Romance Turns Back Sierra's Historic Page

Who that loves a tale of adventure does not stir at the epic oI the '49ers? Who that gains his livelihood lrom the trees is not enthralled by the glory oI the whispering forest?

For him, this scene is drama. It has caught the vital romance of gold rush days amid an inspiring setting of timbered grandeur.

No studied stage setting this, but a chance glimpse telling us the magnetic spirit oI the old West lives, virulent, today.

Yet what has this to do with modern sawmills; what connection with roaring planers or ltnnber shipments? Only that upon these very lands, traversed by this picturesque pack train, gold was first discovered in'49. And these same lands, in thousands of acres, supply the prime Sierra Mountain grown California White and Sugar Pine Ior our mills at Standard and Tuolumne, CaliI.

Ours is Gold Medal Quality lumber from the land oI gold, with value that assays high in every piece-and ghostsof thrilling adventure in every car. May we quote?

The Charleston Contest for grown ups had to be cal'led off as there were no contestants. But the children made up for it in the Charleston for little girls.
