tors and Judges of election. In appointing ell
ection officers, the rule was adopted to give
each of the three parties, having county tickets
in the field, a representative on the Board, with
occasionally a Bell and Everett man. The
number of precincts will be somewhat less than
last year, and no new precincts have been es-
tablished except in places where twas made to
appear that as many as thirty votes would be
cast. The precincts of Pleasant Flat and Gold
Hill, in Nevada township, and Jackass Flat,
Poorman Creek and Bear Valley, in Washing
ton township, have been abolished. Jackass
Flat, or Jefferson, is not over mile and half
from Washington, and the Board have no right
10 establish precincts at both points. The cleo
ton proclamation and list of precincts will be
written up some time tomorrow, and we shall
endeavor to publish it in our next issue.
