The Amador Record continues top
heavywith incorporation and the bridge
questions, with uncalled-for filings at the
supervisors for doing their plain duty
on these propositions. In our judg-
ment the supervisors could not have
acted otherwise than they did on either
question, and dealt fairly with all con-
cerned. There are grave misstatements
in the flood of words which our cotem-
pOrary continues to pour over its pet
issue, which we do not propose to over
look, and which create the impression
that motives other than the welfare of
the town are hidden in the background.
The U. S. civil service commission
will hold examinations at several places
in each state, during March and April,
to secure young men and women for
the government service. $3.50 persons
secured positions last year through
these examinations. Probably 10000
appointments will be made this year.
All appointments are for life, and for
most positions only common school
education is required. Salaries at ap-
pointment vary from $500 to $1,000 a
year, with liberal promotions after
ward. Politics is not considered. This
affords a good opportunity for people
between 16 and As years of age. Those
desiring places of this kind can get full
information about them, free, by writ
ing to the Columbian Correspondence
College. Washington, d. c., and ask
ing for its Civil Service Catalogue,
