In an item published last week, we stated that
MarysvilIe teams had been a month making the
round trip from that city to Quincy and Taylor
and back. We supposed that these teams belonged
to the Teamsters' Association at Marysville. but
the President of that association informs the ip-
peal that they do not, and 50 We make the correc-
ton. They were teams from MarysviIle simply
The President of that Association, J. TOMB. ESQ
also informs the appeal that the teams of the
Association cannot run from Oroyile on account of
the bad state of the roads-especally the bridges
If Mr.. ToxB so informed the -dppeal upon informa-
tion he has been misinformed; be so stated upon
his own know ledge. be must have known tha. he
was giving curreney to a SANDER in obedience to
local jealousy that should be beneath the dignity
and honorable bearing of business man. Two,
four six eight and ten male teams leave Orovine
daily for La Porte, Quincy. Taylorville, Susanvle
and Chico. OF course the teams of the Marysville
Association can run to and from what points they
please; bat when they report that they cannot
run from OroviIle of the bad of the
roads and bridges, they simply report what is not
true. We state the case plainly because Marysvile
has no just cause to speak falsely OF her neghbor
and her neighbor is not disposed to tolerate
any such conduct on her part. The Association
propose to run their wagons from Marysville to La
Porte. In doing this, they strike the Oroville and
La Porte road some twenty miles from Oroville.-
We suppose that is far enough away from Oroville
to enable them to find good bridges How absurd,
To this false and nonsenscal stuff the appeal pi-
ously adds 1--WE would not lay straw in the
way of the prosperity of Oroville or the Oroville
rnstr
foothills prosper. But if Orovie suffers through
through the Teamsters' Association her citizens
must charge it to their Indifference about roads,
We dare say Oroville will not suffer- materially If
Marysvie and her Team.ters' Association succeed
in stopping all the freight at that point and dev
ering from there cheaper than it can be done by
railroad. If they can do this, it will benefit the
whole northern country, including Orovile Sail
in. You do it, if you only think so. If you
will deliver freight in Oroville cheaper than the
railroad, you shall have the entire business to do
Bring on your teams. Business men of Butte, Plu-
mas and the northern counties generally, do not
consider that they suffer much when they enjoy
cheap freights. II requires the ignorance, selfish
ness and boorishness of Marvsville to form such
conclusion from the reception of cheap freights.-
1t is peculiarly Marysville plank in business
omy, without which that city would not, pr obably,
have been completed years ago. We built the rail-
road in order that might have the benefit of cheap
fire. light. We want cheaper rates still if get
them. If the Teamsters' Association can furnish
the northern country cheaper than the railroad, we
don't think business men of the north will suffer
much in consequence of their doing so. No one
but an ass would suppose so. But stop phibbing
about your neighbors. The road from Oroville to
the Woodvie House is in better condition than the
road from Marysvile TO the Woodville House.
small four mule team, belonging to Mr.. GAsKILL,
has repeatedly hauled 5000 and 900 pounds at
load it. That is more than any four mule team
belonging to the Association haul at a single
load the road frcm Marysville to the Woodville
House. If they can, let them stop phib5ing about
their neighbors long enough to try it. Perhaps
they can make little omething if they can ac-
complish the feat. That will test it. Come to the
centre, Mr.. ToMB.
