Tall timber and its processing furnishes the payrolls in the area shown above, although agriculture is becoming of growing importance as some 4,000 new lands go into production annually. This land is a haven for hay fever sufferers. Pollen count in this region is only 7, while in some parts of America it goes as high as 12,000. The region is a paradise for rock collectors and prospectors, despite the Pierce gold rush of early days. Lumberjack Days (fair time) in Autumn brings the community shown above to national attention. Thousands come to watch the almost van-ished arts of cross-cu- t sawing, tree climbing, log rolling, chopping and birling. This celebration has received coverage in many national mag-azines.

I "I REMEMBER" ' cv t::: did TiMrns From Mrs. Florence Johnston, Bend, Oregon: I remember when we lived on the old homestead in Central Montana. Then roads were only trails. Cars were unknown. Those lucky enough had a spring wagon for transportation, but homesteaders like my father Jiad only a heavy lumber wagon for summer and a home-mad- e sled for winter. The sled had runners made from planks with shoes made from old wagon wheel tires. I can remember how frightened we were when going around a steep side hill for fear the wagon would tip over. Something which often happened with the sled. No one was ever hurt, as the snow was always so deep you just spilled Into the drift of snow, to get cold and wet. When this hap-pened, we would stop at the near-est farm home to get dried out and warm, and often, fed. Father would reheat the large stones which were put under the heavy quilts that we were covered with. Once agrin warm, we were on our way. Our destination was from twenty to twenty-fiv- e miles, and that took most of the day. These trails, which surpassed for roads wound round hills, through dry creek beds and gul-ley- s, as there was little flat coun-try. The shortest route was the best way to reach any destina-tion.

Guests attending were Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Although the nation's economic recovery features both breadth and depth, it can "flame out" in 1959 because of stock market and other speculative excesses, says a Penn-sylvania State University profes-sor of banking. David McKinley, associate dean of the College of Business Admin-istration, sees as the most disturb-ing cloud on the business horizon not the upward rush of interest rates in the last few months, but the feverishness in the securities market. "If you go back fifty years you find only two other dates (1929 and 1946) In which stock prices were running at a rate of 24 times divi-dends," McKinley pointed out. In an early December analysis, McKinley noted there was talk about the Dow-Jone- s Index rising from the 550's to as high as 650 or 700. He reminded that earnings and dividends would have to rise amazingly to sustain any such rise in the Index. "More worrisome and In fact usually accompanying the end of each boom is a rush to buy 'cats and dogs' costing less than $20 a share," McKinley says, "and this trend has been In progress for months." McKinley points out that the in- - crease in the Gross National Prod-uct, gain of the Federal Reserve Index of Industrial Production, and "leading indicators" of the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Re-search continue to corroborate the breadth of the recovery, except that unemployment continues to be rather substantial. McKinley suggests a look at six of the most sensitive segments of our economy: national security purchases, private capital expend-itures, private residential non-defen- public con-struction, consumer purchases of durable goods, and changes in In-ventories of business. From the second quarter of 1957 to the same quarter in 1958, the totals of these six areas dropped $22.3 billion and three of the areas accounted for $21. S billion of the drop. They were: Inventor-ies, $10.9 billion; private capital expenditures, $6.7 billion; and con-sumer durables with automobiles accounting for most of this con-sumer durable decline, $3.9 billion. "It will take a good deal of judgement on the part of govern-ment, business, labor, and con-sumers to avoid the present f verishness in the securities mar-kets from spreading into inven-tories, basic commodities, real plant expansion, and con-sumer buying," McKinley says. "And if the 'beat the inflation' mood continues to spread into 1939, wo may expect a bad smnshup later in the year." siJiBHsBEsHBHKBIBbBssaKKa SEE US FOR EXPERT SERVICE AND QUALITY PRODUCTS DEALERS IN: CONOCO PRODUCTS CHRYSLER AND PLYMOUTH CARS ADDERLEY & NICHOLS GARAGE Chick and Ren Phone PR fjJgEMWsWpMaflsjsjsjs)ssjW mt,.HstW isj f ' HowAdvertising)( benefits you0 Advertising Saves YOU money.

Harris Clinton Roblson Phone PR We Deliver AMERICANA Cities to 8 Colorful Central City I , ' Vi , r .' i ' "rtV t , "tf Ifl Gilpin County, Colorado has been referred to as 'The Richest Square Mile on Earth" and Central City as "the center of its splen-dor." In 1859, ten years after the discovery of gold In California, John H. Gregory discovered gold at the site which now lies between Central City and Black Hawk. The news of Gregory's diggings started the second American Gold Rush bringing miners, prospectors, and fortune hunters into the wilderness soon to be known as Gilpin County. Towns sprung up all over and by October of 1859, Central City was officially designated by the Post Office Department. Central City became not only the county seat and business cen-ter for some twenty surrounding towns, but a city of wealth and poveriy, hope and despair. Car-riages filled with richly dressed ladies and gentlemen anxious 'to attend the opera or the latest show from Broadway rolled up and down the narrow hilly streets. Nota-bles from all over the world were feted at the Teller House; saloons, dance halls and gambling joints were filled with prospectors, pro-moters, adventurers, women of easy virtue, characters, now fa-miliar in history. Gilpin County led the world in gold production for many years and was also rich in silver, cop-per, lead and zinc deposits. The boom lasted until 1900 when high labor costs and the unchanging gold standard caused, many mines to shut down. Central City is still colorful. Vis-itors can see old silent movies, have Tin Type pictures taken, visit historical museums, or take jeep or horse tours of the sur-rounding area and see the three mines open to visitors. Many quaint saloons offer old time bar-room piano playing and the old music boxes and an outstanding attraction is the famed "face on the barroom floor." |
