Others speak less hopefully. For our

one thing we may all be assured, which
is that until more mills are running In

An Indian at Los Angeles has de-
manded of the County Clerk that his
name be enrolled as a voter. He claims
that underline Constitutional amendment,

The Sacramento Record states that no
less than 1880 people in that city
depend directly upon the Central
Pacific Railroad for their support.
The purchases OF the company in that
city for the road average $4,000 per
week Nearly every town on the line of
the road from SACRAMENTO through to
Corinne and Ogden, owes its population,
business and oSgin to the railroad.
Truckee, the largest and most important
town on the railroad between Sacramento
and Ogden, has a population of 1900
souls, every one of whom is dependent
for support upon the railroad, or upon
industries which it has called into exist
ence. In other words, il the railroad was
not in operation, the probabilities are
that there would not be q white man,
woman or child in Truckee, nor dollars
worth of assessable property.
