the community in which live. could give
many names of the wealtliest and most
prominent men in this neighborhood, who are
all large land owners, and have it all fenced,
who have been interviewed on this subject
and have expressed themselves unqualiiedly
in favor of no-fencc law. Give us such a
law and in few years there will not be a
more prosperous people in the State than the
farmers Of Western Placer. Take the poor

The Placer herald., 1872-02-10
A NO.FENCE LETTER.
,VVEsTERN PLACER, Jan. 3Oth, Is

,WEsrERN PLACER, Jan. 30th, 1872.
Mr.. EDIToR:-As the question Of fence
or no-fence is now agitating the minds of the
people of this section of the country, as
we'll as the whole State, and knowing that
you are ever ready and willing to discuss any
subject through your columns, especially one
that is Of so vital Importance as this, have
taken the liberty of writing this to give my
opinion as well as that of many of my neigh
bors. In your last issue you have a letter
FROM Lower Placer, in which your cores
pondent states that the fences that inclose
the farms in his portion of the county have
cost five dollars to one Of stock in the same
community. This, you seem to think, is an
error; but when we take into consideration
that TO fence one quarter section Of land
with good, substantial, fve-board fence
costs, at low estimate, 81 ,056. Take the
interest on this amount for ten years at the
ruling rates, and $500 for repairs for that
length of time, and you will find that your
correspondent is but little wrong. The stock
raiser has no such outlay as this to make.
1t will appear at once to all right thinking
men to be as unequal as it is unjust. There
was time when such law would have
been death blow to one of the best inter-
ests of the unty,--when vast herds OF
horses and cattle roamed at will throughout
the hills and valleys; when the brand of
Walkup g. Wyman, Hardy, aud many
others, might be met with at every turn of
the road Gu as many different cattle. But
times have changed, and instead Of the
plains of lower Placer being covered with
~ al. Ill
probability, have, in many cases, been mort
