Senator CLARK, of Montana, IN an
interview in Paris states that he will
build railroad from Salt Lake City,
Utah, to Los Angeles, all by himself,
and ask no help from any one. He
says that he wants no one to take
stock, and is not afraid of government
ownership. because if the government
ever does get control of the railroads,
it will have to pay the owners a just
compensation for them. He SAYS
further that government ownership
will never come in our time, and that
the party in power at the time the
country gets the railroads will never
be defeated because it will control the
enormous vote of the railroad employ
es and thus perpetnate itself

Col Morris Belsnap, the Republi.

turned to Louisville from . successful
round of county fairs, and is well
pleased with his reception every

we'll pleased with Col. Belknap. He
finds the Republicans solid and the
Democrats disrupted, their chronic

Christmas at the Kennedy.

A pleasing programme was rendered
at the home of Webster Smith on
Christmas eve by the M. E. Sunday
School,, recently organized at Kennedy
Heights. The younger members con-
tributed to the evenings pleasure by
recitations and vocal and instrumental
music, rendered in creditable style.
The older ones had prepared a splen-
did tree which glistened and cleaned
from floor to ceiling with fanciful dec
orations and wax tapers. This tree
held for every child pretty basket of
candy and nuts and a bright colored
bag of popcorn, besides a great store of
toys so dear to the hearts of the small
boy or girl. Fathers and mothers
were also remembered, and one and all
declared it a most joyous Christmas
time and wished success to the efforts
OF the "Picket Guards" on Kennedy
Heights.

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES.

The Angels Record reports that
one of the first steps of the Sierra
Railroad Company upon the com
pletion of their road to the bustling
town of Angels, was to offer free
transportation of fruit trees to that
point. The managers of the COM
pany are alive to the possibilities of
the foothill section as fruit growing
region. Thy want to develop a
back freight traffic, and fruit cul-
ture offers perhaps the most inviting
prospect in this direction. The
argument has been used in Amador
county, that while a railroad to the
mineral belt would have ample
freight to the mines, we have nothing
worth speaking of to ship back. 1t
would be one-sided traffic, every
thing coming in, and scarcely any
thing to send out. This argument
is fallacious. The experience of a
few years of the railroad to Angels
will suffice to explode this theory.
A railroad will develop the re-
sources of county as nothing else
can. Cheap and rapid transporta-
tion to outside markets would speed
lily work a transformation scene in
the agricultural and horticultural
outlook of central Amador. A few
miles east of Jackson the finest
potatoes and apples that can be
found in the state can be raised.
The soil of that region seems to be
peculiarly adapted for these pro-
ducts. In this direction alone, with
easy communication with the out
side world, large industry might
be maintained. AS it is, the cult
walton of these things is not de-
veloped except on small scale, to
meet the limited local demand. A
railroad to be operated by electric
power is now in contemplation from
Stockton to the mining districts Of
Tuolumne. This would be to some
extent d competing line. 1t is
strange that the far more inviting
field for railroad enterprise to the
mineral regions of Amador county,
offering as it does monopoly of the
carrying trade, should remain neg
lected. We have electric power
right at our doors. Could not the
power now used in the generation OF
light during the night time be avail.
able for operating a railroad between
Jackson and lone in daylight. 1t
does seem surprising that populous
mining center like Jackson should
be so long neglected in the way OF
railroad facilities.

The men that do business are the
persistent advertisers. Any one
can prove the truth of this from per-
sopal observation. Let him survey
the stores during business hours,
and he will find that those who pat
ronize printers ink are waiting on
customers, while those who have no
faith in advertising, and who con-
slider it a waste of money, are wait
ing for customers. If a man has
any thing to sell, and is anxious to
sell it, it is business proposition
that he let the people know it, and
the terms on which he is doing
business.

NEW OFFICIAL TERM.

Next Monday at II o'clock meridi-
an the new official term of state and
county officers commences. The
changes in Amador county will be
few, but important. U. S. Gregory,
who has held the united offices of
sheriff and tax collector since JAN
uary 1993-ten years-retires in
favor of T. K. Norman, his republi-
can competitor at the recent elec-
ton. Sylvester G. Spagnoli, who
has been the republican incumbent
of the treasurer's Office since jan
uary 1895, retires in favor of Geo.
A. Gritton, his democratic opponent.
With the exception of the deputies
employed in the sheriff's and tax
collectors office, these are the
only changes that will take
place in the personnel of the oc-
cupants of the county buildings.
W. E. Downs as county surveyor.
surrenders to W. Brown of Oleta,
not however, as a defeated candi-
date, he having declined the honor
of a denomination.
On the board of supervisors Fred
LeMoin, republican, retires in
favor of D. Burke, a democrat. and
A. B. Mclaughlin democrat, gives
place to A. Grillo, republican, so
that the political complexion of the
board for the next two years will re-
main the same.

The estimates have not been tabulated.
and the winners will not be known
for couple of weeks yet. For the in
formation of the Ledger subscribers
who participated in the guessing we
may say that the closest guess to the
correct figures by Amador guessers was
made by A. H. Bean, who guessed
z, $685. ,566; the next nearest was E.
Schwartz, with 2, ,905, 600. In the con-
test this year local participants did
much better than last year, on the vote
of Ohio, Massachusetts and Iowa. In
that contest out of 200 participants the
closest guess was over 10000 short of
the correct figures. In the present
contest there were nearly 40 persons
who guessed within 25, 600 of the cor
rect number, with larger vote by a
million than in 1901. We may say that
while it is possible for one of the ANA
dor guessers to secure prize, it is not
probable, as the difference of IS, 173
between Beams estimate and the true
figures is rather too distant to be likely
to bring down prize. However, the
lucky ones will be known in few days,
and will be published in these columns.
We may here state that we have
another offer for the Led ger subscribers
for the ensuing year, the Press Pub
liShinU A Association offarinn Q10 nnn =,
1000 cash prizes for the nearest guesses
on the total vote for governor in the

The Guessing Contest.

We have received from the Press
Publishing Company statement of
the total vote cast for governor in the
states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and
New York at the last election. The
Press Association offered s25, 900 in
cash prizes for the nearest guesses to
the correct number These prizes were
1000 in number, the highest being S15,- =
600 for the closest guesser. The SUBJ
scribers to the Amador Ledger partici-
pated in this guessing contest, every
person paying one years subscription
being entitled to guess. The official
figures show the vote cast in these
states was as follows.
