WILLOW VALLEY, 33rd Year, No. 37 Nevada County 4-H and FFA members have about $7,500 in their possession as a result of the successful junior livestock sale that was held Sunday, Aufust 30, in conjunction with’ the Nevada Oounty Fair. The 16 steers sold averaged 41% cents per]. pound. Twenty-six lambs averaged 58 cents per pound. The fourth annual livestock show got off to a lively start as Stanford Stockton, auctioneer from Yuba City Auction Yard brought the gavel down to start the sale at the Nevada County fairgrounds Sunday morning. The sale is sponsored by the Nevada County Purebred Beef Breeders, Erol Richards, president. The sale of the champion FFA Western Nevada County Loses New Motel Installation Major S. G. Haubtman has announced that he has withdrawn his plans for building a new 40 unit motel next to the Highway Patrol office on Highway’ 20, between Grass Valley and Nevada City, due to being unable to obtain proper sewage outlets, Major Haubtman stated that he endeavored to find some satisfactory solution to his problem from the’ Grass Valley City Council, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, and. the planning.commission, without any immediate success. He did receive a letter from the Nevada County Planning Commission; which stated, in part: “In view of the fact that you have been unable in direct dealings with the Grass Valley City Council to reach a_ satisfactory solution, it would seem as if the problem was part of the generally unsatisfactory situation on practically the entire area between the city limits and the Town Talk Ridge. An intelligent solution of this whole problem would. require for engineering studies alone a sum far beyond the total budget of the Planning Commission. However, if we have a chance to talk it over with you perhaps we could make some suggestions of value. As you are probably aware, an attempt merely to form a sewer district in this area was defeated some years ago by a three-to-one vote. Perhaps it would be: different now.” Major Haubtman appeared before the planning commission to inform the members that he is foreed te abandon his plans for building a new motel at this location at this time due to not being able to obtain satisfactory sewage outlets. The planning commission didnot offer any solution to the problem at the time. ‘and NEVADA ‘ciry-G GOLD steer witeh was shown by Wayne Holm started the sale rolling. After much spirited bidding for this prime Angus steer, Earll Shine, representing Alpha Hardware Store, gave the closing bid of 41 cents per pound. Ken Casper, the exhibitor of the champion 4-H prime steer, sold his steer to C.P:A. Tractor Company of Marysville for 41 cents per pound. “Don Daniel’s choice Hereford steer was purchased by Tony Freitas for Loma Rica Ranch at 42 cents per pound, Lori Trubschenck, 4-H girl from North San Juan showing a well fitted top choice Hereford was more prosperous when the closing bid of 42 cents per pound, the Peacock Ranch, resulted in the sale of her animal. A. & H. Development liked the looks of K. Chesney’s Red Angus steer and gave the closing bid of 42 cents per pound. After having bid on all the previous animals, Don Gates, representing the Yuba River Lumber Company, got the closing bid of 41 cents per pound on David Casper’s choice steer. The bankers couldn’t let the lumber companies, the hardware stores, and the ranchers get ahead of them, so Willard Rose, Nevada City Bank of America, was the buyer at 41 cents per pound of Dave Tanner’s choice steer. Not to be outdone’ by his colleague, Herb Toudy, manager of the Grass Valley Bank of America, purchased Pat Conway’s per pound.” Gil Middleton then led his choice steer into the ring, which was purchased by the “Yuba River (See Prize Stock, Page 6) Nevada County Gold a State Fair A 20-minute film which explains old and new methods of gold mining is the highlight of the Nevada County exhibit at the 1959 California State Fair, September 2 through 13, in Sacramento.
