Our\cars today are built to travel as fast as most of us want to go—at-speeds unsafe, in fact, under ordinary conditions. It will be just.as well if those road speeds are not increased—at least until the day of broad, separate, one-way highways, lighted for night travel—and until a time when our driving habits have an opportunity to catch up! usr WONDERIN I wonder if the little towns Beside the man made chasms deep, Will hear the thrilling call of life And rise the. welcome tryst to keep. And will the roses bloom again fn withered gardens of the past? Their cool, refreshing shadows cast > i wonder if fifty years isn't rather a long time to struggle with doubts and fears, bitter disappointments and hopes deferred. Yet that is the record established by the gravel miners of this and other gold producing counties of Alta California. These men of presistent faith and redoubtable courage are worthy decendants of our rugged pioneers; [his fact their story proves: “ When the blow fell which banned hydraulic mining along the ancient channels, they resolutely refused to abandon hope. Clinging to the mother lode as lichens to the blasted oak, they watched and waited, worked ana dreamed as the long tragic years passed by. Ditches ran dry, gardens faded, orchards withered and died; many homes were of necessity forsaken, beloved communities became ghost towns of ierras——Little cities that used to be, Whiie over the grimy silent diggings, nature wove her tapestries of concealing verdure. Still intrepid souls scorned despair. Against the darkest threat of ultimate defeat, they backed their dream of happier days to come. A long, dreary battle, but perseverance wins the day; victory is in sight, the dream comes true. And so the gravel miners smile as they visualize water flooding the parched ditches and giving life to radiant gardens and freshly planted oxchards, where homes have been rebuidded and communities restored; water rushing down through long pipe lines to burst with irresistible force from the nozzles of giant monitors and tear down the banks of ouriferous gravels; water leaving the precious metal in sluices especially constructed for its retention and roaring on to deposit tons of debris behind massive dams, whose erection has made the revival of a long prostrate industry possible. And now. to Harry Englebright, whose superb leadership we have followed to final victory, a shrine upon whose altar, incense of grateful appreciation shall burn forever, day and night. : Gallant leader of a cause which, for many years, seemed io be but a folorn hope, of him and of many of his followers, it may well be said; “One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed though rgiht were worsted, wrong would triumph, ae Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.” —A.
