any orange trees he ever saw anywhere. A few of the first planting have ripe oranges on now, and would have had many more except that they were purposely prevented from bearing this year in order to give better strength and growth tothe tree, Next year it is the intention,tg allow the trees, then coming three years old, to bear from 10 to 20 oranges each. The inquiries after land in: Placer are becoming thicker every day, and the price of land is adv. ncing accordingly. : J.D, Burlingame has drawn a map of Placer county, showing its railroad facilities and its position in the State with reference to Sacramento and San Francisco. The map is 10 by 15 feet in size, and will give the examiner a clear idea of its lumber and mining, fruit and wheat belts. Mr. Kirk, of Sacramento, who recenty bought the Grafmiller place, is intending, we understand, to p'ant_out. quite an extensive organge grove this coming spring. The land owners in the neighborhood of G. L. Threlkel and in the Consolidated and Franklin school districts have raised $6,000 for the purpose of bringing a line of water pipe from the Bear River ditch across their ranches. : BaKiné ~ POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Wotes of Vital Importance to Every Delinquent Taxpayer. ‘There is an unusual number of taxpayers who have failed to come forward up to this time and pay their State and county taxes. The Treasurer’s office is ordinarily kept open each day till 5 o’clock p.m. Every evening, from now till the last day, the office will also be kept open from 614 to 844 o’clock Pp. m. Monday next. being a legal holiday, the office will’ be closed. Tuesday will be the last day in which to” pay taxes, and the office will be closed promptly at 5 p. m. All taxes not paid at’ that time will have costs added. Heretofore a large number of people have delayed paying up until the last day, and a great many were not able to pay on aécount of the rush, and of course were eompelled to pay costs. In order to be on the safe side every one should see that their taxes are paid before Saturday evening of this week. On account of Monday being a legal holiday, on Tuesday, the last day, t e rush will be so large that it will be mext to an impossibility for the Treasurer and his deputies to accommodate all who may desire to settle up. Go immediately and pay your taxes. Remember there are only two debts that must always be paid promptly—death and taxes. PERSONAL MENTION.

Gaylord’s lw Notes About the Northern Centra/ California Citrus Belt, Beginning at least as far up as French Corral and extending down through Rough & Ready township, is »{ @ tract of country several miles wide that has been proven to be especially well adapted to orange growing. The few trees planted there by-way of experiment have’ borne heavily every year since they became of productive age, and the qualtity of the fruit has been equal tq the beat of the class (seedling) raised in the State, as it has been accorded ’ the first premium wherever brought into competion with like fruit from other sections. As that locality is certain to come into prominence during the next two or three years as a “citrus belt,” information relative to the subject of orange planting can but be of interest. The Bulletin says on the subject : “The adaptability of a large portion of Northern’ and Central California to the culture of citrus fruits gives considerable interest to any trustworthy estimate of the cost_of developing a bearing orange orchard. The cost has decreased considerable within the past ten years, and.each year furnishes the orange-grower with some new experience that tends to still’ further diminish the experise. Perhaps nothing did so much.toward lessening the expense .of deyeloping a bearing orange grove the art of budding, which enables the grower to gather fruit from his trees several years earlier than if he were to rely upon the seedling. Nurseries have also multiplied-in a corresponding degree with the development of orange culture and the opening of new markets for California oranges. Stock for planting an orchard does not, therefore, cost onefourth what it did ten or twelve years ago, and the industry has been brought in these days within the reach of many persons who could not possibly have afforded to enter it at an earlier period.” Recently several well-known Southern Californians have made estimates, based upon their experiences and the experiences of their neighbors, of the cost of obtaining a bearing orange orchard. General J. H. Fountain, ina recent communication to the Riverside Press, submits an estimate, basing it on the high prices of unimproved land in Southern California, It must be remembered that the same quality of land in the Nevada_county orange belt will not exceed from $10 to $50 an acre at present, although it will doubtless rapidly increase in price as its merits become known: Cost of twenty acres of land including fine Washington. naval orange trees two years old, and for setting the same, $210 an acre, $4,200. Planting and caring for the same as before estimated for one year at $50 an acre, $1,000. Caring for the same three years st . $30 per acre as before estimated, Interest on land and trees four years at 10 per cent, $420 a vear, $1,680. Interest on cost of cure after the first year at 10 per cent, $270. Cost for an orchard of twenty acres at the end of four years when, if properly cared for, they will be in a nice beuring condition, $9,000, or about $450.an -acre: or in some favorite locations when the .orange lands cost $300 an acre in place of $150, as in the above estimate, the orchard would cost about $600 an acre. Looking for Rodda. M.J. Brophy, a saloon keeper at San Francisco, arrived here Tucsday evening in search of Jim Rodda, Nevada county’s champion pugilist. He says that he wants to arrange for a fight between the redoubtable Rodda and a middle-weight slogger at the Bay who enjoys some renown. Jim now makes his headquarters at Grass Valley, and Brophy, who is an exprize fighter, went down there yesterday to interview him. ora iced sagen At the Theater.

Eprtor Transcript:—I -guess we will get it right after while, on that first Sheriff business. At the first election for county officers held in this county, on the 4th Monday in May, 1851, John W. Gallagher was elected . Sheriff. The other most’ prominent candidates were Wm. M. Stewart (now U.S. Senator from the State of Nevada) and Win. H. Endicott. The chances being favorable to Stewart’s success, a few days before the election @ combination was formed-~ between Gallagher and Endicott, under which Endicott withdrew in favor of Gallagher, and thus Gallagher was elected Sheriff, and Endicott became Under Sheriff as per contract. Gallagher, in a few months, mismanaged his affairs in office and otherwise, vamosed the county, and thus vacated his office. Endicott was appointed to fill the. vacancy, and was elected for a full term at the next election. E. WsRoserts. Grass VaLuey, Dec. 20, 1887. Annual . Work.

An exchange gives the following as the latest rules adopted by theatergoers by mutual agreement: “Always go late. Saunter slowly down the aisle. Make as much noise as possible taking a seat. Raise your hand and beckon to the usher for programme. When you get it attract attention by the way it is flourished before looking at it. At first be inclined to sneer and jeer at the play, and whisper ‘chestnut’ or cocoanut in an audible voice. When then curtain goes down on the first act and great applause follows,get up and go out, apparently disgusted. Return in the middle of the second Pe. 'act, and smile when all those who

have to get up to let you pass gruma) 5 _ Ask some one if you have lost anything by not seeing the first part of the second act, and ifso, what was it in detail. At the end of the second act yell bravo! and make a demonstration of applause that will deafen everybody around you, and bring the actors before the curtain. “Don’t go out between the second ‘and third acts, but remain and bore everybody in hearing by making a gushing criticism of the fine points made by the actors who won your hearty approbation. Work your opera glass to its fullest capacity during the third act and applaud vigorously every-fine point made by your favorite actor, even if it mars a pathetic scene. Go out between the third and fourth acts with a great deal of bustle and assurance, and come in after the curtain has gone up, with the unmistakable smell of liquid refreshment upon you, and a hilarious disposition to be prodigal with applause. Be sure and leave before the last act is over, just as the hero is dying and speakling in alow tremolo voice, and don’t forget to snap your opera glasses in casing them,.and stumble over the knees of those whé ignorantly desire to see the curtain go down.

Col. Hickman from Kentucky, who lectured at this city Monday and Tuesday evenings under the auspices of the-Good Templers, was listeped to by but moderate audiences. Those who heard him, however, say he is as able a speaker as. ever came here. At the close of Tuesday evening’s lecture ten citizens expressed their desire to hereafter train with the teetotalers, and a special meeting of Nevada Lodge of Good Templas was held in order to give them an opportunity to join that organization. Instructions in Elocution. A number of ladies and gentlemen of this city having expressed a desire to have instructions in el ocution from Goorge A.

Transcript that the Nevada City postoffice persimmon had dropped into Cal. R. Clarke’s mouth was received with great delight by that veteran disciple of Andrew Jackson and his friends. By noon yesterday his fingers were so crippled and stiff from the numerous handshakes he had been made the victim of that he had towrite with his left hand. Among the first tocall around and congratulate him on his success were Frank Power, Thonias Moran, William Bradley-and other opponents too numerous to mention. Cal. took his good fortune in a matter-of-fact sort of way as though he had expected this.outcome all the time, and those who claim to be on the inside say he was fully justitied in expecting it. He received the strongest kind of a support. from Congressman Biggs right from the start, and that gentlemanly undoubtedly had the say as to who should capture. the prize. Tom Moran had a little fun Tuesday at the expense of his fellow-citizens, George E. Turner on that day received an alleged telegram that Tom was the lucky man. The latter saw through the joke, but pretended not to and the news of his appointment which spread like wildfire created an unlimited amount of sport for him on account of the consternation of his friends, the enemy. Tom neither de-. nied nor affirmed the statement as to his appointment, and the first intimation the public had as to the real fact was found in this paper. + 2@eo— Another Nevada County Production. “That fellow is as slippery as a Nevada county eel,’’ said one man to another as they stood on Broad street yesterday talking about a certain politician who had taken an ambiguous position iti -the late local postoffice fight and made each particular aspirant think the aforesaid politician was solid fur him. “A Nevada county eel!’’ ejaculated the other. 4 “Well now,” said the first_speaker, “perhaps you don’t believe Nevada county produces eels, but I tell youshe does.

ROGERS, Dated Nevade City, December 20, 1887. Notes of Progress From Nevada County's Twin Sister. Placer county’s boom is getting under full headway, : and Nevada county’s will soon get a start and keep pace with it. The following notes are gleaned from ‘the papers over there: Placer is being represented at Los Angeles by P. W. Butler, J. J. Morrison, J. F. Madden, Robert Jones, E. W. Maslin and W. B. Lardner. They expected to have, opened the rooms of the Placer county Citrus Fair on Friday last. Tiey are amply supplied with county literature, from the several newspaper’ offices of the county,and other sources. One of the best features accompanying the display will be the elaborate map loaned them by Mr. Birdsall, showing at a glance the ditch systém of the county, and tracing the lines of over 200 miles of divch: The Auburn Orange Growers’ Association has_an_orchard of about 1900 trees, ali of the choicest varieties, besides something over 2,000 young trees. in their nursery. The trees have made a growth during the Jast year that is astonishing, and the grove, on the whole, presents a sight that is simply charming. Some of the trees in this grove have been set out one,and some two years this:coming-spring,and a gentleman who travels a great deal through all parts of the State, says they are as fine looking and as thrifty for their age as any orange trees he ever saw anywhere. A few of the first planting have ripe oranges on now, and would have had many more except that they were purposely prevented from bearing this year in order to give better strength and growth tothe tree, Next year it is the intention,tg allow the trees, then coming three years old, to bear from 10 to 20 oranges each. The inquiries after land in: Placer are becoming thicker every day, and the price of land is adv. ncing accordingly. : J.D, Burlingame has drawn a map of Placer county, showing its railroad facilities and its position in the State with reference to Sacramento and San Francisco. The map is 10 by 15 feet in size, and will give the examiner a clear idea of its lumber and mining, fruit and wheat belts. Mr. Kirk, of Sacramento, who recenty bought the Grafmiller place, is intending, we understand, to p'ant_out. quite an extensive organge grove this coming spring. The land owners in the neighborhood of G. L. Threlkel and in the Consolidated and Franklin school districts have raised $6,000 for the purpose of bringing a line of water pipe from the Bear River ditch across their ranches. : BaKiné ~ POWDER Absolutely Pure.
