SUBCRIPTION RATES Ryne VOUT, A NOVRUN COURUS ooo iio eos peleissc inns tocacowas ee Outside Nevada county, in United States 4 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. ship and-a new start. ant or er 5 !

If any big corporation employee had as badly. bungled his job as Hoover has his, he would soon. be out of a job, no propaganda would save him. Hoover is heard by the American people to manage the biggest corporation in the world based on the soundest principles of government. Senator Wagner really indicated that “Herbie was frequently wrong usually late and always futile,”’ that be the case, their is heavens name let us use the old Austrailian ballot to send him-back-to oblivion. Newspaper item as_ follows: “Henry Ford today repeated his advie eto his workers that ‘‘President Hoover must be’ elected to prevent times from getting worse and to help them get better.’’” ‘‘These are our convictions and we submit them to the serious copsideration of all Ford motor employes and their families.” Perhaps that is one way to make votes for Hoover and perhaps not.

No mater where you look in «this community your eyes can feast on the royal splendor of these dignified stately trees, which even after ‘the leaves are gone will stand straightlaced and ascetic only awaiting the soft spring winds to again awaken them to paint the landscape with green and ‘yellow patterns. 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 such a light body to it that to retain it. in'a pan, the most expert hand 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 NEVADA CITY THEATRE . __ FRIDAY . “MASON OF THE MOUNTED” Air Mail Mystery Comedy SATURDAY “THE OFFICE GIRL” Comedy and Travelogue SUNDAY “COCK OF THE AIR” News and Comedy “GUILTY MONDAY and TUESDAYNews, and Comedy AS HELL” Maurice WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY “LOVE ME TONIGHT” Chevalier .

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.
