A prominent citizen of the county who is an old and valued subscriber to this paper writes as follows to the publishers : “T regret the necessity which compels me to ask you to take my name from the Transcript’s subscription list, for it is the kind of a newspaper that deserves the patronage of every intelligent citizen of the county; but I am at present too poor in purse to continue taking it. No true Republiéan in Nevada county should ever for a moment forget the Transcr:pr’s unloyalty und undaunted brayery in supporting the principles and the worthy candidates of their party. Other papers have come ond gone, have puton and off political principles as men do their coats, but in sunshine and shadow, victory and de~ feat, the gallant Transcript has ever been true to its colors. Yet I have never ‘known it, with ‘all its party fervor,to be charged by the opposition with bigotry or viciousness.

In Search of an Uncle. Mrs. Annie 8. Rose and James W. Reynolds of Tacoma, Washington Territory, arrived here Thursday morning. They came in search of the lady’s uncle, James Stacy, who died last September at the county hospital of which institution he had been an itimate but a few weeks. Stacy had for many years been. engaged in prospecting around Graniteville, and, his relatives had lost trace of him for twenty years till about a year before his death when they found him through an advertisement in the newspapers. They corresponded with him up te the time he was taken ill and then they heard nothing more from him. _ He left no property of value. Committed to Stockton. Mrs. Jane Pascoe, wife of Edwin Pascoe of Grass Valley, aged 45 years and the mother of three children the youngest of which is but seven months old, has been examined and ordered taken tothe Stockton Asylum for the Insane.

THE SCHEME TO STEAL TRUCKEE. Other Matters Before the Legislature. AES SACRAMENTO, January 23d, 1889. ‘Eprrorn ‘Transcript—As I did some scribbling for your paper from Sacramento during the last Legislature anent matters legislative, and as the TRANSCRIPT was not mobbed for printing the stuff, which speaks well for the forbearance of your readers,I make bold to ayain address myself to your columns. I have seen a number of Legislatures in this State and in the State of Nevada during the last thirty years, and to my notion they are pretty much all alike, being neither wholly good, bad or indifferent, and the particular Legislature now in session here is no exception to thatidea of mine. There are in it some bright, smart men, presumably some honest ones and presumably some «otherwise. There ate many dullards and perhaps some boodlers,--bat-thesede—nat-come-exclusively from the interior counties. San Francisco—that—seat of wealth; culture and progress of the State, furnishes its quota of “chumps.” In other words, all the idiots in the Legislature do not hail from Milpitas or Mud Springs, "THE NEVADA COUNTY DELEGATION, Consisting of Judge Sykes and Rev. Mr. Sims, in the House, and Mr. Preston in the Senate, while not at all obtrusive, are recognized: as influential in all matters pertaining to the interests of their county in particular and the’State in general. This arises from_the fact that they are in thorough harmony and accord on all questions of policy or legislation, either local or general, and act as with an eye single in all matters affecting the county of Nevada. One notable incident is that a representative from Nevada county—-Rev. Mr. Sims—is the only Republican in the Legislature who has been accorded the honor of a chairmanship of a committee. This gentleman is chairman of the committee on Public Morals, and itis a very appropriate selection. It is doubtwards the regulation of legislative morals. The trouble with the morals of the members is that they have too much committee work to do at night, and sitting up late of nights and studying intricate problems on how to make three aces beat a full hand, is so wearing on the brain and nerves that they are compelled to drink Sacra. mento champagne as a nervine, and Bacramento champagne is almost as deadly in its effects as Sacramento water. THE MINING QUESTION. There is no likelihood ofa repetition of the stirring scenes. of last session on the hydraulic, question, whenSenator Walrath bittled so nobly in the Senate against overwhelming odds in behalf of the Debris Dam bill. The only indication thus far of any ‘agitation. of the subject at all is the introduction of a bill for the appoint ment of a commission to confer and co-operate with the Federal Comunission. This measure provides that said coinmission shall consist of two miners, two anti-miners and one civil engineer. It does not meet the approval of the mining men in the Legislature, who hold to the opinion that there should be no State interference with the Federal Commission, and to the belief that the people of the mining counties are willing to abide by the-decision-and_-dictum-of that—tribunal, The representatives of the mining counties being thus quiescent, the: rampaging anti-debris fiend of the valleys is not quite so conspicuous ani aggressive as of yore. COUNTY SALARIES. A bill affecting your county has been introduced by Mr. Sims, with the concurrence of the other members of the Nevada county délegation. Another matter of interest to Nevada county is the effort being made to reduce the license on sheep from five cents to one cent per head. This will be strenuously fought by the Nevada delegation. SAWDUST AND BOUNDARY. How would-the people of your part of Nevada county like to have the town of Truckee and its surroundings ceded to the State of Nevada? I fancy they would ‘‘kick”’ at such a proposition. A delegation.from.the Nevada Legislature has been here in the endeavor to secure some action by the California State government looking to the change of the boundary line of the two states to make it conform to the topographical and existing traffic ‘conditions; that is to say, to move the line westward so as to follow the ridge of the Sierra Nevada range. The sagebrashers got cold comfort in this matter and went home hopeless of accomplishing anything this year, but they gained one point for which they or} came, and that was also on a subject in which Nevada ‘county is specially interested. This. was in relation to ‘the restriction of fouling and impairHing streams and destroying the fish 8°! therein by the.deposition of sawdust. It was agreed between the committees ful, however, if he can do much to-. ‘for Caterrh, .{ representing the two states that an act should be passed by each State providing for the abolition of this evil. This is a correct move. It is mere parsimony on the part of-the sawmill owners that they do not dispose of their. sawdust in such a manner as not to damage the streams or the property of others. If the mining debris could be as easily disposed of as the:sawdust can there would be an end to the hydraulic controversy.

The County Supervisors Advised te Invest in a Lawsuit nee W. D. Long on Thursday morning presented the following to the County Supervisors : “To the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Nevada county—Gentlemen—The present Grand Jury when it first met made a request that you take action in relation to funds that had been paid to Sheriff George Lord that the Sheriff had failed to pay into the county treasury. As you have failed to take action on the matter up to this time, and as I was your legal adviser during the past four years, I deem it due to you, to the taxpayers, as well as to my own reputation to make a brief statement of the facts and the laws applicable to this case. Mr. Lord contends that he has a perfect right<to retain all the money he received for all official business sent.to him from any point outside of the county lines, but he admits he paid a portion of the money he received from the so-called ‘foreign business’ under protest. He further admits he retained a portion of the money he had" received from this class of business. He further admits_that_he has_no record of this class of business that he has not paid into the county treasury. Lord admits that he never in his life until this question came up recently consulted the District Attorney of this county, or any other attorney in the county of Nevada on this important official business. His admissions were a perfect surprise to me when I heard them. The Sheriff's office is now a salaried office, and.has been since the passage of the county government bill jin 1883. Hence T give it as-my opinion Mr. Lord cannot of his own motion retain one dollar of the money he receives as an officer for any kind or class of business sent to him for official action, Second, he should pay every dollar he has received, that he has not already paid, at once to the County Treasurer. The premises considered, I suggest that your Hon. body instruct our District Attorney to call upon Sheriff George Lord and request him. to obtain a full, true and correct statement of all the money that he has received during the last past four years, that he has retained for this class of business; that Mr. Lord pay it into the Treasury of this county at once. In case Mr. Lord should fail or refuse to do so in the next thirty days that the District Attorney be instructed to employ a competent person to ascertain as near as practicable the said amounts, at the county expense, and that he commence suit against Sheriff George Lord and his bondsmen for the same. This I am certain can be done for a small sum, Since my attention was called to this important money. transaction I have given it due consideration. Allow me to say in conclusion it is-not a pleasant task to make this statement. * Respectfully, “W. D. Lona, ‘*Ex-District Attorney. “January 24; 1889."" DEBRIS DAMS. An Old Miner Telle Some Truths About Them. — Eprror Transcriet—In your paper of the 15th instant I have read a summary of the report of the Sacramento engineers, upon the small Liberty Hill debris dam on Bear river. One would suppose from this: report that this dam had conclusively proved the inefficiency of debris dams. To any one not entirely blind to the objects sought to be arrived at by debris danas, the very fact that this dam had stdod the floods of two or three winters and is still there (although these same engineers said it would not stand and Judge Sawyer agreed with their views and forbid its use) is the very best dams. Debris dams are built for the purpose of being filled with debris, not with water, and when once filled to their capacity, as this one 1s, have answered the very purpose for which they are constructed. fill with debris they would be useless. It is quite certain that the engineers composing the United States ConSacramento engineers for showing them that debris dams will stand, algo, that they will fill with debris if purpose for which they were built. Tf this Liberty Hill dam had been con= structed with a greater storage capacity than was the case it would probably have filled. that all the material behind it has not gone on down the Tiver, and it certainly proves that if the dams in the river were high enough and the storage eapacity-was large—enough,—all_the debris in Bear river above them would siop in these reservoirs and never get into the valleys at all. Itis a very simple matter to estimate the storage capacity of a debris reservoir created by a dam or obstructions in the river. It is also a very simple matter to estimate the quantity of material to be mined out from.a mine which is to be stored in that reservoir, and if the reservoir will hold all the material from the mine and retain it permanently it will answer the purpose for which it was built. If more material comes from other sources so-that-the rogervoir is overstocked it will nevertheless have fully answered all the purposes for which it was built, even if a portion of the material from the mine does pass on, over its crest; as for instance, suppose that a mine on Bear river contains 100,000 cubic yards of ground which the: owner wishes to mine out. and place the debrig in the river. He constructs a reservoir in the river by building a permanent dam across it, behind which the material-is to be stored,and this reservoir has a capacity of 100,000 cubic yards. Before the mine is exit is filled with material from other sources which wonld have pussed on down the river if the dam had not hausted, or by the time the miner has mined out say 50,000 cubic yards the reservoir is filled. It must be evident THE OTHER SIDE. . Long does not agree in his ‘views of this matter with many other eminent attorneys, such as. Hon. Jo Campbell, Hon. J. H. Budd of Stockton, Judge David Terry and Hon. The unthinking are prone to make game of nervousness. Yet this is a very real and serious affliction, the harassing. symptoms of which are rendered all the more poignant by The stomach is usually responsible for these symptoms—its weakness and disorder find a reflex in the brain, which is the headquarters of the nervous system.

The Transcript has in its possession at this writing a large number of letters from Sheriffs of various counties who have been communicated with on this subject, and the following extract from some of them show that Mr. Lord and the attorneys under whose advice he has acted are not alone in disagreeing with ex-District Attorney Long and the Grand Jury which under Long’s advice recommended the Supervisors to bring suit against Sheriff Lord: W. P. Harkly, Sheriff and Tax Collector of Sntter county, writes: ‘I do not, for outside work, turn the fees into the county treasury.” 8. A. McDowell, Sheriff of San Diego county, writes: “I do not pay into the county treasury fees received for services from outside courts.” John A. Cole, Sheriff of San Bervardino county, writes: ‘I retain all fees for services done outside my county. I took legal advice on the subject from Hon. H. M. Willis, now Superior Judge~ of San Bertardino county, and his advice was that I am entitled to keep the fees for all work done for other counties or States.’ Sam E. Inlow when Sheriff of Yuba county, and shortly before the expiration of his term wrote: ‘‘I do not pay into the county treasury fees collected for outside business.” John H. Givens, Sheriff of Merced county, writes as follows: ‘Until quite recently I paid all fees, etc., from every source into the county treasury, but Mr. Breckenridge, DistrictAttorney of Merced county, advised me that I am entitled to retain all fees for services rendered to any court outside of this county.” Dallas McCord, Sheriff of Kern county, writes: ‘‘I retain all fees for outside business, doing so by advice of our District Attorney and other prominent lawyers.” The Sheriffs of the State have taken steps to have this question thoroughly tested and definitely settled by the highest courts. Sheriff Lord, unlike the most of them, has not retained all the fees from outside business, but simply sufficient of the amount to pay the expenses of transacting such business. Mr. Lord and the others hold themselves in’ readiness to repay the amounts they have rd provided the test case goes against arrested it. Thén if the miner places the remaining 60,000 cubic yards in his mine in the river and it passes on down, no more material has passed than if one dam had heen erected, and it has fully answered the purpose for which it was built. Therefore it follows that the dam—like the Bear river dam—is a sticcess for it impounds and arrests material toits capacity, which would otherwise have passed on into the valley, and any. sensible person. must know that one downflow of the vast quantity of material now in the rivers can only be arrested by dams acro3s the rivers, also that if such steuctures will arrest the downflow of debris in the rivers-and keep it there, similar structures will also arrest any new material which might be deposit‘ed in these rivers from any source.

A prominent citizen of the county who is an old and valued subscriber to this paper writes as follows to the publishers : “T regret the necessity which compels me to ask you to take my name from the Transcript’s subscription list, for it is the kind of a newspaper that deserves the patronage of every intelligent citizen of the county; but I am at present too poor in purse to continue taking it. No true Republiéan in Nevada county should ever for a moment forget the Transcr:pr’s unloyalty und undaunted brayery in supporting the principles and the worthy candidates of their party. Other papers have come ond gone, have puton and off political principles as men do their coats, but in sunshine and shadow, victory and de~ feat, the gallant Transcript has ever been true to its colors.

THE SCHEME TO STEAL TRUCKEE. Other Matters Before the Legislature. AES SACRAMENTO, January 23d, 1889. ‘Eprrorn ‘Transcript—As I did some scribbling for your paper from Sacramento during the last Legislature anent matters legislative, and as the TRANSCRIPT was not mobbed for printing the stuff, which speaks well for the forbearance of your readers,I make bold to ayain address myself to your columns. I have seen a number of Legislatures in this State and in the State of Nevada during the last thirty years, and to my notion they are pretty much all alike, being neither wholly good, bad or indifferent, and the particular Legislature now in session here is no exception to thatidea of mine. There are in it some bright, smart men, presumably some honest ones and presumably some «otherwise. There ate many dullards and perhaps some boodlers,--bat-thesede—nat-come-exclusively from the interior counties. San Francisco—that—seat of wealth; culture and progress of the State, furnishes its quota of “chumps.” In other words, all the idiots in the Legislature do not hail from Milpitas or Mud Springs, "THE NEVADA COUNTY DELEGATION, Consisting of Judge Sykes and Rev. Mr. Sims, in the House, and Mr. Preston in the Senate, while not at all obtrusive, are recognized: as influential in all matters pertaining to the interests of their county in particular and the’State in general. This arises from_the fact that they are in thorough harmony and accord on all questions of policy or legislation, either local or general, and act as with an eye single in all matters affecting the county of Nevada. One notable incident is that a representative from Nevada county—-Rev. Mr. Sims—is the only Republican in the Legislature who has been accorded the honor of a chairmanship of a committee. This gentleman is chairman of the committee on Public Morals, and itis a very appropriate selection. It is doubtwards the regulation of legislative morals. The trouble with the morals of the members is that they have too much committee work to do at night, and sitting up late of nights and studying intricate problems on how to make three aces beat a full hand, is so wearing on the brain and nerves that they are compelled to drink Sacra. mento champagne as a nervine, and Bacramento champagne is almost as deadly in its effects as Sacramento water. THE MINING QUESTION. There is no likelihood ofa repetition of the stirring scenes. of last session on the hydraulic, question, whenSenator Walrath bittled so nobly in the Senate against overwhelming odds in behalf of the Debris Dam bill. The only indication thus far of any ‘agitation. of the subject at all is the introduction of a bill for the appoint ment of a commission to confer and co-operate with the Federal Comunission. This measure provides that said coinmission shall consist of two miners, two anti-miners and one civil engineer. It does not meet the approval of the mining men in the Legislature, who hold to the opinion that there should be no State interference with the Federal Commission, and to the belief that the people of the mining counties are willing to abide by the-decision-and_-dictum-of that—tribunal, The representatives of the mining counties being thus quiescent, the: rampaging anti-debris fiend of the valleys is not quite so conspicuous ani aggressive as of yore. COUNTY SALARIES. A bill affecting your county has been introduced by Mr. Sims, with the concurrence of the other members of the Nevada county délegation. Another matter of interest to Nevada county is the effort being made to reduce the license on sheep from five cents to one cent per head. This will be strenuously fought by the Nevada delegation. SAWDUST AND BOUNDARY. How would-the people of your part of Nevada county like to have the town of Truckee and its surroundings ceded to the State of Nevada? I fancy they would ‘‘kick”’ at such a proposition. A delegation.from.the Nevada Legislature has been here in the endeavor to secure some action by the California State government looking to the change of the boundary line of the two states to make it conform to the topographical and existing traffic ‘conditions; that is to say, to move the line westward so as to follow the ridge of the Sierra Nevada range. The sagebrashers got cold comfort in this matter and went home hopeless of accomplishing anything this year, but they gained one point for which they or} came, and that was also on a subject in which Nevada ‘county is specially interested. This. was in relation to ‘the restriction of fouling and impairHing streams and destroying the fish 8°! therein by the.deposition of sawdust. It was agreed between the committees ful, however, if he can do much to-. ‘for Caterrh, .{ representing the two states that an act should be passed by each State providing for the abolition of this evil. This is a correct move. It is mere parsimony on the part of-the sawmill owners that they do not dispose of their. sawdust in such a manner as not to damage the streams or the property of others. If the mining debris could be as easily disposed of as the:sawdust can there would be an end to the hydraulic controversy.

The County Supervisors Advised te Invest in a Lawsuit nee W. D. Long on Thursday morning presented the following to the County Supervisors : “To the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Nevada county—Gentlemen—The present Grand Jury when it first met made a request that you take action in relation to funds that had been paid to Sheriff George Lord that the Sheriff had failed to pay into the county treasury. As you have failed to take action on the matter up to this time, and as I was your legal adviser during the past four years, I deem it due to you, to the taxpayers, as well as to my own reputation to make a brief statement of the facts and the laws applicable to this case. Mr. Lord contends that he has a perfect right<to retain all the money he received for all official business sent.to him from any point outside of the county lines, but he admits he paid a portion of the money he received from the so-called ‘foreign business’ under protest. He further admits he retained a portion of the money he had" received from this class of business. He further admits_that_he has_no record of this class of business that he has not paid into the county treasury. Lord admits that he never in his life until this question came up recently consulted the District Attorney of this county, or any other attorney in the county of Nevada on this important official business. His admissions were a perfect surprise to me when I heard them. The Sheriff's office is now a salaried office, and.has been since the passage of the county government bill jin 1883. Hence T give it as-my opinion Mr. Lord cannot of his own motion retain one dollar of the money he receives as an officer for any kind or class of business sent to him for official action, Second, he should pay every dollar he has received, that he has not already paid, at once to the County Treasurer. The premises considered, I suggest that your Hon. body instruct our District Attorney to call upon Sheriff George Lord and request him. to obtain a full, true and correct statement of all the money that he has received during the last past four years, that he has retained for this class of business; that Mr. Lord pay it into the Treasury of this county at once. In case Mr. Lord should fail or refuse to do so in the next thirty days that the District Attorney be instructed to employ a competent person to ascertain as near as practicable the said amounts, at the county expense, and that he commence suit against Sheriff George Lord and his bondsmen for the same. This I am certain can be done for a small sum, Since my attention was called to this important money. transaction I have given it due consideration. Allow me to say in conclusion it is-not a pleasant task to make this statement. * Respectfully, “W. D. Lona, ‘*Ex-District Attorney. “January 24; 1889."" DEBRIS DAMS. An Old Miner Telle Some Truths About Them. — Eprror Transcriet—In your paper of the 15th instant I have read a summary of the report of the Sacramento engineers, upon the small Liberty Hill debris dam on Bear river. One would suppose from this: report that this dam had conclusively proved the inefficiency of debris dams. To any one not entirely blind to the objects sought to be arrived at by debris danas, the very fact that this dam had stdod the floods of two or three winters and is still there (although these same engineers said it would not stand and Judge Sawyer agreed with their views and forbid its use) is the very best dams. Debris dams are built for the purpose of being filled with debris, not with water, and when once filled to their capacity, as this one 1s, have answered the very purpose for which they are constructed. fill with debris they would be useless. It is quite certain that the engineers composing the United States ConSacramento engineers for showing them that debris dams will stand, algo, that they will fill with debris if purpose for which they were built. Tf this Liberty Hill dam had been con= structed with a greater storage capacity than was the case it would probably have filled. that all the material behind it has not gone on down the Tiver, and it certainly proves that if the dams in the river were high enough and the storage eapacity-was large—enough,—all_the debris in Bear river above them would siop in these reservoirs and never get into the valleys at all. Itis a very simple matter to estimate the storage capacity of a debris reservoir created by a dam or obstructions in the river. It is also a very simple matter to estimate the quantity of material to be mined out from.a mine which is to be stored in that reservoir, and if the reservoir will hold all the material from the mine and retain it permanently it will answer the purpose for which it was built. If more material comes from other sources so-that-the rogervoir is overstocked it will nevertheless have fully answered all the purposes for which it was built, even if a portion of the material from the mine does pass on, over its crest; as for instance, suppose that a mine on Bear river contains 100,000 cubic yards of ground which the: owner wishes to mine out. and place the debrig in the river. He constructs a reservoir in the river by building a permanent dam across it, behind which the material-is to be stored,and this reservoir has a capacity of 100,000 cubic yards. Before the mine is exit is filled with material from other sources which wonld have pussed on down the river if the dam had not hausted, or by the time the miner has mined out say 50,000 cubic yards the reservoir is filled. It must be evident THE OTHER SIDE. . Long does not agree in his ‘views of this matter with many other eminent attorneys, such as. Hon. Jo Campbell, Hon. J. H. Budd of Stockton, Judge David Terry and Hon. The unthinking are prone to make game of nervousness. Yet this is a very real and serious affliction, the harassing. symptoms of which are rendered all the more poignant by The stomach is usually responsible for these symptoms—its weakness and disorder find a reflex in the brain, which is the headquarters of the nervous system.

The Transcript has in its possession at this writing a large number of letters from Sheriffs of various counties who have been communicated with on this subject, and the following extract from some of them show that Mr. Lord and the attorneys under whose advice he has acted are not alone in disagreeing with ex-District Attorney Long and the Grand Jury which under Long’s advice recommended the Supervisors to bring suit against Sheriff Lord: W. P. Harkly, Sheriff and Tax Collector of Sntter county, writes: ‘I do not, for outside work, turn the fees into the county treasury.” 8. A. McDowell, Sheriff of San Diego county, writes: “I do not pay into the county treasury fees received for services from outside courts.” John A. Cole, Sheriff of San Bervardino county, writes: ‘I retain all fees for services done outside my county. I took legal advice on the subject from Hon. H. M. Willis, now Superior Judge~ of San Bertardino county, and his advice was that I am entitled to keep the fees for all work done for other counties or States.’ Sam E. Inlow when Sheriff of Yuba county, and shortly before the expiration of his term wrote: ‘‘I do not pay into the county treasury fees collected for outside business.” John H. Givens, Sheriff of Merced county, writes as follows: ‘Until quite recently I paid all fees, etc., from every source into the county treasury, but Mr. Breckenridge, DistrictAttorney of Merced county, advised me that I am entitled to retain all fees for services rendered to any court outside of this county.” Dallas McCord, Sheriff of Kern county, writes: ‘‘I retain all fees for outside business, doing so by advice of our District Attorney and other prominent lawyers.” The Sheriffs of the State have taken steps to have this question thoroughly tested and definitely settled by the highest courts. Sheriff Lord, unlike the most of them, has not retained all the fees from outside business, but simply sufficient of the amount to pay the expenses of transacting such business. Mr. Lord and the others hold themselves in’ readiness to repay the amounts they have rd provided the test case goes against arrested it. Thén if the miner places the remaining 60,000 cubic yards in his mine in the river and it passes on down, no more material has passed than if one dam had heen erected, and it has fully answered the purpose for which it was built. Therefore it follows that the dam—like the Bear river dam—is a sticcess for it impounds and arrests material toits capacity, which would otherwise have passed on into the valley, and any. sensible person. must know that one downflow of the vast quantity of material now in the rivers can only be arrested by dams acro3s the rivers, also that if such steuctures will arrest the downflow of debris in the rivers-and keep it there, similar structures will also arrest any new material which might be deposit‘ed in these rivers from any source.
