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?” > . Let us hope that when another Fourth of July smiles ‘up on the land, it will find us all united in our allegiance to one flag and one country—and realizing that it is indeed a bless. ed privilege to stand— “With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet And Freedom's banner floating o'er us.” There are no stars in a despot’s flag, so, a toast to our own Star Spangled Banner of the free. Red of the dawn’s first flaming light, 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. —A.

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.
