Appointed Gauger.

Chas. Fl. Adams, for a number of
years school teacher in this county,
and who was born and raised in Vol
cano, has received the appointment of
gauger in the internal revenue service
for the first district of California. This
district embraces San Francisco and
the dense population around the bay.
At the time of his notification of the
glad news, Mr.. Adams was teaching
school in Arizona, at a point some 40
miles from the town of Clifton. AS
soon as he could make arrangements
he left for San Francisco, and entered
upon the duties of his Office last Fri
day. 1t will be remembered that some
years ago he passed the civil service
examination, and was entered upon the
civil service list for employment. The
position of gauger in San Francisco is a
fairly lucrative one. There is no reg
ular salary attached to the Office. The
pay is SIS per day and expenses while
engaged in gauging. With full en-
plOyment, which is the case in San
Francisco, it is considered Q good thing,
particularly when it is steady job,
not subject to the vicissitudes of politics.
The duties of gauger consists in gauging
the quality of brandy and other dis
titled spirits made in the district, for
the purpose of determining the amount
OF revenue tax to be paid thereon.

A Pretty Wedding.

Early Wednesday morning October
Is, Frederick Eudey, cashier of the
Amador County Bank, and Miss
Henrietta Ginocchio were united in
wedlock at the home of the bride s
parents in Jackson. The wedding was
the outcome of an attachment between
the contracting parties that has existed
for years. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. j. J. Gleeson in
the parlOr of the handsome Ginocchio
residence, the apartments of which
were beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion.N One parlor was artistically
adorned in white and green, another
embellished in pink and green, while
the dining room was decked in canary
and green. The bride, always capti-
waiting and bes utiful, looked especially
charming, attired in white EN- broidered
crepe de chene over white taffeta. The
groom plainly proud of his prize in the
lottery of life, was attired in the con-
ventional black. Miss Lillian Castle as
bridesmaid, arrayed in pink, added a
pretty effect to the bower of green and
white arranged as loving tribute,
which formed the background for the
bridal party. Alex Eudey as best man,
appeared very brave, considering that
gossip has singled him out to become
benedict ere long. At the conclusion
of the ceremony the party and invited
guests sat down to the wedding break
fast which was spread in the spacious
dining room. After partaking of which
the happy couple started on their we'd
ding tour, amid a shower of old shoes
and rice. The wedding gifts were many
and elegant. Accompanied by the
best wishes of relatives and friends the
pair have launched upon matrimonial
life under the most joyous and auspici-
Gus surroundings. The bridal trip will

Republican Club at Plymouth.

A rousing time was had in Plymouth
on Saturday last, the occasion being
the organization of republican club
in that town. The citizens took quite
an interest in the matter, and had the
hall tastefully decorated. Four wagon
loads from Jackson went over to par
ticipate, and number from Drytown.
The hall was densely packed. 1t was
in fact one of the most enthusiastic
meetings ever held in the town. Ad-
dresses were made by F. L. Stewart
and others, which were listened to with
deep attention, and the remarks were
cheered to the echo. The Oneida glee
quartet and Jackson string orchestra,
with the Plymouth band, enlivened the
proceedings. Fred LeMoin was there
and made speech, sang song, and
made hit with the audience. At the
close of the meeting, club was Or
ganized with so mem bers, which is
more than one.fifth of the voting
strength of the two town precincts.
The republicans are standing together
for the ticket this time, and expect to
render material aid for the cause of
local reform in Amador county by
cleaning out the ruling clique that has
held sway so long to the detriment of
public interests.

Taken Suddenly III.

Miss Millie Peek was taken danger
ously i'll on Tuesday last with hernia.
Drs. Endicott and Gall were called, as
the case was urgent. They did their
utmost to relieve the patient by ex-
ternal remedies, but without avail. It
was then evident that critical surgical
operation held out the only hope Of re-
lief, and that it would have to be done
speedily, and further recommended
that the patient be taken to Stock ton
for that purpose, that being the nearest
city where the necessary appliances
and conveniences for such an under
taking were to be had. Thursday
afternoon she was conveyed to lone, to
take the afternoon train for that city.
Her sister, Mrs. Alice Jones, and her
brother Tom accompanied her, and
will remain in the city until the critical
period is passed.
NV. P. Peek received a dispatch
early this morning from Stockton,
stating that the operation had been
successfully performed, and that the
patient was resting easily.]

not averse to an increase when the
hecessity therefor was properly pre-
sented to them.
A campaign song by the Oneida Glee
Club captured the audience.
The chairman then introduced the
candidate for governor, Geo. c. Pardee.
The audience went wild when he rose
to speak. For several minutes the
cheering and shouting continued. He
said his heart was warmed indeed at
the welcome he had received. There
was no place he loved so we'll as the
mountains, with their noble men and
women. Among the mountains were
to be found the true CalifOrnians of the
pioneer days. He did not claim to be
more than other men, but he did hope
that the people, upon hearing and see
ing him, might realize that he had in
him the possibility at least of making
respectable governor of California.
He believed that California in this cleo
tion would not turn its back upon the
party of the dead Mckinley and the
living Roosevelt. He happened to be
mayor of Oakland during the times of
democratic ascendancy in national af-
fairs, when hundreds in every locality
in the state were looking for work they
could not find. In Oakland they had
in that period OF distress 600 persons
under public expense, He was in favor
of doing everything that could be done
to help the common people, because
the condition OF the working people
was the gauge OF the condition OF the
country generally. The only issue in
the campaign was the continued pros
perity of California; that they were
prosperous now there was no gain
saying. There was one hundred and
fifty million dollars more in the banks
to-day than there was five years ago.
He was in San Diego short time back,
and they wanted a speakers stand
built, and physician and lawyer had
to build it because there was not to be
found mechanic out of job in the
town. And so he had found it all over
The democrats would change all this
as they have done every time they
gained control of the nation. and intro
duced their tariff-fOr-revenue-On only
policy. He had made only two pledges.
One was to stand by the platform and
policy of his party; and the other was
that if elected governor, he would give
them as good an administration as he
could. He'would be governor, and no
man, or set of men could say to him,
you do this, or you do that. He would
represent the entire state. His Op-
ponent was good man, but he stood
on platform that he would not dis
cuss. The candidate spoke for half an
hour and was listened to attentively,
and literally cheered.
Duncan E. McKinlay was then intro
duced as the orator of the evening. He
is one of the ablest speakers on the
stump in this state and kept his audi
ence spell bound by his elOquence and
sound logic for over an hour. He took
up the issues OF the campaign from
national standpoint; showed that the
democratic party was without a policy;
that its platform was full of I'VE con-
demn, =" i've oppose, 1--WE fear" They
could point with pride to nothing that
had been accomplished during the past
few years under republican control,
when the nation had advanced to the
highest point of prosperity it had ever
attained.
The meeting dispersed after IL
o'clock, and a social dance was given
by the band as windup.

Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people we'll and
weak people strong by digesting what

blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, L. T.,
writes: For a number of years l was
troubled with indigestion and dyspep-

well as the growth of the plant on
 large scale.
 Probably the most complete demon stration of great value of a new cul- ture is in the growing of emmer, cereal somewhat resembling rye, which has been grown quite exten- sive1y in Europe during recent years, being product of Hungary. While this culture is making magnificent growth, probably even exceeding any barley, wheat or oat growth on an equal area in the valley, which is say ing great deal, the stalks and leaves are almost thread like in their dainty structure, though they will grow to as great height as barley, and will yield as many tons per acre with equal weight of seed, so dense is the mass of delicate straws. Ii is said of this plant that it is the only straw which, after being threshed, is a valuable fodder. It is certainly culture to which the farmers should give careful attention, for it appears to Be perfectly ada apted to this climate and soil, "''
 Of course these are only few, but the most important, cultures on the farm. They are good Illustrations of the value of the work being done fer the valley, and illustrate the fact that the farmers ought to give careful at tention to the problems being worked out for their benefit.

Railroad Outlook

While it is too early to speak with def initeness regarding the railroad pros poets, it is known that plans are be- ing matured which give promise of the completion of the Imperial and Gulf to connection with the Southern Pa cific at anSearlier date than has here tofore been considered probable. It is possible that temporary line will be laid into Old Beach OH the line first comtenplated,t the ground on the north ern half of the projected road being very level, and thetcest of the road be- ing very light. When it comes to building the main line of the Southern Pacific through Imperial all but ten or twelve miles of this roadb will be well located and the remainder can be easily shifted. The needs of the val ley for q railroad are so pressing that the building of the road will proba bly not be postponed until the Southern Pacific is ready to lay new and heavier rails across the desert. A $ it is, it is now consderedA possible that, trains will be running through Imperial by
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-05-17
have marked every step thus far taken.' ~.
Exact Yield of Barley

Before harvest there were those who said that Thomas Beach's barley crop would go four tons to the acre if bar ley ever did, but it was doubted by many people if barley could be made to yield such quantity 9 Mfr. Be oh says that he has kept careful account of the yield of five acres, from which he weighed out 19 tons and 1870 pounds. Afterwards he raked up two small "jags" of loose hay, carrying the total to trif1e over four tons to the acre. This hay he is selling at $17 ton, making yield of $6S an acre for barley hay. At this rate the net profit from the one crop is more than double the present price of land with water in the valley.
 This is the biggest yield of barley in the valley, but it does not greatly ex- ceed the average product of fields sown before February 1. Contrasts between this crop, which had but three irriga- tions, and other crops sown ill March and April, which are not doing nearly so well>though demanding more atten- ton, are teaching farmers the lesson that ill the Imperial valley as we'll as elsewhere farmers must SOW their crops i'll their proper seasons.3 aTllere are four good months for seeding grain, which ought to be enough.

SiISbee POStOffiCe

Just about year ago the postoffice at Imperial was established, that be- ing the first office in the valley, Some months later the postoffice at Barnes was created, and this week Dan Browning prepared his bond as post master at Sisbee, making the third postoffice created in the valley in a year. While this is continued pro- gress in the right direction, it does not meet the coming requirements, and in all probability Calexico, Eastside and the Braly tract will be asking for postoffice within another twelve months. The next step, however, ought to be in securing mail service six times week. D> 9ro.

Superintendent Elected

The directors of Imperial Water Company No. have elected Thomas Beach as superintendent. Mr. Beach is especially qualified for the position, having been in the employ of the Cal ifornia Development Company as sup erintendent of construction of the sys- tenn. He consequently knows every foot of all the laterals and is familiar with the character of the soil they traverse. He is a practical and sue cessful farmer and irrigator, and should be able to give the valley good service in his new place.
