CLOSURE Jellys Ferry bridge repairs planned By Millie Seiber It is pretty satisfying to look at the garden at this time and count the survi- vors. Between the hottest July on record and hav- ing to cut back on water- ing I'm amazed at how many not only survived but seemed to thrive. Even the little bitty trees that came from the Arbor Day people are out there shouting "Look at me." Of course, half of them are native redbuds which gave them an advantage. Most of the other little trees made it also, as they in- cluded crepe myrtles who love the hot weather. A lot of the plants which seemed to thrive under harsh conditions were some of my favorites: the Matilija Poppy (Rom- neya coulteri) for instance. This plant came from a small one-gallon container planted last Spring which decided to take over the area where it was planted. It bloomed profusely and had to be tied back before it overwhelmed the little redbud tree next to it. I've always been an admirer of these large white blossoms they even seem luminous at night. Another native which came through as though it enjoyed the summer is the lion's tail (Leonatus leonurus). I first met this plant at the Sacramento River Discovery Center garden. It can get rather sprawly but so far this new one has stayed erect. It produces orange flowers along the last third of the stem which sort of look like the end of a lion's tail. There is also a newly planted ceanothus out there which has enjoyed the summer. From a small one-gallon beginning it has spread out in all di- rections. Instructions I was given about these plants were that they didn't really need much water. Seems as though that was right on. This newby hasn't bloomed yet but I'm expecting. Three other plants I put in this last spring made me stand back and gawk at their growth. They are abutilons. One has patch- work leaves and pale or- ange flowers. The other two have pink flowers and normal leaves I met a man in San Francisco years ago who lives near the Park panhandle on land he said came from a Spanish land grant. He was fas- cinated by abutilons and was cross-breeding them like crazy. So when I saw all the abutilons they had at the nursery in Auburn I just had to have them. I get carried away some- times. I am a little sur- prised that they thrive in our climate, since the area where they were growing in San Francisco was fre- quently foggy and very different. All in all I am pleased to see that this difficult summer and holding back on water didn't have much of an effect.

CORNING Pa tr io ts g ro up c ha ng es m ee ti ng p la ce William Kearny, a well known member of the San Francisco police force, was brought to Red Bluff yester- day by Andrew Schafer and N. A. Gernon, and left last night for San Francisco to obtain treatment for a dis- located ankle. Kearny was hunting Wednesday with Schafer when a big deer was killed. Kearny insisted on attempt- ing to carry the game into camp although advised by Shafer that it was too big a load. The policeman started with the animal on his back and had gone but a few yards when he stepped in a squirrel hold and fell, dislocating his ankle. Scha- fer twisted the joint back into place but Kearny was unable to walk and Scha- fer went back to camp for horses to bring in both the man and the deer. Kearny was hunting near Grassy Lake in Plumas County, in company with a number of other San Fran- cisco policemen. He is well known in red Bluff having made this city headquar- ters for a number of hunt- ing trips in past years. — Sept. 17, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
