Mr. Coleman had gone to San Francisco to bring his daughter for an Haster vacation ,a welcome respite from her under construction was studies at a female seminary. But afew days before, James Burns -a Grass Valley lawyer, had been the road’s first passenger. RAILROADING BEGAN AS BOY James McCormack was_ born at Cushing, Quebec, November 16, 1853 —the son of John McCormack and Jane McCallum. As a boy he used to ride on the engine of America’s oldest train on the nearby Carillon and Granville Railway, which ran between the upper and lower rapids of the Ottawa River. On that engine there was no fireman so the engineer had to leave the throttle open while he stepped down to stoke 4 foot hemlock wood. In 1872, at 19, Jim was firing and braking .on the (Central Pacific— mostly between Colfax and Truckee. lor a short time he also ran on the Oregon Division as far as Redding, If a brakeman Was needed——he was brakeman; and if a fireman was needed—he was the fireman. It was less than three years after the completion of the Transcontinental line and hand brakes and Lincoln ‘Pin Couplings were still in use. Toward the end of 1875, Mr. Kidder, then Superintendent of construction on the Narrow Gauge saw lanky young McCormack in the Colfax yards and asked him if he wanted a job as regular fireman on the Narrow Gauge. Jim’s casual acceptance was the start of a career with the short line that lasted through the last quarter of the 19th Century— and nearly a third of the 20th. When he retired in June 1931 for a trip back to the scenes of his boyhood he had rounded out 59 years of railroading of which nearly 56 had been with the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad. PICNIC EXCURSIONS In the early days of the railroad picnic excursions played an important part. They meant an extra train or two—and many. aditional cars. At such times extra help had to be put on. Most of these young men lived in Colfax where they get more or less used to railroading by hanging 2round the CGeniral The boys of Grass Pacific trains. Valley were at,a this" —revard bez ild not permit them depot. McCormack redisadvantage~-in cause Kidder wo around the of Dyer, who used to get frequent extra jobs on. the Narrow Gauge. Finally his Narrow Gauge experience helped him to get a regular job with the Central Pacific. Today, as Vice-President of the great Southern Pacific Company, J. H. Dyer has perhaps forgotten the thrill he used to feel when he wore the extra brakeman’s cap on the tortuous line between Colfax, Grass Valley and Nevada City. : The locomotives were wood burners—and the wood supply used to be washed down the old V flume to Town Talk, from which a short flume carried it alongside the railroad. Each trip, the engine stopped at the wood pile and the fireman, helped by the brakeman and conductor, had to fill the tender with this wet wood. The capacity was four tier and that much was used each round trip. They also had supplies of dry wood at several points along the railroad so. they would not run out. And ‘sometimes the wet wood was also green and then McCormack had to. throw in some dry to get a fire hot enough to,,.keep up the steam. The smokestacks were the old drum type with screens to catch the sparks. Every trip large quantities of cinders had to be removed. During the run, he had very little chance to sit on the fireman’s seat as throwing in the wood was a continuous sort of job. SIDELIGHTS ON LEGISLATURE By United Press SACRAMENTO, Mar. 23—(UP)— The millenium has arrived! It’s advent was marked by:a ‘‘peace pact,’’ formally consummated in the assembly by Assemblyman William Hornblower, ardent wet leader, and. Dr. Clarence Briggs, long a champion of prohibition. During discussion of California's attitude on repeal of the 18th amendment, Hornblower asked the privilege of the floor for the Doctor. The assembly applauded, as permission was granted and the erstwhile antagonists engaged in private discussion. ‘ A moment later the incident took a serious turn. Frank Wright, Whittier, questioned Hornblower’s sincerity. The aggressive San Francisco legislator became angered. “I've Known Dr. Briggs for years,’’ he-shouted,-‘‘and--although~ we-may differ in our beliéfs I hold the greatest respect for the gentleman. I think Mr. Wright's yemueks are out of order.’’ An economy lobby has descended onthe legislature. It is the Common Property Taxpayers” associa‘tion and, led by Lewis Foulke, Gazelle, is an aggressive organization. Contrasting with protests against drastic retrenchments, consolidations and salary cuts are such remarks as this from the plain spoken farmer of Northern California: ‘‘The only kick® we have against the Senate fact finding committe’s economies is they haven’t gone far enough. As for reduction of state employes’ salaries, remember two things; first, the dollar of today is worth 70 cents more than the dollar of 1929; second, the breaking point in taxation has been reached and the _ people won’t stand it much longer unless government costs are cut.” Senator W. P. Rich, Marysville, bears the label of “‘doctor.’’ During a debate over the so-called ‘humane pound” bill in committee, a speaker was soundly berating doctors for using dogs for experimental purposes. During a brief pause, a senator near Rich at the committee table remarked: ‘‘Pardon me, but have you met Dr: Rich?’’ Th espeaker blanched and thereafter tempered his remarks about the medical profession. (P. S. Rich is an attorney). This remark, or something in the same vein, has been made by scores of legislators since the second session convened: ‘It is peculiar how this economy and retrenchment program has reacted on the state. Everybody, without exception, wants to save.*. They have flooded us with wires and_ resolutions preaching economies. But let one logical economy strike their own community, and they’re down here in a minute with vigorous protests.”’ An assemblyman on the fish’ and game committee had been quietly listening to officials and attaches of the state fish and game commission protest .against -a bill providing the state should pay for construction of fish sereens. Almost without exception each speaker prefaced his talk with ‘‘Now, I was farm.” Suddenly this lawmaker interrupted: farmer—and born on a particular “J, too, am a incidentally, a and I bona fide one merely~ observe we haye a surplus of farm-born officials -and LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE MATTER OF THE KESTATE OF HOKAN NELSON, deceased.

Introduced= as-Senate Senator Bert B. jthis name work Bill Snyder of measure would displace present flat fees on heavy vehicles, based on their unladen weight, with license “taxes computed on gross weight and mileage actually travelled. ‘Californians acute road 426-—by¥ Santa are faced with an problem,’’ said Senator Snyder, ‘‘and unless. something is speedily done to require all commercial users of our streets and highWays to pay their fair share of the expense of upkeep and construction, great hardship will result to the entire public. To afford some relief for city property owners who are now taxed for the upkeep or streets worn in large part, through truck use, Senator Snyder proposes in his bill that, after interest and redemption charges for state highway bonds have been met from the proceeds, the balance will be apportioned to the cities to pay for street work. By paying for highway bonds out of this source, Senator. Snyder believes that it should be possible to avert similar demands on gasoline tax funds, thereby enabling the state to take into the highway system enough more county roads to permit entire abolition of county property taxes for that purpose. Thus, the measure is aimed to help both the farmer and city residents, who are overburdened by taxes on their property. , “Each municipality would receive a minimum of $2,000 a year from this license tax,’’ explained Sénator Snyder. “The balance of the fund would then be distributed between the cities on the basis of ‘their population. This should assure every E. J. N. OTT, Proprietor = rs city in the state an ample fund’ for street work, as approximately $4,600,000 would be available.”’ 3 { \ n\ i better.

It saves time and money in food preparation. When a large amount of water is used in cooking meats, much of the juicy meat flavor is drawn into the excess water. The meat becomes tough and tasteless. When vegetables are boiled vigorously in similar use of water, the most valuable and body-building nourishment goes into the water and is usually thrown away. Cooking with little or no water is important then because foods so cooked are more healthful and taste The steady, even heat from the glowing coils in an electric range preserves the flavorand increases the tenderness of the least expensive meats and cheaper vegetables. Electric range cookery _means finer-meals-at lower cost every day of the week. And what is most mportant of all, actual food shrinkage is 20 to 33 per cent less, a cash saving in the household food bill. The best way to know why the electric range does these things is to look at the new 1933 models on display in our local office. Your electric dealer has them too. This year these new electric ranges of finer quality are lower than ever in price. Ask about the easy purchase terms on the new 1933 electric ranges.
