San Juan wins the honor of Queen of the Quite fitting that a Ridge girl should. wear “Adele Cunningham of North San Juan Fiesta. the royal on the initial celebration of a But the mher five gitls all deserve praise and robes big Ridge ‘‘come back.’’ commendation, along with the for all the hard work and boosting they did for that event. Back of it all stood: the San. Juan Improvement League, a well organized body of neighbors along the Ridge, who have decided that that section needs a rebirth. This, imdeed, is what the Ridge is experiencing. Queen tidge And now after the great sticcess, which will have attended the San Juan Iiesta, with its co-incident reunion of old friends and neighbors, its concourse of: people drawn from the valleys to the mountains, ana its throngs attracted from nearby points, why not other celebrations, other jubilees, other local fairs, other merry-makings, that will serve not only to awaken the communities in which these-events take place, but to arouse a wider interest in. their eharm and resources? Sheriff Cox of Sacramento County believes in adhering to the letter and the spirit of the law apparently. Three men accused of murdering Chief of Police Fish of North Sacramento, are in his custody. He has removed them to Folsom where he announces he will keep them until it is time for them to appear in “court. We have always believed that any intelligent sheriff, if he respect‘ed his oath and the law, could prevent men in his custody from heing murdered by mobs. After the lie detector comes the jaugh meter. ‘A Unive rsity of California psychology experimenter has evolved a machine which measures the muscular and mental reactions to a joke. Of course reactions to the same joke will vary widely with the individual, and thus corborate other significant traits of the individual undergoing psycological examination. The President has set aside the western point of the Aleutian archipelago as a naval airbase which civilian pilots are forbidden to enter. It is known that among high naval authorities similar plans are contemplated for Wake, Midway and Guam islands. These measures, when and if, taken by the United States will be highly. distasteful to Japan. If that country had desired to keep the United States from fortifying and establishing airbases: at the. four places naméd th,ey had only to’ adhere to Washington naval treaty which especially provided that Wake, Midway and Guam should not be fortified. However, Japan, acting within her rights, denounced the . ; treaty. The United States after January 1, 1936 will not be bound by it, and in view of the tremendous warlike spirit which animates the little brown people, it is probably just as well to set up a few well-placed sentry boxes in the Pacific. The treasures that misled Italians to fondly believe are to ‘be had for ‘the taking in Ethiopia, according to a writer in the New Republic, are mot there. Tales of El Dorados, treasures in soil, in minerals, in oil, are frequently heard to be sure, but none of them have been important enough to enlist any amount of capital in’ their exploitation. Undoubtedly under modern systems of agriculture the land could be made to yield more. But none but a dreamer would wish to pay the enormous price Italy must pay to acquire it, a price of. thousands of lives and huge expendtiures of money. FOUR OUNCE NUGGET SOLD Last Thursday Mr. Hal D. Draper, jocal assayer, purchased a gold ngget of unusual beauty that weighed about 4,2 ounces: and was shared something like a mountain oak leaf, from Louie Pavoney. The big nugget had been picked up in the bed of Deer Creek not far from Nevada City. Mr. Draper stated it was stream gold, as it had evidently been in a channel for a long time on account of the fineness which was eri i ed at 900 or better.
