Office of the Company in Jackson, on

the Del Monte ground at depth of
from 400 to 500 feet. At the same time

Electric Railroad.

Our Suffer Creek contemporaries
have given their readers various re-
ports, said to be authentic, about the
electric road from lone to Suffer Greek
and vicinity. The LEDGER has no in
formation on the subject as to the in
tentions of the Amador Electric Rail
way Company. But the people of
Jackson might do worse than to start
some discussion on the subject of line
from lone to Jackson, with a possible
branch to Suffer Creek and the towns
lying to the north. A little enterprise
on the part of our leading business
men, might induce the Standard Elec-
trio people to take hold OF such a
project, and if they did there is no
question but that it would be a paying
thing. In the east, scarcely town of
the size of Jackson can be found that
has not some line of electric road con-
Meeting it with outlying tow MS, even
when they have good steam railroad
facilities. How much more then, ought
Jackson, with its large business and
mining interests, to take such action as
would lead to better connections with
the outside world. An electric line to
lone would do more for Amador county
in the way of opening up the territory
around here to business enterprise and
settlement, than any thing else that
could be done. Why not call a meet
ing Of business men and start the ball
to rolling? The LEDGER makes the
suggestion, now is the time to act or
we may sleep away here for another
half century.

THE JILTING HABIT.
Women Are Becoming More Careful
in Choosing Men.

From the London Express.
A correspondent complains of the
great prevalence of jilting. He admits
that he has been Tilted by no fewer
than three different young women this
century, and he plaintively asks the
Express to go to his assistance py
reading a moral lesson to the filters
that will cause them to mend their
ways. 1t is not difficult to realize that
the jilting habit is really growing. Since
woman became what she is pleased TO
term "emancipated," she takes fewer
chances in selecting life partner. Inc
independence of woman carries with
it an increased radius of action with
regard to the treatment of fiances.
In days which, alas! are no more, the
woman who had once plighted her
troth was captured. She was so much
fish in the basket, an actual asset
which could not get away. But in these
revolutionary times a man cannot be
sure of a girl just because she wears
his engagement ring. He has to mlnd
his p's and as up to the very moment
of walking to the altar. He must not
count upon his fiancee as a chicken
that is Matched. She may roll out or
the basket and escape him.
This makes it very trying for the
the chances which the girl enjoys of
having a good time. Often she regards
the engagement as provisional affair,
and one that will last only during good
behavior. Thereupon the man pro-
ceeds to behave. The chances are,
therefore, that if our correspondent has
been Tilted three times this year he has
well deserved his fate. Perhaps 1t would
have been justifiable for eight girls to
jilt him, or even nine.
All sorts of troubles ensue when
vain becomes certain. He often counts
100 much upon his beautiful eyes or
his winning ways. Suddenly something
happens There is a pronounced shock
and before he knows where he is ne
finds himself out upon the pavement
daZed and disengaged being. Yes, the
lifting habit is growing. Women are
getting more particular A long NOUS
tache, followed by ten stone of con-
ceited substance fashioned in general
way after the contour of a man, is not
enough to satisfy them.
