EDITOR CARSON APPEAL: - The
Truckee Republican for several issues
past has had an article flying at it.
mast head entitled "Carson and
Truckee," in which. his reverence
Deacon Parkinson, of your place, has
fully vindicated the Truckee and Tahoe
stage line and its managers and has
saddled all the mismanagement OF
travel between Carson and TrEckee on
the Governor Stanford and its owners.
It seems singular that the management
Of the Republicans could not find better
material for IFS editorial columns than
trying 20 discourage and work the ruin

articles on the neutrality Of the SueZ
Canal, the war in Egypt, or the Cali
f,rnia State Republican ticket would
! look better at its mast head. Our friend,

prove by competent persons that my
boat, the Governor Stanford, makes in
her daily trips from ten to eleven miles
an hour. The article referred to states
that dete;1tions on Lake Tahoe are
mainly due to the slOwness of the Gov

a boat that cannCt make more than six
miles an hour cannot be made to &C

number Of years, and am not at all
alarmed about the big men of Truckee
putting on :. fast boat, and the sensible
twice before they speak once about put
ting their money into such an enter
prise. There are, however, big iinan-
ciai men in California who stand ready
to equip II rival stage line to the Moody
line, and make good all losses and de-
fcits. The Central Pacific railroad will
probably continue to operate without
the aid of either John Moody or the
Truckce Republican,. Great pains have
been taken in the article alluded to to
impress the importance of Mr.. MoOdy's |
with the Central Pacific
Railroad. l have to say to the whole |
outfit, come out next Spring and launch
your boat, if you feel like it. Compe- |
tition is the life of trade. You will |
find the Stanford waiting and in readi- |
ness every mornin. at 9:l5 10 take |
charge of the mails, unavoidable acct
dents excepted. Pu. spurs to your
horses, and make Horace keep his seat. |
