The prices are reasonable and the Christmas shopper should not fail to call and inspect this beautiful and complete line of Christmas gift merchandise. ROSEVILLE MAN VISITS NEVADA COUNTY SEAT L. E. Dunlap, well known railroad man of Roseville, was a visitor in Nevada City today. Mr. Dunlap is associated with R. E. Nobel in mining property in this section. Noble, one of the oldest engineers on the Sacramento division and better known as “Rube”’ is the engineer who pulled the advance train for President Hoover’s special. on the recent trip to California. CARPINTERIA MINING have recently leased French Corral. contains well over 160,000 yards of workable gravel. Gravel Mine. Missouri. : MEN LOCATE HERE After about a months inspection of gravel mining conditions in the Nevada City district, E, EB. Caugh and R. G.

He goes back with added obligations upon him through the results of the last election. He will be first assistant to the Republican Whip of the House, Congressman Snell. In addition he will be spokesman for all the Western States in all matters pertaining to mining matters as he is now ranking Republican on the mines and mining committee and the same is true on matters concerning public lands. These are also a result of the recent eletcion which swept the Democrats into control. Englebright is 29th in rank among the Republicans now, and is one of the most powerful ‘Republicans left in the House. The first thing to confront Congress will be the passage of the measure providing for the manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer under state control. . Englebright believes that this will come before the House dn the opening day and he predicts its passage by a large majority. An effort will be made by the California representatives to include in the Dill an ammendment for the manufacture and sale of light wines to protect the states $350,000,000 grape industry which is the second largest. agriculture oe dustry in the state. Due to the fact that the Federal Government as of July 1, 1933 will have a deficit of $2,000,000,000 the passage of the Beer Bill at this time is of great interest as it will provide for $500,000,000 in taxes and be a corresponding relief to the tax payer. If Congress should include the sale of light wines an addi. tional $250,000,000 will be derived from the wine tax and further reduce the serious problem which conaction will be taken on a tax bill unof the pioneers in the House in advocating legalizing the sale of light wines and beer. elected to Congress there were only t 21 out of 435 members advocating such a measure. very first to make a campaign issue of the question. fronting Congress is the payment of the foreign war debt due on December 15 of this. year. his policy in’the past Englebright is strongly opposed to postponement, reduction or amounts due in this payment to the United States. stop’ its present mad pace of spendronts this Congress.

The debts which the Lausaunce Conference reduced among the nations of Burope were largely political debts. The debts which the nations of Europe owe to the United States represents cold cash loaned to them by the people of this country. The American tax payer must not have any burden of these debts placed upon their shoulders. If this money isnot paid by Europe the amount will have to be made up by the tax payers of this country. It is the opinion of Congressman Englebright that Congress will refuse to grant any extension of time’or reduction of the amount due December 15th. ; This promises to ‘be a very busy session of*Congress and at its conclusion of the fourth day of March the -new administration will probably call a special. session. FAST WORK DONE ON FIRE : HOUSE CONCRETE FLOOR The new concrete incline floor for the fire house on upper Broad street is now completed and ready for use. The fire truck is being housed there now. It may be of interest to know that within forty eight hours after work Was begun on the floor, the truck was driven on the floor. The work was done by the contracting firm of Kelliher, and Figurski, Nevada City, under the direction of Herb Hallett, city employe. Two shifts were used to speed up the work, hence the jig time in laying the reinforced concrete floor. A cement’ drive was also put in the back of the fire house.
