Tho personal property shows up as
follows by comparison!

Total Increase In personal proporty..s il9,6ss
The increase in improvements on
real estate was SlOS. $40, and on personal
property SiiO,6SS, a total OF Sj5S,52S.
Mr.. Jones rather surprised the OK
ports by finding 80 many persons liable
to pay poll tax who were mot on the tax
lists before. His increase OF SOL, ID un.
precedented, and considering the sort OF
times that have existed, is certainly
surprising, and shows that he Is the
right man for the place.
Mr.. Bowers, assessor for the district
south OF the creek, has not yOt finished
his work, but his books will also show
an increase, while the same is expected
to 6e true of the county ]assessors' re-
turns. Assessor Blanchard, OF the CITY
district, has about finished his work,
and in the amounts OF personal pro.
perty alone tho increase will reach
nearly $4,000.
These facts certainly go to chow that
tho community Is in a healthy condi'
ton. Over the river tho assesaors'
figures in nearly every case show a de-
pYaaRA.

ROAD SCIENCE.

Exemplifications for Legislators-Sand
and Clay and Trap Rock Samples.
Thht good road construction is not a
common thing to which any one can
turn his hand with success without
knowledge of certain economic scientific
principles and methods of handling ma
Ierial, was demonstrated yesterday in
one way to group of legislators at the
Capitol by road engineer.
He showed how. by ascertainment of
percentages, by proper union of clayey and
sandy soils, in definite proportions, a
hard, compact eIaslc ana very durable
and very cheap road track can be made
by pudding where stone or gravel can
not be had.
Thus in sandy soils this kind of road is
always feasible. For in all such soils in
California there are in roads some
stretches or patches, or deposits of clayey
character. When the units of sharp
Band, he explained, are mingled with
other SOIL components so that the inter-
spaces are filled and binder made, the
result is, under pudding. very much the
same as when broken stone, representing
the SAND units, is packed, and the inter
spaces hlled with screenings or stone
DUST ana the whole Wetted and rolled,
Ghus forming macadam.
Small samples of this method of scien-
titically treating sandy soils for roads
nave been prepared by request of the
engineers on the Senate and House Road
Commission, and are to be given to iegis-
lators for examination. Samples of blue
trap-rock from the States grounds at
Folsom have been brought down and
put into small paper boxes tor legislators,
that they may test its strain and breaking
capacity, and see what it is that General
Stone declared to be mine of wealth to
the State and means to economy and
prosperity.
The method of economically treating
several stones for road work is explained
very clearly in numerous pamphlets that
have been sent to the members of the
Legislature from the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, and thus gem
orally information as to modern expert
snce in cheap, good bodybuilding is aug
mentipg and will further increase when
California conditions are more explored
aud understood.

The Keystone of the Arch

In the matter of health is vigor, which
means not merely muscular energy. but
an active discharge of the various func-
tons OF the body, such as digestion, secre-
ton of bile, the action of the bowels the
circulation of the blood. Nothing more
actively and thoroughly contributes to
the united performance Of these functions
than the renowned tonic and regulator.
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. The result
OF It's use IS speedy gain in strength.
together with the agreeable consciousness
that the tenure of life is being strength
ened-that one is laying up store of vi
tally against the unavoidable draughts
which. old age makes upon the system.
The tortifying influence of the Bitters

Appetite and sleep improve through its
use, and 1t protects the system from the

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The "Tribune Almanac" (The Tribune
Association, New York. is at hand for
1885, 1t is edited by Edward Mcpherson
ana Henry +. Rhoads. 1t is, in our
opinion, the completest number ever is
sued OF this invaluable political register
1t Is reference and statistical work that
is not surpassed for exhaustive quality,
accuracy and wide range. OF nearly 400
pages, it's all embracing in It's directory
and statistical exposition Of affairs of
state, ana affairs political, of matters
relative to all leading fraternal, industrial
ana commercial organizations, of educa-
tIonal institutions, of population, produce
ton ande trade in the United States, OF
science and art institutions, of postal
revenue and other laws. Of foreign trade,
OF public debt, and so on to the end of a
long chapter we might write relating
simply TO the title of contents. 1t treats
not only OF elections, Governments. etc..
statIstlcalIy, but of games, sports,
records in games and sports, of churches,
GIVES, the army and navy, of colleges
and universities, divorce laws, land laws,
foreign Governments, railroad statistics,
etc.
The Daily News Almanac" Chicago
Dd1ty NewS) for 1895 is on our table. We
thought the issue of 1894 fine, but the
present volume is its superior. 1t is
really year book and complete politi-
cal register. Differing from the Tribune
Almanac" it is yet of the same order of
publication. Ii has over 400 pages, and
there is no wasted room upon any of
them. Its more prominent features,
among host, are tables of exports and
imports, both Of merchandise, products
OF the farm and Of the mine; tariffs, old
and new; labor statistics and disturb
ances; history of the great strike and the
commOnweal armies; arbitration, pro-
portiOnal representation; the referendum
the Gothenburg system; sketches of the
men of the year; foreign coin tables;
utterances of the President; party plat
forms; the consular service; list of Presi-
dents; qualifications for suffrage; politi-
cal committees; important legislation:
oranges and alliances; silver and gold
statistics; railway mileage; postal rates:
bountles; sport records; business failures:
election returns; civil lists, etc. 1t is a
volume without which the busy man will
be put to loss OF time and money. Either
this or some similar ready reference and
statistical register is a need for business
men and publicists. We doubt if they
can find better one than that under
notice.
