Thinking . Out Loud }. Pee evada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA he boc aia hued ine neem eee The Nevada City Nugget helps your city and county to grow in population . and prosperity. By subscribing to, and advertising in the Nugget, therefore, you help yourself. 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.

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. A driver, two and wagon trips to the storage places in as the ice ry few ize plant as Some horses made the spring and summer needed. In the delivery service hauled as far asTimbucktoo, near Smartsville, from the local plant Grass Valley was served. every day and consumed about a ton and a half of ice per day. Iee cream was not made in the winter time those days, kiddies watching the confectionery — stores 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 Park avenue worked about the barn and-ice house on the property when He started work there’ when Mr. Sauvee bought the property. W. B.

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.

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.
