HAT CREEK. 
Few outside of Shasta county have heard of 
Hat creek, which runs fifty miles before it joins 
the Pitt river. It traverses one of the immense 
fertile sections that will be opened by a rail¬ 
road down the Pitt river or by the Hill line 
through Lassen county, says the Sacramento 
Union. This section is about seventy miles 
from a railroad and the region is only reached 
by crossing an elevation of 5,000 feet. In the 
region occupied by Plat creek. Burney and 
Goose valleys, 50,000 pounds of butter is made 
annually; lands seeded to alfalfa produce three 
crops a year with irrigation; large herds of 
cattle thrive; the country is a garden spot in 
the summer and in the fall apple orchards are 
heavily laden with the finest fruit. Owing to 
the poor transportation facilities this section 
has not advanced as rapidly as some less fa¬ 
vored but more accessible regions, but with the 
building of the railroads it will thrive and rap- 
idly settle with a large population, as the fertile 
section will support many. The climate is nei¬ 
ther intensely hot in summer nor severely cold 
in winter. 
The creeks and rivers of this region are 
great trout streams but owing to their inacces^- 
sibility to. the average sportsman "who likes 
traveling in Pullmans or automobiles, it is an 
angler’s paradise. The mountains abound in 
game. The streams furnish power to run hun¬ 
dreds of sawmills and the mountains have the 
timber to keep them busy. The scenery is grand 
and there are many beautiful waterfalls. At 
Cassel, Hat creek is 100 feet wide, and three feet 
deep and falls more than 200 feet in a distance 
of half a mile.

Sam Level’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
