SUSANVILLE NEWS
Agitating for a new road – Grain and Fruit Crop – Spring Rain Begins
April 1st, 1880
Capt. Merrill and E.A. Weed will in the near future leave for Reno, visiting all the farms on the way, to secure aid to build the road from Reno to Alturas and Goose Lake.
There is a great deal of talk here in opposition to the project. The majority seem to think it will be the death knell to Susanville by taking away the Northern trade, while others contend that it will be of incalculable benefit both to Susanville and the valley, as well as Reno.
Work has been commenced on the Antelope hill grade. This will, when completed, be of vast benefit to the travelling public of the north, the present grade being almost impassible for a team to pull a load over.
The fall grain is coming up finely, and promises to be a good stand.
The prospect of a large fruit crop is very flattering. The cold weather has kept the trees back until all danger from frost is over. This time last year the trees were in full bloom, whereas at present the fruit buds have not begun to swell.
No plowing has been done yet, the ground being frozen until quite recently. The spring rains have commenced. Yesterday and to-day rain fell steadily all the time. The total amount measured this evening 1.54 inches.
