PO LI CE LO GS Simon Hammer, aged 77 years, and a pioneer of this county, has just accom- plished a feat that will tax the strength of endurance of any young able bodied man in the world, in fact three young men who at- tempted to follow him were completely exhausted and had to abandon the at- tempt. Mr. Hammer spent sev- eral days camping with his son, Justin Ham- mer, at Catfish lake at the base of Mt. Lassen and has just returned from that section. While there climbed to the summit of Mt. Lassen, making the ascent on the south- west side, crossing over the top of the mountain through the crater, and down the north side and back to camp. The entire journey consumed about eight hours and could have been made in less time but for the fact that he and his son, who ac- companied him, lost that much time waiting three young fellows who started the trip with them. Two of the young men abandoned the attempt before they reached the timber line. The third gave up when about half way up the side of the mountain. People who are familiar with Mt. Lassen know that the ascent from the west side is the hardest route known. This fact makes the aged man's feat all the more remarkable. — Sept. 3, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

GLEANERS Food distribution schedule By Colette Bauer There is nothing more desirable in a parking lot than a tree — unless it's a $100 bill, and then it's a real toss-up. In the hot summers of Northern Cal- ifornia we vie for shady parking spots. I find my- self grateful to the busi- nesses that are thought- ful enough to provide a re- spite from the blazing sun. Some time ago I began a series of articles dealing with plants that not only survive but thrive in an in- hospitable environment — the parking lot. Tubers and rhizomes that fit this cate- gory include Daylilies, Ag- apanthus, and the Afri- can Iris. I also have written about the following bushes: The Indian Hawthorn (bal- lerina bush), the Nandina (heavenly bamboo), the Eu- onymus, Ceanothus (wild lilac), Photinia, and Buxas (boxwood). Today I will be adding two trees to this list, the Crape Myrtle and the Chinese Tallow. The deciduous Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia), which comes in bush or tree form, is a plant for all seasons. In the spring we delight in the fresh new leaves and anticipate the "in your face" bright blooms of summer. Fall brings the autumn leaf colors which in turn lead to the beautiful bark of winter. In parking lots Crape Myrtles are especially prized for their brilliant summer color. Just as the other spring colors fade, out pop the brilliant blooms of the Crape Myrtle. Crape Myrtles come to us from China (L. Indica) and Japan (L. Fauriei) and thrive in zones 8 and 9. They come in many colors including: reds of various hues, purple, lav- ender, maroon, white, and pink (which seems to be the most common). They love hot weather and need only moderate watering. Yes, perfect for parking lots but not only parking lots. In the Sacramento Valley, most yards sport at least one Crape Myrtle. My yard has only five Crape Myrtles but my intent is to add more. Since the Crape Myrtle blooms on new wood, prun- ing in the winter or early spring is recommended. One problem that I have encountered with Crape Myrtles is that they at- tract aphids. Since mine are on the periphery of the yard, the aphids really don't bother me but up close to the house or near the vege- table garden they could be a problem. Suckering can also be a problem but prun- ing takes care of that. The other possibility is to let your tree return to the bush form. I have one bush that came as a volunteer after we removed a Crape Myr- tle tree during home reno- vation. I have been very sat- isfied with my Crape Myr- tle bush. The deciduous Chinese Tallow (Triadica Sebifera) is also commonly found in parking lots. I personally have no experience with the Chinese Tallow except to park under them in the parking lot, but they re- quire only moderate wa- tering and grow to be about 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide — just enough to provide shade for several cars. They also have great fall color. The one down side to the Chinese Tallow is the mess of small white berries they drop on the ground in the Autumn. If you see this mess you will know that you are under a Chinese Tallow tree. Since there are many more trees that grow well in the parking lot environ- ment, we will be adding to the tree list which now consists of the Crape Myr- tle and the Chinese Tallow.
