THE TAX LEVY.

L HO , bcl 70 GcbA ld0S lids UGSQ llA6O
by the state board of equalization at
48 cents on each 500. This is the
lowest rate for many years, being
1.8 cents less than last years levy.
The rate for county purposes will
be fixed by the board of supervisors
at special meeting TO be held on
the 10Th instant. From the fact
that the assessment roll of Amador
county for the current year has been
increased to the tune of over two
hundred thousand dollars as COM
pared with the figures of last year,
there is reasonable ground to look
for sc ne reduction in the tax levy.
The increase of property valuation
on the basis of last years levy would
yield a revenue of nearly $4,000 more
than we had in 1900. With such a
handsome margin, in addition to the
lowering of the state tax, there
ought to be substantial reduction
in the total tax levy for state and
county purposes. While such result
might be looked for under ordinary
conditions, there are exceptional
circumstances which seem to initiate
against the hope of any material cur
tailmeut of the tax-collector's de-
mands. The special road fund has
been heavily overdrawn. The sum
of $1,000 was ordered transferred
this week from the current expense
funds 10 meet the claims already al
lowed for work done this season on
the lone road. This money will
haYe to be paid back when the
taxes for the current year are col
lected. A general election takes
place next year, and this always in
wolves considerable extra expense.
1t is really beyond the power of the
board of supervisors to accomplish
much in the way of reducing the tax
rate under existing laws, however
much disposed they may be in that
direction, and at the same time deal
justly with the various interests of
the local government. The evils we
are suffering from are the outgrowth
Of many years of monkeying with
the laws for individual and political
benefit. When our road system is
placed on a sound business footing,
instead of its present political basis;
when the fees collected by county
officials are readjusted on lines more
in conformity with reason and re-
gard for the public interests; and
when the salary schedule is placed
on more equitable footing, and the
tendency to boost them is stayed;
the taxpayers may then expect a
substantial reduction in the tax
levy, and not till then. If the
Republican administration will di-
rect its energies not only toward the
utmost economy under present con-
ditions consistent with efficiency, but
also urge such radical changes in the
laws as experience has shown to be
essential to more equitable distri-
button of the burden of government,
it will earn the gratitude of the
people of Amador county generally,
and at the same time do much to-
ward establishing republican ascen-
dancy on permanent footing.

HOP YARDS
KOla NeiS Reports on the HOr
Prospect up the Valley


HARRIsBURG, Aug. 90.--Kola Neis, ni
the firm Of Faber & Neis, of Albany,
with offices in Salem, arrived here and
visited the hopyards Of this district
Interviewed, he said:
81 find thehops of this district in first :
class condition, and fully up TO an aver.
age yield. The early hops especially
promise to be of an excellent quality
much better than in former years. All
yards are comparatively free from YER
min and therefore growers should not be
afraid to pick the hops before they are
fully matured, and with proper picking,
curing and bsling, should produce
choice article. Choice hops are always
in demand, no matter what the cond l.
ton OF the market, while inferior grades
20 begging for market or must be saori-
feed should lower prices prevail. The
hops in this locality are not as far ad'
vancsd toward maturity as in the north
ern counties Of the state"
He estimated The yield throughout
the state at about 75, 900 bales, ard say q
that although the yield appears 10 some
sections to be much lighter than last
year, on an average the hops will hold
out better in weight, and this will make
up the shortage to certain extent Mr..
Neis returned this month from trip 10
Europe and while there took occasion
to visit the hopyards of Germany and
England, He also inspected a great
many Of the yards in New York State
on his return He said:
"The yards Of Germany had rather
severe attack Of vermin toward the end
OF July, asd it looked then as though the
crop would be fully 20 per cent shorter
than last year, under the most favorable
circumstances. But this will not effect
our market, as Germany, even with that
shortage, will have some hops left to ex-
port. The English crop was in excellent
condition, and all dealers there estimate
the crop at 80 per cent more than last
year. The crop in New York State is es-
tmated at about the same as last year,
with a better quality. All yards there
are comparatively free from lice"
"These figures" said Mr.. Neis. "are
only to be taken into consideration for
the outlook at the present time as every
thing depends on weather conditions
from now until the crop is harvested. "
He said he thought the hop market
would open at about 10 cents, II nothing
should interfere with the present out

Fifteen-What he Writes About
the Trip,

| hUE lIlHs
On Monday, the twelfth dav Of
August, 1901, left McCloud, California,
with two other boys Of about my age,-
Vincent and Erny Dobrowsby of Red
ding, for the summit of Mt. Shasta.
We left McCloud at $50 a. M, and
reached the timber line at 6:l5 p. m.
There we camped over night. On the
morning of the thirteenth we left camp
at $50 for the top of the mountain.
Climbing through snow and over rocks,
up that steep trail We reached the sum.
init at 2:l0. We there visited the hot
springs which is between the two high
est peaks. We saw from distance the
great glacier and the terrible crater
Owing to the hazness Of the atmosphere
we could barely trace the outlines Of the
Sierra Nevada mountains to the east
ward. Black Butte and Mt Eddy we're
seen quite plainly.
From the valley they are giants but
from Shasta's summit they are pigmies
in comparison to Shasta's huge pile.
After gathering many very pretty
specimens of rock we started down.
In climbing this mountain most peo-
pie carry sack with them and when
coming they cit on the sack, place the
pole which they used in climbing under
one arm to serve as brake and Glide
over snow. OF course we did the same.
We had slid for about two and one half
miles, when we heard the sound Of fall
ing water. We then made our way to
the place. We saw falls which we es.
timated to te about two hundred and
fifty feet in height. They were the pret-
tiest falls that either Of us had ever seen
80 we did not regret our extra walk to
them, After staying there a short time
we again started on our way down the
mountain. We had now reached the
foot Of the main body of snow, and
were walking down the rocks when we
saw another patch Of snow. We all de.
cided to slide down because il would take
rs over shorter route to camp. The
last hundred feet of this slide was very
steep and was in the lead, with Erney
Dobrowsby little to one side and Vim
cent behind. But when we reached the
bottom, which was about fifty feet below,
| was behind The cause Of it was as fol.
lows, Vincent let himself get too much
OF a start and before / was half way
down the steep place he yelled at me TO
get out Of his way. | pushed my pole
into the snow and rolled over. Just as
did 20 he whipped by me taking the
rack was sliding on. As arose to
finish my slide | saw him rolling over
the rocks below.
BY that time his brother had reached
the bottom and | was left up there with.
out sack, but 1 managed TO slide the
rest of the way without IL, We reached
him as soon as we could and fortunately
there was small stream running by to
which we took him, washed and tied up
his wounds with our handkerchieis,
then made our way to camp which We
reached at :i5.
l also took Casper to the summit
with me. Casper is a small pup o.
about five months old.
The next morning We left for Me-
Cloud at 1880 a. m. aud reached that
place at p. m.
