An Error Correctad.

Eds. Record Union: An article in
Tuesdays Record d-Union" states that
Healey has improved his plant SO that
no disagreeable odors escape therefrom.
If that be correct. he must have made
the change during Monday night before

press Monday evening the odoriferous
stencil in the vicinity of the Healey
plant was thick enough to cut in slices.
In conclusion, will the Record Union

ing a similar one to filter the atmos-

Truekee Ice carnival.

Two more of the popular excursions
to the Truclzee Ice Carnival are an
nounced for the present week, on Fri
day and Saturday evenings. 18th and
18th. This is California's first expert
ence with a festival SO unique in char
acter. and it has been received with
surprising favor far and wide. as the
great number of visitors attest. The
aid given by the railroad company in
making a round-trip rate so low that it
barely covers cost is generally COM
mended, as it gives all who have any
taste for winter sports and an eye for
sublimely picturesque scenes an oppor-
tunity for the grandest experience of a
lifetime. The round trip from Sacra-
nento, including sleeping car. IS only
So 80. No extent Of Imagination, how
ever lively. can picture the glorious
sport and magnificent scenes OF this

HE WILL NOT COME.

A Capitalist Who Accuses Us of Neg
lecting Our Best Interests.
A well-known business man stated
yesterday to a Record Union" reporter
that a short time ago a wealthy capi-
talist came to this city with the expec-
tation Of investing and was at first well
pleased with the prospects and stated
that he thought it was a good field.
On further investigation, however, he
changed his mind, and said that if he
had millions to throw to the dogs he
would not do it here, for after investi-
cation he found the people dead to
their own best interests and a general
apathy existing among them that pre-
vented them from moving in the line OF
progress.
