We have all heard numerous deer stories and no doubt most of them are true, but-it 4s-seldom that any of the boys come home with 215 pounds of meat in one “chunk” with the horns sticking right on the top side where they. belong. Last Saturday, Dave Richards, one of the proprietors of the Keystone Market with John Tognarelli, Frank Brophy, Norman Wells, Harvey Ike and Raymond Arbogast, took a notion that-life was rather dull and a good deer hunt was in order; So-o-0 they cranked up the old “‘buzz Wagon’”’ loaded on the extra’s and headed for Modoc County, the home: of the Mule deer. They went up by way of Red Bluff over Burney moun“The starting line-up will be as foltain into Modoc county and over the Oregon line, which, by the way, is} aut, Carl Tobiasson, some trip. But not having much luck on the Oregon side decided to come! back to dear old California and ‘see! if they could not fing a few.. ges ny, ati ge tracks or something that they Ke shoot at. On Tuesday morning the boys went out with grim determination sticking out all over them. Rifles all loaded and everything—and as a result a big four point mule deer weighing 215 pounds was brought down. This is without doubt the biggest kill so far this season. The party returned home yesterday morning ;bringing . home enough meat to last the Keystone Market for quite some time. This specimen now hangs at the Market on Commercial street, -and the writer thought at first that the father of all the” deer “in Modoc. county..Was more. But Dave Richards says we killed “Oh him in will bring the rest of the mule deer family Pome.’ ; . SSS REoraenen way g Yaucnevcnenenue GEORGE CALANAN ELECTED

PETITION WOULD CHANGE HIGHWAY STREET LINKS A petition was presented to the ‘city Counciblast evening by a group of citizens consisting of Gove Célio, Charles _W. Leiter, and Chester Scheemer, asking the council to desworking hard in practise and "ene ] Harbors, Representatives, has adopted the fol'U.S. Hearing Called On Yuba Dam Profit , a and of on Rivers States House The Committee United owing resolution: . “Resolved By The Committee On Rivers And Harbors Of The House Of Representatives, United States, That the Board of . Engineers’ for Rivers and Harbors created: under Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act, approved June 138, 1902, be, and is hereby, requested to review the reports on Sacramento River, California, submitted April 20, 1928, and the reports previously submitted on thé subject of ‘‘ Debris Control,’’ with a view to determining if it is advisable to prosecute any work ‘of debris control on the tributaries of the Sacramento River at this time, particularly with reference to the proposed dam at the Narrows in Yuba River.” — The duty of making the report called for has been delegated to U. S. Engineer’s office in Sacramento, andthe matter will be considered at a public hearing, to be held in U.C.C CAMPS TO By J. F. McLAUGHLAN SACRAMENTO, Oct. 5—(UP)— Careful selection appears the watchword for California county registration agents for C. C. C., as enrollment’ for the second “enlistment” period became general throughout the state today. “Only 2,853 enrollies. will. be taken this period, epntrasting with the 11,500 in the quota of the originalenrollment. The. new, enroliies . . will be in the nature of replacement units, R. C. Brannion, director of state emergency relief, said. — At the same Brannion announced county quotas, he announced county registration agents and their addresses. In Nevada county the quota is eight and the registration agent is A. V. McGagin;, Court House, Nevada City, California. Brannion said there were several times as many trying to get into the camps as there are openings, which will preclude registration of any but the most needy cases. California’s quota is sarmeeeg to be filled by October 10 or 11. One result of the first period of the ‘enrollment reflects highly ‘in California's ‘fAVON, “ACCOrAINE “to state emergency relief officials: Approxignate to the State Highway Com~ mission Sacramento street instead. of Pine street as the state highway Jjink whichthe commission proposes to take. over. The petition was signed by more than a seore of business men.'In prelsenting the petition Mr. Celio called attention to the fact that by routing the highway over Sacramento street and up Broad street, all business firms would be equally benefited by the flow. of traffic. Mayor Bennetts pointed out that the petition granted the city would be put to the expense of maintaining the Gault bridge which he declared would soon need refloring and. reinforcing, if not rebuilding. Celio declared that he had certain), knowledge that the highway commission would not build a new bridge there. The council produced a letter from the State Highway Commission in which the commission had asked the city to designate Pine street as the more direct route in line with the state highway, and the other streets upper part-of Nevada street on the Ukiah-Tahoe route, and Broad st., from Pine to the point where it.turns into the Downieville highway entrance. . . Charles Leiter asked if the one council had--yet so designated the streets, and on learning that if had not, requested a week's time. before the cdupeil‘made its. final is a This request was granted. * Horace Curnow appeared before the board with a Proposal for acei. including York, Washington and the j tion ‘basis, the same as were, the orinians left the Cr C: Cy camps atthe end of’the first enlistment compared . with figures as high as 55 per cent for some of the midwestern camps, reflecting the satisfactory conditions in California camps. : » Another. point remarked by the officials was that.more than'50 per cent of the Californians are, sending $25 to their families by allotment instead of the $20 minimum in the first period.

BR py \ DRUNKEN DRIVING ‘By THOMAS B.MALARKEY SACRAMENTO, Oct. 5—(UP)— a ‘Proudest of all boasts of the state highway patrol is its record of cutting down the motor vehicle accident rate. : nf) But.there’s one problem in this connection they\ qhaven’t.-yat been able to. solve—the keen thirst of some California drivers during the . month of July. During the seven -month period ending July 31, state highway patrolmen made 68accident ri i tions in Nevada county. 2 Statistics reveal, according to Be Raymond Cato, chief of the’ igtate highway patrol, that during the hot. summer month of July, arrests for drunken. driving..increase8 Just why this should be so, been determined. Perhaps heat adds an extra nee to intoxicants; or maybe thousands ‘of vacationists aré inclined to celebrate their respective holidays by indulging in drinks. It can’t be’ pblam~ed on 3.2 beer. For the sharp July increase has occured in past. years. Whatever the cause, every informed highway patrolmen knows he will — probably be a busy man runing down drunken drfyers during, the seventh month of each year. ; “Coincident with . a marked deH crease in motor vehicle accidents and accidental deathson our highways," Cato commented; “there: ig: one* item of increased activity.
