card. Bemused by the rapid and astonishing changes in world
affairs and unduly influenced by exotic propaganda, some)
among us adopted pernicious ideals of life and liberty and
grew sophisticated. These misguided souls called themselves
modern thinkers—intellectuals, who considered it very clever
to criticize the land in which they lived, ridicule her traditions
and condemn her institutions. They were tearers down, uninterested in the processes of correction and up-building; just
human termites gnawing at the foundation of Freedom’s temple and boasting arrogantly the while of _ their powers and
hopes of destruction.
At the present moment, even the most deluded among
us, cannot fail to see what is happening in those lands beyond
the sea, where their own type of ideology flourishes and despots rule; also the organization of subversive groups here in
our midst, enables us all to study their activities at short range,
and answer’ understandingly, the question, “‘whither do they
lead?” > .

White of the mountain's shrouded crest,
Blue of the skies that smile above
The beautiful vales of the Golden West;
Stars that shine with steadfast light
In days of gladness and hours of dread,
Where your whispering folds to the winds are flung,
May you lead the way through the years ahead.

The Tahoe National Forest will enter five pieces of equipment. in the
Fourth of July parade on Monday
morning. The first a replica of Ferdinand the Bull, feeding in the grazing areas of the Tahoe National

group, farmer, logger, miner, all dependent on materials from the forest; replica of a home, that Tahoe
region lumber builds; the fifth, new
red fire truck and slogan, ‘‘Fire protection insures enlarged payrolls.”

SELBY FLAT WAS
ONCE HUSTLING.
BUSTLING TOWN
By Mrs. F. Clayre Szemanski
During the gold rush days of °49
and into the early ‘60’s Selby Flat
and the Round (Mountain Mining District, north of Nevada City was a
community. Miners cabins
ined the road on either side of
ett and Rock creeks, some miners panning or sluicing out as much
as $100 a day. ;
The little town of Selby Flat nestling below Selby Hill, -(about the spot
between Wiman’s Barn and over to
Grahams place) boasted a church of
all denominations, a two story hotel
and saloon with a dance {hall in the
upper story. Stone’s Slaughter House
and Burns and Stone’s store. Directly across was Fred Kisters Blacksmith shop; and Wiseman’s dwelling
and further on @ little family grave

On the front part of this ranch is
an unmarked double grave, which .
in the
“Diary of a 49’er’ as being that of
two miners, one killed and the other . .
dying from a broken leg. They were
“buried on a knoll above Selby Flat.”
The road ran past Austin Ravine to
Townsend’s, now Graham’s, and to
the Jones apple trees and to Selby
Flat school house (now Dunold’s log
cabin) where the 30 children of the
county seat learned the A. B. C’s.
Across the road was Self Rising
Flat—probably a part of Selby Flat,
sometimes called ~Saleratus Flat,
where there were 200 voters. There
were stores (here, a saloon and dance
hall, previously mentioned and other
buildings.
