SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD – CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1935

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK

Frank C. Alexander returned from Oakland, Cal., where he has been working in
the interest of the Oakland Tribune. Mr. Alexander has been down there all
winter and reports having done well. He is now getting ready for his
gardening business. He has one of the best garden spots in this section.

EAGLEVILLE RAMBLINGS

WITH APOLOGIES TO no one, it seems high time that some action be taken in
regard to the Eagleville-Cedarville road. Not so long ago there arose a
tremendous roar against the state taking over the county roads. After seeing
evidence of the county neglect, it is hard to see where state control could
be any worse.

UNCLE JESS PARMAN a bit frothy about the growing number and size of the
government game reserves.

FEUDAL WRITING of the country editors may lead to a challenge, early morning
light and cream puffs at twenty paces.

HIGH SCHOOL COMEDIANS, much in evidence at the Junior Prom. Too much so,
perhaps.

SID STREET – lending a hand to a marooned motorist.

AIR MINDED CATTLE feeding contentedly on top of a tall hay stack.

BILLIE BROWN – apparently much pleased with his recent transfer and
promotion to the San Bernardino National Forest. May the change prove as
advantageous as it may seem.

ELMER MINTO, apparently much amused by conversational ramblings.

JOHNNIE DEES, laboring mightily to put the finishing touches on his newly
remodeled gas buggy.

BARNYARD GOLF will soon be in season – horseshoes to you.

Fred Van Riper has been here for a few days the past week visiting his
brother, Arthur.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hironymous and Mrs. William Ballard spent last Sunday in
Cedarville visiting.

STELLA LINSCOTT SUCCUMBS SUDDENLY

Miss Stella Linscott, a former Surprise Valley resident, passed away at her
home in San Francisco, yesterday (Tuesday) morning, March 26th, 1935. She
was a native of Modoc County and a graduate of Nevada. She was a Past Grand
Matron of the Eastern Star and the present Grand Secretary. She leaves to
mourn her passing a sister, Dr. Louise Hector and two brothers, Earnest

BROTHER OF Mrs. A. E. NOREN PASSES SUDDENLY

Mrs. A. E. Noren and Ray Golden received the sad news Monday that their
brother Wilford had passed away suddenly at his home in San Diego. Ranger
Noren took both Mrs. Noren and Ray to Redding, where they caught the bus for
that destination. (1:4)

FORT BIDWELL HIGHLIGHTS

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Dawson and daughter, Betty from Bieber were visiting Mrs.
Dawson’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hickerson over the weekend.

The climate in Cedarville, like the reported climate of 10,000 other
settlements, is undoubtedly the finest asset that exists.

Paying cash avoids headaches.


The jokes’ on your neighbors chickens, when you fail to plant a garden.

With all nations feverishly arming for war the wonder is that we don’t have
any war.

No man will lose money if he doesn’t try and get something for nothing.

The longer we live, the longer we hope to live and the more we learn the
less we know.

People now living in Cedarville will look back, after forty years and wonder
what everyone was worried about.

LAKEVIEW MEN INJURED IN FRIDAY CAR MISHAP

William Hotchkiss of Valley Falls and George Chandler of Lakeview were

Both men are in the Lakeview hospital and Hotchkiss is the more severely
hurt. He has a broken arm, collar bone and jaw, besides a severe knee injury
and cuts and bruises. Chandler suffered a dislocated hip and cuts about the

McCormick, who recently underwent a surgical operation.

home at that place. Dr. Kennedy is in attendance.

LAKE CITY NEWS NOTES

Spring has come, yes sir, it came with a fall of snow; just about fourteen
inches here at Lake City, on the level too. Some Spring all right.

Mr. John Franklin was over to Alturas last week visiting his mother, who was
quite ill. She is reported somewhat better.

Mrs. Fred Wimer had the misfortune to fall and break two bones in her ankle,
Sunday night. She was leaving the Baptist Church after services and slipped
with the above results. Dr. Kennedy was summoned and Mrs. Wimer was made as
comfortable as possible. Monday she was taken to the General Hospital,
Alturas for further treatment.

Miss Shirley Miller is helping at the Fred Wimer home while Mrs. Wimer is in
the Hospital.

Mrs. Nannie Daniels is helping at the Jake Wimer home.

Word was received here last Monday that Mr. Horace "Grandpa" Hobbs had a
paralytic stroke and was very, very seriously ill. He is in Ashland, Oregon.
"Grandpa" has many friends here, who will regret hearing of his illness.

An epidemic of false teeth has broken out in the Wimer family. Harry had to
have one, of course, Fred not to be outdone got him a set and last but not
least their brother-in-law, John Miller got him a set. Now these boys are
sure having a good time breaking ‘em in.

Ernie Wimer was out in Nevada last week. He came in a horseback, throwing
the snow and is suffering from quite a case of snow blindness.
