Touching Tribute to Hathaway

Our Sacramento letter, which is un-
avoidably crowded out this week, con-
tains the following touching incident:
A beautiful tribute to the memory OF
B. F. Hathaway, who died at the
Oneida mine near Jackson, occurred as
his body passed through Sacramento
on its way to Nevada City, where it
was inferred. Mr.. Hathaway had sung
at number of the rallies in Amador
county during the recent campaign,
and beautiful floral piece was sent by
Governor Pardee, Senator Ralston and
Assemblyman McKenney, to be placed
on his coffin. 1t showed that they did
not forget the services the deceased
had rendered them and their party
while alive

MOVING FOR REFORM.

Supervisor Grillo is anxious to
breai away from the method of put
ting in bills for road work which has
prevailed in this county for years,
and which the Ledger has repeated
ly called attention to as being in
conflict with law We refer to the
practice of Jumping all items for
road work in one bill, and allowing
the same to the road commissioner
instead of to the parties actually
performing the work This week
Grillo presented his first bill for
road work. He wanted the items
entered on the minutes, which, how
ever, was not done, for the reason
we presume that the account in the
aggregate was sworn to by super
visor Grillo and not by the parties
themselves In fact his bill differed
in no respect from the other road ac-
counts, and hence it followed the
course of the others. We trust,
however, that he will follow his ac-
tion up by putting in his itemized
bills hereafter sworn to by the
claimants themselves, and we have
no doubt they will. then go on
record in the minutes and be pub
lished as a part thereof. 1t is
worthy of note, that the bills for
road work under the system in vogue
in Amador county, are allowed aud
paid without the district attorneys
Endorsement thereon. He does not
indorse them as legal, neither does
he brand them as Illegal. Another
peculiar feature is that the warrants
against the road funds have not
been cancelled by the supervisors
the same as other warrants. In our
statement of warrants concelled in
connection with the supervisors
proceedings, the road funds do not
figure at all. So we are informed it
has been right along. Why this

COMMUNICATION.
AMADoR CITY, Feb. 3, 1903.
Editor Ledger:-

Noticing what has recently been
said in the papers in relation to increas-
ing the salary of judges, while think
IL would be large increase for some
counties, am certain there is a very
much lower, though very important
office, that should receive decided in
crease of salary in some way best
known to lawmakers. l refer to the
Office of constable. Here in this pros
porous township we were unable to
find proper person to take the Office
of constable and attend to the .busi-
ness, simply because there was not a
decent living in it. Our very efficient
constable of the last term, David Gray,
of Sutter Creek, who gave entire salts
faction to everyone, and who attended
to his business to the satisfaction of
adjust the man for the office--but
who frankly said she could not take
the Office because there was not enough
in it to support man of family" And
L understand there was considerable
business transacted in his Office during
his term. Now why not urge the
''powers that be" to correct this, and
see that the fees are increased to some
decent amount. 1t is not a pleasant
office. Oft times there are very dan
gerous matters to be attended to, and
we expect our peace officers to be ready
at any time and place, and they are
ready and willing to bring law breakers
to order. No matter what is done for
others, something should be done to
make the cOnstable's Office worthy of
goo0, honest, trustworthy aspirants.

to which Amador county is credite d
with a population of II, 116 against
10, 32O for the census of 1890, being
a gaiu of 796 in ten years. This is a
slow rate of increase; by no means
what it should be considering its re-
sources, and advantages in other
ways. Calaveras, QUE southern
neighbor, has Jared much better in

Has no Senatorial Bee.

An item appeared in one OF the metro
politan journals last week statiug that
Hon. John F. Davis of this place had
announced himself as a candidate for
United States senator to succeed Hon.
Thos. r. Bard two years hence, and a
number of newspapers in the state have
in consequence said some cordial things
concerning Judge Davis. As soon as
Judge Davis arrived home from San
Francisco this week, we interviewed
him concerning the rumor. He denied
that anything of the kind had taken
place, and treated the subject lightly.
"a number of senators and ex- sena-
TORS" said he, ''were guests at lunch
in the Capital Hotel restaurant in Sac
ramento last week. In the midst of
the badinage incident to such an oc-
casion, discussion arose as to the pos
sibility of the republican party carry
ing the state of Nevada two years from
now, and elerting the United States
senator there. l maintained it could
be done, but failed to impress the re-
mainder of the party with my view.

that it seemed that if was to con-
vince my bearers I'd have to GO over

thing of the past, and both sides are
jubilant and apparently satisfied
The truth is the company resumes
work on the terms they laid down
to the striking workmen in the first
place. Union men will not be dis
criminated against, and non-union
men will be employed if the company

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND
old Bones, Alum, Flint md Sulphurfc
 Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been so- licited by some of the grocers and by peddlers to try another kind of baking powder-"cheaper and just as good, as they say. This is another scheme of some baking powder manufacturer to get a new brand on the market by offer ing the grocer a large profit. House. keepers are not usually much benefited by such changes. Alum baking pow ders are generally low priced, but they are well known to be detrimental to health. Large quantities of one of them were recently seized in New York, being found to be largely composed of disappointed grains of ground flint and sulphurie acid!
 Most of the so-called phosphate pow ders are mixed with alum. The manu- facturer of phosphate powder has pat ented the process of making the princi- pal ingredient of his powder from bones digested with sulphuric acid
 Housekeepers do not want such mix lures in their food They should never encourage peddlers nor admit testers or alleged experimenters in food within their doors, and when buying baking powder should get brand we'll known to be made of cream of tartar, which is a healthful product of the grape.
