THE IMPORTANCE OF LUMBER The lumber industry is playing an increasingly important part in the lives and economy of the people of the mountain counties. In Sierra:county, where the Cal-Ida Lumber company mill is located, lumber has’ replaced livestock as the principal source of income. In Nevada county and Placer county, the industry ‘is increasing its activity, and the mountain areas are yielding.-many millions of board feet of pine, fir and cedar annually. The millions of feet of lumber are manifested in the installations of the Grizzly Creek Lumber Co. at Columbia Hill, the Yuba River Lumber Co. and Builders and Consumers Lumber Co. in Glenbrook, Nutting Lumber Co. at Camptonville, Tahoe mill at Washington, the Matson Lumber yard at Hills Flat, and the Cal-Ida Lumber Co. mill and retail yard on the Grass Valley-Auburn highway. : ’ The huge payrolls that come from these cagcsances . find their way into Nevada City stores, and the taxes paid each year by these businesses into the coffers of the county defray a large part of the expense of government. Under the sustained yield unit plan of the U. S. Forest Service the hills of Nevada county, and the rest of the mountain counties, will yield a yearly harvest of timber which may be compared to a well attended orchard. These operations are not going to denude our beautiful playground areas and leave them to grow to brush or leave a gap in our economy when they are completed. Under this plan, timber is a ‘crop that will be harvested as it matures, under the watchful éye of such men as Guerdon Ellis, Tahoe national forest supervisor: And under this plan the economy of these mountain areas will not suffer a setback by the cessation of lumber activities at any period in the future. We of Nevada-county should afford every opportunity to this industry to continue to make its contribution to our welfare. ek . ae A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—Ruskin.

From redding most campaign literature, the voter can be led to believe that this is an election in which the Communists are running a slate of nominees against a string of Fascists. ) In the senatorial picture we have a classic example: Helen Gahagan Douglas, an out and out New Dealer‘Fair Dealer, a dyed-in-the-wool Rooseveltian liberal, is running against Richard Nixon, a true example of the American Republican conservative. For governor we have Jimmy Roosevelt, not a bit less or more New Dealish than his late father, campaigning against Earl Warren, a progressive Republican. And for attorney general Democrat Pat Brown has been labeled a ‘“‘communist sympathizer’ by the weak thinkers of the opposition camp, which is supporting a good conservative Republican, Edward Shattuck. ‘No matter which of these six we elect to office, we will not be herded into concentration camps nor shipped to the salt mines in chains as a result. They simply differ in political tastes as American liberals and conservatives have differed for generations. Such flap-jawed use of invectives as “‘pinko” or “fellow traveler of Reds’ destroys the faith of sensible voters in party leadership. It just seems silly that, with all the war chest donations the major parties can command, and with all the brains they can hire for press agentry, we have to be fed a line of boloney that good Americans are working for the Kremlin while running for office. It is just plain stupid. Our two party system has existed for a long while because there are real, basic differences in philosophy between conservatives and liberals. If the Republican party can no longer stand on its own merits and elect its candidates, then the Republican partv is sick unto death. And if the Democratic party can find nothing but counter-charges in its platform, it is missing its chance to solidify gains so far made. Both can improve their present campaigning techniques by getting at the real issues and trying to convince the intelligent voters accordingly. We have enough faith in the basic good sense of American vo'“rs to know they can pick good officials on the basis of their true qualifications—positive and negative—of those who seek to serve in public office. They are not fooled, for which we can all given thanks, by a flood of propaganda based . on meaningless name calling. ITS A FACT by JERRY CAHILL . Sargent’s History "HISTORY OF NEVADA CITY Nevada City is the largest and most prosperous town in Nevada county, and,is not excelled by any othef mining town in the state. From its location it has command of the tion of the upper country, and will be a formidable rival to Sacramento if a railroad is ever constructed from Sacramento, or the accumulation of sand in the river, now navigable at Marysville, prevents vessels from reaching that point.: “The earliest settlers in this place were Capt.John. Pennington, Thomas Cross and Wm. McCraig, who prospected in Gold Run in September, 1849, and built a cabin there. In October of the same year, Dr. A. B. Caldwell built a log store on Nevada street, back of Main street ravine, and from this circumstance the place was known, till long after as “Caldwell’s Upper Store.” viously built a store at Beckville, four miles down. the creek. In October a man, named Stamps, brought his wife and several children here, and built a cabin on the forks of the ravine back of Coyote street. His wife was the first lady that graced this rough part of creation with her presence. Now, thank Providence, Nevada, with the progress of improvements in other respects, 1S blessed with the society of a large. number of the “dear, bewitching creatures. The first building on Broad street dates back to the last of September, 1849, and was puilt by John Truesdale, just back of the let where the Hotel de Paris now stands. In the spring of 1850, Truex and Blackman built a log store on the spot where the Empire now stands, at the foot of Main street. -, The first hotel opened in Nevada City was by Womack and Kenzie, early in the spring ‘of. 1850, on the spot. now occupied. by Espenscheid’s brick building.” In. April, 1850, the ‘Nevada Hotel, on the site of the present Oriental, was built by J. N. Turner, of rafted pine boards; and what is singular size to which the heretofore unmolested tenants of the forests hereabouts had ‘attained, the whole house—thirty-eight feet front and forty-eight in depth, all the rafters, beams, floors, etc.—were taken out of one tree. The house opened on the first day of May with forty boarders. The moderate price of board and lodging in these 849-50 was of a very severe nature, and the transportation of goods from below was very difficult. In: March, 1850, the snow was ten feet deep on the banks of Deer Creek—three times the depth it has ever since attained. Goods of all kinds sold at’exorbitant rates. We instance a‘few of the staples of those days: fresh beef and pork sold at 80 cents per pound; molasses, $7.50 a gallon; flour. at 44 cents; ‘potatoes, 75 cents; onions, $1.50; calf boots, $20; stout boots from* $30 to $40; long-handled shovels, $16. The only kinds of medicines in the pharmacopaeia of the physicians of those, days were calomel, laudanum and opium, which were administered for all diseases and wounds, with little respect to symptoms. = The first great mail arrived at Sacramento in December, 1849, and an express was immediately started by some brothers named Bowers, who charged the moderate rate of $2.50 for conveying letters and $1 for papers. This was the first express started from Nevada, and remained in operation till superseded by the larger expresses from below. The news of the great mail having arrived below spread through the mines and created a great excitement, It was the first visible token of a real union between the Atlantic States and the wilds of the Pacific, and thousands were gladdened by intelligence of home and friends, separated by thousands of miles of desert and ocean. An important element of the present business of this county is supplied by: the saw mills that are erected wherever growing settlements create a’ demand for lumber. The importance of this. business may be judged of from the fact that there are now eleven saw mills in prosperous operation within a circuit of two miles around the city. The first saw mill commenced in Nevada was on Deer Creek, just above the town, in August, 1850, and was built by Lewis & So, witha water wheel. Shortly after, one Moore erected a steam saw mill on Little Deer Creek, now known as Hirst’s Mill, and in this mill the first lumber in the place was sawed. In Holt’s mill, four miles below Grass Valley afterwards burnt by the Indians, lumber was sawed as early as the 3rd of May, 1850, and the first in the county. 5 The name of “Nevada” was given to this settlement in March, 1850, on the occasion of an election of alcalde. A murder eommitted in the neighborhood, and several other depredations, excited public attention, und the residents concluded that, to. prevent such occurrences, it was necessary some authority should be lodged in the hands of an officer. Early in March, therefore, an impromptu. election was held, at which about 250 votes were cast. Captain Woods, Col: Lamb and O. P. Blackman were judges of the election, and Mr. Stamps was declared duly elected. He held the office for two months, until the election of Olney as Justice of the Peace, at an election in May, appointed by the authorities of the county, and. used to dispense justice in civil and criminal matters with more regard to equity than jurisdicton or precedent. At noon the judges of election and others adjourned to dinner at Womack & Kenzie’s cloth hotel at the present corner of Commercial and “Main streets, and champange. being freely circulated, it was proposed the names by which these diggings had heretofore~been known, viz: “Caldwell’s Upper Store,” and “Deer Creek Dry Diggings,” be dropped, and a new and more euphonious name adopted. .It was finally agreed that each person present should write on a slip of paper the name he would suggest, and the collected names be referred to 2 committee of the whole for a selection of the best. A great many names were written, and among others “Nevada” by O. P. Blackman, which was immediately, on being read, \adopted by the meeting nem. con. Thus Nevada was named.
