MAN ABOUT TOWN
By CLINKENBEARD CLEWS
This week we uncovered (or dis-
Covered) one of those mysteries
GREENVILLE'S HIDEAWAY
which might well be looked for in
some Class E or C movie film--i
a road that has no ending. Driving I
past the Timone place on Main]
street I noted a well traveled]
driveway that ends against a high!
board fence that has no apparent
opening . . . we'll let back-page
Bill solve the mystery--if mystery
there be.
Not wishing to be the cause of
anyone running afoul of Game
Warden Kehrer's watchful gaze,
: would correct the impression
given last week that Frank Van
1Ronlq caputred a doe . . . it,(lts
been ascertained, from Frank him-
self, that he merely served as an
ofticial guide for "Dutch" Cum-
meth, who is to be credited with
the doe. Then too, I overlooked--
for want of informationthat
"Junior" (Clarence) Olson of The
Cottonwood Club was among the
uccessful doe hunters during the
special gubernatorial season just
passed.
The forthcoming presidential
race is getting closer and (to me)
more interesting. Following are

FOOTBALLERS-PARENTS
00ETED AT ANNUAL
MONDAY
(By Ronnie Logan)
More than 120 people were pre-
sent Monday night at the annual
banquet held in the high school
cafeteria, marking the close of a
highly successful football season,
when a wonderful turkey dinner
was served at the mother-father-
son affair.
With Coach Stanley Timone act-
ing as master of ceremonies, the
occasion was highlighted by the
presentation of the football trophy
by Principal Jess Maginnis to the
co-captains, Bert Holt. and Don
Comstock, following which both
boys made appropriate remarks
of acceptance on behalf of the
team. In making tl presentation
Mr. Maginnis pointed out the ad-
vantage to athletic aspirants of a
school the size of Greenville's,
stating that every boy in the school
desiring to play on the team had
had the opportunity of so doing.
He also commended the part play-
ed by Coaches Timone and Price,
and paid tribute to the team as
a whole.
Fog the banquet, moving
pictures 'of the Greenville games
of this season were shown by
Charles Bridgman in the music
room, and were well received by
two capacity audiences.
Much credit is due Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Lemm and Mr. Sears for
their work in preparing and hand-
ling the service of, the excellent
dinner, also to their assistants,
Peggy Mullen, Marlene Farrester,
at the Hideaway Lodge in Green- i
ville, attended by a crowd of more I
than 130, including professor I
Stuart Daggett, professor of trans- I
portation at the University of Cal-
ifornia, spoke during the dinner on I
"The Significance of the Inside I
Gteway." I
'The Inside Gateway" was the
conception of Arthur Curtiss
James, chairman of the board of:
Western Pacific from 1926 to 1939,
and a dominant factor in the man-
agement of 40,000 miles of Amen-
can railroads which included the
Great Northern. James saw how
the construction of only 200 miles
of new trackage joining Great
Northern and Western Pacific
would establish a completely new
railroad route north and south
along the whole Pacific Coast, the
speaker said.
Great enthusiasm for the project
become apparent throughout the
whole West when it was announc-
ed in 1928.' Through their utility
comn4_issions ten states actively
supported the applications. There
was, of course, some opposition as
well. However, after a series of
hearings in which the many great
advantages which the line would
give to shippers, to the public and
to national defense was thoroughly
established, the Interstate Com-
merce Commission gave its appro-
val with a ceritifcate of necessity
on June 20, 1930.
ville was the scene of ceremonies
terminating a two-day observance
of the twentieth anniversary of
the completion of the high line
connecting with the Grat North-
ern, when a crowd of some 130
persons were feted at a dinner
iven by the Western Pacific rail-
road for a host of celebrities and
newspapermen including Quentin
Philpott, president of the Plumas
County Chamber of Commerce;
Cecil McIntyre, president of the
Greenville Chamber of Commerce,
H. O. Williams of the County
Chamber; E. J. Humphrey, chair-
man of the Board of Supervisors,
and Norman Johnson, publisher o£
The Record.
Highlight of the affair was an
overnight trip by special train to
Klamath Falls, returning Saturday
for ceremonies at Bieber, after
which the party journeyed to
Greenville, arriving at about 6 p.m.
on the siding near The Hideaway,
Where steps and a ramp had been
built connecting the railroad to
the county highway below the
lodge.
Following the customary cock-
tail hour, Doc and largaret Ham-
mond were hosts to the group at
the resort's dining room, where
the group enjoyed a steak dinner
especially prepared for the oc-
casion by Chef Gene, and heartily
consumed by the officials and their
guests.
Two railroad presidents, F. B.
Whitman of Western Pacific, and
possesion of a gold spike On Sat-
urday, Nov. I0, at Bieber, They
were seconded by Lucius Beeie
and Charles Clegg, noted railroad
historians and the gold spike---the
same one driven by Arthur Curtis
James on Nov. 10, 1931 joining
the Great Northern and Western
P'acific lines, was awarded to
President Budd of the Great
Extension" of the Great Northern
from Klamath Falls south and the
ll2-mite "Northern California, Ex-
tension" of Western Pacific from
Keddie in the Feather River Canyon
northward, meeting at Bieber. Our
joint trip with the G. N. Party
from the Northwest transversed
practically all of this link, Daggett
stated.
Northern, by Miss Jessie Lee Long, Ground was broken August 16,
queen of Oregon Technical Insti' 1950 near Greenville and con-
tute at Klamath Falls. It has been struction proceeded rapidly. Me-
thods were quite different from
those used in building the parent
railroads. Mechanized earth-mov-
ing equipment had displaced out-
powered Fresno scrapers and pick
and shovel "muckers." Less than
a score of mules were used on the
entire job but batteries of immense
power shovels, draglines and cat-
erpillar-drawn "Ben-Hur chariots"
tore into the mountain sides and
built up the fills, 52 tons of powder
were used in a single enormous
in the hands of the Western Paci-
fic ever since that day in 1931
and President Bud.d, feeling that
Great Northern should have it for
a while, was the challenger in this
,'affair of arms."
The two railroad presidents thus
celebrated the twentieth anniver-
sary of the opening of the Inside
Gateway, the rail route joining the
Pacific Northwest and Southern
California.
Other features of the day's cele-
brati0n included a breakfast for blast which demolished a hillside
railroad and .public officials at the and avoided another tunnel.
