The Bitter BIr.-While Tehama has been ma
turing plans for acquiring her neighbours terri
tory, one of her neighbors, Butte has succeeded
IN getting bill through the Senate, and will
probably get it through the Assembly, (which
provides for removal of her northern boundary
line to Rock Creek-thus giving her large
slice from the territory of Tehama.
Butte is already very large and very wealthy
county, and her action in this matter is indeed
most discreditable The tract of land which she
will acquire by the bill, if it becomes law, was
taken from her and given to Tehaua only last
winter, and in the teeth Of tremendous influ-
snce then brought to bear in opposition to the
movement. We regret that she is now about to
succeed in taking from Tehama slip of terri
tory which, while it is Of SO much Importance
to Tehama, is of but comparatively inconsider-
able moment to herself.
