Weazel, travel- ing passenger agent for the Southern Pacific, was in Red Bluff yesterday en- deavoring to make ar- rangements for some sort of a rate with local men to carry sightseers to Mount Lassen during the coming season. He had the mat- ter up with Curtis & Gos- ney, who expect to oper- ate an auto stage line to Lassen during the coming summer. The prospect for a heavy tourist trade this year will undoubtedly lead to some arrangements in reference to the Lassen phenomena. No definite arrangements were made with Weazel yesterday. — Jan. 29, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

CAPITOL WEEKLY Water conference set in Sacramento By Cathy Wilson It is January in our gar- dens and we have had our first frosts. The trees are bare as are many of the shrubs. Our focus is now on the structures which make up our landscape— the "bare bones" of the winter garden. Without leaves the barks of many trees stand out and provide a new inter- est not noticed in previous months—some peeling as in the paper bark maples or some with lovely smooth bark as in the crepe myr- tles. We now even notice the various colors of the trunks and branches which have become prominent. Now that the structure is clearly visible it is easy to see where the tree or shrub should be pruned to keep its optimal shape. It is also easier to see where changes in your design need to be made. Last spring I added a small berm which ex- tended slightly into my rock driveway. I originally wanted to draw my guests' attention to the entrance and show off a beautiful weeping Blue Atlas Cedar tree I had just purchased. Since this was done in the height of bloom time, it all blended perfectly. However now in win- ter with just the barebones showing, I realize that I need to balance the exist- ing berm with another one similar enough to actually "frame" the entrance way, not just merely draw your attention to it. I could do exactly the same plantings to create symmetry but as any gar- dener quickly learns, no two trees ever grow alike. So instead I chose the symmetry in color. The Blue Atlas is a lovely shade of blue so I decided to se- lect the same color in an- other tree. I chose a small Blue spruce standard named Picea "Globosa. Al- though they are the same color, their structures are entirely different. All of the smaller plantings that I previously planted on the 1st berm will also be planted on the sec- ond which will tie the two berms together. So I have gone out on a limb hoping to create the perfect entrance. I will re- visit this new bed next winter to see if it worked and if my vision was ac- complished.
