CIT Y---With red shirts and black hats, brothers of E Clampus Vitus will dedicate a bronze plaque at the National Hotel describing it as California's oldest hostelry in continuous service since pioneer times, May 5. The dedication group will be headed by Charles De Turk, chief of the state Division of Beaches and Parks. Alsotaking-part will be Archie Stevenot, Sonora, sublime grand noble humbug of California Clampers, and Herb Gerrish, grand noble humbug of William Bull Meek -William Morris Stewart Chapter of ECV of western Nevada County. Theclaimthat the venerable three story, 100 room hotel is the oldest in California is expected to be questioned by historians elsewhere. Other hostelries claim the same distinction. However Nevada County researchers are prepared to show that the hotel came into being as the Bicknell Block, built in 1854. It was atwo story structure with shops and offices onthe ground floor and “rooms to let" upstairs. In the years that followed another story and annexes were added. Then came a dining room and downtown merchants took advantage of the offer of “rooms, $1 per day and found, " The name Bicknell Block was abandoned and the hostelry became the National Exchange Hotel. The word “exchange” meant that miners could exchange their gold dust and nuggets for coin. Hotel historians say more than$8 million dollars in gold passed over the bar. Visitorsto the now unused hotel annex can:see a wide two inch thick laurelwood plank, saidtobe the original bartop. Hotel attendants are prepared to Say the plank Seer; was eight inches thick and over the years was worn downtothe present two inch thickness. They also may say (off the record, of course) that this probably is not the first bar plank. They will whisper that the first bar plank is believed to havebeen a whipsawed pine board across two whiskey barrels. When the first Nevada County Narrow Gauge trains chugged into the Nevada City depot, National Exchange horsedrawn carryalls and depot hacks were there to meet the traveling public. The National became the assembling point for passengers headed for North San Juan, North Bloomfield, Graniteville, Camptonville, Downieville, Sierra City, and Goodyear Bar. At the traveling peak as many as ten stage coaches a day clattered away to other towns inthe Northern mines. It is Said that one hotel operator with a sharp eye for a dollar bought a controlling interest in the major stage lines serving the community. He immediately made certain changes in the stage schedule. " When passengers headed for Downieville and elsewhere alighted from the train they learned with dismay that the “last stage for upcountry left 20 minutes ago”. They stayed overnight at the National and took the upcountry stage in the morning. Many irate travelers howevershowed their disapprovval of the schedule, particularly when returned from the high country to learn that the last Narrow Gauge train for Colfax “left 20 minutes ago". The schedule was rearranged to more conventional hours when irate travelers moved their patronage to the Union Hotel and the New York Hotel. The former was razed to make way for a proposed freeway and the latter has become a variety store, dentist's office and apartment building. The late H. P. Davis, dean of Nevada County historians, wrote that a business transaction in the National marked the birth of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. He recounted that in 1894 Eugene De Sabla and John Martin, pioneers in hydroelectric development, prevailed uponRomulus Riggs Colgate to invest in a planned combine of small electric and gas companies. Over the years, the combine expanded into an organization which became the PG&E Davis reported. Most of the rooms in the iron balconiedhotel today have turkey red carpets, high back wing chairs, canopied beds and gaudy Victorian wallpaper. Some have marble wash basins. A few rooms have old marble top wash stands cartying porcelian “pitchers and catchers," no longerneeded by the traveling public.

By Dean Thompson SACRAMENTO --Malakoff State Park is still in the five development of state park sites, and it is still one of the projects with “top priority". "The project isn't dead," Supervisor Robert B.

Brown's special appeal for an urgent $19 million program.

Malakoff was on the $19 million list of projects for which Governor Brown seeks get learned this week. But it was scratched by the Department of Finance, along with a Southern California park site, when appraisers from that department estimated the cost of projects included in the program exceeded $19 million by some $4 million. Malakoff Diggins Project was considered remote and not subject to the urgency of other pressing demands for use of the land, according to informed sources in Sacramento, Hatch, who was in Yuma at the time the Malakoff project was stricken from the $19 million program, said the North Bloomfield development is “just as critical a place as we have inthe state. " He said the project will likely suffer, from the state's acquisition standpoint, due tosubstantially increased prices and problems ifthe park site purchase is delayed. But the Malakoff Diggins Project is included in the $150 million bond issue. , Hatch said, and he hopes that funds will be available to move ahead onthe project . when the detailed planning is completed.
