Take Your Chances.


portion OF the leading citizens Of Auburn
held an impromptu meeting at the Court
House 10 take into consideration the necessity
Of preparing, or erecting pest house IN
view Of the iminept danger of the small pox
breaking out in our midst. After consulta'
ton, and discussion, the meeting unanimous
ly agreed that measures should at once be
taken to provide against the introduction or
spread Of the disease in our little defenceless
community, and to that end appointed a
Health Committee, and Finance Committee,
and adjourned to meet at the call OF the
officers of the meeting. So far, so good.
The Health Committee reconnoitered she
suburbs Of the town for distance OF two
miles in each direction, but could find no
building suitable for the purpose which could
be had at a reasonable figure. The men,
bers of thscommi.tee then turned their atten'
ton to the selection Of a site, and the sscur-
ing OF 40 estimate of the cost Of erecting a
building. which they accomplished, and at
their request a meeting was called, and held
on Monday svaniug last,to hear and consider
their report. The report showed that a
building twenty by thir:y.two feet could be
erected at cost Of about $500, and that to
complete it and furnish it with stoves, tables,
chairs, cooking utensils, etc., about $500
more. The meeting approved the report, and
authorized the committee to proceed with
the erection and fitting up of the building,
on beirg advised by the Finance Committee
that the necessary funds could be raised.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at the
call of the officers.
We learn that the Finance Committee pro.
ceedsd on Tuesday morning to see if the
necessary funds could be raised, but were
met with so many objections, doubts about
the necessity Of the outlay, and general
disnclinaton to respond, 10 sums sufficient
10 meet the object sought to be accomplished
by those who were equally, if not more inter-
cotoU luou tuo CouLIlVtCc, WV WoAO WV
for nothing that they become dishesrtened
and abandoned all further efforts. This is a
brief statement of what has been done in the
premises. We thought, and still think, that
those who were active in this movement were
pursuing the path of wisdom; and might, If
properly seconded by our people, have saved
this community from the dire scourge of
small pox epidemic. 1t is true, we may not
have the small pox here, but if we do, what
then' We know how poorly this community
is prepared for the advent Of this terrible,
loathesome and fatal disease, and how emf
usut are our chances Of being visited by it
at any day or hour. We shall not mock at
your calamities, or laugh when your fear
cometh," though you may have treated with
Indifference the exertons of the committee
who were aboring, as we believe, for the pub
lie good. We have done our dny, and SO have
the committees, and with this we are con
tent. Nothing could be done except by the
voluntary act of our citizens, and as they
have concluded TO take the chances, 80 mote
it be.

TuRKEys. TuRxrys.-Ou Thursday las

TURKEYS, TuRKEYs.- On Thursday last
the town was crowded with poultry and
market wagons, most Of them loaded with
turkeys. The supply exceeded the demand
and the prices receded very rapidly towards
evening. Fine At turkeys sold all the way
from one dollar to one seventy five each. A,
this rate turkey is fully oue-thrd cheaper
than beef, and If our Auburn folks don't fare
sumptuously throughout the holidays it will
be their own fault.

who is now visiting ths principle points in
the State, in behalf Of this new Journal
which is to make its appearance with the

AN Auburn PIONEER GoNE-Major Bailey,
an early resident, and member OF bus.
ness firm here in lS49, died Of apoplexy, 10
San Francisco, on last Sunday evening, at
the Isthmus House, No. 81 First street. The
Major left Auburn sometime in 1850, and
retur ed TO Philadelphia, where be bad been
residing before coming TO California, and
purchased a stock Of Jewelry, and returned
with bis goods, and landed 10 San Francisco
just before the great fire Of May, 1851, in
which bis entire stock, and everything be

wards secured another stock Of jewelry, and
opened business in San Francisco, where be
remained with various success and mistor'
tune until he died 10 poverty. The few of
the Majors acquaiptances, still residing here
not to exceed eight or ten, will regret to
learn of his sudden decease, and the pecuni
ary, and other melancholy circumstances
attending it. We we're merchandising within
two doors of the Majors establishment, here,
in ls49, and always found him prompt, hon.
est, and energetic in all bis dealings, and
agreeable ip all the amen tiles Of life. He
was 40 years old, a native Of Poughkeepse,

Francois Xavier Aubrey was young
Canadian Frenchman, we'll known in the
Santa Fe trade.
Is. In the great Santa Fe trade of twenty
years ago two trains each year was the
limit of each merchant. 1t was Aubrey
who first ran three trains year. In Sep
TENDER 1913, the supplies of the New
Mexico market in the line of groceries had
diminished to very great extent; and it
was feared that suffering would result be-
fore the arrival Of the early trains of 1919,
if none should reach that Fall before the
terrific storms of Winter on the plains
On the 18th of September Aubrey left
Santa Fe for the purpose of starting his
own trains at the river with requisite sup
plies He left on horseback on the 18th
and was lifted out of his saddle at hide
pendence, Missouri, on the l1th-having
made the journey of eight hundred and
ten miles within five days and sixteen
hours between point and point, aud four
days and twelve hours travelling time. No
riding the circuit of race tracks upon re-
lays or racehorses can compare with this
two hundred miles day From the lips
of Aubrey we gained these figures of his
famous ride, which are in every point re-
liable and have never been questioned.
He rode at the rate of two hundred and
fifty miles in twenty-four hours, and upon
his favorite mare he rode two hundred
miles in twenty-six hours. The first
seventy miles is mountainous, and then was
road 50 rough that the cattle of trains
which came across the plains and over the
desert of the Cimerron, died all along the
end of their journey from the exhausting
pulls over the mountains of Santa Fc. Six
hundred miles were made through mud,
and twenty-four consecutive hours it rain
ed upon him. He walked twenty-four
miles carrying his saddle. lie ate six
meals, slept two hours, ten minutes, and
lost 321 pounds of flesh. He killed six
horses and broke down six. There were
delays with parties of troops ON the road,
and the time consumed'was not specified
Over the plains with no habitations for
hundreds OF miles, he rode $40 miles IN
four days and twelve hours The wonder
full endurance of this man had been tried
before, and it is just to say that he had
often made 200 miles day before this
feat.
