profits Of the lumber to be sold to the

In other words---the profit, made from
the Plankroad Company, will, to the
Grass Valley subscriber, be the amount

1t is said that Sacramento will be

to recuperate her present exhausted
condition. Sincerely do we hope that
she may recuperate. Her losses have

as Sacramento to build one next year.

nearly four times as large as that Of
last year-.;and he can draw his own
inference as to our capabilities.
Although Marysville is not indiffer-
ent to the trade of Nevada county. yet
she has, without that trade, attained
her present position. That trade is
just as sure to come through Marys-
ville-if not this year, at most the
next-as water is sure to seek its level.
A plankroad will be built frem Marys-
vile to Nevada-bst, not By sOords.
When equitable laws, which will not
frighten capitalists, control our inter-
nal improvements and when bona fde
subscriptions shall be made by earnest
and energetic men, then the road will
be built rs1
We will venture the prediction, that
while Nevada and Grass Valley are
amusing themselves in charging Ma
rysyille with 6labing, Marysvllle will
60 to work, on her own hook, survey
the route of the road and build it, and
the first the eastern terminus will know
about it, will be to find it finished and
in active operation. 5r
