Ell DORADO "KICKS.,
Opposition to the Plans of the Land and
Lumber Company.


The Placerville Democrat, under the head
of Sacramento county to be built up at the
expense of Ell Dorado has the following
editorial:
We had intended to say much on this
subject this week, but our columns are
very much crowded and we have reason to
believe that if the Supervisors are in any
doubt as to their duty in refusing to grant
the petition of George w. Cummings syn
dicate, the matter will go over to the June
meeting. We are always willing to give
all parties hearing if they have any argu-
ment to advance, but there is but one side
to this question. 1t is all turkey for the
syndicate and buzzard for the county. We
are not alone in this opinion On last
Tuesday and Wednesday we interviewed
the business men of Placerville pretty gen.
orally and failed to find one who was not
outspoken in opposition to the scheme 1t
is claimed by the petitioners that the grant,
ing of the franchise will create taxable
property in the county, but they make no
effort to point out how this is to be brought
about. If they were proposing to put
in boom on the river so as TO make it
necessary to ship their lumber, doors,
blinds, etc., from the present terminus of
our railroad; or better still, if they would
further up, where the river can be reached,
and there establish the manufacturing
establishments they tell about, we might
afford TO consider the matter. But there is
nothing of this kind proposed. A lot of
non-residents have come into the county
and bought from the Government our I'M
mense sugar pine forests, and then ask us
to furnish them, without compensation, the
means of transporting this timber to a
point outside of our county, there to be
prepared for market. The granting of this
franchise under the statute passed by the
last Legislature, would give the syndicate
the same control of the river as had our
old toll road men over their respective
roads, and Ell Dorado county would receive
nothing in return save the privilege of
regulating the tolls to be paid by her citi-
zens for the use of what is now their own.
The promoters of this scheme claim that
their business will only require the use of
the water OF the river in the spring of the
year, and therefore will not interfere with
mining and irrigating bitches Let us re-
mind our readers that if the petition is
granted the company will at once proceed
to put the river in order for its business.
and if their little irrigating or mining dams
are in the way-aud they certainly will be
they will be removed for twenty years at
least. And further, all river mining will be
stopped.
These things are asked that our timber
may be removed to the great climatic detri-
ment of our county, the money for which
goes to the owners in other parts of the
State, and that great manufacturing indus
tries may be established at Folsom, in Sac
ramenty county. We cannot afford it, and
our Supervisors will never grant it.

rill's note with thanks for the kind expressions

ment. A copy of Tracy's letter has been for
warded to Merrill. in order that his wishes may
