The BANGOR AFFAIR.-Ths Marysville

The BANGOR AFrAIR.-The Marysvllle
Express comes out with long article upon
this subject, and denies, aPon authority
that the three men, Johnson, Lake ana
Ringgod, were made drunk' before beng
executed. For our part, We see no necessity
in DENYING n matter that has never been as
serted The information that the three
men above named drank about pint OF
brandy each, came to US indirectly from
Chas. Jones, the one who was spared, who
related that part of the story to Sheriff
Freer and District Attorney kleine' while

Surveying Roads.

surveying Hoouss
Events have transpired in such rapid sue
cession during the week, that we have not
found time to refer to the imposition practis-
ed upou the county, and in opposition TO the
interests of Oroville, particularly, in the
matter Of road surveys between this point
and Jack's Ranch These surveys were
made under the direction of Judge Lewis at
the time the County seat question was in
agitation, and were designed to convince the
voting public of Butte county that Bidwcll
was the only accessible point in the county,
and that it was impossible to make a road to
any other place We have letter from
Judge Lewis, written at Sacramento, during
TIE session of 1886, while lie was at the
State Capitol, lobbying a bill through the
Legislature authorizing our Board Of Su-
pervisors to pay him fifty thousand dollars
for his Bridge, urging these surveys and
pointing out the manner in which the routes
should be run. We may conclude to pub
lish it at some future time.
The road to the junction as surveyed un-
der the above mentioned direction, runs
south from Orovlle to Lynchburg, thence
east to the Miners Ranch, and from thence
in a northwcsterly direction to the Junction.
This survey was introduced before the Board
of Supervisors, as evidence to show that
it was higher to Jacks Ranch, via Bdwell,
than by the Junction, to defeat the arpica
tion for a ferry at the latter place. 1t was
defeated, but whether it was done by the
powerful influence of the rams horn route,
or by the insutflciency Of testimony on the
part of the application, we know not. We
do not suppose the Board of Supervisors
were bought, because we know that one of
them respectfully declined Judge Lewis
offer to furnish him with money to make the
canvass
We have felt deep interest in this mat
ter. for the reason that road to the June
ton would permit the immense trade of
Plumas to pass through Orovile. If we
continue to send that travel and trade
around by the Miners Ranch, we ca2not
expect them to ship their goods here, for
that point is within twenty-four miles of
Marysville, and with the means at the
command of that city, they ean always Sc
cure this vast trade, whatever our facilities
for transportation may be. We desire tina;
this trade may pass through Oroville, and il
they coul d find it to their advantage to ship
their goods to this point or to make their
purchases here, it would add materially to
our commercial Importance. If not they cod
pass to any point below by more direct
and better route than that now travelled.
These are the motives that have actuatcd US,
and we are still strong in the faith that the
ferry will be established, and that we shall
yet have the privilege of seeing the wagons
and pack trains of Pumas loading in our
streets. The course now pursued by our
county authorities upon this question, is
wrong, and will meet with speedy CON
demnation Their sacrifice of the public
interest to that of individuals, places the in
habitants Of the valley portion Of the county
in the position Of Russian serts, instead OF
that of American citizens.
