army. But while, from these successes of

There is but ore way to prevent these Indian out

THE SHORTEST AND BEST ROAD FOR TRANSFERS
The question of which is the best road is well IL

ed respectively WHITING and CLARK. The latter
loaded at Oroville, and started for Taylorvlle
the 23rd OF May, by the way of Chico. He had not
returned on the 18th of June though in tending to
make the round trip as soon as possible Mr.. WHI
TING started from Oroyille with loaded team for
Taylorville on the 3lst OF May. He went by the
direct route from Orovllle delivered his freight in
prime order, and returned to Orovile in nine and
a-half days. On his return, he met Mr.. CLARK. go
ing into Taylorville with half his load having been
compelled to put off the balance in order to get
along st all. He had then got on to the Oroville
road, and was getting along finely. He intended to
return for the balance of his load, thus making
trips to perform what be might have accomplished
in half the time had be gone the best and most d.
rect road as did Mr.. WHITING. The loads and
teams were equal, but there is one hundred per

EARLY PLUNS have been shipped from MaryS
vile to the San Francisco market where they rea
dily sold at forty cents per pound. We call atten
ton of our gardeners to this fact. When railaoad
connection is completed with :'acramen to. it will
take but sixteen hours to place the finely favored
table fruit produced by the climate and soil of Oro
roville, in the San Francisco market. This will
place Orove in fair competition with ranches i'm
medately surrounding the Bay, and with the deci-
ded advantage of being able to produce ealer and
more finely favored fruit, and in greater abundance
than the localities of the lower vallies which
visited by cold winds and enveloped in fog. In ad-
dition to this, those engaging in such productions
here will have the advantage of mountain market,
which is entirely beyond the reach of the pro-
ducers of the lower vallies. The railroad will be
running through to Sacramento another seaso ;.
to engage in the pleasant and profitable business of
cul;ivating table fruits The locality ommands a
mountain trade unequalled by any other section.
and can place its products in the San Francisco
market in as fresh and good condition as those
who are located around the Bay. There is room for
ten thousand profitable gardens, in the yallies and
foothills surrounding Oroville, and they can have
choice of the best markets in the world. Let those
who would realize profitable business, give this
subject their attention. 1t cannot fail to be most
remunerative for the advantages of communication
that another year must bring 10 Oroye will render
each garden established here worth much a
productive gold mine, and at a uch lighter expen
