Ma EpIroR - The circulation throuoh
Al. county Of your issue of July 30th. con
aiming a leader devoted to your Railroad
"a Wagon Road Appropriation Bill. has Al
...dy awakened much discussion. At first
II, mater was not very we'll understood by
-.py, and they were inclined TO favor anv.
thing to secure to the people Of his county
u, most eligible and direct road to your
..upty seat but when it became gener.
| ,ty known that The anpropi ia,ions were
,,ly 10 be made on certain and specific
,..d.. as set forth in the bill; and that, too.
I for the benr6t of shsrpers who had long
hing like leeches upon your public treasu-
~, quite different feeling was msnifestei.
n, people Of our county are AFRAID Of debt .
and are not inclined to use their influence

,doess which must necessarily, in the end l.,
| /. ruinious TO her.
We would like very much to see free
road from our county seat to yours, The
interests of the counties are one and the
nme. and it is imF ossible to injure one with
cot ipiuring the other more or less. Your
,i,y must in time command the trade Of all
MI, northern section of country. and time
done is necessary to develop it's resources
md secure the same to you But we do not
v,h prosperity at the expense Of an over
,ur rbened and tax ridden people. Ifappro-
,ristions for public Improvements 10 the
Yun,ies of Butte and plumas cannot be had
un,i, the nests Of certain individuals are
s.tbered, l think, for one, that things have
reached = cri.s when our people should
rsu.e for investigation. We certainly have
