PRIDE OF
THE HILLS

Lawmen am! deputies like Dan Troop and Johnny McKay
had their troubles with train robbers. However, there was
one railroad line in the West, the Nevada County Narrow
Gage, whose cars were never molested by badmen.

The little train connected Grass Valley and
Nevada City, California, with the Central
Pacific main line at Colfax ; and, regularly,
it made its short run with sacks of gold
stacked, unguarded, in the baggage cars.

In Colfax, Wells Fargo's men transferred
the gold to the Central Pacific which sped
it to the mint in San Francisco. Then, the
narrow gage returned, with its supplies
and passengers, to the mining country.

Everyone was proud of its engine,
the Gnm Valley, and passengers
delighted in riding the train just to
thrill at crossing the celebrated
trestle bridging the Bear River.

Perhaps there were other reasons why the homely lit-
tle train was never held up, but most people seemed
to think that, badmen refrained out of respect to
John Kidder, who was not only the owner and build-
er of the line but also manager and engineer as well.

RIGHT NOW, you're probably asking yourself -

What's a famous chefs secret
for making food taste better ?

Start asking for 7-Up with your hot dogs and all
your snacks. The fresh, clean taste of 7-Up between bites will

make your favorite foods taste extra good.
