Mr. EDITOR IL Was much amused with q
communication from Sacramento, purporting
to have been written BY "phunny fellow"
who signs his name @Joskins" Now, this
veracious scribbler writes very good letters,
lacking, as l believe, truth. As a sample
of our friends obliquity of facts, viii quote
portion of his letter TO the Marysvipe Appeal
of JAN 18th; then give you correct data.
hoping thus to partially restore the gentlemans s
unfortunate visual faculties to healthful action.
"Joskins" was apparently looking at counties,
and, wishing to increase their number, first cast
his eyes, one at time, on Sonoma; there
appeared to bis vision line segregatiDg the
populous and wealthy portion of that county
from the balance, because, forsooth, says
"Joskins" all the wealthy farmers Of Sonoma
county, during the last war, we're antagonistic
to the government. Now, so far as Sonoma
is concerned, am willing that her own citizens
should defend her from "Joskins' accusations
However, l viii observe that 10 one can
believe that all the wealthy farmers of that
rich county are or we're secessionists; and, as
it respects bis assertions in reference to Butte,
that matter is easily settled. Our donbly
oblique visioned friend says: "ln the Butte
case, the desire for divorce is one of financial
and commercial nature" and that "the several
townships about Chico, and deriving supplies
from it, pay three 6fths of the taxes of the
county" and that "Chico merchants sell three
dollars worth of goods where those of Orovlle
sell one" Now, l will, in answer to all this,
state the facts from correct data Chico has,
including the Touring mill, wholesale estab
lishments, which pay TO the government licenses
(the same being graded and paid in proportion
to the business amounting 10 the aggregate to
$3.50. Number OF retail dealers, .l3; and
of retail liquor dealers, Is. Oroville has
wholesale stores aggregate license tax, Sab
The number of retail dealers is As, and of retail
liquor dealers 80. Thus showing nearly two
hundred thousand dollars more of wholesale
business per year in favor of Oroyille, and
thlrty-two retail dealers, also, 10 excess Of
Chico; to which must be added an excess of
fifteen retail liquor establishments thus showing
more than twice the business of Chico at
Orovlle Comment is needless. P. Il.
