THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
In another column will be found a news story regarding
the visit of Dr. William H: Walker, of the Republican State
Central Committee.
Mr. Walker is an able man and we believe, a sincere man
and his arguments, ess carefully analyzed, might lead us
to the opinion that the salvation of the country depended on
the election of Herbert Hoover. But there is one fundamental
question that Mr. Walker did not dispose of to our satisfaction
and that is: Why is it that under the Republican way of doing things the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer?
_ Well, Mr. Walker thinks that would be the case even if
the Democrats were in power, and maybe it would. But the
average everyday citizen cannot help but wonder why it is
with all the wealth of the United States, with surplus in almost
every line, that millions of people are hungry and destitute.
Maybe the Democrats can't change this condition, but there
is a great mass of people in the United States who are hoping
that they can and who believe, at least, that they will try.
The criticism is directed at Mr. Roosevelt that his prom-jises are vague; that he is promising things that he cannot
.earry out. On the other hand, what of the promises of the Republican administration? Go back to 1929 and read the glow
ing, idealistic words of Herbert Hoover, president-elect. He
painted a picture of prosperity and wellbeing that was based
on conditions which, even at that time, contained the germ of
the stock market crash that soon followed. The contrast with
the conditions which exist now it too great. There was not a
word of warning of impending disaster, which Mr. Hoover
should, with his knowledge of world conditions, at least
have faintly foreseen, if not expected.
If Franklin Roosevelt is promising things that cannot be
carried out, we find the Democratic platform very definite and
clear on certain things that the American people are intensely
interested in’ for instance—prohibition.
To the editor of the Nugget there is one thing that stands
out in comparing the platforms and policies of the two parties
and that is that the Republican administration has been trying
to bring back proseprity by loans to corporations through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation. There can never be a
return of prosperity until the millions of unemployed are back
at work again. That is the one and only thing that will speed
up business and restore prosperity. And that is what the
Democratic leaders propose to do.
A\s far as the economic rehabilitation of the United States
is concerned no sane man believes that Roosevelt and Garner
can work any miracles or bring about any quick change. But
the promises of Herbert Hoover have ceased to cheer up the
great mass of the people and they are willing to take a chance;
in othet words the average man thinks things could not be
~ much worse and he wants a change, a new deal, new leader.

Newspaper item as_ follows:
“Henry Ford today repeated his advie eto his workers that ‘‘President
Hoover must be’ elected to prevent

them get better.’’” ‘‘These are our

Perhaps that is one way to make

OLD OUSTAMAH TAILINGS
ARE NOW BEING WORKED
Mr. R. E. Johnston, formerly of
Redwood City, has leased the old
Oustamah quartz tailings for a period o ftwo years. He ha sbeen setting up and working on the property
for the past month. The Oustamah mine is a short distance west
of Nevada City near the old Indian
Flat road.
A new method of recovery is being used by Johnston that has been
subject to some criticism. To convince an interested party he put a
sluice box on the end of his workings. After adjustment was made,
the party could recover no gold or
black sand to any appreciable
amount in the sluice box.
Johnston is now recovering amalgam, flower gold, small quantities
of flake gold and_ considerable
black sand.” Actual Values of the
recovered minerals are as yet unknown, but Johnson states that they
are not coming up to expectations
as yet:
The flower gold is of the finest,
some of it fs infinitesinmal even under the microscope. To recover it
the most careful’ methods must be
employed.
With his black sand, Johnston is
retaining all of the fine gold. Even
what little flake gold there is haz

PLACER COUNTY GETS —
LABOR ALLOTMENT)
The naional goverdinent hed” cancelled proposed financial allotments
for roads to be built in other parts
of ‘the Tahoe National Forest and
has instead allotted $8000.00 for
the building of roads on the Forest
Hill divide between ForestHill and
Forks House —_in-_Placer._County.
Work will be done on the main road
and on several minor roads leading
from it.
The reason given for the change
of allotments was that people in
‘the Forest Hill district were more
needy than in other sections.
The $8000 will be taken from the
emergency fund for the unemployed
that is to be devoted to reconstruction road work. Labor for the work
will be supplied from needy people
with dependents picked from _ the
Forest Hill divide ‘ country’ by a
committee consisting of three prominent Forest Hill citizens .
Work will be done under the supervision of the Forest Service with
headquarters in Nevada City. They
will be assisted by the Placer
County authorities.
The wage scale of 50> cents~per
hour will’ be maintained. At six
hour day and a 30 hour week will
be used in connection with the stagger method o femployment. This
will be done so that the money devoted to the project will be distributed to as many needy families as DOR.
sible.
Standard equipment for Placer
County road work will be utilized
in the work which is scheduled to
commence on November first.
It was hopea by the Nevada City
office of the Forest Service under
R, L. P. Bigelow, that other funds
would be obtained for more of this
emergency work. But the amount
alloted was placed where the need
for employment was the greatest at
this time. No other winter road
projects are now contemplated for
the Tahoe National Forest. Service
this winter, states Mr. Bigelow.
Work planned for the building of
a road into the Empire ranch country from Downieville was suspended
because of the belief that the unemployment situation Was not so
keen in Sierra County. It is hoped
that later the work can be completed
as considerable surveying and preliminary work has already been
done. That road will open a vast
territory northeast of Downieville.
MRS. GERMAN ATTENDS
EASTERN STAR MEETING
Elected Evangeline chapter delegate to the 59th annual session of
the grand chapter of the Bastern
Star Lodge, Mrs. Mary German of
this city attended that session in
San Francisco last week. The
meeting was held in the civic auditorium and was voted by all in attendance as the most successful
meeting ever held.
Mrs. German tells us something
of the unusual session. This bi-centenial year was capitalized on in the
selection of costumes,
grand officers, the pages, the ushers,
and the deputy grand matrons were
attired in colonial garb. The decorations and trimmings were in tune
with the general colonial atmosphere. A colletcion of George Washington paintings that were loaned
for the occassion adorned the walls.
Everything harmonized with the
spirit of the occassion:
The session lasted for four days
and each day was outstanding in its
success. Mr. German was the only
is neded. delegate from Evangeline chapter

‘In th Days of a8 when the mud
flats of San Francisco Bay extended
to Montgomery street and Los Angeles was a pueblo, the pine forests
of the Sierra Nevada and the Douglas fir forests ofthe coast range
clothed the-mountains_and foothills. —
in a much wider belt than they do
today, according to a report by A.
E. Wieslander of the California
Forest Experiment Station of the U.
S. Forest: Service. Logging, srazing and particularly forest fires are
the chief factors which have converted the old commercial forests to
what are now comparatively worthless land and have cfeated a land
management problem of large proportions in California.
In Eldorado County alone, according to Wieslander, the ponderosa
pine forests have retreated 10 miles
up the mountain slopes from an elevation of 1,000 feet to the 2,509
foot contour on a. ‘'30 mile front,
leaving a strip of 162,000 acres entirely deforested on dan even larger
area thinly stocked with second
growth trees. This; land,—which is
capable of producing 4 forest stand
of 37,000 board feet*of lumber per
acre, more than is usually found
today on the average commercial
logging areas, is now mostly covered with half scrub
worthless for timber and too dense
or too brushy for good grazing.
Isolated survivors of the original
forest,
growth and such names as Sawmill
Flat, Sawmill Creek . and Shingle
Springs, occurring in what are now
treeless areas, indicate that they
were once in forested territory. This
theory is confirmed by old records
which prove that from 1850 to 1870
many sawmills supplied lumber to
the placer mines in the central
Sierra region.
which takes in the Nevada City district. i
The huge San Francisco civic auditorium, which will accommodate
thousands of people, was packed for
each session. The ball night it was
too crowded for the usual grand
march. From every standpoint this
year’s session was an outstanding
success. San Francisco is to be
commended, for the way he received
her visitors.
Next year the annual session will
be held at Long Beach.
