THE great overland route will be in ope-
4 ration in about two weeks. We mean the Sacra-
mento and Portland stage line. A few days ago
eighty horses and halfa-dozen coaches passed
up, with which the route between jacksonville
and The Columbia will be equipped. 1t is an ex-
pensive and ventursome enterprise, and one
which we hope the people Of Oregon will feel it
their duty to support. Five years ago we made
the trip from the Cascades 10 the Trinity and
then we could not have been easily persuaded
that stages would be traversing the route in five
years. The Calopooa range, Grave Creek hills,
Siskyou and Scott mountaine inlerposed serious
obstacles to such an enterprise. all of which have
bnnn n O 1rdr residents
of that State detail the particulars OF the trip of
the first emigration of fifty wagons which left
Oregon City for California in 1913, on the first
announcement Of the gold discoveries here. Then
the journey occupied nearly two months; soon
twill be made in comfortable coaches in less
than week.
Our AGl1x.-A. C. Lawrence, Esd, late
Representative from Trinity, has written letter
sgnifying his intention to support the regular
ticket for the Presidency, and is ont again for the
Assembly. He will be triumphantiy elected. as

when that paragraph was penued, that the Doug

the 3Oth, and that the claims of Mr.. Lawrence
upon them as the regular Democracy was rcpudi.
ated, totally. Mr.. Lawrence in his late letter
may account for his not being chosen. 1t is not
entirely certain, moreover, that Trinity is
Douglas county.
-IF there is any truth in the statements
made by eastern journals, new line of steamers
will soon be in operation between New York and
California. The transit, they say, is to be made
over the Tehuan.epec route, and that steamers
will be ready TO take the route by the first OF
October. 1t remains to be seen whether the pro-
Jcctors will make it worthy OF patronage. We
fear that it will be failure several Of the Old
o." floating coffns'' are mentioned in connection
with the new line. 1t wonld be glorious to see
some emigration scheme concoctcd by which the
willy old ferryman, Vanderbilt, would be out-
wtted
-THE school has commenced again The
school house is now what it should be, and the
children are well accommodated. The higher
branches of the school are taught by Mr.. r.
Oesty, of whose proficiency as teacher parents
and scholars speak in the most laudatory terms.
Miss Maggie Ruch has charge of the juvenile de-
partment, in room separate from the advanced
scholars, where they will be better cared for, and
have better facilities for study and recitation
than was possible when occupying the same room
with grown-up pupils
AS matter of interest to Californans we
give the following paragraph, taken from New
York paper
Pacific Mail and Panama Railroad stocks de-
clined three or four per cent. in this city, the
9th of August, caused by street rumOrs about
Marshal O. Roberts and his line. One story was
that the Tehuantcpcc route was to be opened at
once, and that steamers were building for the
service and another was that the Nicaragua
route was to be re-established.
A
Committee was called for Friday, the 3lst. The
Republican vote of this county will astonsh
some when the returns come in. In almost every
precinct they are organizing, and persons who
have opportunity of judging predict that the vote
Will reach eight hundred. We go to press to
early to give their proceedings.
THE Secretary of the Humboldt and Trim
ity Plank and Turnpike Road advertses to day
for sealed proposals for building that portion of
the road between North Fork and Big Flat. Per-
sons desrous of laboring have an opportunity to

the road is being vigorously prosecuted.

has been completed with Stark by which he is to
give series of theatrical performances in Sacra-
mento, Marysville and Stockton. during the an
proaching agricultural fairs to be held at those
places
-THE Douglas supporters of Weaverviile
township had meeting at the head of Main
street last Saturday night. Judge Ptzer and e.
Garter, Esq, addressed the meeting A desire to
state facts compels us to say that it was not as
largely attended or enthusiastic as some political
gatherings we have witnessed
-THE Humboldt Times has entered its sew
enh volume. The Times is an excellent news
paper now, Notwithstanding its facilities for being
such are not half so good as many Others of less
merit. May its subscription list increase, and its
years multiply.
