H. M. L.
In the memory ofthe oldest vot-}
er, no candidate for President has
ever been swept into office by such
an overwhelming majority of both
popular and electoral votes as has
~ President Roosevelt in Tuesday's
landslide. In pur commonwealth, a
Majority is always right and a great
mgjority of perhaps 40,000,000 votnly emphasizes the right. President Roosevelt has the distinction
of being more nearly the unanimous
choice of his countrymen than any
presexnt since James Monroe, who
had but one electoral vote against
him. We accordingly refuse to be
down-hearted even though with our
might and main, in this little corne:
of our country, we strove to influence as many as possible to our way
of thinking. We congratulate the
President on his unprecedented vic>SS
Here and there throughout the
country were a large number of
newspaper publishers und a much
larger number of individuals who
spoke their mind regarding the issues that confronted the people in
the election just past. Individual
citizens working among their friends,
some of them gifted in the arts of
persuasion and reasoning, may have
influenced as many as twenty voters’ one way or another. These individuals would bitterly resent it,
‘were they éven criticised for ex‘pressing their views. The newspaper
publisher, whoever, who does the
same thing through printers ink, and
speaks generally to larger circles
than any individual, very often is
bitterly condemned for exifressing
his opinion or his view, in any controversial matter W.hat an individual does freely in ‘his limited circle,
he often resents an editor doing in a
larger circle. This is one of the
paradoxes in a free thinking, freespeaking nation.
It will be noted however that
those newspaper publishers who are
most downright and outright in the
expression their opinions editorially,
are almost invariably the ones with
the greater circulation. The Hearst
chain is an example, the Scripps papers is another, the Sacramento
Bee in its field outstrips all competitorg_and the Los Angeles Times has
the largest circulation west of the
Mississippi. These newspapers express their views, unafraid. By and
larag, it would. seem, that no matter
how much individual readers may
“differ from ~ editorially expressed
views, they do prefer a newspaper
which does not straddle, does not beg
the question, but does stand _ for
something, some. principle, some
candidate, or some measure upon
which the people must decide.
we
newspapers do exercise an
educational influence in all public
matters is true, but that they nowadays swing any large percentage of
the voters to their point of view may
well be doubted.
That
In the election just concluded,
outside the Solid South where only
a scattered few newspapers failed to .
support the present Administration,
three fourths of the newspapers were
aligned against the. Administration,
There was no cabal, mo conspiracy,
among publishers to plump for Landon. They were moved to prefer one
candidate against the other in practically the same manner and process
reasoning as moves individuals tv
cast their ballots one way or the
other. The three fourtths of the
newspaper publishers failed of their
objective, it is true, but who shall
say their long campaign and their
arguments were tile. Although
they failed of their immediatte objective, in the long run the discus-~
sion, pro and con will bear fruit unquestionably, either in modifying or
changing, it may be in vital phases,
the course of events that make history. For after all from an historical
standpoint, four years in the history
of a nation 160 years old, is only a
small segment of its allotted time.

UNION ICE CO.
ORIGINATED IN »
NEVADA CITY
Ve people in this state realthat’ the Union Ice Company originated in. Nevada City, the first
being where the Fred Satuvee
home now stands. It was built by
Jess Thompson, Mr. Cashin, and one
or two others as a business venture.
The old building soon proved too
small and the present ice plant was
built by Thompson.
Ice was cut in the winter in Prosser Creek, near Truckee, by crews of
men and stored in sawdust
in buildings to be used needed.
Teams and wagons hauled the ice
to Nevada Citv.
of the first ice was cut on a
big pond north of Quaker Hill, then
at Blue Tent and later from the big
ice pond near Brinjons at Blue Tent.

Iee cream was not made in the
winter time those days, kiddies

for signs telling of ice cream for
sale in the spring. It sold at 25 cents
per dish.
Thompson and Cashin handled the
business for a few years and leased
it to Victor Sauvee, father, of Fred
Sauvee, who purchaseed the plant a
few years later, or 54 years ago.
Thompson went to San _ Francisco
and formed a company, retaining
the name ‘“‘Union Ice Company,” and
they started building plants in central and northern California. The .
name is still in use today.
Victor Sauvee drove his own
wagon and Charles Guenther

He started work
there’ when Mr. Sauvee bought the
property. W. B. Celio of Boulder
street, was also in the employe’ of
Mr. Sauvee for a time before he
bought the Plaza Grocery Store.
This section also has the honor
of having the first long distance
telephone line, which was 22 miles
long and used at the Malakoff gravel mine near North Bloomfield. The
line ran from the head office to different parts of the workings.
The Pelton wheel was. originated
by Mr. Pelton when he was in charge
of a mine at Camptonville. Pelton
brought these wheels to Nevada City
to be tested. Mr. Guenther rememice was

CITY COUNCIL
ORDERS 600 FEET
OF SEWERS LAID
The city council last
eluded plans for installing 600 fest .
of sewer from near the head of Nihell street @long the slope through
the Pelix Gillet Nursery to Grove!
street. The cost of the sewer is estimated at $388 which ineludes labor and Pipe costs. Dr. B. W. Hummelt urged that the sewer be completed within two weeks since he
expects to move into his new house
in that time.
The council discussed the cost of
sewage pipe. It was reported that
four’ inch sewage pipe can be purchased in Lincoln for 15 cents a
joint, as against 40 cents joint from
local firms. Adding the cost of hauling the council estimated that they
could save nearly 100 per cent in
the cost of pipe.
Tony Rore and Miles Coughlan appeared for the fire delegates and
asked that the city allot $800 of fire
money, saved from last year‘s budget to complete payment to the Miners Foundryfor a new fire truck,
equipped with engine -and pump,
which the foundry constructed.
The city council agreed to advertise for bids on a city franchise for
a gas and electric utility. This was
Gas and Electric Company. It was
understood that the Pacific Gas &
Electric Company will be the only
bidder and that the company, following the granting of the franchise
will pay to the city a percentage of
its business which would
amount to more than $200 a year.
