Ee Clampus_ Vitus, organization of the oe pioneer days, will spring into exis~’ ‘tence again, and Bill Meek, justice of the peace and “Mayor of Camptonville”’ is making preparations for the revival of this notorious order. The originators of the revival will jeave San Francisco in a pilgrimage at noon on the 28th, arriving av Camptonville by evening. They have chartered the hotel Francis, and Mrs. Labadie, proprietress is preparing to give them a series of gigantic meals The next morning they will journey to Nigger Tent, Mountain House, Alleghany, Forest City, Goodyears Bar, Sierra City and Downieville, returuing to Camptonville by way of Oak Valley and Railroad Hill. Sunday evening, a githering of mirth and fun presided over by Meek, storyteller exitaordinary of northern California, and at this meeting the election of officers, and reception of petitions will take place. Each member is an office holder, and all officers are of equal indignity. On the evening of the 28th the local Masonic order is staging a big all night benefit dance, in which it is expected the Clampers will join. On the 30th the delegation will journey homeward, visiting the other old mining towns along the way. C©arl I.

Parker Lynn, southern ~ Galifornia historical stamp collector,
and many other prominent citibens of the bay region and southern part of the state, include the membership chartering the revival of the order. Bright lights will be burning and once again as in the days of yore, the old town will hold forth the “spirit of the days of ‘49, reviving a time when men knew no depression, allowed no suffering, made men out of fools, Christians out of infidels, and -knocked the bottom. out ot grafting politicians. ae Pelton monument, ‘'hat are gone—so is Downieville, . _ €amptonyille has come forth dur_ ing the past few years with several _ remarkable events, the erection of the total first trip to Sacramento, although they have passed..through Sacramento a number of times enroute to games at Susanville, Reno and Lodi.

Industrial League title for 6 consecutive times and have already established themselves in the 1932 Championship series, with four wins and one defeat. All members of the M J Team are actual employees of California for health; sport and enjoyment. Over 95 per cent of these vacationists were motorists: Realizing the fire danger that goes with this heavy influx of visitors and the necessity of taking every possible precaution to prevent fires from starting, the Forest Service recommends the following equipment for motorists and recreationists: A stove burining kerosene or gasolineis much safer and more ¢convenient for cooking than an Open camp fire. : A mechanical pocket lighter is very useful to smokers and does away with the danger of starting a fire by carelessly discarding burning matches.

(Continued From Last Week) Just as the giant redwoods are living monuments to the centuries nestling at the bettom..of the Yuba. cayon where the~north fork of the north fork empties into the North Fork, a continuous and glamorous reminder of the days when men worked fe¥erishly in their search for virgin gold and unwittingly laid the foundation for a vast empire. The Yuba river canyon country is the frame and Downieville the picture. At the first glimpse it captivates the beholder and its spell never departs. The green roofed two story court house, with its lofty ceiled court room; its abrupt steps to the attic that have caused a man to die with a broken neck; its half basement where alongside the cells of the county jail massive hewn timbers of the foundation, in perfect condition, still support the structure; the yard. with its carpet of green grass and the cool shade of the ancient trees; the gallows re-erected several years ago by the then sheriff, George Bynon, who is interested in preserving the historic lore of the region;—all of it standing on the only piece of virgin ground. left unworked by the early day miners. Its reputation in this respect, however, was nearly lost several years ago. A county official down in the basement of the courthouse thought he detected a _ faint systematic thumping. His suspicions being aroused he started a careful search over the entire premises and found the opening to a small tunnel through which one of the old time miners (who by the way is still working near .Downieville) haa started to recover the gold under the been employed by: them ‘less than two years.

"Tuousanps of housewives in CALIFORNIA—more than 3 million in America, have found that electric refrigeration saves money on food. It reduces wastefulness caused by food spoilage. Lettuce, celery, stay fresh and crisp, tomatoes stay firm and easy to slice—milk, butter, meats, and fruits stay fresh and wholesome. Important, too, is that every day may be bargain day at your grocer’s and butcher’s when you can store away food specials in your electric refrigerator. Even in the warmest of summer weather, when things don’t “keep”, you can trust adequate refrigeration to preserve your perishables in the finest condition. Can you afford to-postpone much longer these opportunities for more thrifty living and the many conveniences as well, that electrical refrigeration brings? Ask about the very easy terms-on-which you can own an electric refrigerator. Make this practical investment today.
