SHASTA AND YREKA TrRsPrKE.-Our readers
will perceive by reference to an advertisement
in another portion Of this paper. that q number
of gentlemen of Siskiyou have made declaration
Of an intention to take the necessary steps. on
the Sd ofJanuary proximo, in the town of yreka.
TO effect the organization Of Joint Stock Com
pany, for the construction of turnpike road
from this place to Yreka. They propose to build
the road ria the Sacramento river and Hnckle-
berry Swamp. This, we believe, is the old
Sacramento trail. at one time preferred by pack
ers to the Trinity River and Scott Mountain
trail, but for the past two years entirely aban-
doned because Of the hostility Of tie Pitt River
Indians
II is believed by the gentlemen who propose
engaging in this work. that the Sacramento trail
offers fewer aud less serious distinctions to the
construction of a turnpike road. than the route
now nsed. Of this however. in the absence Of
any surveys. there is much rooHl for donbf.
Many gentlemen entertain the opinion that a
! road may be built over the Tripity and Scott
Mountain trail. at considerable less expenditure
of money than will be required in the constrnc-
ton Of the contemplated road ria the Sacrament
| 10 river and Huckleberry Swamp. Let that be
as it may. however. it is matter that shonll
certainly attract the attention Of those persons
now living and owning valuable property Oh the
trail over which the Northern travel now passes.
II that travel should be diverted to another
ronte their possessions must Of necessity depre-
ciate in valne We are also convinced that il
he road is hronglf over the route proposed. it
will be to the serions detriment of this place.
Our citizens should therefore at once give their
attention to this matter.
