FROM DRY CREEK.

The following letter in reference to an inter-
Press of the 18th ult.
Editors Press:-Feeling assured OF your will
hngness to publish anything that would be of
interest or advantage TO the public especially
those seeking homes in the State and never
having seen anything in print respecting this
locality, thought best to let the readers of the
Press know something of a beautiful tract of
country lying on either side of what is known
as Dry Creek, situated in the Southern part of
Placer county, and within Ia miles of Sacra-
mento city. | consider it worthy OF much
notice as many other places of which we read
so much. We can boast of rs healthy climate
as any other part OF the State. The soil is
varied, being composed OF clay, sand and de-
composed granite. 1t will produce as good
wheat, barley and oats as any other part of the
country. Potatoes and other vegetables do well
If properly cultivated, though we do not boast
of as many bushels to the acre as some OTHER
localities; but We have the satisfaction of reap
ing when We SOW, having never known total
failure on this creek. There were number of
pieces sown with alfalfa last winter the most
looks well and will no doubt be success. The
orchards and vineyards give promise of large
crop, and the hay crop was good, having been
cut and large quantities of it already marketed
We are now busy threshing wheat and barley
which will be an average crop, although the
rorth wind four weeks ago injured them some.
what.
Our nearest market is Roseville, pleasantly
situated little town at the junction of the c. p
Cal. and Oregon r, r. 1t is good market for
hay and barley, which is shipped in large guam
titles to the mountains for feeding stock in the
lumber regions. What we want, in order to
make this one of the most thrifty towns in the
State, is a few enterprising men with capital to
erect mill and factories and such other i'm
provements as are needed to make live place
We have the wheat and wool and need the mills
to fit them for use. Judging from the acreage
now in summer fallow there will be double the
area sown next fall that has ever been before
Another important item is the large quantities
of white oak timber, which, converted into stove
wood, commands good price.
| would say to those seeking homes in the
country, give us a Gall before buying mot that
have lands for sale, as l have none; but becaus,
they are yet cheap, compared to many othe.
places; possessing no more advantages than are
to be found here,) Improved farms can be
bought for $50 per acre There are large tracts
of land, from two to five miles of Rosevle, that
am told can be bought cheap, and on reason
able terms. They are now used for sheep
ranches, We have Grange at Roseville in
perfect working order, which numbers some
thing over 10 members and still they come.

Ia king trade with 10 Mclaughlin, proprietor OF
the Empire Livery Stable, other parties gathered
around, and from the general appearance of the
stranger. und the low price at which he offered
the said horse and buggy, a suspicion arose in
the minds of some that all was not exactly right
He hailed from Sacramento, but on telegraphing
to parties there whom he claimed to know. they
answered that they knew nothing about him
This and other attendant circumstances increased
the suspicion sufficiently to induce A . Hunty

him, and have a warrant issued for his arrest He
Yves accordingly lodged in JAIL and the officers
in Sacramento notified at once of the proceed
ings. Chief of Police, KArcher at once came
up and took the thief to Sacramento, the next
morning, in the same buggy that brought him
It turns out, as suspicioned, that ne had taken

SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS,

At a special meeting, held by the Board of
Supervisors commencing on Tuesday, July 27,
the following business was transacted
A petition having been filed with Clerk of the
Board, from Township No 8, in this county,
asking the Supervisors to call election, for
the purpose of voting upon the question of
liquor license, or no liquor license, the Board
proceeded to the consideration Of said petition.
TUESDAY, July On the statement of c c
Crosby, County Recorder, as TO the policy of
dispensing with duplicate assessment books for
the several districts and due consideration of
the subject by the Board, il was, motion,
dered that duplicate assessment books, for
Revenue Districts /, 2 and 3, for the present
year. be dispensed with.
The Board then again took up the Local OPP
ton petition, and proceeded with the examina-
ton and further consideration of the same.
Said petition being represented by Hon c
Norton, and Judge Hale appearing for GER
tain parties in opposition to the calling of said
election. The Board, in comparing and esti-
mating the number of legal voters in sss,,u Town
ship, took the poll-lis: OF the last general cleo
ton as oasis, and found the number of voters
as follows: First, the total number Of votes
cast in said township is 2S6; second, the total
number of names signed to said petition found
on said pol-list, is "a; third, that the number
of petitioners required to call an election is ~;
fourth, that the number of legal petitioners in
excess of number required is %. Whereupon
J E Hale presents petition signed by 81 Of the
legal petitioners, whose names also appear on
said first Lamed petition, and included in the
! foregoing estimate, and ask that their names be
stricken from said first named petition. The
motion argued pro and con, by the counsel
for the respective parties, and submitted to the
Board, and by the Board taken under advise
nent for few hours. On the reconsideration
of the subject, Supervisor Barrett moved that
the prayer of said petition, asking for the calling
of an election, be granted; the motion being
seconded by Supervisor Laird, the final vote
was taken, Barrett and Laird, voting in the af-
frmative and Soule and Hartman in the mega
tive whereupon the Chairman, V V Mann, cast
b. vote in the affirmative, and the motion was
declared carried See proclamation in another
column.

A LrrERAToR not in the employ of the county,
and who is an itnerant newsmonger in this
vicinity, go. into the galaxy way too early last
Sunday evening. It was through his oblivion
that the Episcopal Service Book was kept segre-
gated which inconvenienced the audience in the
court house. From the apology of the clergy
one would Judge that he would pray for the man
who forgot to distribute the Service Book. The
dream, related by the gentleman who learns the
children their letters, the following morning, is
evidence that the prayer of the clergy had the de-
sired effect. He said 81 dreampt lest night that
| was interviewed by st. Paul. ST. Peter and St
Matthew Dined with Napoleon l, and shook
hands with the Gar of Russia, l do not know
what caused me to dream such dream, except
it was because l forgot to distribute the Service
Book"

LICENSE MENs CONVENTION - Last Monday
the License men, of Placer county, held a con-
vention, in Auburn, mainly, as we understand it,
for the purpose of organizing, that they may be
prepared to take any steps that may be necessary
for the protection of ,heir interests against the
Local Optionsts. 1t seems, from the minutes
as handed to us by the Secretary, W B. Mctiuire
that no platform of principles was adopted, nor
mode of action decided upon, but simply organ
lied quietly, and went back to their homes, de-
termined and disposed to declare no principle,
nor take any further action unless in self defence
they feel it their duty to do so. In this they
showed good judgment, for it would be folly for
them to begin war on the Local Option law, or
its friends without cause. But to be organized
and prepared for emergencies is wisdom with
any class under any circumstances The organi
zation was called "The License Dealers Associa-
ton. of which Geo. ". McCreedy was chosen
President, W. b. Mcclure, Secretary, and Robt
Gordon. Treasurer A Central Committee was,
on motion, appointed by the President, consist
ing of sixteen members one from each township
in the county, and five at large, as follows: TIP.
/, w J. Branstetter; tp. 2, Chas. Anderson; tp
3, G. w. McCreedy; tip. 4, w Ii. Hines tp. 5,
Jeff Lockhart; tp. 6, Chas. Rozier; tip. 7 John
Smith tip. s, Mr.. Houck tp 8, W. d. Perkins
tp. 10. T. p. Harper; tip, II, ]. b. Campbell.
At large Robt. Gordon, T. f. Ste phens, E, VI
Banvard, g. Crissman, and w. b. Mcclure.
From this committee an Executive Committee
was appointed by the President consisting of
the following named gentlemen: W. d. Perkins,
of Rockln; G. w, McCreedy, 7. Z. Stephens,
Robt Gordon, and w. b. Mcclure of Auburn.
There is one thing we cannot help but notice, in
looking over the names Of gentlemen on these
committees, and others doubtless will see the
same, that they, though organized in opposition
to law which is claimed by its friends would
have most desirable effect on the morals of
socity prominent men in business, and
in the community where they reside, and nearly
all, so far as we know, are the very opposite to
immortality.

ACRoBATIC. - Accidents sometimes deyelop
traits ot character, and powers of mind and mus
Gle that otherwise might lie dormant forever.
Ihis reasoning was well substantiated, last Sab
bath, IN the case of two of our prominent mer-
chants, who were out in buggy for pleasure
rlde. These men, in outward appearance seem
to possess no more natural agility than most any
other two men. But when, by accident. they
tipped over on a steep hillside, the excitement
OF the affair seemed to arouse all their latent
powers for tumbling; and to see them as they
performed their aerial revolutions, somersaults,
double somersaults, back handed hand-springs
on may be, head-springs, over rocks and through
chaparrsi, from the place of upsettng to the
bottom Of the hill, would have convinced the
most skeptical Of their athletic powers, and
have caused one to wonder why they ever chose
the profession of honest tfadesmen inste d of
the arena, for which they were evidently bv na-
ture intended. Even the horses attached to the
vehicle were stupefed with astonishment
at the SIGHT of the performance; which. though
pr we'd lucky event, as thus any damage that
might have resulted from runaway was pre-
vented. We are pleased to state that the per-
formers escaped with only slight scratches from
the brush.
