FARMING LANDs.-Some of the finest farming
lands on the Pacific coast is embraced in the valley
portions of Butte county comprised of Chico and
Hamilton Townships. Beautiful homes and sub
urban villages are springing up all over those
townships, and the development of the rich mineral
districts to the east Of us, and the direction far
as practicable of the trade of those sections thro
the county, must soon bring market for the pro-
ductons of its generous soil to the doors of every
hamlet within our boundaries. There is no more
beautiful or productive section of country in the
famed wide west, to which the star empire took its
way, than is embraced in the section of country
watered by the pure and unfailing streams of Big
and Little Butte Greeks, and streams of Chico.
The absence of a market for the productions of the
soil, is all that has tended to retard their rapid ad-
vance i'll population and material prosperity. That
desideratum is within the reach of the people
OF Butte county, if we but make united and de-
termned effort to secure it. The completion of a
continuous line Of railroad from Oroville to tide
water, is no longer a speculation of visionary the
orists, but fact fully fixed and determined upon
and must bring to the doors of our farmers mar
ket that must prove remunerative and greatly en-
hance the value of every species of property. The
continuance of the railroad on to Oregon is only
question of time, and the greatest advantages to
be gained for our business interests is while its ter
minus remains in the county. The connection be-
tween Marysvlle and Lincoln will be made during
the coming summer, and we must be prepared to
avail ourselves of the increased facilities for busi-
ness that its completion will ensure.

FREIGHT TO HUMBoLDT.-Spence & Bro, mer-
chants at Humboldt, Nevada, despatched three
teams loaded with freight for the Humboldt coun-
try on Thursday last. They have at the Depot in
Oroville sufficient goods to freight another team
which will be started IN a day or two. Their ship
ment from San Francisco amounted to ten tons.
various routes through the mountains and have
come back to the Susanville and Oroville route as
preferable to all Others especially for early ship
ments over the mountains. The fact that we have
the shortest and best route through the mountains
to Black Rock, Humboldt, and Owyhee, and that
freight can be laid down here ehaper than it can
at any other point where land carriage begins. is
being demonstrated by every days experience.
and those interested in economical and easy ship
ments over the mountains will not be much longer
deceived by those interested in securing travel nd
freight on the more expensive and indirect routes.
1t is only necessary for association of teamsters
to be formed who will contract fo- the delivery of
freight over the mountains to secure the great bulk
of the trade. before other routes are released from
the belts of snow which forbid their passage. The
line of stages now running from Oroyiile to Black
Rock, would soon be compelled to run daily to ac-
commodate the travel, which would come through
California, instead of be ing compelled to make the
cireuitous and expensive route tn rogh Oregon.

FoR BLACK Rock DIR. S. Kisfy, Surgeon in the
L. S. Army, is now in Oroville, on his way
to join the troops in the Black Rock
country. Owing to the vociferous howlings
and misrepres entations of those interested in GER
tain wildcat, newspaporial, and mythical routes
to this rich mining section, the Doctor has been
rustcating up country week or two, whittier he
had gone with the expectation of finding con-
veyance to carry him to his destination. Balt
more and New York not being prepared to send
the Doctor through 10 Black Rock, he sensbly
sought the assistance of Oroville, will take one
of Allen J. Woods regular Z. S. Mail coaches,
and go on his way rejoicing, over a practical
route to the scene of his duties. Mr.. Wood has
continued his line over the route from Oroyille to
Susanville, with the exception of a trip two du-
ring the entire winter, thus proving the entire
pmcticsbility and economy of the Oroville route,
while those routes TO the north of us have been
abandoned as impracticable during the winter
months. Deception in such cases is not the way
10 bring localities and routes to the favorable no.
tice of travellers and shippers of freight. Nor
would We say ought unjust against rival routes,
while condemning deception that is calculated TO
bring whatever advantages Butte county may pos
seSs into contempt of the travelling public. The
route for the delivery of freight and passengers
from the commercial metropolis of the Pacific TO
Black Rock. and thence to Idaho and Montana is
through Sacramento Marysville and Oroville, and
the less deception practised resulting in the turn
ing Of freight and passengers back from outof-the
way and impractcable points, the better viii 1t be
for the general well all the local Interests Of
the county. Ii is too great business interest TO
be thrown away from the county by any petty
jealousy and those standing in the way Of securing
ii for any such reason, should be brushed aside by
the practical business sense of the county, as
plots and human gad-hies on the path of progress.
