sented in this city at the Academy or
Monday night. September 29th, with Miss
Helen GRAVITY. the talented and beauti-
full actress as Indiana Saltwater. the
American girl, and Lionel Adams as the
scientific Lord Canning. This production
was presented 80 nights in the Man
haitian Theatre. New York city, last sea-
sou, and there are several sets of hand
some and expensive scenery which were

pleasing perhaps is the Bungalow scene,
schowing the interior of the wealthy
ranch owners house. which is said to be
strikingly beautiful, so beautiful in fact
that spectators never fail to express their
admiration by loud applause Miss
GRAVITY brings with her to this city the
complete production.

"a RUNAWAY MATCH. "

The management of the Academy has
secured Mark E. Swans funniest OF
farces, "a Runaway Match" for Satur-
day, September 9th. matinee and night.
This is said to be the cleverest farce
in point of construction and humorous
merit that has been written in several
years. 1t is considered to be the greatest
laughing success of the present theatrical
season. The author described it as an
"effervescent ecstacy." 1t has all the
sparkle of a glass of champagne all all
the irridescent brilliancy of diamond.
The plot that hinges on mistake over
the unexpected presence of two clipping
couples at country inn, has dash and
ginger that has been seldom seen
eoualIed in modern farce. Ludicrous situa-
lions and complications crowd upon each
other in rapid succession, and the entire
piece is enlivened with d quick fire of
quibs, jakcs and epigrams.

IMPORTANT TO LAND CLAIM
ANTS.

A change has been made in the
law relating to the filing and prov
ing up on timber, stone and desert
land. Heretofore persons wanting
to take up such lands were compell-
ed to travel to the district land
office in order to do so. This in
many cases involved considerable
expense, especially when the final
proofs had to be made at the land
office also. The costs involved in
these trips, with witnesses, mill
tated against the disposal of timber
lands in this and adjoining counties.
But the present congress has
changed all this. Applications for
timber lands, and in fact every des-
cription of land, can now be made
before United States Commissioner
or clerk, the same as homestead fl
ings, and the proofs may also be
taken before these officers. More
than this, filings On land in adjoin-
ing counties, such as those in Alpine
and across the line of El Dorado,
may be made before the commits
sioner in Amador county, and vice
versa, and final proofs on such out
side land NAV also he talxep haforo
that officer. This will be a conven-
ience and saving of expense to many
settlers in neighboring counties.
Those interested in the settlement
of government land should bear this
in mind, that all matters relating to
the taking up or proving up on pub
lie land may be attended to within
the county, without the expense of
a trip to Sacramento.

Ladies and gentlemen:-I herewith
report to you the third apportionment

Upon May 10Th, 1902, the auditor of
Amador county reported to me that
there had been S43S7 sc apportioned to
the county school fund.
To this S43S7.66, l added S132. 73
which remained in the unapportioned
county school fund-making a total
Of S4520, 80.
OF this S4520.39 l have apportioned
S303S-the amount necessary to make
up the $500 and the $400 to the school
districts entitled to said amounts. l
have further appOrtioned of said
$500. 39-S1272 Is on the average daily
attendance of the school year 1900
1901, S303S I S1272. 10 S4310.15, total
amount apportioned.
The balance eunapportioned is S2l0.24.
There will be another State appOr-
tionment made about the middle of
July next; but available only for the
payment of teachers salaries.
Trustees orders for the payment of
debts other than teachers salaries
must be presented to the superintend-
ent of schools not later than June 30th,
If it is desired that payment of said
orders be made this school year.

THE PRINTING RATES.

The Ledger is well aware that 10
cents per name was charged for
printing the great register of Anna
dor county at the election held in
1900. The question at issue is, is
that the rate that has been estab-
lished by the board in accordance
with law. The county government
act requires that the supervisors
shall annually tix-the rate of adver-
tising and job printing. Now in
May, 1900, the May meeting being
the usual time in this county for
establishing the rates of county
printing-we find the following entry
upon the minutes of the board of
supervisors:
1t is moved, seconded and carried
that the printing rates of the county
OF Amador, state of California, for the
year 1900 be established the same as
for the year 1899. SIS.
The rate for printing the great
register in 1899 was % cents per
name. At the October meeting the
same year we find the following en-
try upon the minutes of the board:
1t is ordered by the board that the
rate OF printing the indexes of the
great register of Amador county, Cal
ifornia, be fixed at 10 cents per name
for 500 copies of said indexes.
Index is simply another name for
the printed great register in the
abridged form required by law.
There may be room for quibble as
to which is the legally adopted rate,
and no harm can be done in placing
the matter beyond dispute. But
aside from this point we contend
that 10 cents per name is more than
fair and Just price for the work in
volved. There is not one third of
the labor involved in the present
great register that there was in the
old; but the price has not been re-
duced in proportion to the reduction
of labor There are many other
points that demand a thorough re-
vision and definite establishment of
the printing rates. A discussion
that ensued some mon tbs ago before
the supervisors showed plainly
enough that the language used in
fixing the rates is ambiguous, and
differently construed by the parties
concerned. There is no reason why
this should be SO. Beyond this, the
price of some of the heaviest items
OF printing required at an election
is not fixed at all. We are all aware
that no rates that can be established
will cover everything that may be
required by the county; but there is
no valid reason why articles known
to be required at intervals of at least
two years, and the cost of which
runs up into the hundreds of dollars,
should not have a definite and fixed
price as the law contemplates.
