OUR COUNTY TAXES.

While the campaign was in progress
much was said about the State taxes.
When We come to look at it our county
tax looms up pretty well.
The commissioners will order the COL
lection of the following: Three mills for
regular county purposes: one mill for
poor fund; one mill for public buildings;
one mill and eight-tenths for roads and
bridges.
The county income can therefore be
calculated at pretty nearly the following:
We take figures from the last report Of
the treasurer.
County purposes, naills.....$l2, 1894
Poor fund, l mil. 4,19l. 80
Public Buildings, l mill........... 4,l9 80
Roads, | $40 mill. 7,444.00
From licenses. ...~................... 100000
Total income. .$31, 3G4.00
Should the state tax be twent; mills,
as we anticipate, the sum Of $4,000
will be drawn from this county. The
prospect is not pleasant one for Thanks
giving day.

FINE APPLEs.-Mr. Armbruster, of Neilsburg,
A miles north of here, presented us large box
excellent apples, assorted varieties, last week.
he box contained Rhode Island Greetings,
hite Winter Pearmains, Baldwins Spitzinbergs,
Lmbertwigs, and Everkeepers, all in excellent
ohontlon, and as fine a lot of apples as any
country can produce for mid Winter use, and
PETER than can be raised at an elevation less
nan l,G00 feet above tide water. The Ever

SERIOUS MINING AcclDENT.-We are under OBJ

Zoo late for his Thursdays issue: "Another Sc

TREEs.-We see some posters posted up around
town OF some Sacramento nurserynmn who
wants to sell trees to the people here. Every
man who wants trees, has home, or whose pat
ronage is worth soliciting takes county paper
and looks at the advertising columns for what
he wants. Patent medicine men and horse doc
tors advertise in this way and catch greenies, but
men who want trees look on such advertising
nurserymen as on par with those empires.

New DIsCovERY.-We have been shown some
talcose and quartz rock taken from new and

when the locality is know, look out for rush
for extensions. As yet are not at liberty to
designate the exact locality of the discovery.

o,rv SNA1-Pox-This disease has been rag
;,,, in a yiruent form in the eastern cities, and
80 far west as Chicago, and lately at Omaha and
uo,. Lake. and has now reached this coast and
county,. 1t is believed to have started in Phila-
.,e,nbia from buffalo robes and other camp
o,n;race captured from the Peigan Indians at
,be fine of the Phil Sheridan massacre of these
neonle three years ago. 1t is now in our county,
md prudence dictates that we should prepare for
:. bere. and in all the towns and settlements Of
the county A family lately arrived from the
Fast and stopping at Roclllin, is down with it,
and one of the cases is hopeless. At Arcade
o,ot,or case or two has occurred. At Marysville
Il has also appeared, and there is no telling the
tav or hour when it may appear IN our midst
II will be too late to prevent the spread of this
terrible disease after it has once reached our
town. DR.. Dubois, the county physician, feels
tbe importance of some preparation in advance,
in view of the strong probability of the disease
being brought to Auburn and after consulta-
tion with him, we have about this to say: First,
q nest-bouse can be constructed on or near the
Hosrital grounds for four or five hundred dol
lars. and nurses procured to meet emergencies
and prevent the spread ol te uise'1Se on l's hIs'
outbreak. Should the disease spread the build
ing and accommodations could be enlarged.
Second that vaccination should be at once at
tended to, the proof of former incubation only
being reliable when kline vaccine matter refuses
to take. These reflections we present to the
people of Auburn, as well as to all the towns
and communities in the county. The disease is
ON all sides of us, and we submit if it would not
be well to talk the danger over and call meeting
and see what action our people will take. In
time of peace prepare for war is no more true
than in time Of health we should prepare for
sickness. We are ready to cooperate III any
movement of our people to prevent or alleviate
any afilicton this loathsome and dangerous dis
ease may threaten or visit on this community.

but that after the chores were all done
for the night father would 60 out on the
hillside and see how that new sled be-
haved, while mother washed the dishes.
And when after much persuading father
was at last prevailed upon to try just
one ride down the hill, how funny it was
to see that unruly sled turn suddenly to
one side, sending him unexpectedly into
that great bank of soft white SNOW
Somebody laughed then, and so they did
again little later when recounting the

FIRE; and mother laughed, and as she
drew the curly headed boy down beside
her. very kindly and lovingly she adj

his elders. But all this was in the old

We don't like miniature men filled full,

Tnr AppoRrloNMENT Bill having
passed both houses Of Congress will
probably receive the signature OF the
President and at once become q law
This law requires the State to be d.
vided into nine Congressional repre-

near AS may be one hundred and thirty
eight thousand eight hundred inhabl'
tants. For the purpose of carrying into
effect this law the Legislature will prob
ably be called together in March next
Tor the purpose of redistricting the State

into nine Districts and among them We

gard Che proposition as one gotten up IN

is more accessible to all It's parts, US
general thing, and greater community
Of interest lis likely to result. 1t Is IN
every way fair and does not bear On its
