NOTICE.

When you are about to buy suit
of clothes, it would be absurd to go
to a carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you, To reasonable people it will
appear that to buy a suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this l guarantee.
Remember mine is the only place in
Jackson where you can have this
done free of charge.
Have just received a brand new
line of spring and summer goods all
ready made and to be made UP to
order. Mems, Youths and child
ren's clothing of the latest styles.
Trusting to receive a call from
you, and thanking you for your past
favors, and soliciting the same in
the future,

Of Interest to the Public.

BERKELEY, May l, 1902.
To the Foreman. Sierra Foothill Ex-
pertinent Station, Jackson, Amador
county, Cal.
Dear Sir
There has been manifest grow
ing tendency on the part of the general
public to visit the experiment stations
on Sunday, chiefly for sightseeing and
picnicing. The stations welcome all
visitors, especially those interested in
agriculture. but as rule the farmers
can as easily come on a week day.
You will therefore lock the gates OF
the station on Sunday, place notices in
suitable places, and print this order in
the local newspapers. You will also fix
day or days each week when you
will, without fail, be on the station to
receive and give especial attention to
visitors, but you will also understand
that visitors are welcome on every week
day.
AS the fruit season Is again approach
ing, the suggestions formerly given,
but to some extent carelessly enforced,
are nov made mandatory, as follows:
l. Fruit, flowers, vegetables, etc. u,
are not to be given away, excepting as
single specimens gathered by the fore
man. The value of record is de-
stroyed when hap hazard fruit gather
ing is permitted.
.. After the records are made, there
is, of course, surplus fruit. The fore
man is entitled to all that he needs for
his own use; the rest, us heretofore, is
to be sold, and the proceeds turned into
the "Sale Fund" for the use of the
department.
ISigned) E. w. HILGARD,
Director
The foreman of the experiment sta
tion desires to call public attention to
the above orders, and to say that he
will make a point of being on hand to
receive visitors every Wednesday.

THE talk about the extension of
the railroad from lone to Jackson,
which was heard on all sides a few
weeks back, seems to have died out.
Inquiry from parties who are sup
posed to know failed to elicit fur
ther information on this subject of
such vital Importance to the resi-
dents along the mineral belt. Papers
for the right-of-way over the lands
of the lone grant were drawn up,
and with that the matter appears to
have been dropped. We trust the
scheme is not dead, but only sleep

ROAD SPRINKLING.

Our Sutter Greek cotemporary is
urging, for experimental purposes,
the sprinkling with water of five
miles of roadway between Jackson
and lone, and oil treatment of an
other five miles. This is merely to
ascertain by practical test which
method is the cheaper and the
better. We must remark that our
cotemporary is not at all modest in
its demands. It seems to have very
inflated ideas as to what can be &C
complished by the supervisors with
the very limited amount of money
available for road work this season.
Think of it! The entire distance
between Martell's station and lone
to be treated with either oil or
water, and the treatment to be of
such thorough nature that it shall
be an absolute and practical demon
stration of the comparative merits
of the two systems. To believe that
a better showing might have been
made on this thoroughfare with the
funds available in years past, is not
unreasonable, but to harbor the
notion that the entire distance can
be exhaustively treated in one sea-
son-and that too a period of ebb-
tide in road finances about the
widest dream that has been in
dulged in for many years on this
question of absorbing interest. No
doubt supervisors have been expect
ed to do great things in the past
with the road money at their COM
mand, but this fanciful flight is a
masterpiece in its way. We assum e
that the idea has been advanced in
good faith, still we have no hesita-
ton in saying that if the recon-
mendation were attempted to be
carried out, it would prove the most
disastrous and wasteful expenditure
of public funds ever witnessed on
that veritable sink of the taxpayers
money. We are satisfied the three
supervisors who have charge of the
road in question will pay little heed
to such well-meant, but evidently i'll
digested advice. Had the sugges-
tion applied to half a mile of road
way to be treated in the manner
proposed, there would have been
some plausibility init, but to include
ten miles trips the normal under
standing completely. 1t is well es-
tablished that oil poured ON any
ordinary roadway, without careful
and thorough preparation of the
road bed beforehand, is simply a
reckless waste of money No one
will have the hardihood to contend
that the lone road, or any single
mile or quarter of mile of it, is in
proper shape for the application Of
oil. To prepare five miles of it, by
grading and turnpiking it, would
consume more money than the sum
total in the road funds of all three
interested districts combined. When
the oiling experiment is tried in this
county, we trust it will be done un
der such conditions that, in the light
of the experience of other countie:
with the process, will justify the
conclusion that it is a full and fail
test OF that method. A quarter O
a mile properly treated is worth
more from a practical standpoint
than ten miles of slipshod, go-as
you-please monkey business.
