Occasionally in the news we read of some child being barred from the public schools because it refuses, on estas. of its parents to salute the\Stars and Stripes. The parents ‘as a rule belong to a religious sect called Jehovah’s Witnesses. We have no sympathy with this or other sects whose chief appeal is to the emotions and ‘supersititions of a large group of Americans whose chief weakness ‘is a lack of sound educa‘tion. But-we do hold this barring of cause they obey their deluded and ignorant parents, an outrageous violation of those rights of which the Flag is the bright and _ beautiful symbol. We hold that these fanatical defenders of our Flag, themselves bring shame upon it. Ss ——_____—_— “ Religious freedom is one of our constitutional guarantees, and in the days of the adoption ofthe Constitution due allowance was made for one religious sect, which opposes a public, dath, the ‘Quakers. To this day Quakers and those who believe as they do, meed not swear on the Bible that“they will speak the truth. They “affirm”’ they will tell the truth. If our laws have been made so flexible that the Quaker could be actaking an oath, why in the name of good sense, should little children be denied our schools because a fanatic sect to which their parents belong, opposes saluting the Flag as contrary to divine command. These outrages committed against young children are largely the reboards of trustees by the press, and by organizations intent on eradicating the radicals The mob spirit, the hunting pack spirit tries to ride down all those who do not, believe and practice as the mob does.

The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1936. Washington _ Way to Big Increase In County Payroll Points If only a very few miles of road were improved and graded so that trucks can use them with facility in hauling large loads, it would mean an inerease in business of half a million a year for the county in payrolls and purchase of supplies. This is the gist of a letter to the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce from eight business and mining men of Washington. In response to the letter President Fred E. Conner of the Chamber has appointed a committee consisting of R. J. Bennetts, W. F. Roddy and Judge Raglan Tuttle to make a thorough. investigation of conditions, with the expectation that the. chamber will move vigorously to carry out the road improvement, if the committee reports facts to warrant such action. The letter follows: Washington, Cal. July 12. To the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. Gentlemen: A.survey of conditions in the vi= cinity of our community’ brings to our attention the fact that the development and general prosperity of this district in general as well as. that of our county, is being severely . hampered by the lack of reasonable . transportation facilities. There exists . in our general vicinity many mining . properties in which capital could be . interested, if concentrates or ore, could be transported to the railroad . at reasonable cost. ! Located within a few miles of our particular community is a deposit of many hundred thousand tons of a mineral ore that would find ready sale in the paint industry, if transportation facilities were such as to permit of even reasonably economical operation. The lumber industry in our community is growing yearly, but our investigation has disclosed the fact that due to the lack of even passable roads, the re-manufacturing plant and headquarters of this company has been located ‘outside our county. It is our opinion that if some means of applying this portion of your county with even reasonable means of supplying this portion of and industries now operating would be in a position to so enlarge their operations as to develop for our county a volumn of business in payrolls and supplies purchased amounting to a half million dollars or more per year. It has been suggésted that inasmuch.as federal funds are now being expended for similar development in other communities it might be possible to interest one of the various branches of the federal government having to do with the allocation of the expenditures of such funds. With the thought that your Chamber of Commerce is properly equipped to make such investigation and take sach further action as you may deem proper the matter is respectfully submitted for your consideration by the undersigned. Respectfully, H. O. Kohler, A S. Schwartz, J. A. Crowley, Clyde M. Cole, J. S. Kramer, J. A. Graves, E. J. Haverstock, Martin Vanberg. ADDITION TO COURT HOUSE. NEARLY FINISHED County Clerk Noblé McCormack! and his staff are gradually moving . into. the new addition to the court house. The annex is strictly modern in every réspect. It is built for coolness in the summer time and warmth in the winter. Abundant light flows in through metal sash windows. It is so arranged the old part of the office is lighted by a row. of windows placed just under the ceiling of the old room, where it joins with the new. The new supervisors room opening on the hall and into the clerk’s office is almost ready for occupancy. For $150 the supervisors bought an old bank safe door for the brand new safe deposit vault, and a room has been provided for housing all the switches, for heating, lighting and, later on, for the elevator. Contracts are to be let for two more additions to the court house, one in front and one on the east side. No government assistance, or WPA aid will be asked on these jobs. The porch arches of granite at the entrance are to be moved to Pioneers ‘Park and set up as a historical souvenir of early days. “have CORNISH MINE While driving a 40 foot tunnel at the Cornish mine Mr. W. J. Coffin, owner and operator, discovered two prospectors :panning~ gravel nearby and learned they were making about $9 a day._From examination it is believed the gravel is a continuation of the famous old City of Six channel. The property lies between the Ruby and Gold Hub, southeast of Downieville. Nine men are developing the . quartz ledge in drift operations. NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL IS 60 CT.

The first room at the co1ner of Cottage and Pine streets is the auditorium with stage and seating capacity for 300 people. A modern system for speaking is to he installed over the stage. Next is a corridor that runs’ north and_ south through the building, with another running east and west to Main street entrance where another corridor ex¢ends—threugh—_the—-eenter _to —_ihe north. Several exits’ give plenty of entrances to the building. The main entrance and lobby will be at the corner of Main and Cottage. The whole building will be stean_ heated, with hot air ventilation also in the auditorium, from the big furnace in the basement. Pipes are being laid through the building at this time and conduits are being placed HOW THE NEWMAN the law directed by Sheriff Carl J.

The story of how the long arm of . should commitetrs to hesitate. The Newman brothers fled from murder. They traveled by devious paths and by devious methods. Only a day or two after they dised suspicion upon themselves, a known magazine, came into the Nugget office bought all the recent isall the accounts therein, wrote pictures of the fugitive were used as illustrations. It was months later that an issue of this magazine fell into the hands of the foreman of a construction:job in Arizona, and instantly he recognized the picture of the taller of the two brothers The picture of the other} brother was taken when he was a youngster and was a very poor likeness. The foreman wrote a woman . in Nevada City, regarding his iden. tification of the two brothers, and . asked her to communicate with the . sheriff. This was done. Sheriff To-. biassen at once got in touch with! Arizona authorities, but the New. mans in the meantime had moved . on. Again an anonymous letter to. the sheriff, this time, arrived from another point in Arizona, and this, time the trail grew warmer. A little correspondence established that the Newmans had moved again but they had left a clue to their next destination, near Leadville, Colorado. The magazine which published a} picture leading to the first identification, also offered a reward of $190 . which one anonymous letter writer . brothers for all electric wiring. Sixty four radiators are on hand to be installed. : There are several closets, library, office for principal, Store room and office for janitor, boys and girls lavatories, teachers rest room, clinic rest room and three drinking fountains in the cordidors besides several in the yard. On the Mainstreet side there are three raises in the corridor to place the rooms on levels. with ‘the section of the hall adjoining.

This month’s survey shows 2563 men at work in the gold mines, gravel and quartz. The payroll now aggregates over $35,500 monthly. Most of the increase in employment is in the larger properties. Lava Cap, for instance now employs 225 men. Several smaller mines have renewed operations and exploratory work is being done in many former producers. Reports from various operating mines follow: ORIENTAL PROPERTY It.is reported there is a prospect the Oriental mine at Alleghany will start up shortly.The mine is owned by the same interests that own the} Scoops up Kenton. The Oriental has a rich past production record. ORO FLAME MINE Mr. J. J. Connell of Alleghany, owner of the Oro Flame mine at the above city states in prospecting operations good results are being obtained. Two men are engaged in drifting in the 800 foot long tunnel. PLUMBAGO MINES A survey is being made for the ppurose of raising one or two new shafts-at-the Plumbago mine at Alleghany. From the ninth level to the bottom a cave of serpentine closed the shaft so it is likely it will never be reopened. The new shafts will be necessary to develop the ore. Twenty five men are employed. MONARCH MINE A five stamp mill started operations July 16 and four men are getting the Monarch property in shape for steady production. It was the property of the late J. H. Lee and was inherited by Messrs. Lockhart and Bullock, who have leased the mine to Mr. Orval Holmes and associates of Kansas City. GOLDEN BEAR MINE Mr. Ed C. Uren, mining engineer of Nevada City visited the Golden Bear mine near Downieville a few days ago. Two shifts of men are developing the Cincinnati vein through a drift 180 feet below the surface. REEDER PROPERTY Five men are employed on_ the Reeder gravel property on Shady Creek north of North San Juan. A dredge _ with bucket attachment the gravel, loads it into trucks and it is hauled .to nearby water and washed*in boxes to recover gold. 3 MT. VIEW MINE Mr. J. F. White, superintendent of the Mt. View mine at Washington, ith several men have about half completed wrecking and moving buildings and equipment from the Eagle Bird property to the Mountain View mine. The mill was moved within the last few days. BLUE EAGLE MINE Four men are employed in starting operations at the Blue Eagle mine two miles west of Nevada City, taken over last week by Mr. McCumber and son and Mr. Jack Mauri, of Oakland. -Installation ,of thé mill was made early this week.
