WANT TO BE IN MODOC
The Lassen mail says that Homer Jack, of Bieber, informed it that there
was a strong sentiment in Bieber and Big Valley to have that valley
secede from Lassen and annexed to Modoc. The reason for this is the long
distance to Susanville, the county seat, and the extremely bad roads to
be traveled over in getting there, especially in the winter time. It is
100 miles from Bieber to Susanville, with two ranges of mountains to
cross. From Bieber to Alturas, it is 58 miles, and a State Highway to be
traveled over. Of course, there will be opposition from Lassen County,
and it is not easy to change boundary lines, and the laws are such that
changes are sometimes obtained with difficulty. We can remember when it
was a dream of N. Bieber, pioneer merchant of Bieber, that a new county
be created, taking territory from Modoc, Lassen, Siskiyou and Shasta
Counties but under the laws its establishment was impossible. However,
if that part of Big Valley that lies in Lassen is annexed to Modoc
County, the people of that valley will be largely benefited and we would
be glad to see them come into one of the best counties in the State.
A. L. Page leaves this week for Marysville where he will join his son,
Charley and will spend the winter there.
Born At Big Pine, Inyo Co., Cal., September 8, 1921, to Mr. and Mrs.

week and was taken to Sacrament for medical treatment, by her daughter,
Mrs. Roy Bolt.
Mrs. Dora Drouillard arrived here last week from the north, where she had
been on an extended trip, going as far as Vancouver, B. C. and will
remain here a few days visiting.
Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Fulton, of Bidwell was brought here
last Saturday and operated on for appendicitis at the Sanitarium by Drs.
Kennedy and Coates and she is now getting along nicely.
T. A. Wall made a visit this week to the Hayden Hill mines. He says the
Juniper is cleaning up from seven to none hundred dollars per day of
eight hours. Other properties, he says, are looking good and hopes for
the old time prosperity of the company is promising.
Last Wednesday evening, while Wib Spaldings team was standing near the
Mill, a little boy threw a rock and hit one of the horses and the team
started to run, colliding with the corner of the Whittier residence,
occupied by Pete Sansinena, breaking thru the wall and smashing the
window, and one horse got part way into the room. No damage was done to
the team.
Stressley Evans and George Gillette, who attempted to bring Modoc within
the pale of civilization a couple of months ago by holding up and
robbing, Pete Silverson of $90, were tried in the Superior court before
Judge Jamison last week and sentenced to indeterminate terms at San
Quentin for not less than one year.
While returning from Lakeview last Sunday night, the lights on the
machine driven by Mrs. Wheeler went out, coming down the grade, and the
party, consisting of Misses Nellie Strief, Viola OLeary, Geraldine Ward,
Lavelle Wheeler, and Mrs. Wheeler, and Amandus Wheeler, had a pleasant
hike of several miles into town, which was real nice, as the atmosphere
was somewhat frigid.
While unloading his truck at Gerlach, one day last week, Frank Hansen
pulled off his new fur-lined vest and laid it down and a few minutes
afterwards when he went to get it, it was gone. A train was just pulling
out and Frank had a hunch that it was carrying his property, so he wired
to Winnemucca and when the train pulled in, an officer was on hand and
found the missing property and arrested the man, who had it and brought
him back to Gerlach, where he will find that the way of the transgressor
is exceedingly hard.
