ERA OF OIL LAMP
ENDS P0R FAMOUS
CAMP OF '49ERS
ROTJOH AND READT. Cal. (UP)
This famous. Mother Lode mining
camp, which once voted to secede
from the Chlon, la about to achieve
Its last step in the march toward
modernization. .
Oil lamps in the old buildings
which witnessed the rip-roaring epi
sodes of 80 years ago, and In the new
cottages which have replaced rough
hewn shacks, will be replaced by elec
tric fixtures.
After more than ,80 years of exis
tence, Rough and Ready will cltck
switches for Illumination before the
end of winter.
Although it was one of the most
famous of the gold camps during
those days when yellow metal was
the magnet which drew people to
California, it faded swiftly and did
not receive enough recognition in
more modern days to place it In line
with nearby Grass Valley when power
companies provided the means of dis
posing of candles.
Now, however, with dairying, sheep
ranches orchards and revived mining
serving to make more permanent the
remaining population, Rough and
Ready a quiet little village will be
able to cook, light and heat with elec
tricity. A line is being strung from
Grass Valley.
There are few traces of the old
camp left. The hotel, built In 1850,
stands. Also tottering remains of a
saloon and W. H. Fippln's blacksmith
shop, with Its original anvils, forge
na touts, a lew Dtniwieu uuuacn,
sturdily built, remain.
Otherwise, there Is little to recall
the days when 3.000 miners dug for
gold, gambled and drank away their
earnings, moved In and out of the
jump iii ucarcn ui do tier pruopects.
The roaring camp of 1848 has become
a peaceful settlement in a rolling val
ley where some 300 persons lead a
quiet existence. ' ,
Spreading oak trees, cot ton woods
and poplars conceal most of the dig
gings on the hills which roll away In I
all directions. Half dozen modern
cottages are within easy reach of tne ,
paved highway which winds through j
the village. The old hotel, now used ;
for little besides a residence for Mrs. 1
James C. Moore and her. family It ,
once housed and fed 40 or more min
ers Is an Informal museum, so close .
to the road that many motorists atop '
to examine Its relics of the days of
49. ,
Mrs. Moore still uses a cash register j
which was among the first manufac- i
turcd. A replica is In the Smithsonian
Institution. To ring up a sale. hr !
drops a ball Into a hole marked 0. 10.
15. 3.V 30. 40 or 60 cents, 1, as or 5.
The ball rolls down a groove. At the 1
end of the day, the number of balls
In each groove shew the amount of
money which went Into the till.
The" lobby floor Is made of he
planks which graced the dance hall
on the second floor In 1850. At one
end are shelves covered with relics
powder horns, bullet moulds, can
dle holders, books from the original
school library, and a wooden last for
making shoes. ;
"We used to have many more
things here, but we can't keep oui
eyes on everyone who stroll over U
look at the old relics." Mrs. Moore ex
plains. "I suppose some of the stuff is
valuable."

An Eddie Cantor picture without

River valley, and "Strike Me Pink."
the goggle-eyed comedian's newest
laugh-and-song hit. coming Thurs
day to the Craterian theater, keeps
faith with the Cantor pictures or
the past in showing even more
beauty, if such a thing Is possible.
Based on Clarence Buddington
from the union when the Civil wai
started, but the next day "everybody
got drunk and decided to Join tne
union again." No one living here now
remembers that, however. The old
timers have passed. Mrs. Sarah Tay
lor, 82, Is the oldest resident. She
came here 66 years ago. Joe Prank,
who Is 60, was born and reared in
the camp, but that was after It had
passed through its heyday.
The present inhabitant are not j
excited about the coming of elec-i
trlclty. although they admit It prob
ably will be handy, and certainly will
be a far cry from the days when
flickering yellow light cast an uncer
tain glow over the activities of the
camp's founders.
DR. CifslFFORT
TO CLAIM POLAR
GLORY CONTESTED
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 32. (UP)
The same voice which first raised
the qtteatlon of the authenticity of
Dr. Frederic Cook's claims to dis
covery of the North Pole spoke out
today to refute the doctor's latest
"spurious bid for glory,"
The voice is that of Burwell
Browne. San Francisco explorer, now
living In retirement with htr books,
his memories and his records on one
of San Francisco's hills.
Browne Indicated he would go to
New York in April to testify when
the American Geographical Society
reconsiders Cook's claims, weighs
them against those of Admiral Rob
ert E. Peary, and renews the contro
versy which swept the world in the
fall of 1900.
The present generation had all but
forgotten the furore created by the
rival claims and Cook's later repud
lation by scientific authorities when
Cook himself revived the issue this
weak from his Chicago home by ask
ing for vindication.
Cook's action stirred into flames

The current topic, war against

"Show Them No Mercy," the anti
crime picture with Rochelle Hudson,
Bruce Cabot and Cesar Romero In
the leada, playing today and Monday
only at the Rialto theater.
This picture takes up the story
where others have left off. When
"Show Them No Mercy" opens, the
crime has been completed, the
money has been taken. The mobs

Cesar Romero retire to a cabin In
the backwoods. As fate would have
it they have as unwelcome visitors,
Rochelle Hudson, her husband. Ed

The gangsters attempt to use
Norris to pass their "hot money,"
but the net of antl-crtme closes

liquor flowed so freely as It has

sold out to the liquor traffic. On
that ground there was nothing to
