__ MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1939 ‘Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published “ 3 at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE ~ ~ Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at SUBSCRIPTION RATES ; One year (In Advance) .....:.-----.-.-----------$2.50 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. . : CAMPTONVILLE, Feb. 27.—JuTis C. Ramm and son Luke Ramm «ame up from Nevada City a few days ago on @ short visit to their . and Mrs. E. C.

I wonder if we fully appreciate the men who are charged with the duty of safeguarding the lives, limbs and property of the fireman, who, often at the risk of his own life, battles the red demon that threatens to destroy our homes, places of business or entire community; the police officer, who maintains order in and about our cities’ and towns, and in the performance of his tasks, faces countless dangers of which the general public is seldom aware; the highway patrolman, who is entrusted with the responsibility of saving us from our own indiscretions and those of the travThese men are daily performing acts of real heroism, to which they refer as, “‘all in the day's work,” they seldom receive citations, medals or even the gratitude of and for which patrolman—heroes all! Let’s give them a rising vote of thanks—better still, let's make their hazardous tasks easier by observing the laws of the land, the rules of the road, and the ethics of public safety. I wonder why Dorothy Thompson was reprimanded for laughing during the performance staged recently in Madison 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, and mouthing — with Hitler thousands of miles away, manipulating the wires and pepping ‘up the show. What a ludicrous demonstration of remote control! No wonder the lady laughed.Miss Thompson and every other loyal American gifted with a sense of humor, should be given the right of “‘free laughter’ at the expense of the performing bund. But after A We know that this exotic organization is out of place in liberty loving America and that its presence here can serve no good or useful purpose. We dislike the bund—the type of its propaganda, the motley in which it is arrayed and the use it makes of the right to free speech and peaceful assembly; but what can we do about it? It isn’t nice to break windows and hurl ancient eggs, but I do wish we could bundle up the bund
and bundle it back to the fountain of errors from which it “I been pulling pig weed out of my I could pull some of these new isms out of the American soil in which they seem to have tak—A. MERRIAM CONNER. 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. 5 .
