George Ohleyer Writes From Wash
ington to DIR. Il. NJ. Dixon.
DR.. G. NJ. Dixon, Chairman of the
River Improvement Convention, last
evening received the following letter
from Hon. George Ohleyer OF Sutter, a
member of the committee that went to
Washington to urge action by Congress:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2, 1892.
DF. q. ". Dic00. Sucl0ne}to-DEAR
SIR: Now that MIR. Deylin is gone, from
whom you doubtless was from time to time
instructed as regards our river improve
ment cause, / Will venture few lines for
you. As you will have been informed by
Mr.. Devlin, who will be with you before
this can reach you, in our Judgment, your
delegates have accomplished about all it
was possible for them to do. All our
facts are fully before the committee, and
no visitors can be admitted, and since all
our delegations IN Congress are working
in unison for river appropriations, etc.,
II is thought safe in their hands.
Since Mr.. Deylin LETT Mr.. Mchenna has
been before the River and Harbor Com
mittee and secured long and attentive
hearing all on river matters. | had sup
piled him with further data, which he
filed with the committee. Such express
slons as were elected on the part of the
members were favorable indications, or,
at least, none were unfavorable.
The project of combining the river and
mining demands had gotten into the
minds of some OF the committee by some
means, which, / judge from Mr. Nc
kenna's remarks to me, he succeeded in
segregating and explaining. The two
interests, | am quite confident, viii be
kept apart and appear before different
committees, and will be allowed to stand
or fall on their own merits And theV
should be-
The merits of the mining propositions
are great and not to be ignored, but they
are no more pressing than were the
river claims two years ago, when we had
to submit to delay and examinations and
plans and estimates.
Whether the mining interests can find
short cut for immediate aid is not clear;
neither is it clear that the Government
will enter upon the policy of restrainder
for new debris, but it is committed to
river Improvement, and our prayers are
sustained by two United States Commits
sions and by the State River Commission,
For these reasons it is fortunate that
the two propositions are not to be united.
For reasons | cannot explain the press
telegrams have steadily pointed toward "A
union or common cause, which | have
very much regretted, because they We're
misleading, and if persisted in would GER
talnly jeopardize river improvement.
Very truly yours,

Cure of kidney Disease.

Frank Stretinger, Northeast, Erie
County, Pa, writes:
81 first used ALLCocK's PoRoUs Pas
TIERS for a severe cold in my chest, some
three years ago. and the relief was so
prompt and decided that I concluded to
further test them for kidney trouble,
which | had had for many years; during
this time my back ached almost con-
stantly. ! had to pass water very fre-
quently, always feeling the bladder did
not expel all its contents. l had always
to get up in the night several times for
this purpose, and there was always a
reddish sediment that sank to the bot
tom. l had great pain under the shoul-
der blades; upon rising in the morning 1
was always tired and unreireshed; my
bowels during this time were first very
loose; then constipated. L bought dozen
of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs, put two
low down on my back, two higher up,
and one over my bladder and lower part
of the stomach. In four weeks L felt bet
ter than in years before. The pain in my
back completely passed away, and the
other troubles were relieved"

"reminiscences OF the GOOu Ola Days
of 40.
The California gold fever of 1919 gave a
greater impetus TO commerce than it had
ever received. san Francisco in that
year was described by newspaper COR
respondent as a beehive of the largest
kind,'' though the conveniences for bus
ineSS' were small, there being ''only 100
decent size stores, but shanties enough of
all kinds" The retail price OF flour in
that city was fifty cents pound; the re-
tail price of pork was from fifty to
seyenty-tive cents pound; the retail
price Of bread was from twenty-five to
thirty-three cents per pound. Boards
sold for S400 thousand feet, and brandy
for twenty-five cents q glass. OF poverty
there was none, with gold worth SI6 an
ounce; of prudence, also, there was none.
Ii was cheaper TO throw clothes away
than to pay for the washing Of them.
The ship oxford arrived in san Fran

inlaid the handles with gold, and having
landed on some islands and found some
pearl oyster shells. had covered the
handles of their knives with pearl in

that it was with difficulty he kept them

Another day he earned SIT, and another

companion picked up the boxes that had
been cast aside as useless in the city after
the goods had been sold from them, and
got four or five dollars apiece. 4 youth
named Glines, from Newbury, Bylield
Parish, Mass, returned home from Cali

$4,000. He had come, he said only to
see his gold safe, and was soon on his
way back to the diggings

The Eminent Author and Lecturer to

George w. Cable, the brilliant writer

of his passion for Sidonie, the hopeless
love of Claude st. Pierre, and the event

dramatic power was displayed to the ut

The Ice Companies Said to be Prepar-
ing for One.
1t is reported that there has been rup-
ture in the Union Ice Company, says the
Truckee Republican. The Union was
composed of the Sierra Lakes, the Peo-
ple's, the Mountain and the ''Machines''
controlled by Lloyd Teyis. The Mountain
has drawn out, and a consolidation of the
Mountain, the Floriston and the National
has been effected under the name of the
National Ice Company. The Tahoe Ice
Company belongs to neither, but has sold
its crop to the Union.
1t is said that the National is equipped
TO do large retail business in San Fran
cisco, and those who know say that an ice
war is sure to result. 1t is also rumored
that Tevis will sever his relations with
the Union and join the National alter
July 1st. 1t is prophesied that ice will be
very cheap this year. A big crop has been
harvested, and there is nearly 125, ,000 tons
along the Truckee River.
The progress Of the fight, if there should
be one, will be watched with interest by
the people, who viii have good oppor-
tunity to keep cool.
