BE actively devoted to cam. paign work for the High School proposition which is to be voted on by our citizens at a special election to be held one week from to-morrow, and all supporters of the cause should do what missionary work they can do towards properly explaining the proposition to others, so that every voter will be able to cast his vote intelligently for the maintenance of a legal High School in our community. From the prevailing sentiment of our peeple and a general canvass of the field it is ari easy matter to predict the result—that the proposition will be carried by an ovérwhelming majority. But it is the desire of the promoters of the cause to have Nevada City distinguish herself on this occasion and gain an enviable reputation as a zealous supporter of higher educational facilities for our boys and girls, and toemphasize this highly intellectual endorsement by having our citizens unite and vote unanimously for the High School question, and without a dissenting vote, if possible. To this end ‘let everybody don a gold and purple badge and work industriously for the High School proposition from now until the evening of election day. Don’t “be afraid or too niodest to show your colors, for it is a cause that every individual should feel proud to espouse and work for,\and every citizen who votes for the new High School will not . only be doing the right thing, but he will be highly honored by the rising generation as progressive, public-spirited, and a promoter of advanced education. If you want to be “in the swim,” wear the gold and purple, and work for the cause. If you don’t, the young people of Nevada City will some day tell you to “go away— ’way back, and sit down.” — Anniversary.

The Nevadas and Grass Valleys played their second game of baseball for the season at Glenbrook Park yesterday afternoon before a large crowd. The game can be described in.a very few words, The Grass Valleys played gilt edge ball while the Nevadas played “rotten,” in fact as if they had never seen each other before, and. the way they_piled up errors was frightfal. They made as many errors as the Grass Valleys did runs.__Hocking began the “horse play” by dropping an easy fly in center. Ballestero and Hooper followed and easily succeeded in piling up five errors, while Spargo, not to be eutdone by anyone, added two more to the list. Spargo’s two errors are offset somewhat by his pitching, for he certainly pithed good ball, and although eight hits are recorded against him, in only one inaing were they bunched. Ballestero at short played very poorly, in fact he played the worst game he ever played since coming here. He certainly had an off day for everyone knows his work is usually brilliant. The Nevadas played a listless game, far different-from the one a week ago. They played as if they were bewildered. Their opponents played a_ perfect game and backed up Oyermyer in fine shape, Overmyer pitched the best game of his life yesterday and had perfect control. White caught him in faultless style and his throwing to bases was a feature. The whole Grass Valley team played with snap and vim, which was in strong contrast to the in and out game of the Nevadas for not a man reached third base.

The factory, dry house, office and part of the lumber yard of the Truckee Lumber company was destroyed by The blaze was discovered by the nightwatchman at about one o’clock and it was scarcely any time from the dis— covery of the fire till the whole immense building was enveloped in flames. ‘Ihe dry, light and highly ioflammable material with which the buildiag was filled and the sawduat ground for years to dust, when a blaze once struck .it, ignited throughout almost spontaneously,The firemen responded quickly and the three hose carts were on the seene in addition to two fire trains and two streams from the sawmill pump that rendered valuable assistance. Though heroic work was done, it was evident from the first that the factory was doomed to destruction and the fire men devoted their efforts and bent their energies to holding the firein check and preventing it from spreading to the adjoining buildings and adjacent property. In spite of their determined efforts the office of the company, situated just across the railroad track from the factory, took fire and burned. The office was separated only by a narrow street from the Kruger residence and the Aker’s house. These buildings were saved, but the intense heat scorched them and broke out all the window lights in the front of the residence, which is quite a heavy damage, particularly in the Kruger home, which has a large conservatory in the front of the house, Most of the lumber yard on the north side of the river was burned over, but this did not contain much lumber, but the flames jamped to the gouth side of the river and before they could be stopped destroyed something like three million feet of choice lumber. The factory had recently been nicely equipped with a lot of new machinery. To fact, some of the machines had not been set up for use, but they were destroyed with the rest. The plant with all its departments was one of the largest and most complete manufacturing establishments of building materials in the State. There was a planing mill, box factory, sash and door factory, glazier department, and equipments for the manufacturing of any wood design used in building. There was a large dry-heuse, a drykiln and an electric light plant in oon3/ nection with the manufacturing plant. The buildings covered several acres of ground and gave employment to handreds of men and ‘boys. all the year round. Four freight cars, the prop= erty of the 8. P. RB. R. Oo., which were standing on the spur along the side of the factory, were burned, as was also a considerable portion of the sidetrack. The fire caused intense excitement ‘and as buge flames leaped hundreds of feet into the air, spreading their ghastly glare over the whole town, it was feared that the entire city might be consumed. But happily there was bai little breeze and that which did ‘prevail tended to drive the flames from the town, yet there were cinders at times falling all over town, The factory had stood there thirty years and it has alwaye been thought that if it ever caught fire the town would go with it. The power for the plant was derived fromthe Truckee river.and about the only thing not destroyed are the two “penstocks” and power wheels, which were saved largely by the immense flood of water in the flame running to them. : The loss will aggregate between $150,000. and $200,000. There was some insurance, The company will probably rebuild but on a smaller scale. The origin of the fire is unknown. Birthday Party. Mies Olara M. Nelson gave a birthday party at. her home in Blue Tent last Saturday evening, to about forty invited guests. The evening was spent in dancing and refreshments were served.

An estimable woman of Milwaukee is an earnest member of a local Ger man class, but her method of pronouncing some of the words, at least in one specific instance, aroused the mirth of her companions. At a recent meeting of the class one of the questions in the day’s exercise was, “Are you not glad that you are able to learn German?” This query was in the foreign language, and the answer was, “Ja, gewiss,” meaning, “Yes, certainly.” It so bappened that this particular woman was called up to read the question and answer. She got through the question all right, but convulsed the class by reading the answer this way, “Ya; gee whiz!” Don’t Be a Pest. If you can't oblige people in any other way, you can at least let them alone. Half the troubles of people are due to idle and impudent interference in their affairs. Half the time when you make a vigorous kick there is no kick coming to you. One of the worst habits people have is making each other unnecessary trouble. Life is hard enough at best. Don’t be a pest. If you can’t help others, you can at least let them alone.—Atchisan Globe. Beards In Old Russia.

The factory, dry house, office and part of the lumber yard of the Truckee Lumber company was destroyed by The blaze was discovered by the nightwatchman at about one o’clock and it was scarcely any time from the dis— covery of the fire till the whole immense building was enveloped in flames. ‘Ihe dry, light and highly ioflammable material with which the buildiag was filled and the sawduat ground for years to dust, when a blaze once struck .it, ignited throughout almost spontaneously,The firemen responded quickly and the three hose carts were on the seene in addition to two fire trains and two streams from the sawmill pump that rendered valuable assistance. Though heroic work was done, it was evident from the first that the factory was doomed to destruction and the fire men devoted their efforts and bent their energies to holding the firein check and preventing it from spreading to the adjoining buildings and adjacent property. In spite of their determined efforts the office of the company, situated just across the railroad track from the factory, took fire and burned. The office was separated only by a narrow street from the Kruger residence and the Aker’s house. These buildings were saved, but the intense heat scorched them and broke out all the window lights in the front of the residence, which is quite a heavy damage, particularly in the Kruger home, which has a large conservatory in the front of the house, Most of the lumber yard on the north side of the river was burned over, but this did not contain much lumber, but the flames jamped to the gouth side of the river and before they could be stopped destroyed something like three million feet of choice lumber. The factory had recently been nicely equipped with a lot of new machinery. To fact, some of the machines had not been set up for use, but they were destroyed with the rest. The plant with all its departments was one of the largest and most complete manufacturing establishments of building materials in the State. There was a planing mill, box factory, sash and door factory, glazier department, and equipments for the manufacturing of any wood design used in building. There was a large dry-heuse, a drykiln and an electric light plant in oon3/ nection with the manufacturing plant. The buildings covered several acres of ground and gave employment to handreds of men and ‘boys. all the year round. Four freight cars, the prop= erty of the 8. P. RB. R. Oo., which were standing on the spur along the side of the factory, were burned, as was also a considerable portion of the sidetrack. The fire caused intense excitement ‘and as buge flames leaped hundreds of feet into the air, spreading their ghastly glare over the whole town, it was feared that the entire city might be consumed. But happily there was bai little breeze and that which did ‘prevail tended to drive the flames from the town, yet there were cinders at times falling all over town, The factory had stood there thirty years and it has alwaye been thought that if it ever caught fire the town would go with it. The power for the plant was derived fromthe Truckee river.and about the only thing not destroyed are the two “penstocks” and power wheels, which were saved largely by the immense flood of water in the flame running to them. : The loss will aggregate between $150,000. and $200,000. There was some insurance, The company will probably rebuild but on a smaller scale.

The origin of the fire is unknown. Birthday Party. Mies Olara M. Nelson gave a birthday party at. her home in Blue Tent last Saturday evening, to about forty invited guests.

An estimable woman of Milwaukee is an earnest member of a local Ger man class, but her method of pronouncing some of the words, at least in one specific instance, aroused the mirth of her companions. At a recent meeting of the class one of the questions in the day’s exercise was, “Are you not glad that you are able to learn German?” This query was in the foreign language, and the answer was, “Ja, gewiss,” meaning, “Yes, certainly.” It so bappened that this particular woman was called up to read the question and answer. She got through the question all right, but convulsed the class by reading the answer this way, “Ya; gee whiz!” Don’t Be a Pest. If you can't oblige people in any other way, you can at least let them alone. Half the troubles of people are due to idle and impudent interference in their affairs. Half the time when you make a vigorous kick there is no kick coming to you. One of the worst habits people have is making each other unnecessary trouble. Life is hard enough at best. Don’t be a pest. If you can’t help others, you can at least let them alone.—Atchisan Globe. Beards In Old Russia.
