From the Yreka Journal. ]

Parties in Marysville and Susanville
seem to be making the establishment of
the Shasta Land Office "a matter of section
al jealousy. MarysvilIe has lottery for
raising funds to improve its public square,
and now wants the entire land business
of Northern California also, to keep up
that village, no matter whether the people
most interested object to going so far on
land business. Susanville s.away off to
one side of the State, almost in Nevada,
and the establish ment of land office there
would simply be to solely favor Susanvilie.
We have no preference for any particular
place, but we must say Shasta is decidedly
the most central point for any portion of
Siskiyou county The central and eastern
portion can easily reach Shasta through
Big Valley and Pit river Valley, and the
people of Western Siskiyou, Trinity aud
Shasta. have to go through Shasta in go
ing to Marysv,lle There is not partit lie
more trouble to come to Yreka, or to get
to Shasta in winter, from any part of Sis
kiynu, than it is to go to any other place,
and reka though located near the 0e
Susanville is for land Office. We have
been incommoded greatly by portion of
the county land being registered at the
Humboldt land office, which pace is more
difficult to reach in winter or summer than
any other place, as there is only a semi
weekly mail, and the best and quickest
way to reach it is via. San Francisco and
up the coast by steamship; but the state
ment of the Susanville correspondent of
the Alta about the country in Siskiyou,
west Of the Sierras, being SO exceedingly
mountainous, aud that three -fourths of the
agricultural and grazing lands lie east of
the Sieiras, is ridiculous, and shows that
the correspondent evidently desires berth
in new land Office, to be created at Sus-
awhile in consideration of using his iuflu-
ence by Misrepresentation, to force the
people of Siskiyou, Shasta and Trinity, to
travail more than double the distance 10
having the land Office for Northern Califor-
MIA at Marysville. As many miners will
undoubtedly apply for mineral land pat
tents, it is hi hly essential if the greatest
number are to be accommodated, that
Shasta be made the land Office for Northern
California, and if our representatives do
Justice. they will oppose any effort to abol-
ish the Shasta land Office. If they do
determine to abolish the Shasta Office,
they might as well abolish both the Mary.

can Just as we'll go to San Francisco, as to
any of the other places below Shasta from

rHE car our or THE B1G.

The Weaverville Press recently remark
ed as follows in relation to the Land Office
at this place: M s.
The San francisco Alta having made
some iljudged remarks relative to the loca-
ton of the new Land Office at Shasta, the
Shasta Courier at some length refutes the
Atlas statements. The Courier says that
nine-tenths of the people of Si>kiyou and
sTrini1V counties approve the locati,n. As
far as Trinity is concerned, we believe the
Courier is correct.
