It seems that on most streams

been over-alloted, and which
goes to make original water
rights valuable, so it was the
consensus of opinion that a com
mittee be set up to formulate a
program to regulate water rights
and the filing on them.

Mrs. Wilfred Pearson has a
word of advice to deer chasers:
"Naptha flakes will definitely
discourge deer from eating the
tops off your vegetables. They
will also alas, discourage you
from eating said vegetables if
applied too close to harvesting
time." The Pearsons recently
had this sad experience when
they had baby beets drowned in
butter for dinner only to find
they bore a distinct flavor of
moth balls, (and little Bambi just
laughed and laughed!)

James Stephens was held recent

with her head in a paint bucket,
her telephone rang, and friends
of Irvington, Calif., called to tell
her they would be out to her
ranch in a short while, but could
only spare a half hour of visit
ing. That half hour was chock
full of laughter and reminiscence
for Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Vayssie

"Where You Are
Paid To Save"
A few days ago we were pre
sented with several old copies
of the San Francisco Weekly
Chonicle from the year 1904.
Mrs. C. A. Day of Lake creek,
daughter of Mrs. Margaret Nuss
baum of Applegate road, found
them on her ranch and sent them
to us via her mother. We could
not help but make a comparison
between today's headlines, and
those of 1904. Last Tuesday, a
navy jet fighter broke a trans
continental speed record, and in
April, 1904, the "American
Eagle," a dirigible airship in
vented and built by Dr. August
Greth, made it's second flight
with unfortunate results. The
story tells that the motor of
the airship ceased to chug, and
we quote, "The monster finally
came to rest in che San Bruno
swamps, at a point midway be
tween the Pesthouse and the
old Bennett tannery." The article
left one unanswered question,
"what is a Pesthoue?"
Mr. and Mrs. Dean Philips and
three daughters, of San Berna
dino, Calif., were visitors at the
home of her mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Twiss.
About ten women attended
the last meeting of the Little
Applegate Knitting club, which
was held at the home of Mrs.
Edna Sawyer. During-the meet
ing, Mrs. Sawyer displayed a
hand-made quilt of exquisite
colors, which Mrs. Harry Davis
thought looked like a painting.
Mrs. Metta Buck was presented
with a gift. The next meeting
will be held on Tuesday, Aug.
20, at the home of Mrs. Ben
Twiss.
Something which most of us
take very much for granted in
our every day lives, was the
cause of a celebration at the
! home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Hawkins of Bishop creek last
week. After 22 long years, the
Hawkins had electricity installed
in their home, and Mr. and Mrs.
Al Mueller, of Arizona, were
; there to celebrate the occasion
with-them. The Mullers, who
happened to have a TV set with
I them, brought it into the house
! and everyone sat with eyes
! focused on the set.
Mrs. Hawkins, who had just
come home from, went about
her daily ritual of taking a foot
bath, but became so intrigued
; with the set, that she absent
mindly placed her foot, with
shoe and stocking on, into the
tub. Electricity is a wonderful
invention!
Rural Reflections: Our county
! clerk was momentarily torn be
1 tween emotion and civic duty
recently, as 11 year old Jim Mit
chell of Top o' the Hill proudly
stalked! into the clerk's office
and slapped an Applegate porcu
pine nose, with whiskers and
all, on the counter. After the
clerg regained her mental equili
brium, she squeamishly grabbed
i a paper towel and pleadingly
asked Jim to place the thing
' on the paper. Jim mercifully
j obliged, and the clerk gingerly
! carried "the nose" to the waste
