RAILROAD MATTERS.

Interested parties in Marysyille and Col
lusa are advocating the construction OF di
rect line of railway to connect these two
points, which are separated by distance of
about thirty miles. That such road would
greatly benefit Marysville is very apparent,
but to our view Colusa can make more ad-
vantageous application of her means in an
another direction. Now the fact must be
evident to ALL that the productions of Colusa
and the counties situated above her on the
Sacramento, are of such character as to find
their natural market at the Bay. To reach
that market then, by the quickest and most
direct route should certainly be the object for
which Colusa and her similarly situated sis
ter counties ought to strive. And, after an
examination off the railroad situation, it occurs
to us that Colusa could best promote her in
terests by securing a direct line of transpor-
tation to tide-water, an enterprise which she
could accomplish by assisting to build rail-
way from the town of Colusa to Davisville and
there connecting with the Vallejo road
By that means Colusa could not only place
herself in communication with the Bay, but
also secure railroad connection with Marys.
vile by way of the Davisville extension.
We also believe that if such connection
was formed between Vallejo and Colusa,
means and inducements would not be want
ing to secure the extension of the road to
the town of Shasta. Such an enterprise is
feasible, and we hope the people of Colusa,
Tehama and Shasta will give the matter ear
nest consideration,
