Dog Bar, near Colfax. Joe received his early education at the Magnolia School under the able Instruction of Miss Alice Perkins, a cousin of Marsh and Orrin Lowell, who was one of the best known of Placer county's educators, and who is at present residing in Auburn. In 1880 the death of Elizabeth Elder's parents and the settlement of their estate took the family back to Missouri, where they leased a farm, intending to remain in the east. In 1886, after six years, the desire to return to California became so strong that Robert Elder sold hi3 eastern interests and for the third aud last time returned to the west, settling at Bear River, on what is now known as the Elder Ranch. In 18S8, when Joe was 19 years of age, he began work in the iron mine, then in the Lone Star mine, and later found an opening with the Bear River Water a privately owned service which later became the South Yuba Water and which has since become a part of the present Pacific Gas and Electric Company system.

After four years with the company, Joe went to San Francisco where he took a position with the Independent Gas Power remaining there for two years. Having a keen desire to learn surveying and engineering, Joe affiliated himself with the Diamond Match Company, who were preparing to build railroad from Chico to Paradise, to enable them to reach their large timber belt in the high Sierras. Joe drove the first stake in the railroad construction, and helped build the first Diamond Match Company mill at Chico. Two years later, when this project was completed, he transferred to the California Door Company and took over the surveying and laying of the railroad from their timber Interests at Diamond Springs to- Cal-dor The mills at Diamond Springs are still in operation and one of the best known in the state.

As soon as this equipment can be obtained the jail will be ready for occupancy, which, as far as is known at the present time, will be after the 15th of September. In charge of construction of the building were: Campbell Construction Company of Sacramento, contractors; Al Locher of Auburn, who was appointed by the Board of Supervisors for the county.

R. R. Joe then went to work for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company under Herb Cooper, and was affiliated with the company until 1918 when ill health forced him to take a rest, and he spent the following four years at Martinez. Advised by the doctor to take outdoor work, Joe sold tickets for a river line, with an office on the wharf at Martinez. One day a three year old child fell from the wharf, and Joe, without stopping to remove hi3 clothing, made a thirty foot jump from the wharf into the swirling, muddy river, and rescued the child.

Certain that the climate of Placer county would completely restore his health, Joe returned to Auburn and affiliated himself with the Placer Land in which he 13 still an active partner. In 1934 Mr. Elder served one term as mayor of Auburn, and was A LIGHTS AND SHADOWS LIFE'S PICTURE AS GOOD Your columnist first saw the light on a small farm near Shellsburg, Iowa, in 1S63. There we enjoyed the magnificent adventure of growing to manhood amid earth's most gripping scenes. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter during all seasons Nature, the great teacher gave us forceful, stern lessons that were character builders.

We were early inured to habits of industry. Through every season we came to know long days of toil during seed time, and harvest. We had hard riding, and joined in the heavy work in the woods. We were early taught to live dangerously and fully. Be assured, however, our daily pleasures were not held within bounds.

Our world reached to each horizon's purple rim. The rolling hills, the valleys, the fields, the forests, the lake, the stream all were our personal possessions. We walked with nature. Ours was to know where the first wild strawberries ripened in the far field meadow. We knew where was to be found the wild black cherries, choke berries and wild plums, and where in Autumn, on the stream bottoms we could gather hickory nuts, butternuts and walnuts by the sackfull.

As a youth we learned the printer's trade. We lived at home, walked to town and earned $3.00 per week working on a local paper. Here working at our trade, which ha3 been called the "Ait Preservative of all Arts," we became, by force of habit and instruction, better versed in punctuation, capitalization, composition and orthography. We worked on dailies in the Middle West, later going to Dakota Territory early in 1884. Worked for E.

T. Cressey, owner of a daily paper at Huron, and later was editor and manager of a newspaper at High-more, Dakota Territory. The writer in 1886, made a return trip to the states. Our objective was the city of New Orleans. We took a position as editor and manager of a paper at DeWItt, Iowa.

Here in a happy manner we met our Waterloo in our wish to travel. This came through the gracious person of Miss Alice Butler of DeWItt. Securing a position with Editors Faulkes and Miller of the Cedar Rapids Iowa Daily Gazette. Later our wedding occurred In 1S89. Stricken with a desperate illness, our life was despaired of.

We traveled west and reached Auburn in February 1890. Here we was speedily restored to robust It has been the great pleasure of the writer to reside in Placer county more than fifty years. During that period we engaged as newspaper publisher, several times as a county officer, and three terms as a California officer the state legislative. Throughout an active life, due credit for any ambitions realized must be given to rny good wife and helpmate. Faithful companion through all of these eventful years she has ever been an angel of love of comfoit.

Today still side by side, we can imagine we are in the audience viewing the last reel of lifes' screen. The reels are showing much of light and laughter, also the quota of hardships, darkness and sorrow, such as becomes the lot of all. We will try to remember the brightest scenes, and not dwell on the periods during which there rested the heavy hand of sorrow. It. has been a good picture.
