Messrs. Oliphant, Of New York.
in Aug. 1866, Mrs. George Brown. Of
Baltimore, gave $4,000 for a library build
ing fund. This was not used until it had

GOOD ROADS.
Amador Republicans Taking 1t Po
litiCaI Issue.

All over the State of California the
cry for good roads is being echoed back
to the Capital City.
Last week Amador County, through
resolutions adopted by the County Re-
publican Convention, again placed her
self on record for good roads.
Judge John f. Davis, Chairman of
the Committee on Platform and Reso-
lutiOns, who expressed the sentiment of
the people on this subject, is an ardent
advocate of improved highways, and
the fact that he has become interested
in the subject will insure favorable
consideration Of the matter in Amador
County.
The resolution referred to furnishes
some valuable points for aspiring legls-
lators. 1t reads:
I'VE congratulate the county on the
reawakened activity incident to a re-
vival of her gold mining industry. The
demand for gold in the commerce OF
the world has again started the shafts
and drifts and crosscuts and Slopes or
AmadOr. Mining and milling has been
Tesurrected to such an extent that our
county would seem to be on the eve of
an era Of prosperity and improvement,
the limits of which it would be impossi-
been thereby increased to such an eX-
tent that the problem of good roads
and their maintenance has been again
forced upon our attention in a manner
that demands some specific for its So
luton.
The law consolidating the duties or
Roadmaster and Supervisor was passed
at time when few whistles blew and
fewer mill l-wheelS were running, but
has, under the new conditions, been
found to be wholly inadequate. Under
the present system the road tax is not
collected, and the proper road work
cannot be done without the necessary
funds Those who are the beneficiaries
of roads should be the ones to carry the
greatest part Of the burden Of ex-
penSe.
ITO this end we recommend that the
present law be amended by the Lgisla-
ture, and that such legislation be passed
as will create again an office devoted eX-
cluSively to the care of the roads, en-
powering the officer to enforce the col
lection of road taxes, and insuring the
maintenance of our highways by Civ
ing him as his salary a percentage Of
the tax collected, thereby insuring the
faithful performance of his duties.

How Patrick MCHale is Thought to
Have Lost His Life.

Coroner Clark yesterday held an IN

who fell from his wagon on Monday at

Mrs. McHale testified that her hus-

some time, and for several days just
preceding the accident had scarcely
tasted food. He was quite weak and
had had fainting spells.
The supposition is that one of these
srells came over him while driving his

that one of the wheels crushed his skull.
