Jackson's Main Street.

There is short piece of Summit
street that was recently given q dress
ing of gravel through the public spirit
of Sheriff Gregory, that might be con-
sidered hint to the business men of
jackson that our Main street might be
made better by similar treatment.
For several months each year this
street, lined on both sides with bust
ness houses whose proprietors seek
trade from the general public, Is simply
a gutter of mud and a stencil to the
nostrils of our people. Now is the
time, when the roads are good, to
make an improvement. If six inches
of this gravel could be hauled on this
street and then be kept we'll sprinkled
during the dry season just beginning,
we would have street nearly as good
as macadamized street. What is the
use of waiting idly until it becomes too
late, and then scolding about our
wretched roads? Let somebody make
the move and others will surely follow;
or, why not organize a ''good roads
league, and begin right here at home
and improve Jackson's business street.
1t would add much to the business of
the town to say nothing of the addition
in attractiveness and healthfulness.
Who will start this enterprise?

The Sunday School Picnic.

The M. E. church picnic last Satur-
day, was a great success. We have
been informed by many of the old
settlers, it was the largest turnout the
Methodists ever had in Jackson. Miss
Reichling and Miss Payne had their
classes take their dinner with them and
a jolly time they had. The band music
seemed to help the boys play their
match game of baseball.
1t would be almost impossible to give
the names of all those who won the
prizes.
1t was very amusing to see the eager
ness of the young people at the tug-of-
war. Considerable interest was taken
in the ladies' race, which was won by
Miss Wilson.
The band boys did themselves proud.
They are going to make an A No.
band, which we believe will be second to
none. in a very short time
Mr.. Cain and his corps of workers
were kept busy dealing out the good
things to the picknickers.
There was some good jumping at the
running jump and all the prizes were
dealt out as fairly as possible. A good
many men took hand in putting the
stone. 1t was very easy matter to
tell who won that prize for the winner,
Mr.. Will Stark, threw it about four
feet farther than any one of the dozens
who threw the stone.
Rev. Mr.. Morrow deserves great
credit for the way he managed the
picnic. There was not a hitch in all
the programme and every person went
home feeling he had spent pleasant
day.

Austrian Creation Picnic,


The families of the Austrian Creation
OF jackson had an outing of their own
last Sunday at Badaracco's Grove,
about two miles south of town, and had
a great time in their own style. They
had music, dancing, speech making and
singing, together with grand harbe-
cue. The children especially enjoyed
the outing, helping themselves to all
they wanted free, such as cakes, nuts,
fruits, soda water and ice cream. All
parties present express themselves we'll
pleased with the days outing, and ex-
pect to have such time again in the
near future. Those present were: Mr..
and Mrs. E. Simcich, Mr.. and Mrs. J..
Bernecich and children, Mr. and Mrs.

Tried to Steal a Mine.

A novel plan to steal mine was &C.
cidentally frustrated recently in the
following manner:
Some time ago the owner of a group
of claims near Silver City in the Tintic
mining district, Utah, gave a bond
and lease on the same to Salt Lake
parties. These parties did considerable
development behind clock and kew, -
and eventually threw their option I'D
on the plea that the mine was prac-
tically valueless; yet at the same time,
they loaned the owner of the ground
50, 900, taking mortgage on the group
as security. So matters rested until
the owner, fearful that he would be un-
able to meet the payment and so lose
the property, took well-known Salt
Lake mining engineer out to inspect
the mine. The gentlemen went down
the shaft, depth of so feet or more,
and, wishing to break off some pieces
of rock or vein matter, asked his COM
panion to drop sledge down to him.
The sledge was heavy one, and when
it struck bottom produced such a
hollow sound as to cause some specula-
ton in the mind of the gentlemen max
ing the examination as to the cause
thereof. The result of careful in
spection disclosed the fact that the
shaft had been boarded over with
plank, on top of which layer of rock
and debris had been placed. 1t was
then found that the shaft continued
down distance of 300 feet or more.
from the bottom of which drift had
been run some distance on a fine BODY
OF high grade ore. The money was at
once advanced to pay off the mortgage,
the promoter organized company for
the continued development of the prop
erty and placed the bulk of the treasury
stock with Eastern capitalists, and it is
learned that it will not be long now be-
fore active and systematic work will
begin in the exploitation of this pros-
pective bonanza,
Had the owner of the claim failed in
paying off the mortgage it is more than
likely that the mortgage would now
be IN possession of this promising prop
erty. 1t was a smooth trick, but it
failed to work.

Amador County Democrat.

After a placid career of few months,
the Democrat" of Suffer Creek,
which has been shedding light in this
section for the benefit of democracy,
has been apparently snuffed out. Mr..
F. G. Head, a gentleman of San Fran
cisco, Is reported to have bought the
plant, and contenplates changing it's
character to Republican paper. Mr..
Bentley, the erst-while editor in chief,
was expected to remain and introduce
his successor to the patronizing public
of Amador county, but business seems
to have called him elsewhere and he
left suddenly, with all his belongings,
for some place else. The Democrat
supplied a long felt want in this COM
munity, and now that it has gone like
the ship that passed in the night, u
we hasten to welcome it's successor,
under whatever name it may appear,
and to extend the ''glad hand" to the
new editor.

The Catholic Bazaar.

During the week the ladies of the
Catholic church have been conducting
a fair at Love Hall with lunch attach
ment in the Dispatch building. Every
thing is beautifully decorated, and the
fair ladies of Jackson are using all the
wits and arts of the sex, to extract the
dimes and dollars from the pockets of
the reluctant but submissive popula-
ton. Fish-ponds, grab-bags, and all
the other innocent devices, are en-
ployed. The contest for the watch,
which is to be given to the most popu-
lar lady, is being pushed with great
zest by the fair contestants and their
supporters. The people of jackson
passively await the outcome. The
LEDGER trusts that the cleanup
will be all that is hoped for, and that
much good may come of it,

COMMUNICATION.

The supervisors have taken the
initiative in the matter of sanitation
for Jackson. The removal of the
cemeteries from the towns is a long
step in the right direction. Now, let
the citizens fall into line and move and
keep moving for sanitation. Let them
hasten before that scourage of insani-
tation, typhoid fever, carries off any
more victims. If you change not the
condition of your town, what can you
expect but an epidemic of typhoid fever
when the heat OF summer transforms
the refuse Of YOUR whole community
into mass of fostering filth where
typhoid germs will multiply, and from
which they will be diffused until the air
will be so contaminated that no one
will be safe even tho his own premises
are clean. Let the influential citizens
start the move and soon all will become
convinced of its necessity. Sewer pipe
costs less than collins; bitches cost less
than graves.
And that brings me back to the sub
ject of cemeteries. Where are the new
ones to be? How about d Joint eeme-
terry for jackson and Suffer- Greek To-
Gated between the two towns. Would
not that be good place? There is
always good road from either town,
and then the expense of keeping the
cemetery in proper condition would fall
more lightly on both places.
