  • Andivius Hedulio Vol.II by Edward Lucas White
    Andivius Hedulio Vol.II By Edward Lucas White ANDIVIUS HEDULIO VOL. II BY EDWARD LUCAS WHITE DISAPPEARANCE CHAPTER X ESCAPE At Tibur I put up at a clean little inn I had known of since boyhood, but which I had never before entered or even seen, so that I felt safe there and reasonably sure to pass as a traveller of no rank whatever. My knowledge of country ways, too, enabled me to behave like a landed proprietor of small means. After a hearty lunch I pushed boldly on up the Valerian Highway and covered the twenty-two miles between Tibur and Carseoli without visibly tiring my mount. He was no more winded nor lathered than any traveller's horse should be at the end of a day on the road. At Carseoli I again knew of a clean, quiet inn, and there I dined and slept. Thence I intended to follow the rough country roads along the Tolenus. Stream-side roads are always bad, so I allowed two days more in which to reach home, and I could hardly have done it quicker. The night after I left Carseoli I camped by a tributary of the Tolenus in a very pretty little grove. From Carseoli on the weather was fine. About the third hour of the day, on the fifth day before the Kalends of September, of a fair, bright morning, I came to my own estate. On the road nearing it I had met no one. I met no one along the woodland tracks leading into my property from that side: on my estate I met no one save just as I was about to enter my villa.

The lumber industry is one of the chief beneficiaries of the national defense program. With the forced program for victory it means that we must build 340 airplanes, two ships, and about 200 tanks a day, which are equal in work, materials, and weight to 2,000 standard American automobiles.

    6 m o u n t a i n d i s c o v e r i e s Chris Bradshaw Competition Lumberjack Written by Dan Whetzel Photography by Lance C. Bell There once was a woodchopper working on the bank of a river. One day the woodchopper’s axe accidentally fell into the river and quickly sank out of sight. Without an axe in hand the woodchopper was unable to carry out his appointed tasks, so he became despondent. As he quietly wept at the loss, Hermes took pity on him. The emissary and messenger of the Greek gods swept down from Mount Olympus and retrieved a golden axe from the river. When offered a golden axe, the woodchopper declined saying that was not his property. Hermes dived a second time into the river and Chris chopped through this log in a matter of minutes produced a silver axe that he presented to the woodsman. demonstrating his competitive skills. Again, the woodchopper indicated that was not his axe either. Hermes once again plunged into the water and Impressed with the woodcutter’s honesty, Hermes presented retrieved the axe lost earlier by the woodchopper. This time him with all three axes. The honest woodchopper, you see, the woodchopper said, “Yes, that is the axe that I lost.” was not interested in the material rewards of the two m o u n t a i n d i s c o v e r i e s 7 Facing page, left: Chris demonstrates “the UNDERHAND” Photos above show the “STANDING BLOCK” event and also chopping event.

  • Chinese Lumbermen in Verdi and Surrounding Areas
    HUMBOLDT-TOIYABE NATIONAL FOREST CARSON RANGER DISTRICT PASSPORT IN TIME THE CHINESE AND GREEN GOLD: LUMBERING IN THE SIERRAS By Sue Fawn Chung University of Nevada, Las Vegas June 2003 1 The Chinese and Green Gold: Lumbering in the Sierras By Sue Fawn Chung University of Nevada, Las Vegas June 2003 Introduction This is a preliminary study of the Chinese who were involved in the lumbering industry in the Sierra Nevada region in the late 19th century. Little is known about these men because they left no records, but through historical and archaeological research, some details have emerged. The Chinese played an important role in the lumbering boom of the 1860s- 1890s in this region and in the 1880s provided approximately 70-80% of the labor force.1 They probably began working in lumbering, often called “green gold,” as a means to supply lumber the Nevada mines, especially the Comstock (Virginia City and Gold Hill) with fuel and building needs and for the construction and fueling of the Central Pacific Railroad and other railroad lines. They worked in a large area that included the Tahoe basin and Sierras performing a variety of different tasks. Like the miners, they encountered racial discrimination, but persisted in the somewhat lucrative occupation until a combination of events forced them to move elsewhere or change their jobs. These events reached a climax in the 1886 anti-Chinese movement targeting Chinese in lumbering contributed to a departure of the Chinese. Although several studies have singled this out as the reason for the Chinese to quit this occupation, there were other factors that must be considered.
