PUBLISHER’S NOTE.
"The Nevada County Nugget is dedicated to the best interest of the taxpayers of Nevada County, and to do everything possible for the benefit of the county with fairness to
everyone.
. Wedonot expect everyone to agree with us, but we
would be very happy to hear from you whether you agree
with us or not. We are all entitled to our opinion.
As long as Iam the publisher of this paper the people
will receive the honest facts regardless of “whose toes
we may have to tread upon” and the public . can form their
own opinion.
Nevada County Develepmeiit Report
The Nevada. County Development Council has submitted
their written report on the advantages and disadvantages of
our area for the attraction of industry and payrolls.
We wish to compliment them on their report. One of
our greatest drawbacks in attracting industry are the high
freight rates any industry will have to pay to and from this
area. It is cheaper to ship from San Jose to Seattle than it
is from the Grags Valley-Nevada City area.
The statement that we have in our community—and we
quote from the report: “And that unfortunately we do have a
vocal, anti-progressive, minority group within our community who seem in the past few years, to be wielding much more
influence than. they are entitled to”, appears to us to have
been made without much consideration for the actual views
and ideas of that so-called minority group. Every group of
good citizens should be entitled to wield influence in forming
the destiny of this community. The amount of influence
any good group should have should not be questioned so long
as they are working, first, last and always for the good of
every citizen of our community. As to what constitutes that
which is “good’’ for a community is a very broad question.
We certainly want industry and payrolls and we are positive
that the minority group wants the same advancement as
everyone does—but it must be done on a basis that will rere
a benefit to all concerned and not to any individual group for
their personal gain at the taxpayers expense.
Tf the influential minority group is wielding more influence than they are entitled to, we certainly would like to
know their names. Perhaps they are the old timers—the
“Cousin Jacks”, who feel they have earned a voice in the affairs of our community by unselfish devotion to each and all
of us throughout the years. Perhaps they represent a group
whose only axe to grind is-the.welfare of our community.
Perhaps they are a dying breed of men who never bowed their
head to any individual, group of individuals, who claimed to
be wise, wealthy and aggressive.
Perhaps they are a group of men who have earned the
right to wield more influence than some comparative stranger-. a decade.

The story of the new minister
who was appointed pastor of a
small parish in a rural community s€¢ems worth thinking about.
He was a fairly: good looking
RB desired to have his first
assi ent one of benefit for his
flock. and.to create and to build
for the honor and glory: of the
final Judge of us all. He worked
hard, very hard. He was unmarried,.and did not, because of his
small salary, give too much consideration to matrimony.
There was a woman in _ his
minister was adamant. Finally,
he emphatically said “no” to the
lady. Shortly thereafter, it came
to him ‘that all sorts of adverse
rumors were spreading like wildfire about him. He was having
an affair with this one and that
one—without any names_ being
mentioned—and every once in a
while he would take’ a “nip” jor
two behind closed doors with his
love at the moment. Why, even
some of the women were seen
going to his house without corsets! He should be run out of
town and his pastaraiip taken
away from hiin.All of theserumors came to
the honest minister, and they
ruined his health; he became ill
and lost the! desire to live. The
woman who started all the rumors repented’ and went to the
minister and ask him what she
could do to rectify her statements. The mimister told her -to
take a feather pillow up to the
belfrey, open the pillow and
seatter the feathers to the four
“winds: The lady did this—and returned to the minister and reported that she had fulfilled his
request and could she do anything
further for him. “Yes, you may,”
said the minister. “Go out now
and pick up all the feathers and
replace them in the pillow.”.“‘But
I can’t do that, Reverend, for it
would be impossible to pick them
all up,” rpelied the lady.
“That is true,” replied the Reverend. “And so it is :mpossible
to completely clear my name in
the minds of all the people who
have heard the vicious and untrue rumors you. have spread
about me. Go and sin no more.
You are forgiven. Remember
there are more ways than one to
murder an individual.” °
The minister tried to recover
from the onslaught of adverse
public opinion, but couldn’t! He
soon died of a broken heart, for
the thought of death had become
more amusing: to him than the
perplexities of living — and. the
lack of genuine friendship from
the people, he wanted so much
to serve.

King Salmon Fag}
Production Soars
The king salmon, which pulled
a “disappearing act” last year, is
showing signs of returning to
California this year—at least to
its ancestral spawning grounds.
The Department of Fish and
Game reported last week that
egg production at the two king
salmon hatcheries in California
is well ahead of last year.
Through anuary 5, the federal
Coleman Hatchery, operated on
Battle Creek near Redding by
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reported 28,037,000 king
salmon eggs taken, plus 376,000
silver salmon eggs. This is well
ahead of the full-year average of
26,000,000 eggs over the last seven
years.
_ Fish. are still running near
Keswick Dam and up Battle
Creek and a million eggs per day
are still being taken by federal
hatchery workers. Coleman officlals expect the season total to
run between 32,000,000 and 35,000,000 eggs.
. At Nimbus Hatchery on the
American River below Nimbus
Dam, the Department of Fish and
Game reports the largest egg production since the hatchery began
operation in October, 1955. The
department, which operates the
hatchery with the support of
federal Bureau of Reclamation
funds, reported 13,402,000 king
salmon eggs taken through December 31. This is 16 times the
production of last year when only
847,000 king salmon eggs were
taken.
The Nimbus eggs were taken
from 10,149 adult salmon, of
which 3,000 arrived during December. In addition, at least another 4,707 fish got through the
hatchery racks (which diyert
most fish to the hatchery ladder)
and spawned in the small area
below Nimbus Dam.

1LETTERS TO THE

January 29, 1959.
Editor Nevada County Nugget,
Nevada City, California.
Dear,Editor:
California fairs in 1958 experienced their greatest season, with
approximately 8,000,000 attending our “outdoor colleges of
knowledge.”
A great part of this success
‘may be traced directly to the
state’s newspapers, including the
Nevada County Nugget, which
have contributed generously with
both staff time and space.
The value of California fairs in
our way of life is tremendous,
not only to the 20,000 4-H Club
members who participate, the
10,000 Future Farmers of America who demonstrate skills, and
those who enter approximately}
400,000 displays in: competition,
but to the millions who. benefit
indirectly through payrolls, improved quality of goods, and
wholesome recreation.
To tell this story. and one other
that fairgrounds with their many
facilities -have-become
centers without one cent of local
taxation has been a powerful
stimulant. The 79 state-supported
fairs in California are, in a large
part, financed through a 4.per
cent levy against money -bet—at
race tracks.
On behalf of the fairs in California, Western Fairs Association
would like to thank the editorial
staff of the Nevada County Nugget for the monéy favors in 1958
—-with the promise that our expositions will be even greatér in
1959.
To know our western fairs.
