Then, in 1856, a lazy, Canadian hunter-trader named Henry! Comstock wandered in to prospect. He found little gold.

The spring of 1859 brought a tremendous. back-wash of forty-niners from California, along with the usual gang of gamblers and swindlers.

The irony of the situation is that the Comstock Lode. enriched Henry . Comstock and immortalized his name, when he actually had no real claim to the wealth and honor. And the man who had more to do with finding this vast deposit of silver— James ‘Virginia’ Fennyimore, a pioneer prospector-in the Ophir Dig. ; Sings—gave up too soon and sold out t. ; his interests for an old horse and aj _few dollars.

FOREST SUPERVIS OR HERE REPORTS COYOTES RAPIDLY VANISHING . ‘Coyotes which normally winter in the high snow country are scarce this j year, according to reports received by Guerdon Ellis, supervisor of the Tahoe Nattional Forest. These predators take a large to!l of sheep on the summer ranges and any scarcity will be good news to stockmen. Rangers on snow survey trips and other winter administration of the National Forests normally find plenty ofcoyote tracks in the snow, Ellis says. A faw of these predators usuelly migrate to lower country with, the deer and livestock in the fall but a surprising number stay in the high mountains to prey on rabbits and other small animls throughout the winter months. Ellis urges that all stockmen make special ‘effort to reduce number of predators this year. “If each stockman will dig out the few old: rusty traps usually found around each ranch and ‘put them to use, both on the winter and summer range he will accomplish a lot toward reducing his losses,’’ says Ellis. ““Government trappers have been doing a fine! job in getting rid of predators in recent years, but we need an all out war on coyotes, bob-cats, and mountain lions, if we expect to meet the goal in livestock marketing.’’ It is no longer sufficient that we depend upon the efforts of governmental trappers, further, it is the patriotic duty of every livestock owner to reduce losses in every way possible. Predator losses on the Tahoe Forest ranges lastseason may have seemed relatively light to the in+dividual permittee; but reports from all ranges indicate a loss of 169 head of cattle and 1323 ‘head of sheep It was pointed out that not all _. of these losses were due to predators, by L. S. Smith, in charge of grazing on the Tahoe Forest. According to Smith, better herding and control of livestock will greatly reduce losses. This means harder work for herders ‘and stockmen offset by in. come from meat, wool and leather which might normally be lost. PREVIEW OF GUBERNATORIAL _ of the campaign will be that of war time leadership, with Governor Cu?-' bert L. Olson urging the folly of, switehing. horses in mid stream, sae his: opponents—or opponen:t—cha7ging that he has demonstrated a lack ;of the qualities California.requirer. iin a chief executive during the tryiug days ahead. Already to ‘be heard are rumbles that Olson’s record is proof of. his inability to achieve the stature of a leader of all the people of Califor. nia at a time when political differ. enees should be forgotten—that in a {time of a crisis he is adhering to a policy of ‘“‘rule or ruin” and that it ; Will ‘be ‘impossible under him _ to ‘reconcile the divergent interests of . California so that they can unite to . achieve maximum results in oe . war efforts. Olson critics seek to give point tO . ; their argument by citing the legis-. . latre’s protracted wrangle over the' . state guard. The delay in working out) la satisfactory’ guard formula, they} . declare can be laid squarely at the . governor's door, and furnishes but one more instance of his ingrown un-! willingness to bend his will to the
legislative branch of government, or to compromise with those who hold different political convictions from his own. : The legislature, administration eritics assert, has saved the taxpayers of California at least $125,000,000 by blue penciling Olson demands for unnecessary funds, and they flatly state that the state’s ability to finance vital defense requirements is possible not because but in spite of the governor. ; .

Woodlake, Kenny has been actively . campaigning for several months. though rumors persist that he is more interested in seeing Olson defeated than he is in being elected himself. These same rumors hint that he may drop out of the fight unless he can develop greater evidences of strength in the near future. Garland, for wanom Democratic sentiment has been growing in tr; past few months on the basis of his legislative leadership, has not yet ;given any public indication of his intentions. : LEGAL NOTICES OF PARTNERSHIP DOING BUSINESS UNDER A : FICTITIOUS NAME No. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned K R.
