July 28, 1903 A MOUNTAIN: BLESSING. HE East is again writhing under merciless heat, with many deaths and prostrations reported daily. People who live in the inter-mountain country have no adequate conception of what the awful “hot spell” means in a large eastern city, especially one of the inland cities. Here in Nevada City, no matter how warm it may become during the day, the nights are‘ almost invariably cool, enabling a tired body to become refreshed for the next day’s work, But in the East, when the nights are but a shade cooler than the days, the conditions are incomparably worse. There are no canyons there to go to for a few hours or days, no snow-capped mountains to cool the torrid breezes, and: suffering humanity—especially among the poorer classes in the great cities—can do nothing but endure it and pray fora drop in the temperature, On the sea coast the majority of the people can occasionally get to the water-side to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze for a time, but in inland cities such as St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, this is an-impossibility andthe people there are forced to bea: it as best they can. Too often the greatest sufferers, the poor, are unable to afford the luxury of an occasional lump of ice, and sickness and death'as a result are natural consequences. People who have lived all their lives in the shadows of these glorious Sierra Nevada mountains cannot understand what a hot day in the East means. Here we have what we call hot days, but they are matters of trifling discomfort compared with the actual suffering and misery caused by a hot day in lower altitudes. The moist “sticky” heat, with its attendant skin affections, which proves positive torture to Eastern people, is unknown here. Even on our hottest days one can, by seeking shade, be fairly comfortable without resorting to artificial means of keeping cool, but during the “hot spell” in the East comfort is absolutely out of the question, In this rich and poor suffer alike, but the rich are able in many ways to mitigate their troubles, either by leaving for the mountains or seashore or by artificial cooling devices. It is the poor, the tenement house contingent, that gets the brunt of it. All who can do so seek the housetops at night, not always to sleep—for utter exhaustion is unnecessary to sleep under the circumstances—but in order to get the effect of any cooling breeze that may be stirring. There is no room on the housetops for all and the others seek the streets ~—men, women and children, reduced to a common level by suffering—to draw what comfort they can from the stones which too often are not cooled from the intense heat of one day before another blazing sun beats down upon them. But housetop or street is preferable to a crowded house, which, during the “hot spell,” proves a veritable furnace, and there the long night is passed with groans, gasps and occasional snatches of sleep. The next day and the next night are merely repetitions of the previous ones, and so it goes until the “hot spell” passes. The people:of this section—and in fact the whole of the State—have been exceptionally favored and blessed thus far this summer by a remarkably cool wave which has prevailed almost continuously, making the days almost as delightfully cool as the evenings. What a contrast to the insufterably hot weather which has-prevailed recently in the East! Here in the mountains ‘we have, fortunately, bnt little poverty; scarcely any tenements and sweltering nights are unknown, The terrible moist heat which saps the energy of residents of the East is never felt heré. and poor alike can reach a snow-capped peak or a cooling salt breeze within a few hours, or by remaining at home can be assured that with the going down of the sun will come a refreshing coolness that will last well into the morning. Of the many blessings we have in the mountain country probably the. one least appreciated by those who have lived here longest, but yet one of the greatest of them all, is that there is no /‘Hot spell” here.

GEORGE STONE, : So ee Firemen’s 3 Heelion. The members of the Nevada City Fire Department held their annual election for Chief and Assistant Chief five until eight o’clock p.m. Forty-two votes were cast, A. K. Snail of Pennsylvania Engine/Hose Company, No. 2, was unanimously elected Chief, and F. M. Grissell, of Nevada Hose Company, No, 1, received the unanimous vote for Assistant Chief. After the result was declared, -Ohief-elect Snell treated the fire laddies to a fine collation, and a very pleasant time followed. The new Ohief has taken great interest in the department ever since he was old enough to “run with the machine,” and on several occasions he has distinguished himself as a firemanof worth and ability, When the occasion comes around, be it day or night, he is always found in front of the very flames in the performance of his duties. He is popular with his and possesses the best of qualifications for the position of Chief Engineer. Assistant Ohief Grissel is another young man who has also ‘grown up in the department,” and is well qualified in every way for that place. He isa man who is always alive to the loterests of the fire companies, and will prove to be a very efficient Assistant Chief Engineer. Saddle Horse Wantéd. A good saddle horse is wanted.

The report was alsoto the effect that five of the militia men had been slain. Of course, the rumor was false, but like many other untrue fabrications was impossible to find out where it started, NOVEL BOAT CONTROLLER. Device to Direct a Vessel’s Movements From Land. Charles Alden of Dorchester, Mass., recently completed a series of experiments by which he is enabled to control all the movements of a boat in midstream while sitting on the bank, says a Boston special to the New York Times. The device used is similar to the wireless telegraph. The scene of his operations is at Milton, on the Neponset river. Here a long pole wourd with two large coils of wire is set in the ground near to an eight volt bat. tery, generator and a transmitter. The boat, which is seven feet long, is fitted with an elaborate receiving apparatus. By means of the transmitter on the shore the inventor sends wireless impulses to the boat and is able to make it weigh anchor, cast off, go ahead, back water and perform ali other movements of a real vessek Alden states that it willbe easy to put such an apparatus into operation in a large boat,-the only thing necessary being te‘direct and send the impulse from the transmitter on shore to the reeéiver on the boat. The inventor is now at work on a model of a lifeboat to be similarly managed, and ‘he. believes the device can be put into practice on big boats. Florists Now Ship Fine Dirt. Since florists of Newcastle, Ind., have made such a suceess in the growing of roses and other plants, a new industry has sprung up there which promises to assume large proportions, says the Indianapolis' News. Outsiders, recognizIng the superiority of the’ Neweastle product and being financially unable to erect ranges, are doing the next best thing—namely, shipping soil gathered from around Newcastle to their plants to a distance as far away as 200 miles. Within the past few days several car loads of soil have been shipped to Indianapolis, Chicago and Cincinnati firms for the growing of roses.

A Bear Hunt. In a recent issue of the San Francisco Examiner an article appeared in regard td the losses sustained by sheep owners in“the upper part of this county on account-of the namber of bears prowling around. Several of the sheepmen report quite heavy losses, and are talking of baving 4 “bear drive,” somewhat after the style of the rabbit hunts in vogue in some of the lower counties. When the big drive is to take place we have no means of learning just now, bat the city daily has set sportmen’s circles in different parts of the State all agog. Marshal ,Shéarer received two letters today—ene from San Francisco and the other from Winters—making inquiry as to the proposed bruin rounds up. The sportsmen are anxious, according to their letters, to come ye and “beard the grizzly in his den.” There is one thing they can depend on and that ie, if they decide to vieit the higher Sierras in quest of big game they will be well treated by the stockmen and residents in general. All the campers are accorded every privjlege in the line of hunting or fishing by those up-country people, and their hospitality cannot be beat.

A Bear Hunt. In a recent issue of the San Francisco Examiner an article appeared in regard td the losses sustained by sheep owners in“the upper part of this county on account-of the namber of bears prowling around. Several of the sheepmen report quite heavy losses, and are talking of baving 4 “bear drive,” somewhat after the style of the rabbit hunts in vogue in some of the lower counties. When the big drive is to take place we have no means of learning just now, bat the city daily has set sportmen’s circles in different parts of the State all agog. Marshal ,Shéarer received two letters today—ene from San Francisco and the other from Winters—making inquiry as to the proposed bruin rounds up. The sportsmen are anxious, according to their letters, to come ye and “beard the grizzly in his den.” There is one thing they can depend on and that ie, if they decide to vieit the higher Sierras in quest of big game they will be well treated by the stockmen and residents in general. All the campers are accorded every privjlege in the line of hunting or fishing by those up-country people, and their hospitality cannot be beat.
