Better Ely Eureka Auto Route Suggested For Shorter Trip
Report from travelers returning from the Ely to Eureka journey notes the Six Mile stretch as nearly impassable and dangerous. They advocate a Superior Antelope route via Rosevear ranch Newark valley Pancake range and on to Eureka, claiming it is about a hundred miles shorter and easier to travel. The current road needs repairs, costing a few hundred dollars to improve, and drivers are advised to use the Antelope path for now as Hamilton access remains unlikely.

Thanksgiving dancing party lights up Palisade in new Raine hall
On Thanksgiving night Palisade hosted a large dancing party at the new J. P. Raine store building. About 50 couples from Palisade and Pine Valley attended, with John Hooper and Grace Jones in charge to ensure a lively crowd. After dancing, guests moved to the Palisade Hotel for a bountiful Thanksgiving spread by E. Petersons. Nearby, J P Murphy sold the Railroad Exchange Saloon and Buckhorn property to Lee Raridan for about 3000, with Murphy planning to relocate to San Francisco. Reconstruction on the E. & P. Railroad draws undesirable visitors, prompting active policing by Constable Hawkins and Justice Requa.
