WON'T LET HOBSON GO.
Navy Department Loath to Give Tn
the Lieutenant Who Wants
to Resign.

Washington. Feb. 4.-The navy de-
partment is unwilling to allow Con-
structor Hobson to retire from the
navy, even upon resignation outright
and the abandonment of the privilege
of going upon the retired list. The
reason for the unwillingness is the
pressing need of the construction
corps for the services of just such
young officers as Mr.. Hobson, and the
effort will be made to induce him to
remain on active duty. The construc-
ton corps has lost the services of four
able officers during the past year, and
with the rapidly increasing amount of
construction work the navy depart
ment feels that it must stop the drain.

The supervisors will meet next
Monday as board of equalization,
to raise or lower individual assess
ments as each case may require on
a proper presentation thereof From
unofficial figures published in an
other column, it will be seen that
the taxable property in Amador
county has increased to the extent t
of nearly $3OO,OO over the figures
of last year. This is very gratifying
assuming that the raise is based on
an actual increase in property
values. We do not know what class
of property is chiefly concerned in
these augmented figures, We give
elsewhere list of the principal tax
payers of the county, which may
be of practical value at this time
The smaller property holders, upon
whom the task of contributing their
semi-annual quota toward the ex-
penses falls heavily, we are unable
to reach with such information.
This is the time for every property
holder to look up his standing on
the assessment roll, so that any
grievance he may have on this par
ticular score may be presented with
in the statutory time to the proper
authorities for adjustment.

LICENSE COLLECTIONS.

There is one branch of the county
revenue system that promises this
year to loom up well by comparison
with former years. We refer to col
lections from county licenses. Tax
collector Norman has been in office
six months. He has made two quar-
terly settlements as license collector.
The total paid in for the half year
is considerably in excess of the sum
received from this source for like
period in the history of Amador
county. For the first quarter the
receipts we're s2433, and for the sec
ond quarter quarter $2553. 80; max
ing a total of 1896. 80 for the half
year. This showing indicates rev.
enue of $4,000 for the year. Prior
to September, 1899, the license col,
Amador ledger., 1903-07-17
,ctions never reached $4,000 il

lections never reached $4,000 in any
quarter. For the last three years
of the preceding administration the
receipts, including the ten per cent
commission allowed the collector,
were as follows 1900, $91O2. 80 !;
1901, $9521 80; 1902, $8S18. 80. The
first half of the current year shows
an average of nearly 800 per month
over the collections of the preceding
year, This is a gratifying record. 1t
shows that the collector is diligently
and faithfully attending to this i'm
portant branch of his duties as a
public officer.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonfui. 1t acts directly on the
blood and muscous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.
