Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-10-06

THE periodic scare is on in San Fran
cisco. One of the city papers has broken
loose upon the subject what might happen
if some power, with navy of modern
ships, should take into its governmental
head to lombard San Francisco. OF course
all the world knows that the metropolis
would have to "come down. and buy
safety. OF course all the world knows
that our Pacific coast defenses are made
quate-and for the matter of that so are
those Of New York and Boston, as was
proven few months ago by semi-officiaI
investigation. There is no need to attempt
to further prove the proposition. The
thing to do Is to get the political bosses of
both parties to consent that Congress may
enter upon the work of need, and which
may well engage it for the next ten years,
and even then it viii not be completed
There is no use in talking to the people
about the matter, for, unfortunately, they
have very little to say about it. The po-
litical boss is the chap to influence. If he
can be made to see his opportunity in the
building of new works of defense, he will
give orders, and the thing viii be done. If
the matter rested with the Senate of the
United States we might reasonably look
forward to some early, conservative and
sensible action, but in the House it will
not be permitted by the bosses until their
consent has been gained, and their de-
mands satisfied.

ferring to Bishop Clawson's course. he said
the Bishop would be respected by all hon
orabIe men for his manly, commendable
course. Were in his place" said he, 1"
would also prefer imprisonment and honor
to liberty and dishonor." Again, touching
on the Court, he said: Judge Zane has
taken a course that has made him coward,
unfit TO be called a man, and condemnation
will fall upon him and the heads of his
children. Remember, therei is limit" lin
an imprisoned tone, and this limit must
soon be reached, even if they oyerstep their
bounds. 1t makes me sick" he said, to
hear them talk of hypocrisy and very
sarcastically he said, Judge Zane should
say less about hypocritical can't >" Apes
tie Grant assured the world that no good
saint would bow to the mandates of our

execute the laws. AT the close of his SER

Ferry and Road at yina.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: From time to time
some writer attacks Governor Stanford for
closing up the Vina Ferry road from the
town of Vina to the Sacramento river. 1
have frequently replied to them in papers
in this county. My answers are never
copied by other papers, but the attack on
Mr.. Stanford went the rounds of the lead
ing papers of the State. The attacks were
generally base, malicious and false. written
by persons ignorant Of facts regarding the
road.
| noticed an article in the Red Bluff
Sentinel of September oath, signed by J. G.
Barley, regarding the ferry road. I
have read his letter carefully, and if there
is single fact about the road from
Nina to the river, have failed to find it.
Mr.. Barley speaks of an old Territorial
road that had been travelled from the early
times up to 1872. There never was any
road there till 1872, when [ established the
ferry. There used to be steamboat land
ing one mile and a half above the ferry.
near the mouth of Deer creek. Thirty
three years ago there was a ferry at the
Moon ranch, some two miles below the
Nlna ferry, but that was abandoned some
thirty years ago. When Tehama got to be
little town all the travel from the coast
side of the river, going to the northern
mines, came this way, so there was not
travel enough to justify Mr. Moon to keep
his ferry running. None of Mr. Barklev's
friends, nor anyone writing about that
road, appear to know anything about the
Moon ferry. | don't think any of them
were in this country in those days l be-
lieve Mr.. Barkley has been here about two
years only.
Had the Board of Supervisors in 1874
done justice by me and established a
county road on the west side of the river,
as l earnestly requested them to do, when
one Chris Gardner, after giving me the
right of way through his land, forbid me
as trespasser, there never would have
beep any trouble about that road, but in
stead of that they annulled my charter and
gave it to Mr.. Gardner, and he proved to be
a very incompetent person. for he lost two
ferryboats in two years. | don't think any
Board of Supervisors ever treated any per-
son with such gross injustice as that Board
treated me. After establishing an enter
prise of that kind they gave away what be-
longed to me, and that man Gardner got
what cost me nearly $1,000. The road was
made and the boat there ready to run with
out costing him anything.
When Gov. Stanford bought the ranch |
went to his agents and told them about the
road that it belonged to me, and requested
lnein 10 close IL. got lne ROAD from MI.
Gerke, and he always called it my road,
and promised that some time when we met
in Red Bluff he would give me deed of it.
He repeatedly said to me that Mr. Gard
ner shall never have that road, for it be-
longs to you" For nearly ten years Mr..
Gardner has had the benefit of my enter
prise, and am glad that he has ceased to
take in money that by rights belonged to
me. Then you let me say in conclusion
that if any one is to blame for that road
being closed | think it is your obedient
servant, JOHN LEA.
