As We Live
Separation Needn't -Mean
End Of Romance .
When two people are fond of
each other it is natural for them
to want to be together. Moving
to another part 'of the country
under such conditions, can be
heart-breaking.
(Q) "I have been going
steady with a very fine boy
for almost four months. We
both are very fond of each
other; we share the same likes
and dislikes and ideas. We
are too young to think of mar
riage immediately, but we ,
have plans we would like to
"carry out in several years.
e 3 "Now my father tells me
we are going to move across
the continent. Our house is
already up for sale. Bill and
I are so happy we can't bear :
to part, but what can I do? J.
-, iold Bill 111 run away before
I'll leave him, but I know I
haven't got the guts. I know
if Z leave 111 probably never
get back. Maybe you think it's.
' just a silly infatuation, but he ;
is really the nicest, cleverest,
sweetest boy anyone could
hope to know. ' I know my
father will make me go when
the family moves. What can
I do?"

Think of the young men who
go into the service and are sent
thousands of miles away from
home for two or three years.
They come back to the girls
they love, and things are just as
they "were before they" parted."
If you and Bill are as much in
love - as You believe you are,
there is no reason for things not
to end happily for you. When
he is rea,dy to marry, .he can
come for you and take you with
him wherever his work . takes

Collector
Speaks on
'49 Stamps
Officers for the ensuing year
for Southern Oregon Stamp club
were installed by Clyde Smith,
one of the organizers of the club,
at the last . meeting. The presi
dent, Mrs. Mabel Houck, ap
pointed Russell Herbert sales
manager, and Mrs. Mamie
Bloomfield as program chair
man.
;, The program for the evening
was presented by Mr. Smith,
who'spoke on an album of early
day covers he calls "Days' of
'49." The collection includes
stampless covers, express covers
and others showing early day
postmarks; some of places that
are now ghost towns. Most of
the items in this collection are
from what was known as the
"southern diggings" an :area
running south from Placerville
once known as Hangtown.- -
The collection is enlivened by
pictures and articles about the
early day towns and camps,
such as Sutter's Fort, San Fran
cisco (Yerba Buena), and the
custom house at Monterey. One
particularly interesting cover
was postmarked in Scotland, in
1851, "was carried across the
isthmus of Panama, and ' deliv
ered in San Francisco. One post
marked 1855 was a patriotic
cover carried by the steamer
"Northern Light" to Nicaragua,
then by packtrain and boat to
the Pacific where it was loaded
on the steamer "Uncle Sam." It
cost 25 cents per half ounce.
Mr. Smith described how
gold was discovered in Cali
fornia in 1848, and how Sam
Brannon, who started the Cali
fornia Star, one of the first news
papers on the coast, published
the .story of the strike, and so
started the gold rush. During the
gom days most mail m Cali
fornia and Oregon was handled
by. private express companies,
he said. The first express. com
pany in Calif ornia was started
by Alexander Todd, and he is
said to have made as much as
a thousand dollars a day carry
ing mail and other articles to the
mines. He charged about $2.50
per letter when he first started
his company'..-
Until - Wells - Fargo either
bought out or forced out of
business the small 'operators,
there were between -1,500 : and
2,000 'priate companies operat
ing in California, according Jo
Mr. Smith. Most of the mail was
funneled through; San ;Francisco,
then up. the river by boat to Sac
ramento, and out to the mines. t
Some of the prize items in Mr
Smith's ... collection , are from
towns that are no more or have
changed -their' name. - These in
clude Angel's Camp-, Hangtown,
Chinese Camp, Fiddletown, Bid
well Bar, Yankee Jim, Colum
bia, Fprbestown (with a kicking
mule cancel), Volcano, Mormon
Island, Michigan Bluff, La Port,
Opher, Hornitas, Eldorado (with
the name " of the postmaster in
the cancel), Drytown, Jimtown,
Mike's Ferry, West - Point, Jack
son, Rough and Ready, Diamond
City, and Gold Hill, Calif. There
are - many - - other ghost town
covers in his 'collection, ; and
many . are , on ; rare early day
stamped envelopes. ' 'The first
were carried by " express com
panies without stamps but the
government, objected, and made
the express company have
stamps on the envelopes, but
the companies didn't cancel the
stamps and used them again.
Then the government made them
buy stamped envelopes, Mr.
Smith stated, i ,
; -Many:-people in California
during , the gold days sent their
laundry to . the Hawaiian Islands
to be done, because of the short
age, of: labor Mrv- Smith's col
lection also -includes a copy of
the famous document called
"The ' Miner's Ten Command
ments," which' listed rules and
regulations to aid a 'newcomer'
to the mine "diggings.' ; f
