The district which adjoins the Nevada City high school area recently prepared a petition asking annexation to the Grass Valley school district and presented it to Walter A. Carlson, county -superintendent of schools. Carlson “presented the petition to the supervisors Tuesday at the regular sesion of the board. Petitioners from the Oakland Grass Valley to obtain a lower per pupil tax than is paid at pres-ent for students attending Nevada City high school. The supervisors delayed calling an election pending outcome of a meeting of the Nevada County Committee for: School Organization scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 20, to determine whether the voters of the area will be asked to ballot on the establishment of a union high school. Carlson also presented a petition signed ‘by residents of the Michell tract, at the southern end of Nevada City, asking that the tract, a part of the Gold Flat or Oakland district, be annexed to Nevada City unified school district. Hearing date on the Michell tract annexation was set for 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 29. The tract was taken into the city last year. Mrs. H. N. March, a trustee of the Gild Flat school, appeared before the board, and explained the petitioners were in. favor of a union ‘high school district and if $uch becomes a reality the annexation move would be aban‘Mrs. March declared the resiGents of the Gold Flat district are seeking relief from high taxes for schooling which amounts to $1.54 this year compared with about 77 cents for the larger districts. Mrs. March explained the district is not asking annexation to the adjoining Nevada Gity school district because residents do not. want to give up the elementary school in Gold Flat. She added Grass Valley offers students a greater variety of subjects at less cost than Nevada City. The supervisors also allocated $15,000 of the county’s share of state funds, to be used in ‘construction of the proposed $320,000 Tahoe Forest hospital to be located at the junction of U. S. highway 40 and the Lake Tahoe highway. The hospital will be a 12-bed project which could serve 24 patients if necessary. Major portion of financing the hospital will be through bonds of the Tahoe-Truckee hospital district. J. F. O’Connor, road commissioner, was authorized to begin repairs on the Greenhorn bridge, damaged in May when a logging truck tore out a portion of the suspension system. O’Conner was also authorized to survey all bridges for weight limits and post them in accordance with his findings. The board authorized District with legal action to regover damages from Oscar Phillips, owner of the logging truck that damaged the Greenhorn bridge. sole duties will be to direct the business details of the district. All three of the directors have pointed out they have not discarded the idea of a full time manager but they will direct, operations for the present and hire a manager if the situation de-. mands. The three have agreed that the next district manager Gf one is hired) will be a business executive and not an engineer. Meanwhile two of the directors —Nile and Arnold—face a recall election Tuesday, Oct. 3, in which they will compete against C. O. Armstrong, Farm Bureau president, and Clarence E. Gassaway, another Farm Bureau leader. Many county leaders and farmers hope the Varney firing will be the closing episode in a long range rumpus which is believed to have kept both Varney and the board of directors from properly doing their jobs for the past several ‘months. Three directors of the NID explained a program for management of the district after the planned firing of Forrest Varney today, before a meeting of more than 200 members of NID Water Users association at LaBarr Meadows hall Friday. Directors offering the proposed program were Herbert Nile, J. H. Gleason and Max P. Arnold, chairman of the NID directorate. ,° Under the proposed plan following the ousting of Varney the three said they will name an office manager to handle the business end of the district operation. Construction and maintenance program will be carried on under. the direction of a superintendent to be in_ charge of the physical operations,of the district in the Mountain, Nevada and the Placer county divisions. The directors will meet weekly with both the business manager and the construction superintendent to work out details of operation. Nile, critic of Varney’s management promised the water users that Varney definitely will be dismissed today at the regular board session. His promise was endorsed by both Arnold and Gleason who took part in the ses‘sion. Roy Van Tiger, Marysville, rancher and banker, and the first president of the NID Water Users association, spoke briefly on assessments and water costs. Both Nile and Arnold face recall elections Tuesday, Oct. 3. Recall action was instituted. by the NID Land Owners Association hhortly after the Aug. 4 demand for Varney’s resignation. Gleason also had been slated for recall but petition circulators had been unable to obtain the necessary 25 per cent of the voters of Gleason’s district. Donald Gates, Pleasant Valley dairyman said the petition circulators withdrew when they discovered the necessary number of signers could not be obtained. The two other district directors, G. O.

JIM ROOSEVELT GAINS VOTES IN NEVADA COUNTY James Roosevelt, son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, picked up 100 votes for himself here last Friday morning as he spoked in his shirt sleeves, coke bottle in hand, ‘from a 1947 Buick convertible, in the only local appearance of a gubernatorial candidate. Or so is the opinion of this rock-ribbed Republican newspaperman. Our vote is first, last and always for Republican Candidate Earl Warren but we feel we are a dispassionate enough observer to feel that the polished son of a polished politician captured the fancy and votes ‘of the three or four hundred spectators that appeared to hear him talk at the corner of Pine and Broad. . The polished and promising young man had only good news as answers for the questions that were presented him. Most of the questions concerned benefits to be derived from a‘ paternalistic government. hae Roosevelt _was_ introduced by Harold Berliner, Jr.,“chairman of the Nevada county Democratic committee.:} Roosevelt aired the Democrats belief that the Republican party is a dead dodo, but admitted the GOP serves a very useful purpose by contributing a constuc‘tive minority points of view. Roosevelt took credit on behalf of the Democratic party for the prosperous state of the nation in this year of 1950, declaring the . Democratic party built the country from 1932 into the strongest free country of the world. The Democratic candidate for governor of California said the nation faces a world situation dominated by two philosophies— the American Demcratic way and the Communistic Russian. He suggested that the Korean incident doesn’t necessarily mean war, and added that when it is over the country should make itself so strong that no opponent will dare #b attack us. The candidate said he would bring an administration into Sacramento that would back the na‘tional administration. He condemned the Warren administration charging it. operated with hindsight and no foresight, a matter that could be ascer‘tained by riding on state roads. Roosevelt also condemned the state’s administration on schools, charging that school building had not kept up with the population growth and as a result thousands of school~pupils are getting halftime schooling. : Roosevelt stated that an effective state government does not exist. “Your dollar doesn’t buy ‘what it does in the east,” he declared. The candidate gained the applause of the audience when he stated government is needed to give an even break to the common people. “Let’s be the important state we are,” he said. Roosevelt said the state surplus is a myth—the state has operated in the red the past three years. In reply to a query about the old age assistance, Roosevelt proposed a federal retirement income law for all states to eliminate inequalities in the various states. Roosevelt said unemployment in California can be solved by bringing industry into California with cheap power. He said he believed the miners should be subsidized until international agreements can be completed setting a standard price for gold throughout the world. Roosevelt said subsidizing is a short range program while the international agreements are the long range policy more to be desired. Roosevelt closed his talk with a statement he has been a resident of California for 12 years, and got his loudest applause by declaring ‘Most people in California were born elsewhere, including the pioneers.” Buy a Share in the P.

Gardner, Jr., Bagdad Mining Co., Phillipsburg, Mont., at a session of the 1950 Metal Mining Convention and Exposition in Salt Lake City. . Speaking of the principal involved, Gardner said: ‘It consists of two pipes joined together at the bottom, a motor driven pump at the top of one column, circulating water downward in that column and upward in the other column, a set of loading chambers at the bottom: of the “upward” column for the purpose of introducing ore into that column, a displacement pump Pat the chambers for the purpose of displacing a volume of water from the upper to the lower chamber equal to the volume of ore charged into the upper chamber, a_pressur® equalizing valve at the chambers to equalize pressure in the upper chamber -with that in the lower chamber, and a dewaterizer at the top of the. upward column for the purpose of dewatering tne ore and allowing the water to return to the pump for recirculation. A flywheel mounted between the pump and motor keeps the system going in case of power failure’so that the ore in the column and chambers will be removed before the water falls below lifting velocity.” The hydraulic hoist has been developed from the study and operation of two models. Conclusions, which follow, are based on the operation. of both models and modifications will be incorporated in the design ofthe first commercial installation. Ore should be crushed to a size at least. one-third the pipe diameter. Velocity required to lift ore will be the same for all sizes of pipe. Capacity will vary with pipe size. Power determination is based on experiments which are found to be valid for the large model. Loading cycle will be 30 seconds to one minute and dewatering will be done by a Robbins dewaterer. No classification will occur in the pipe at hoisting velocities and no bridging or hangups will take place in the charging valves. No difficulty will be experienced with occasional large pieces if they are smaller than the pipe rpg heb Foreign material, such as tramp iron, will pass i readily, s ie The ore load in the column does not increase static pressure and when ‘the system is put into an inclined shaft power requirements are about double and wear on the pipe increases. Loading chambers may be installed at different levels. A depth of 5,000 ft., with static pressure of 2150 psi, seems feasible within the limits of modern design. Buy a Share in the P.
