New Homes In The West
Last week, vetoing a bill to reduce to 30 days the _residence requirements for beginning divorce action in his state,
Governor Roy E. Ayers of Montana declared: “I do not believe that Montana should have the stigma of commercializing
on the unsuccessful and unfortunate marriages in her sister
states.”
At the same time, Chris R. Jones, president of the Caliyear approximately $240,000,000 was expended in new construction in California—and that that construction included
more than 25,000 small new homes. He also revealed that
California is leading the nation in putting new homes and
small farms on subdivided land. be
The types of visitors who build a state—who come to
settle down with their families and invest their savings, labor
and thought in the solid wealth of home and farm, are hardly
to be attracted by the artificial bait of speedy divorce regulations. Governor Ayers apparently foresaw that, and so overruled the contention of legislators that such a measure would
bring some $23.000,000 of “‘divorce-tourist’’ money . into
Montana annually.
And this year a record army of millions of pleasure seekers will tour California from the Oregon line to Mexico,
stay among us and work and earn and spend to make a great
Califernia creater. But we lure them with the native beauty
and rich resources of our state, and with irresistible entertain_ment—not with a “quickie” divorce mill! . Not spectres of
broken homes—but new homes will strengthen real, prosperity, whether in California or Montana.—Contributed.
Let’s Go Back To Work!
The recent assurance of President Roosevelt that the
government is not going in for further federal power development carries a new ray of hope for the man tramping the
streets in search of a job, the man on relief, the man in business and the man: with money to invest.
For what the President said, in effect, was that the utilities need no longer fear to spend the billion dollars normally
required each year for expansion of service and payrolls, because the government has decided against continuing the process of setting un competing shop across the street. If that
policy is adhered to. and the utilities feel safe in expending a
billion dollars in new enterprise, in purchase and wages, it
“will mean a billion dollars less to be spent by government on
doles and make-work relief projects; a billion less of debt and
taxes. It will mean less politics and more employment.
President Roosevelt's sound and timely pronouncement
might well be followed in this state with similar governmental assurance to the tens of thousands of Californans whose
savings or jobs depend upon ability of the utilities to continue
in business. The people endorsed the Central. Valley Water
Project, because it was represented, primarily, as a program
for saving the fertile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta area from
desolation threattned by salt water infiltration; for providing
San Joaquin Valley, threatened by drouth; for establishing
adequate flood control—with sale of power as a by-product
toward liquidating the cost. But today California is confronted
with a short-sighted proposal to convert that great project into
a vast politically-controlled power enterprise, designed to
at WwW up or squeeze out private utilities. Net results of such
action would be the wiping out of a great reservoir of investors’ savings, loss of jobs and swelling of relief rolls.
It seems high time, here and elsewhere, for government
to resolve to stick to government, and give business and industry the “go ahead” signal. Let’s get back to basic American business principles of increasing production and payrolls
through private enterprise. In this state, above all, let’s get
back to the business of building California. Let's get back to
work !—Contributed. .

Square Garden by the German Bund. Puppet shows are usually amusing, and this particular one must have been excruciatingly funny. There they were — black shirted marionettes,

A We know that this exotic organization is out of place in

what can we do about it? It isn’t nice to break windows and

OLD TIMER OF GHOST
TOWN VISITS HERE
F, W. Kufeld, who has practically
completed a new ‘home south of
Grass Valley was a Nevada City business visitor recently. He was born
and reared at the little ghost mining
town of Minnesota a mile from the
Plumbago mine, leaving there with
his family when he was about 19
years of age. His father came from
Illinois in 1852 with an ox team to
Minnesota then a very lively little
town, the creeks and rivers being’
very rich with gold dust and nuggets. :
The site of the town has been
tunnelled unded to mine gold from
an old channel. The tunnel extends
throtigh the mountain to cross under
‘the little old time town of Chipps
tending on through the Bald Mountain mine to Forest. From there the
channel can be traced to connect
with the Ruby Gravel mine on
through the Rock Creek section and
into the City of Six mine near Downieville, it is again picked up to the
north of Downieville in the Monte
Cristo property. This channel extends south into Moores Plat and on
into the Bloomfield section. Mr. Kufeld was a classmate of the eight or
nine Bradubury ‘brothers, Tom being
one that opened the 16-to-1 mine at
Alleghany, he was also well acquainted with H. L. Johnson, discoverer of the famous old Tightner.
Lelanid Smith, head of the division of grazing for the Tahoe National Forest, and James ‘Sowder left
Nevada City today to assist Mr. Padgett, division of state natural reaka Creek ito the Alleghany side exsources on a siow survey today and
tomorrow in the Cisco area.
