Mondays at Nevada City, California, ard entered as mail matter’ of the second class in the postoftus at Nevada City, under Act SUBSCRIPTION RATESOne Year. zny address in California, in advance t of Congress, March 3, 1879. Outside Ceaifornia, in U. S. Three Months @ne Month 25 A kegal Newspaper of General Circulation for Nevada City and Weeds County, as defined by legal statute. Printed and published at Nevada City. Arthur, A. Willoughby Editor and: Publisher . Associate Elsie P. Willoughby COZY CORNER CHAT WITH THE BEGINNING of re-; building operations at the. turpen. tine refinery Nevada City can confidently look forward: to an industrial payroil of considerable dimensions, in the next year or so. It the mistakes in building the first plant in the matter of fire hazard will berepeated in the new plant. A complete new plant isto be installed and of American: manufacture instead of the foreign type used before. The ‘raw product obtained from our pine trees has been proven to have a better refined product in resin than the United States government standard, particulaly in the bright yellow color, almost a clear amber. That factor is doubtless what impelled: the Fuller insterests to proceed with the rebuilding of the plant. With a well nigh inexhaustible supply of raw product available there is no reason why the operations should not prove highly profitable to the operators as well as Nevada City. The Nugget is proud of the part it played in the early commencement of the industry here at a time . when many of the timber owners! were fearful lest the mistakes made . in tapping operations in the Southern states where whole forests were destroyed, would be repeated. The tapping so far conducted has proven that the light method used locally does not injure the trees for continuous flow of gum and that the trees. are-in.a vigorous condition.The proceeds from the tapping operations will prove a bonanza _ for the owners of timber acreage who have had a lot of it on hand largely . . . useless for revenue aside from wood cutting. The digger pine, largely considered useless except for. wood, has now been shown to have a gum that is excellent for the making of resin and the various by-products. Nevada City has a big industrial future in’ prospect. THE WORK OF OUR Chamber of Commerce in sponsoring the improved street lighting for the business district is to be:-highly commended. Its first move in this re-. gard was the flood lighting of the court house and now with the new street lighting almost an: assured fact, the Chamber has proven its capubility as a civic improvement organipation. The Chamber is the one male organzation in any community which does not have membership réstrictions and in this regard it is essentially an institution which should be generously supported aftall times. Its work in sponsoring a Class A airport is worthy os . of note and. it is to be hoped -that its efforts will be crowned with suceess. THERE IS A CHEERFUL sound about the toot of the little narrow yauge as it makes its meandering trip to and from Colfax each day. We may’ poke fun at its appearance in jest but it keeps us on the map THE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Edited Weekly by‘ the Students, Nevada City ie —o Editor Katherine Parsons Senior Reporter, Kathleen Greenaway Junior Reporter Bill Jeffery~ Sophomore Reporter Bill Tamblyn Freshmen Reporter Earline Sutton Athletic Reporter Harrison Randall WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY (Editorial) By Katherine Parsons Another birthday anniversary of the Father of Our Country was celebrated — during the. past week, on Saturday, February twenty-second. : Every American . knows a great deal about Washington's life. Of his character, the most important thing to remember is. that Washington was distinguished less by the brilHancy of his talents than. by his moral strength, sound judgment, as nothing else can. Look up your map of the United States and see if there are any cities of consequence off thé line of a railroad, If Nevada City and Grass Valley are to maintain contact with the outside world they will have to support their railroad ‘in sufficient amount to keep the wheels moving, It is a vital matter to the. communities that their railroad be kept: intact as well as for those public spirited citizens vho rescued it from the brink of lisaster. Patronize your home railroad! AAW: SENIOR CLASS MEETING ‘Thursday, February 20, the Seniors held a class meeting during the seventh period. In order to create interest in the literary work . of the Gsill, it was! decided that a prize of five dollars , should be given to the best story or sketch of fifteen hundred words, and honorable mention to the second best. A prize of two and onehalf dollars will also be given to the best poem with honorable mention to the second best. A class motto was discussed and several read but none was decided upon.

He went out to a pub¢ lic telephone at the drug store to got there, the fi was to the Telephone Company, and he said: “Come and talk to me about a telephone before the next send a private call. But when he rst call he sent AND YOU CAN HAVE IT fCR 4 FEW CENTS A DAY rain!’’ girls decided and plain but excellent uuuerstanding. . ; The position that George Washington has in American History was stated in a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives five days after his death: ‘First in War, first in Peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen”. We know that this resolution was and still is true. It is well to remember that from the time Washington drove the British out of Boston,’March 1776, until his death he was the foremost man on the continent. Today Washington holds “a large place in our hearts because of his unequalled part in founding, establishing, and making our nation what it is today. ATHLETIC NEWS * Grass Valley Vs.
