A community meeting is. to be held in Virginia City the evening, of Wednesday, March 17 for the pur- pose of discussing the Vigilante Trail and the various methods which. should be adopted to bring its numerous . advantages promin- ently. to the attention of the travel- ing . public.

Each • committee was positive that its cennininity ahould he on the direct route of the Vigi- lante Trail and endeavored to con- vince the board that a mistake would be made. in - selecting' us its permanent roadway the route pro- posed by the opposition. The route , which seems to meet with most fav- orable consideration at Waterlint s is that running in a direct line from Cedar hill to the Jefferson river at u point opposite that town, where It will be necesSurN\to construct a bridge and then continue on up the valley lo Twin Bridges. It is con- tended by. those who profess to know that this will not only Make the Vigilente Trail shorter : between Butte and Twin Bridges, but that 4Ainstruction will be cheaper amid the final result be a better road to travel. . On. the bther hand, residents of Silver Star show with convincing argument that the road elrea - dy is built on their side of the elver; that they. huve u good bridge at Iron Rod; that all the rent mint Wild- life to be undertaken is a .strip of atall lend' lying between theylSenen at Iron -Rod and the bridge; that this work can he coMpleted at less than half the cost of .placing one of the briditea across tho river to accommodate _the Waterloo travel, and that the route by way of Silver Star not only 'affords better travel- ing but cuts the distance between Twin Bridges and Butte by at least four miles. • This is the condition of the Vigi- lante Trail controversy at Waterloo and Silver Star.
