Expressions From some of the Leading
Country Papers.
Colusa San: The Sacramento RECORD
UNION goes after that portion of the press
| that has made heroes of Sontag and
Evans. The denunciation cannot be TOO
severe. Any one who will attempt TO
ROB train or stage coach ought to be
hanged. 1t is an act OF the coldest kind
ot murder, for 1t must contemplate the
death OF whoever stands in the way. The
idea of trying to make the unpopularity
OF the railroad company a cloak for the
murderers is absurd. The community is
interested-in fact it is the community,
and not the railroad officials, that is at
tackled.
Woodland Democrat: AS soon as w.
Fl. Mills made a speech faVoriIg the
winter exposition, that determined few
demagogues to oppose 1t. Suppose such
an enterprise will enable the railroads to
make some money for themselves, is
that valid reason why we should refuse
to encourage project that, if successful,
Will result in helping every other in
dustry in the State?
Oroville MercuTy: Mining is a dead
industry, is it? Records don't show it,
anyway! There are lots of folks in this
country who have faith enough in mining
TO put money into new companies allied
w Vic lAuuSlIys lutIC are 900 new cor
porations in the United States whose or
ganization was perfected during the week
ending June I'd. The aggregate capitaliza-
tlon OF the new concerns was S9S. AL 800
Ot this amount Sl6, ,344, 900 were presented
by thirty-tour new gold, silver, coal, iron
and other mining and smelling COM
panies.
Colusa Gazette: While the crops in
this vicinity can hardly be said to be up to
!
wheat, barley, hay, vegetables and fruit
in the vicinity to insure a very promising
condition of affairs and a fairly prosper
GUS season, if the farmers and truit-grow-
ers can only realize good prices for their
products.
Colfax Sentinel. The independent
paper is to be the paper of the future,
even if some of the ''Organists'' and
politicians haven't found it out yet
II we have taken a step a few years in
advance of some Of our elder brothers
we have done only what the greatest
papers in the United States are doing
right along and what the recent Press
Congress in Chicago talked great deal
about. Some of the greatest papers in
the country are astraddle Of the political
barb wire and find it much more agree
able to manhood and conducive to USE
fulness to ride in the saddle of independ-
ence than to wallow in the filth of boss
ism and machine politics.
Oakland Times: The proposition to
hold a supplemental WORLDS Fair in San
Francisco is gaining steadily in favor. 1t
is being demonstrated that midwinter
exhibition, if properly conducted, will
do much to relieve the business strin-
geny now existing. The cost should be
the least of the considerations now oper-
ating in the debate as TO the feasibility
and profit Of the proposed enterprise.
That such an enterprise would put an
immense amount of money in circula-
ton cannot be denied; that it would ad-
vertise California more thoroughly than
any other effort is undisputed. Every
objection thus far urged against the pro
position is vague and untenable; every
argument against the enterprise is sus-
piciously tainted with silurianism.
