THE EXPERTS REPORT.
RICHARD WEBB

The report of the expert appointed
some months ago to examine the books
of all county officials will be found in
another column. 1t is departure from
the usually long-drawn-Out documents
heretofore presented in that line. 1t
simply gives the conclusions reached
by the expert, without going into de-
tails of the process by which these con-
clusions have been arrived at. Sub
stantialy it gives clean record to all
the officers. The trifing Irregularities
reported cannot be- considered as indi-
eating Intentional wrOng,doing. Five
hundred dollars may seem big price
to pay for the report. Providing, how
ever, the necessary work has been
faithfully performed to warrant the
conclusions-and we have not the
slightest reason to believe otherwise
the labor involved in the investigation
cannot be measured by the mere writ
ing of the report. The report covers a
period of four years, and we must ad.
NIT that Sl25 per year is not an exorbi-
tant charge for exporting all official
records in manner that will enable
the expert to say whether Or not all
moneys due the county have been col
lected and paid into the treasury.
A steady increase of revenue from
county licenses is shown. From S7O4S
~, h.
source has increased to Ss12O.5O in 1900
Under the system in vogue years ago,
the average collections from licenses
amounted to $1,000 per year. So that
there is difference of so per cent in
favor of the present system. This, we
are willing to admit, is due not SO much
to the increase of business houses sub
ject TO license tax-although there has
been a notable gain in this respect,
especially 10 retail liquor dealers-as to
the energy OF the collector in enforcing
payment. The public would like to
have known the number OF business
houses of each class liable to pay license.
The report of the expert says that no
delinquents have been reported to the
District-Attorney for prosecution. for
the reason that there have been no de-
IinQueuts to report. If this remarkable
statement is based on thorough in
vestigatiOD, beyond the bare COMPARE
son of the books of the collector with
those of the Anditor we are free to ad-
NIT it is most amazing and fattering
record.
To realize one hundred cents on the
dollar, in doing business with hundreds
of persons during a period of four
years, is something to be proud of,
and cannot be paralleled in any other
department of the county government,
and we believe it cannot be approached
in the same department by any other
county in the state.

THE RAILROAD AGAIN.
New YORK, June 5, 1901.

NEW YORK, June 5, 1901.
EDITOR AMADOR LEDGER.
l noticed in your edition of May
18th your editorial on electric railroads
between your section of the country
and lone, in which you try to arouse
the interest for rail connection with
other towns. Permit me to remind
you that the Amador Construction
Company intends to build a steam rail-
road through your section, the Jack
son, Suffer and Amador Railroad, for
which the railroad company has the
franchise. We have spent some money
in that direction; we have surveyed
the line from lone to Martell Station
and have prepared maps, plans and
specifications and intended to go right
ahead, and l would say that this rail
road would be running to-day as a
first -class railroad if there would be
more encouragement and desire mani
tested by the people of Jackson, Suffer,
AmadOr, Drytown and Plymouth to
have the railroad built, which would
certainly be beneficial to the mines and
business people and the development OF
the resources of Amador county in
general.
The delay of building said railroad is
caused by the seeming Indifference of
the very people directly concerned and
who would be benefited by a rail con-
nection with the outside world. This
Indifference is manifested by the fact
that the land owners are asking us
exorbitant prices for the right of way
through their property, thus blocking
an enterprise by which their land
would be more accessible and valuable.
We can't understand this absence OF
public spirit and failure to recognize
the great advantage.
II the business people in your section
really want railroad, let them put
their shoulders to the wheel and HELM
along and show their desire by being
reasonable, and it will not take us long
to have the first train run into Jackson.
Very truly,
G.. BILHUBER.

sALUTAToRY.

The undersigned is too we'll known to
the readers of the Amador LEDGER to
need an introduction. Upon retiring
from the editorial control over eight
years ago, after continuous service OF
more than seventeen years, we believed
at that time We had hidden last fare
well to the LEDGER patrons as far as
shaping the policy of this journal was
concerned. But there is a fascination
about the newspaper business peculiarly
its own, and which can only be appreci-
ated by those who have actually en-
gagged therein. Nature has wisely pro-
vide6 that whatever calling an indi-
vidual may develop an aptitude for, the
inclination to follow that calling will
cling to him through life. The writer
claims no special fitness for journalistic
work. But having spent the best years
of life in that vocation, after needed
rest, he returns again to the paper of
his choice, around which gather the
shadows and the sunshine which have
contributed to darken and tighten his
pathway.
The policy of the LEDGER will be of
the same outspoken character that
stamped it in years gone by. We do
not undervalue the good opinion of our
fellow men. But we realize the utter
impossibility of pleasing every body, no
matter what course we pursued. The
editor that tries to please everyone will
fall very little short of pleasing no one;
he will fail even to please himself. We
do not propose to attempt that foolish
and impossible task. We shall strive
to earn the approval of our own con-
science-the tribunal from whose judg-
ment there is no appeal.
Particular attention will be paid to
county affairs and the interests of the
taxpayers. We shall also devote as
much space as possible to mining news
with the view of attracting capital to
invest in this staple industry.
The LEDGER will continue to be pub
lished by an incorporated company.
The writer holds, and will continue to
hold, enough of the capital stock to in
sure the permanence of his position as
editor and manager. He has no inten-
ton of again relinquishing his post.
Others will be associated with him in
the ownership of stock, but this fact
will have no bearing whatever in de-
termining the policy of the paper.
With greetings to the many SUBJ
scribers, who are still on the list, and
hoping to renew the acquaintance of
those who, from whatever cause, have
been dropped from the books, am,
Yours ever,
RICHARD WEBB.

There is cause for anxiety when a
cough hangs OH for year and can't be
shaken off. The quickest way to relieve
that anxiety is to begin at once the use
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t is cough remedy. but it is also
a great deal more. In far advanced
stages of disease, when hemorrhages
have been frequent, and there have been
emaciation and weakness, "Go1den Med
ical Discovery" has produced a perfect
cure. 1t increases the supply of the life
Auid-blood. It cleanses the blood from
impurities, and sends a current of rich,
new blood to build up the weak places
in the body with new life.
The discovery" is strictly a temper
ance medicine, non-a1coholic and nom
narcotic.
uFor one year was troubled with cough, "
writes Mr.. H. E. Curtis, of Sumner, Bremen
Co., Iowa. uAs continued to cough during the
summer, my wife became anxious, and wrote to
DR.. r. v. Pierce for medical advice. It seemed
to US that we could not 60 to better source for
advice, and so it proved, as the Golden Medical
Discovery which was recommended proved
Just the medicine to effect a cure. DR.. Pierce
and his medicines are As good as wheat, as the
farmers used to say"

Dear Sir: There are thousand ways
to cheat in our business; and whether
our neighbors suspect us of cheating or
not. depends on ourselves, our talk, our
face, our eye, our walk, our standing
straight up or crooked-our neighbors
know all about us without being told !
We are pretty well known. We are no
infant-146 years old-began business on
this little island New York; In 1854.
Have been making paint and a noise in
the world ever since,
And there isn't a man, alive or dead,
that wouldn't testify for US, If you should
stir him up.
We grind lead and zinc in linseed oil by
machinery, all together. That's our busi-
ness. We live on the profit-machinery
over hand-work. Painters mix their
paint by hand-they imagine they do
they half mix 1t. We grind together
whole-mix. Better and costs less money.
We are the very best friend the painter
has, If he knows it-yes, whether he
knows 1t or not. He can't afford not 10
know it. We are the painters customers
