CALIFORNIA MEETING.


At meeting of California company conven-
ed at the Court House, in Burlington, Feb Sd,
1919, Francis ]. c. PEAsLEY. was called to the
chair, aud Geo. w. Kelley, appointed Secretary
On motion of G. Hall, a Committee of six
were appointed to draft and submit to the COM
pany, such recommendations as were thought
proper for the action of the meeting; where
upon Messrs. C. Hall, Geo. w. Bowie, John S.
David Jas. Nickel, Oliver Cottle and Jacob
Arrick We're appointed said committee. The
committee withdrew, and after some time return
ed and by their chairman, Mr.. Hall, submitted
the following recommendations, which We're on
motion adopted. - tt 49,.
It's recommended by your committee that
persons going to California, by the overland
route, should provide themselves with good
light wagon, with tight bed, capable of
transporting 2,5CO pounds, (and this is deemed
the heaviest load that any one wagon should
carry;) and that four good yoke Of oxen, not
over eight years old, should be attached to each
wagon, and that not less than three, nor more
than four individuals should accompany each.
That each individual should provide himself
with good rifle Of large bore; an axe, Ratchet
and hunting knife; FIVE pounds of powder, ten
pounds of lead, and fifteen hundred percussion
caps. A pair of good belt pistols will be found
convenient, as well as good supply Of fishing
tackle.
Each person should be provided with spade,
pick, and mining shovel, and the necessary
clothing, bedding, and cooking utensils.
Tents should be provided capable of accom-
modating the party; they can be made Of un-
bleached muslin or sail cloth. A common tent,
having simply roof with gable ends, supported
by a ridge pole and two uprights, and held at
the bottom by pins driven into the ground, will
be found the most convenient for prairie use, as
they are lighter, more easily pitched, and are
less liable to be blown down by the heavy winds,
and are also much cheaper than the wall tent.
With three men to wagon the load should

License LAw.-We have not seen the new law
passed late legislature but learn that the for
mer law has been so far changed as to give up the
question Of granting licenses to sell intoxicating IL
quors into the hands Of the County Commissioners
of the several counties. This we slider improv-
ing backwards, Notwithstanding the penalty of an
increased fnc and Imprisonment has been added.
The influence OF the Temperance organization in
State is sufficient, il it properly applied to
regulate this business. The Sons and Daughters Of
Temperance will never achieve decisive victory
until the laws which tolerate the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors are entirely abrogated. They must be
abrogated through their fundamentally. public
sentiment must be created by their showing that it
isust detrimental to morals grog shops
as it would be to license murder and robbery. The
time will come when there will be such public
sentiment. Let the various Divisions take up this
subject and discuss il, and their sibility will
appear obyious., They will see that the grog shop
is the primary school for all species Of wckedness
and that the Love, Purity and Fidelity OF people
can alone be fully secured by their entire abrogation
and removal.

In an article in yesterdays Gazette there are ma
ny most laudato:ythings said Of that world-renown

Gle is written in reference to the return to the Sem
ate fMessrs Clay and cass; and while the editor
devotes but short paragraph to Mr. Cass, the re-
mainder, or nearly three times much, is taken up
in commendatory notice of Mr. Clay! What he
says about Mr. Clay is all true. That we never
doubted. But that HE, who above many others, has
fostercd the narrow LEGO foco prejudces against
Mr. c., the cherishng of which, more than any thing
else, secured his defeat while candidate for the

exclaim, is it Possible? Who ever would have

A writer in the Davenport Gazette in
speaking Of the doings Of the late Legi,la-

"Mr Speaker Bonha,n left the Chair and
took the floor to announce 'to Wings and
tWhiggery that the Democratic party held
themselves responsible for each and eve

minority on that floor TO, understand dis
tinctiy that this is Democratic Legis la
ture, and the interference Of Wing mem
bers in matters concerning the policy to
be carried out, was unsolicited and uncall-
ed for, and he trusted in future the mino-
rity would SO understand it, and make
themselves less officious." Mr.Speaker
Bonham was always nervous when any
thing was said about adjournment, this was
perfectly natural, for be it known he was
receiving Sd per day while the other mem
hers only received So" a.

citizen should cooperate with the City Council, in
carrying out the requirements Of the new ordi-
nance, which may be found below. -
There is so much jealousy existing between Illi-
nss and Missouri, to create the fear that the Lee
gslature of Illinois will refuse to grant the right of
way through that State, for the contemplated rail
road between Cincinnati and st Louis. Illinois has
much to complain of, but think such kind of re-
talation as is contemplated would be wrong.
THE PLANK ROAD citizen who
feels at all interested in the growth Of this city
should attend the meeting Friday night. at O. L.
Palmer's School Room, on Main street. The room
Is over Luke Palmer's Store.

ESsIcniso BrRIiNeToH.-Ever since the 26th OF
December many OF our citizens have been engaged
infcutting and hauling wood from the Mississippi
Bottom Opposite this place. Those who have thus
been engaged with their teams would have hardly
earned more than two hundred dollars, for the time
they have thus been engaged, owing to the dizziness
Of business at this season orthe year. At least two
thousand cords Of wood have been brought over the
ice to this town. At two dollars cord, the town
has been enriched just $4,000. Desioes, many of
those who have brought this wood here an plaster
ers, masons, &C., whose business gives them no
employment in winter. It has kept them at work
and win prove to them clear gain. The result il
gratifying in whatever aspect it is viewed.
