We cheerfully publish the following
from the Mountain Democrat as in pub
fishing the telegram sent US by citizen of
Placerville we had no idea of doing that
thriving town an injustice:
Knowing the kindly feeling entertained
by the RECORD UNION and other Associated
Press papers for Placerville and El Dorado
county, we take the liberty of asking them
to correct the statement contained in a
PlacerVille dispatch of August 2Sth. Un-
fortunately the fool-killer has not visited
US this summer, and our local press re-
porter lives and grows fat on the untruths
telegraphed abroad to the great injury of
the city. The latest was the following:
No water in Placerville Tin black letter
head line). There is a great scarcity of
water here on account of no snow being on
the mountains. The mines. factories,
fouudries and grist mills are shut down.
Great loss will be sustained Just at this
time, when the entire press of the coun-
try is discussing the water question as of
more importance than any-we might saw
than all-others, if these statements were
true, would 1t be good policy to tell the
world about it? Is this the way to induce
immigration? 1t is well known fact that
all over the State water this year is scarce.
There was little early snow; we have not
had the usual late rains; the unusual dry
spell has resulted in great evaporation, and
made more irrigation than common nee
essary, Several new mines (the Pacific
using perfect river of water are in opera

could be made. A few days later, under
immense pressure, the pipe taking water
to the foundry, machine shops, grist mill,
etc, gave out. There was no iron in the
city sufficiently heavy for this pipe, but it
was telegraphed for and Weaiherwax e.
Morey have had every available man at
work on the pipe for several davs. Out of
these facts grew the telegram, No water at

HOW TO HELP THE FAIR.

One of the very best means of aiding
the State Agricultural Society to com
plete success with the State Fair of next
week Is for Sacramentans to industriously
concern themselves in the dissemination of
information about the States annual cx-
position. 1t is certainty that the fair
will be one OF superior attractiveness aud
material value, and that it will in a very
high degree be worthy of study by the
people. Probably i will be the occasion
fer the assembling Of the finest stock and
the greatest num5er of fine bred animals
ever brought together in this State. This
alone ought to constitute an object of es-
pecial interest to breeders and agricultu-
ralists generally. The speed programme
proves on examination to be one that will
excite unusual interest amongAueyers of
