M. kL.While the Japanese are perpetuating the familiar atrocities of war upon Chinese cities, bombing and machine gunning unarmed men, women and children, and the Spanish insurgents and loyalists are hard at the work of butchering each other, armed or not, and all the world hovers on the brink of another bloody deluge, there is to be found a grain of comfort here and there in efforts and influences that make for peace. Lord Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and _ the world’s Chief Scout, in bidding farewell to the 28,000 boy scouts assembIed in a world encampment in HolJand, pleaded for world peace and good will. These boys of the many different. nations represented there, associating in this great gathering, surely cannot go home with anything but a feeling of friendship for their fellows. Nationalistic schools such as those instituted in Genmany, Russia, Italy and Japan, cannot kill all those seeds.of comradship which have been sown in 28,000 boyish hearts. Again there are Rhodes _scholarships that each year enable two score or more of American youths to enter Oxford. These young men are carefully sifted as regards scholar ship, sterling character, ahd qualities of leadership, so that they represent the very best in American life. These men, of course, function as a peace factor between England and the British commonwealths, and the United States. But the training they receive gives them a broad tolerant outlook upon world affairs that really fits them for leadership in the work of fostering those international relationships that help the cause of peace. Rotary International is rapidly extending its sphere abroad and at home and this is also a factor that, in time, will help to establish peace. The fellowship of intelligent men drawn together in great international conventions is an aid to breaking those prejudices and racial antagonisms in which war is rooted. The Rotary also promotes correspondence between students in the secondary schools of all countries and these letters exchanged between the youth of one nation with another, assist in developing understanding and good will. \ We have a high respect for Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who, by reciprocal treaties, is slowly leveling tariff barriers that have served to thwart and balk nations which are not so well endowed with natural resources as is the United States. We suspect that long after the New Deal administration has been forgiven and perhaps forgotten, the work that Hull is doing will be remembered and recorded in history, as one of the mile stones on the road to world peace. For ‘so shines a good deed in a naughty world.” We live too close to our times and the conditions: that prevail to form unbiased judgments such as those that historians are able to pronounce after the mists of Time have lifted. “Tt may be that ‘those who cry that President Roosevelt is beggaring rich men and pauperizing poor men, live so much among trees that they cannot see the forest. But assume that the President is really concerned, sincerely concerned, in making the lot of the “common man”’ better and happier in this country, it would follow logically ‘that he is also concerned in helping the rest of the world a little way toward that high standard that American civilization has attained. Because, when entire nations suffer from the lack of vita) necessities, it is hardly possible to provide American citizens with what seem to them necessities, but which our fathers a generation ago would have looked upon as silken luxuries. In other wods unless there ts a sharing of the world’s good things, unless they be made available to all, those who for one reason or another are now denied them, will prefer war to deprivation. At any rate, we are glad to give the New Deal administration credit for the work that Secretary Hull is doing in promoting world peace by means of gradually lowering tariff barriers, thereby making it possible for nations, naturally less well endowed to sell the thing, they produce to us, and in turn to buy-.our products at prices they can afford to pay. ; Pete Flowers , of Alleghany ‘was a business visitor. in Nevada City yeaterday.

Increases in output were recorded in most of the counties of the state. Plumas county output rose over four fold due to OXe . panding operations at the Walker: copper mine and Kern county almost doubled its production. Nevada county continued to be the leading producer of the state by contributing one quarter of the total output of the state, Sacramento county was the only important producer to show a decline.

Hubbard and daughter, Miss Juanita Hubbard of this city, returned Tuesday August 10, from a 6,500 mile trip into old Mexico going as far as Mexico City. Leaving, Nevada City they went through Nevada state. They visited Brice Canyon, Zion Parks and North Rim, and Yellowstone National Park. In New Mexico they called on friends at Chino Copper Company mine. There ore is handled by steam shovel from an immense open pit. From El Paso they went down the Rio Grande river to Laredo, Texas, on the (Mexican ‘border which is 764 miles from Mexico City. The labor situation in Mexico was found to be unsettled, the communistic emblems, hammer and cycle, are seen on houses in different places. Mr. Hubbard stated that the govern. ‘ment does not allow use of any new inventions which will displace labor. In case a domestic servant is dismissed she must be paid three months in advance. Millions live on. practically nothing, a few chickens, pig, alittle corn, a few sheep. The weather is always mild and shacks are of bamboo or grass. An ancient, primitive form of citizenship prevails in the country, while Mexico City is as upto-date as Chicago. Mexica City is 7,500 feet high and it was noticable that people hurry everywhere. Traffic was a “blow the horn and go system’’ but the = stop and go ‘system is being installed. It is hard to get about through the crowded streets with the poor traffie methods. Streets are narrow and traffic is often one way with three lanes going in the same direction. They found Mexico City was not as warm at it is in Nevada City and Grass Valley. Mexico City has the most beautiful opera house in the world. The Diego Reivera murals in the National Palace were deeply fascinating portraying historical facts of ancient Mexico from Aztec time on. The home of Cortez has been restored by two Mexican girls and is used as an inn. The city of Tesco, which retains the old world Spanish type buildings and customs has been made into a national monument. Anyone building a home must follow the old designs. Mr Hubbard stated that the sight og a voung Mexican girl trotting along the road to market with a heavv burden on her back impressed him greattiy. She had a strap about her forhead to steady the load, and on one shoulder a large fuzzy ball. At her side was a spinning wheel and she was spinning thread as she went along losing no time. She spun a fibre from the maguay plant which would be used in making clothing and rugs. The juice of the maguay is used to make several strong drinks. The plant has many other uses. The only hot weather encountered: on the trip was through Texas, Arizona and Southern California. It took nine days to return home from Mexico City. RICHARD TRATHEN IS NEW MAYOR OF 6. V. At last Tuesdays ‘meeting of the Grass Valley city council, Mayor John Harris, unexpectedly and with out explanation, handed in his resignation to the council. Richard Trathén, hoistman at the Pennsylvania mine and fourth ranking candidate at the municipal election in May--was appointed to the vacancy. _Miss. Florence .Meijervey of Oakland is spending two weeks vacation at the home of her mother, Mrs. W. .E. Meservey at Town Talk. Edward C. Uren, and B. L. Eastman spent several days in Trinity county inspecting mining properties near Weaverville and Hayfork.

FORESTRY SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION E. Prichlin, out of the San Francisco office, is conducting a school of instruction for supervisors and assistant supervisors of the Tahde National Forest at Big Bend Ranger Station.

Wrest deposited bail, $500 aa and was released. Time for sentence was fixed at next Thursday. Bayes testified that he saw . Willard Mattteson and Wrest stoop over a pool and slide something into the water, and then retreat from the spot. Presently a water spout arose. declared he then stepped forward and accused the two of blasting fish a#nd declared he would report them, as he subsequently did. some reason, s not arrested along with, Wrest, though Bayes testimony would indfcate that both were implicated, on the witness stand flatly declared that Bayes had no dynamite and did no dynamiting. Game Warden Ear] Hiscox testified that three days later he visited the scene and found dead fish, large ones still well preserved in the bottom of one-of the pools. He also produced a stick of dynamite he haé found in the water, that had failed to explode, but his testimony failed to show that these incidents had any connection with ‘the guilt or innocense of Wrest. Attorney W. &. Wright for the defense called Mr. Gilbert and Eugene Browning and finally the defendant, Bayes ‘ wrest to the stand. Browning’s testimony was to the effect that he had accompanied Wrest on his trip to the mines of Davis and Meloy where he expected to deliver a wire cable for mining purposes and did. deliver a welding torelf; and on the trip and . during the time. he was with Wrest, he saw no dynamite in the car or later. Gilbert testified to seeing dead fish in the stream as did all the witnesses, some estimating that there were two hundred or more there. Wrest ‘stated that he lived in Nevada county for the past four or five years, that he was a mechanic and_ had worked in garages and was now engaged in selling mining machinery. He had denied his guilt, submitted to arrest and had secured bail following his arrest. He stated that on his client, picked up a 32 rifle in the Gilkey house and had practiced shooting with it. He said that he brought over some ammunition to leave with the owners of the gun, the gun-had made pracwas inferred, Bayes had heard and mistaken for dynamite blasts in the river. However, Bayes stated while he had been on the stand that he had seen no gun, and Wrest stated he had left the gun lying on some rocks when he was accused by Bayes of dynamiting fish and through the subsequent argument. Bugene Bowning, employed by Wrest as a helper, apparently was not seen fby any of the other witnesses since no questions were asked to develope such testimony. In closing District Attorney Stoll referred to this fact. The boy, though no relative of the accused, was in his employ, and it was possible, he stated that this fact might have influ-. enced his testimony. The district attorney called attention to the de-+— fendant’s admission that he ha picked up four or five of the dead fish . cated that he must have known that these fish had not died of anything to make them unfit food, else he would not have taken the trouble to carry them home. Attorney Wright declared that there was no evidence of any kind that Wrest @id any dynamiting. If West was guilty he asked, why was not Matteson, equally guilty since — Bayes testimony implicated both. He called attention to Bayes statement that he saw the two men slide something into the water. If they were really setting off dynamite he contended the two could have thro the dynamite into the pool. Wright maintained that Bayes could have heard the dynamiting if it had been exploded, for the reason thi the water would have ce smothered the sound. — The jury cciaalatad of th ing: Louise P man, Carl dieses July 16 he had, while waiting to see mois and had taken them home.

Millions live on. practically nothing, a few chickens, pig, alittle corn, a few sheep. The weather is always mild and shacks are of bamboo or grass. An ancient, primitive form of citizenship prevails in the country, while Mexico City is as upto-date as Chicago. Mexica City is 7,500 feet high and it was noticable that people hurry everywhere. Traffic was a “blow the horn and go system’’ but the = stop and go ‘system is being installed. It is hard to get about through the crowded streets with the poor traffie methods. Streets are narrow and traffic is often one way with three lanes going in the same direction. They found Mexico City was not as warm at it is in Nevada City and Grass Valley. Mexico City has the most beautiful opera house in the world. The Diego Reivera murals in the National Palace were deeply fascinating portraying historical facts of ancient Mexico from Aztec time on.

The city of Tesco, which retains the old world Spanish type buildings and customs has been made into a national monument. Anyone building a home must follow the old designs. Mr Hubbard stated that the sight og a voung Mexican girl trotting along the road to market with a heavv burden on her back impressed him greattiy. She had a strap about her forhead to steady the load, and on one shoulder a large fuzzy ball. At her side was a spinning wheel and she was spinning thread as she went along losing no time. She spun a fibre from the maguay plant which would be used in making clothing and rugs. The juice of the maguay is used to make several strong drinks. The plant has many other uses.

Wrest deposited bail, $500 aa and was released. Time for sentence was fixed at next Thursday. Bayes testified that he saw . Willard Mattteson and Wrest stoop over a pool and slide something into the water, and then retreat from the spot. Presently a water spout arose. declared he then stepped forward and accused the two of blasting fish a#nd declared he would report them, as he subsequently did. some reason, s not arrested along with, Wrest, though Bayes testimony would indfcate that both were implicated, on the witness stand flatly declared that Bayes had no dynamite and did no dynamiting. Game Warden Ear] Hiscox testified that three days later he visited the scene and found dead fish, large ones still well preserved in the bottom of one-of the pools. He also produced a stick of dynamite he haé found in the water, that had failed to explode, but his testimony failed to show that these incidents had any connection with ‘the guilt or innocense of Wrest. Attorney W. &. Wright for the defense called Mr. Gilbert and Eugene Browning and finally the defendant, Bayes ‘ wrest to the stand. Browning’s testimony was to the effect that he had accompanied Wrest on his trip to the mines of Davis and Meloy where he expected to deliver a wire cable for mining purposes and did. deliver a welding torelf; and on the trip and . during the time. he was with Wrest, he saw no dynamite in the car or later. Gilbert testified to seeing dead fish in the stream as did all the witnesses, some estimating that there were two hundred or more there. Wrest ‘stated that he lived in Nevada county for the past four or five years, that he was a mechanic and_ had worked in garages and was now engaged in selling mining machinery. He had denied his guilt, submitted to arrest and had secured bail following his arrest. He stated that on his client, picked up a 32 rifle in the Gilkey house and had practiced shooting with it. He said that he brought over some ammunition to leave with the owners of the gun, the gun-had made pracwas inferred, Bayes had heard and mistaken for dynamite blasts in the river. However, Bayes stated while he had been on the stand that he had seen no gun, and Wrest stated he had left the gun lying on some rocks when he was accused by Bayes of dynamiting fish and through the subsequent argument. Bugene Bowning, employed by Wrest as a helper, apparently was not seen fby any of the other witnesses since no questions were asked to develope such testimony. In closing District Attorney Stoll referred to this fact. The boy, though no relative of the accused, was in his employ, and it was possible, he stated that this fact might have influ-. enced his testimony. The district attorney called attention to the de-+— fendant’s admission that he ha picked up four or five of the dead fish . cated that he must have known that these fish had not died of anything to make them unfit food, else he would not have taken the trouble to carry them home. Attorney Wright declared that there was no evidence of any kind that Wrest @id any dynamiting. If West was guilty he asked, why was not Matteson, equally guilty since — Bayes testimony implicated both. He called attention to Bayes statement that he saw the two men slide something into the water. If they were really setting off dynamite he contended the two could have thro the dynamite into the pool. Wright maintained that Bayes could have heard the dynamiting if it had been exploded, for the reason thi the water would have ce smothered the sound. — The jury cciaalatad of th ing: Louise P man, Carl dieses July 16 he had, while waiting to see mois and had taken them home.
