big ae oe Rt FG Bly a era i FV ae s ate, oH S¢ . VAN GIESEN DAM IS “just made by William-Durbrow,; Man-,ke ‘puring the early rk the dam was known as Combie his home. PAGE FIVE ‘CHANGED TO COMBE DAM According to an announcement ager of Nevada Irrigation District, to Auburn Parlor No. 59, Native Sons of the Golden West, the name of the beautiful lake on Bear River has peen restored to the original name, Combe Reservoir. oe Combe Crossing at this point on Bear River. has always. been a promint landmark in the history of Ne‘yada and Placer counties until covered with the waters of the new construction Dam -and later changer to Van Giesen. ‘ {he interest taken by the Native gous-in the preservation of the historical landmarks of the state is well known, and in this case the attention. of the Nevada Irrigation District was called to the matter by the Native sons Parlor of Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City and Lincoln with the request for the restoration of the name Combe Dam. : ‘In order to bring about the change it was mecessary for the district to obtain the approval of the State Department of Public Works. This was done and Mr, George W. Hawley, Deputy in charge of Dams, has written Mr. Durbrow that the name of the dam has been changed upon their records and that it is now officially named Combe and will continue to be known as the Combe Dam. This name is especially fitting in honor of Auguste Combe, a pioneer who came here from France in the early days of the gold rush. After mining in this are along Bear River he settled there at what has been known to this time as the Combe crossing until covered by the waters of Combe Reservoir. Auguste Combe, aside from being ofa generous and hospitable nature was considered a student and leader in agricultural methods of his day, and was one of the first to introduce alfalfa into California and likewise was one of the first to construct a ditch by which he brought water from bear River to irrigate his much admired stand of alfalfa, then called “Chili Clover.’”’ He was in a real sense a pioneer of irrigation, now exemplified by the fine system of the Nevada Irrigation District, which has the greater portion of their Combe Reservoir over land originally taken up’ by Auguste Combe. Combe, also was well known in his-day--as-a-fancier and breeder of fine ARrabian horses. One of his horses, a pacer, it is said was sent to Australia and there became famous. Combe had no relatives here, and died in March, 1894, and is buried in Grass Valley. In announcing the change Mr. Durbrow stated for the Nevada Irrigation District their pleasure in being ‘able to assist the worthy idea for the preservation of the names of our pioneers on historical landmarks.
