It is as though a veteran prospector of °49 had stepped suddenly into the swirl of modern life, into perplexity and bewilderment.

The increasing demand for supplies, cabins, groceries, beer and wine has forced the proprietor, Mr. Bill Davis, to enlarge the club room to accomodate his increasing patronage. Alterations have just been completed. A large new.dance floor has been laid and a modern amplifying system installed to furnish music at any time of day or evening for the dance crowds that have been making the Gold Pan Lodge their rendezvous. Another beer shoot will be held at the Lodge on Sunday, June 7th; at 1:30 p. m. Fishing is reported as being fairly good in some of the small streams and lakes north of Camptonville.

Here in this picturesque town in the Sierra foothills, the drama and humor of way to the modern, thousand-aThis is our destiny, and though we may mourn loss of the picturesque, perhaps our guiding star knows best. Efficiency brings fuller lives to great masses of people, bringing within their means shoes and food and autos they could never before afford. Even those who produced in the old way and feel at first that progress hurts them, soon become adjusted to the modern way and share its benefits with all civilization.
