YUBA RIVER CANYON’S PICTURESQUE HIGHWAY The recently completed Federal Highway between Downieville, Sierra City, the Yuba Summit and Stattley, in Sierra Valley, represents 31 miles of mountain scenery which in sheer beauty and granduer equals that of the most outstanding scenic spots on the North American continent.

Where formerly a narrow twisting precipitous one-way moun‘tain road» allowed only ‘the most venturesome and hardy to see this scenic gem, todays 20 foot wide road makes available to every -motorist a region surpassingly magnificent. Leaving Downieviile the highwa makes a sweeping turn and finds itself alongside the North Fork of the Yuba River. The canyon walls grow increasingly sheer. Massive cuts hewn out of solid rock enabie it to wind along thebottom of this torturous canyon while still maintaining its straight stretches and wide sweeping turns. -A single strand of telephone-wire is visible, suspended directly. above the river while running up the canyon towards Sierra City. The canyon walls were so steep and rocky the telephone company found it easier to ‘swing wire our over the middle of the stream than to carry it on poles along the canyon sides. At Slate Casile, a short distance been built on a tiny idealiy situateu above Downieviile, a ‘cabin camp owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ed York, has flat: The guests are here fascinatea by being permitted to wash some of the gravel for gold, which even. the miost amateurish novice does not fail to find.

The precipice on, the opposite side has now beceme very rocky and presents a sight that is as unique as it is beautiful. The entire wail from the river up to the erest appears to be solidrock and yet on every part of its precipitous “surface a species of pine trees spring up out of the very rock. Climbing, the road leaves the river with its cataracts and waterfalls below and gives a view of the canyon that is indescribably beautiful. Within a few minutes we are pasing the camp grounds of the .Mottini Brothers. Here the family has lhved for many years and have now set up facilities for campers and others’ wishing cabins. It is impossible to have within the short space of this article a description of this thirteen mile canyon road.

Anyway, more nmewspapermen (met who are in daily contact with all tlasses of citizens) and less lawyers (with all due respect to that very necessary calling) in the legislature and in Congress would be a change for the better, I believe. Couldn’t be muchworse! (At that, any kind of a politician or officeholder is all wrong during times of depression, or deflatation, or what have you). What the west needs most is a few men who will rise up on their hind legs and put over a raise in the price of silver—or passe gold. FIRE DEPARTMENT MAKES — RUN TO WANAMAKE HOME Mondzy morning about nine o'clock the fire department answered a call from the alarm box near, the high school to extinguish a blaze that had started near the stove pipe at the home of Mrs. S. Wanamake. Several boys from the high school were the first to arrive on the scene. They formed a bucket brigade and by fast teamwork prevented what mighy have been a disastrous fire. There was some delay in turning in the alarm by Mis Mamie Wanamake who, in her excitement, was unable to open the alarm box. When the department arrived the high school lads had the fire well under control and but little more water was necessary to thoroughly extinguish the blaze. Owing to th emany peopie who are not familiar with the opening of an alarm box we sugest the following rule be studied closely: First break the thin glass on the small outer box which contains the key; give the latter a _quarter_tum to the right and — the door will open, ‘disclosing "== a lever which should be pulled clear .down once and released. The alarm will then automatically commence. 0. CASE IS DISMISSED ON DEFAULT OF DEFENSE By Special Correspondent. Camptonville, May 26.—-The case of the People vs. James H.

Anyway, more nmewspapermen (met who are in daily contact with all tlasses of citizens) and less lawyers (with all due respect to that very necessary calling) in the legislature and in Congress would be a change for the better, I believe. Couldn’t be muchworse! (At that, any kind of a politician or officeholder is all wrong during times of depression, or deflatation, or what have you). What the west needs most is a few men who will rise up on their hind legs and put over a raise in the price of silver—or passe gold. FIRE DEPARTMENT MAKES — RUN TO WANAMAKE HOME Mondzy morning about nine o'clock the fire department answered a call from the alarm box near, the high school to extinguish a blaze that had started near the stove pipe at the home of Mrs. S. Wanamake. Several boys from the high school were the first to arrive on the scene. They formed a bucket brigade and by fast teamwork prevented what mighy have been a disastrous fire. There was some delay in turning in the alarm by Mis Mamie Wanamake who, in her excitement, was unable to open the alarm box. When the department arrived the high school lads had the fire well under control and but little more water was necessary to thoroughly extinguish the blaze. Owing to th emany peopie who are not familiar with the opening of an alarm box we sugest the following rule be studied closely: First break the thin glass on the small outer box which contains the key; give the latter a _quarter_tum to the right and — the door will open, ‘disclosing "== a lever which should be pulled clear .down once and released. The alarm will then automatically commence. 0. CASE IS DISMISSED ON DEFAULT OF DEFENSE By Special Correspondent. Camptonville, May 26.—-The case of the People vs. James H.
