8 the Nevada County Nugget, Wednesday, February 24, 1971 From the files of The Nugget Friday, December 23, 1938 SAN JUAN PREPARES FOR BRILLIANT PETE The historic town of North San Juan is going to be served with electricity early in 1939 for the first time since it was founded in 1857. The E Clampus Vitus chapters from all over the state have been invited to cooperate with the William Bull Meek chapter in the Deer Creek Diggins to put-on a celebration that will make the turning on of the lights a memorable occasion, Clyde Gwin is in charge of the affair so we can expect something spectacular. In the early mining days North San Juan was the mining, business, and cultural center of this region of Nevada county. With the construction of the debris restraining dam of the Upper Narrows of the Yuba River she will gradually regain her title of Queen City of the San Juan Ridge. When in her prime, North San Juan was a hilarious queen, and partial to the boisterous citizens, Their red shirts and cowhide boots never offended her royal sense of propriety. Instead, she welcomed their calloused hands about her waist and her lips eagerly turned upward to receive their be-whiskered kisses, ° When the two-gun men and the hell-roaring miners met in the saloons and bumped glasses and guns the Queen was likely to dance up to the bar and order a whiskey straight for herself, At dawn she stood in the graveyard and she hangover tears while a presumptious miner was buried in his boots and shooting frons. When the hydraulic mines were closed in 1884 North San Juan’ decided to sleep it off until Harry Englebright was old enough to be a congressman and the California Hydraulic Mining Association was organized. While she awaited for 1939 her 1849 robes went out of style and her black tresses became streaked with grey. A new North San Juan is now rising from her long sleep in the boulder-strewn bed of a pliocene-age channel, Her vivacious girlhood is half a century behind her. A wiser and more dignified Queen is opening her eyes. She is sitting up in bed and looking over her new subjects who have replaced the men and women of her youth. Very soon North San Juan will be wide awake again and ready to dance to the modern tunes of a new era. She will be attired in a gown furnished by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company that cost that concern $11,400, The lights in her crown will sparkle from pine-crested hilltops to flower-decked canyons and her long glorious train will glitter the length and breadth of the business and the residential section. The California Hydraulic Mining Association and all their friends have been invited to follow the trail of the forty niner to the San Juan Ridge and participate in the electric light celebration, Raining or snowing, San Juan is prepared to show everyone a royal good time. : With the resumption of hydraulic mining .and the convenfence of electricity to modernize methods of living, North San Juan has become.a town with a past — and a brilliant future.

Of his candidacy and his experience as a NU trustee, Dr. Rayburn said: “I think one always gets the idea by being ow a board that he will have something to say about educational activities in his community, but he finds he is just one of several voices with no more authority than anyone else. “A trustee is saddled with a whole volume of tradition and circumstances that started long before he came on. He soon finds all he does is express himself on certain problems and possibly set some policy and hopefully will be able to contribute to overall stability and value of the education process in the community. “As you influence young people in their high school years, you are influencing future leaders. I think this is the most important area of influence we older people have.’’ Dr. Rayburn said trustees do ‘¢make mistakes,. but you hope your overall influence will be good and you will be the type of individual some young people may want to pattern themselves after.’’ Dr, Rayburn, his wife Thelma, and their five children have lived in this area for 10 years.
