No. 5886 SS R.W. Ingram, C.E. No.9927 The most fascinating news story of the past week comes from the 110 year old Mountain Messenget of Downieville with an item as reported by its star reporter Eugene Stowe. . It had to do with the retirement of Margaret Lambert as Sierra County treasurer after 35 years of public service. Mrs. Lambert, always with a reputation to speak her mind, has frequently down the years shown her disdain for the Board of Supervisors. In this clip from the Mt, Messenger her characteris even more revealing. DA Gordon Smith was MC: episode beginning. her distinguished career, telling of an early board policy of requiring all new county officers to crawl through a small doorway to the board chambers on hands and knees, thus showing proper respect to. the members. Mrs. Lambert was equal to the occasion,, however, on her initial appearance, as she backed through and gave the board a rather unusual first view of their new treasurer, : Tower, Alice Caldwell, Mabel Charles, Annie McCrandall, Mattie Grant, Maggie Heather, Helen Cogper, Ethel Mulloy, Minnie Maltman, Laura Power, Grace Garthe, Becky Baruh, Helen Shurtleff, Maggie Organ, Carrie Groves, cival, Visualize the Plaza as it now is on Jan. 16, ‘63. In 1875 a building called Temperance Hall stood where the’ Old Brewery now: stands. Temperance Hall burned to the ground in 1879. George Gehrig built the present old brewery and made beer there. Over the present bar he erected a dance hall which he leased to Professor John Mitchell who conducted a school of proper ballroom dancing and good social manners for the then ‘teen agers pictured above. This dance hall was destroyed by fire on Oct. 1, 1889. A fire started inthe Plaza Grocery, jumped in all directions, partially burned the Deer Creek Bridge and the surrounding bldgs except the present Old Ice House. What was life like in Nevada City 75 yrs ago when this picture was taken in front of the Dunnicliff home at,the Plaza? We asked Frank Gunther, now 90 yrs old: In spite of a mining and frontier background, NC than as now had a deep cultural responsibility. Only churches and saloons were open on Sundays, City lit by gas lamps. Food for two: $13 per month. T -bone steaks, 15¢ each. Flour, 85¢ for 50 lbs. Leg of lamb, 75¢. Children no problems then, They had no spending money and parents gave them good home training, Frank's first job with ML&D Marsh got paid $30 per month with room and board, There were*very few trees in NC way back then. Take another look at Prof Mitchell in the picture above. On Sat. PM's he taught the kids the social. graces and in the evening headed an 8 piece orchestra at Armory Hall(now Purity). The good old days in Nevada City? They are now as always---the years when YOU and YOU and YOU grew up here, Jennie Brown, Vivie Rector, Sally Pre-\ . . oy ® ae ps This week it's Happy Birthday'to an old friend and (almost) constant companion---our 12 year old dog of mixed parentage, Paddy. Paddy and his twin white brother were left on the door step of Jean Haley's Nevada © St. home in 1951. The brother did not long survive Nev~ ada St. traffic but down the years Paddy has done very well with the 7000 cars in 24 hours on the NC-GV highway. I can't imagine a home without a dog, But none of those fancy breeds like poodles and cockers that makes the vets rich with their demands and their owner's foolishnesses. A dog can become a hypochondriac faster than a human. Paddy sleeps outside and can forage for himself if need be. Twice he has been dyed green for St. Patrick 's Day festivities. Spent six years in but never graduated from kindergarten, On stormy days has hitched free rides on the NC-GV bus. Was named after the great musician Paderewski because when ‘he was a puppy--he was the pianist. Most of the time a good watch dog. A dog is supposed tobe by years six times a human span. So Paddy by such figuring is 72 yrs old, But still full of the old chase. Where was he the night our car was’stolen? At home guarding the property? No. On Main St, near the postoffice. Pursuing with amour, amour. With a Dachshund yet, So tonite on his 12th (or is it his 72nd) Paddy will be served his favorite cooked hot lamb's liver: > ‘North San Yuan” News By Donna Milhous The party's over..
