Hopeful

By FRANK JENKINS
The news today?
Well, it doesn't shake any w orld
foundations, but it has its inter
esting facets.
For example:
In Nashville, Tennessee, this
morning, two radio stations and a
TV station suddenly went otf the
air. The traffic lights went dead
leaving motorists to wangle their
way through street intersections
as best they could. Elevator:
hung up between floors in the of'
fice buildings.

Imagine that if you can!
It was catastrophe, compound
ed. An atomic attack by, our ene
mies? Nope. A pigeon alighted on a

news wires tell us, a "a short cir
cuit of considerable magnitude."
The pigeon?
It's gone where you and 1
would be if we were Jiil by a
nuclear bomb.
Big news from Orovillc:
There's a new GOLD STRIKE
in the Feather River!
How come after all these
years?
Well, as everyone knows,
they're building a huge dam at
Oroville so that the Feather's
surplus waters can be impounded
and sent down below the Tehach
api to relieve the perennial
drought down that way.
Some time ago, they turned the
river from its old channel into
a new one made by man and
crews started clearing gravel
from the river's natural bed in
order to pour the concrete foot
ings for the huge new dam.
THEY FOUND BITS OF GOLD
in the old channel, and off-duty
workers are washing out as much
as several ounces in gold dust,
chips and tiny nuggets. At $35 an
ounce, that isn't to be sneezed at.
This morning's dispatches re
port that the old river bed is
crowded with amateur argonauts
working like beavers.
That brings up an ancient lale.
Back in the days of old. the
days of gold, somebody got the
idea of shortcutting tlie river at
a huge bend back up in the
mountains where the river de
scribed almost a complete cir
cle. So they drove a tunnel
through a ridge at the narrowest
point, the objective being to di
vert the river through the tunnel
and thus uncover the riffles in
the stretch left bare by tlie diver
sion. As tlie legend goes, they dug
the tunnel, at huge expenditure
of labor and cash. When it was
finished, they turned the river s
waters through it and laid bare
a long stretch of promising riffles.
Bul-
Tliey made Uie shocking discov
ery that in STILL EARLIER
vears someone had beaten them
to the idea, had in some manner
diverted the river's waters and
had TAKEN OIT AM. THE
GOLD. Thev found the old work
wing-dams and such that had
been used to do the trick But
tlie gold was gone from the rif
fles.
