county have siguifed their acceptance OF the
recommendation of the Central Committee
of Butte county as to The time and place OF

erates in accordance with that recommend-
alton
The counties Of Tehama and Colusl, are
included in this Judicial District, but have
not vet signhed their assent to the time and
Ilace recommended for holding the Judicial
Convention. The Democracy Of those coun-
ties should remember that the time for the
selection of candidates is rapidly approach
ing, and that their early action in the mat
ter wonld contribute to n vigorous and sue
cessful prosecution Of the canvas. The Ju'
dicial convention for this District in 1884,
was called so late in the Canvass rs TO seri-
ouslv interfere with the distribution of tick

Notes Ofthe Honey Lake Trip.

dun of incidents kept by Mr. Henry b.
Hunt while on the ecent stage coach trip
TO Honey Lake. Owing to our limited space
we are obliged to condense them.
after series of adventures incident upon
starting, the party arrived at "Lovelocks'
at which place they took dinner on
their second day out "Lovelock's' /. de..
crihcd as beautiful place, situated on
level spot in the hills, with fine timber
growing around it and a clear, cool spring
Of water running by the house This Honey
Lake stage was the pioneer in that region as
it was in.every other lucahty above there,
From Love Ock's," they started about An
hour and a half after arriving, and pro-
ceeded with hut little delay to Powell
Carriers house from which locality they pro.
cecded up the Chapperal Hill to the Chap
parel House kept by Messrs Smith s Ball
The distance from Fences TO the Chapparnl
House ,thirty four mIles) and over the most
hilly portion Of the road, was thus easily
accomplished in less than one days travel.
From the Chapparal House the course was
to Humbug Valley, to gain which it is ne
cessnry to cross Butte Creek, down and up
the banks of which they made the rifle
with comparative ease, considering the en-
tirey unimproved state of the road From
hence the way lies in the direction OF Chico
Greek, which after removing one or two
"snags" they passed in safety few miles
further on thev came to a beautiful little
valley some seven miles long and two miles
wide, at the upper end of which, is situated
Watson's ranch About three or four hun
dred yards from the mouse is situated
soda spring. from out of which bubbles most
delicious soda water. The party tied mp
at Watsons during the night.
The next day the party proceeded as far
as ''old man Abbot's" aud "Sam Knights"
in Meadow Valley, mt the upper end OF which
valley they cnmpei. In stream which
runs through u portion of this valley they
caught large quantities of mountain trout
On the next day without much adventure or
difficulty they arrived at and campcd on the
Susan yer, which runs within eight miles
OF Honey Lake Valley. Crossing Susan riv-
er. they rived ut Roop's ranch, in Honey
Lake Valley at o'clock in the morning
The driving time - %. OroUtle to Honey
Lake was just 43 hours.
We have no room for further account of
this interesting trip in to.day's Rrcord, but
shall continue it to, morrow; relating the in
ttrview between the "stage boys and the
Murysvilc commissioner, etc"
