County Game Warden.

Chez ArdittO OF Jackson was appoint
ed county game warden by the board
OF supervisors at their last regular
meeting by unanimous vote. The
appointment was made in compliance
with petitions presented from each
township in the county. The appoint
ment is a commendable one, as Mr..
Arditto is true sportsman and is in
terested in the protection of the game
and fish within our borders. He volun-
teered to serve without compensation,
with only actual travelling expenses al
lowed. This is an important Office,
and is step in the right direction, as
it is well-known fact that uuscrup-
ulous men have been in the habit OF
''driving" the trout streams, while
others make it a practice of shooting
quails and doves during the nesting
period. 1t is hoped that every good
citizen in the county, whether or not
he is lover of hunting or fishing, will
report to the warden all violations oil
the law that may come under their OBJ
servation, in order that all gailty
parties should be severely punished.

Crop Outlook.

The farmers prospects are much
more encouraging than they were three
weeks ago. The long dry spring
caused everyone to believe that a very
light hay and grain crop would be har-
vested. The grain Notwithstanding
the weather conditions, has taken mat
ters in its own hands, and has grown
and filed out in spite of all obstacles.
In the vicinity of Jackson and Sutter
Creek the hay yield will be lighter than
the average of former years. Ply
mouth has a good crop; Shenandoah
and Oleta better, and we'll up to the
average. Lancha Plaua aud Jackson
valley will have a heavy crop, far
above expectations. lone valley has
suffered the most on account of lack OF
rain. The fruit crop is expected to be
short, but it is early yet, and if the
fruit trees do as we'll as the grain under
similar circumstances, the farmers will
be we'll satisfied with the results.
What will be lacking in quantity will
undoubtedly be made up for in quality
and price.

in the sixth-fourth year of their age.
Frank Hoffman pursued his educa-
tion in the schools of his native land
until he had attained the age of thir-
teen years. In 1874, at the age OF nine
teen, be came to the United States,
having but little money and little ex-
perience in the ways OF the world. He
was not familiar with the English
language or the customs of the country,
but he readily adapted himself to the
latter and soon mastered the former.
Locating in St. Louis, Missouri, he
learned the butchers trade, and in
1850 he crossed the plains, with mule
teams, with company of sixty-two
families journeying westward with the
hope OF acq uiring fortune on the Pa
citic slope. His first experience in Cali
fornia was at Mud Springs, where he
worked at the butcher business. After
which he spent several months mining
and farming on the Mokelumne river.
In June, 1852, he embarked in the
livery business in Jackson, and sue
cessfully conducted the business until
1885, when he sold out and retired
from active business.
In 1862 Mr.. Hoffman was married to
Miss Christina Klamm, native of
Germany.
In 1859 Mr.. Hoffman had purchased
the forty acres of land upon which he
resided-the tract adjoining the town
site OF Jackson. Since then he has
added to the property until he now
has two hundred acres, the place being
improved with large barns and fine
residence. He has also erected num-
Der of other good dwellings. and from
his property investments derived a
good income. He also had various
mining interests, and had met with
creditable success in his business af-
fairs during the greater part of his life.
This has resulted from industry,
economy, capable management and
sound judgment.
The direct cause of Mr. Hoffman s
rash act was undoubtedly the result of
grief and lonliness on account OF the
death of his wife about two months
ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoffman were a
devoted couple and the husband could
not stand the loss of the loving wife
who had been his helpmate and COM
panion for so many years. He has no
children but has several nephews and
nieces living in Jackson.
The estate is estimated at over $4,000

Well Earned Recognition.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Taylor and son
Walter left yesterday morning for an
extended eastern trip of four month s
duration. Before going east, however,
they will spend week or ten days in
after which they will go to Reno. New,
daug hter, Mrs. Cox. From Reno they
will journey toward the rising sun,
visiting all the principal cities as far
east as Maine, Mrs. Taylor's native
state. The return trip will be by
either one of the northern or southern
routes, yet to be decided upon. Mr.
Taylor has been the foreman of the
Zeila mill for over twenty years, and
has been constantly in the harness, an
energetic worker in the interest of his
employers, who in recognition of his
faithfulness in the performance of his
duties, granted Mr.. Taylor a four
months leave of absence, and in further
appreciation of the esteem in which the
employe was held by the employer, the
Zeila Mining Co. presented Mr.. Taylor
on the eve OF his departure, with
beautiful gold watch and chain, ap-
propriately engraved, and bearing the
best wishes and good will of the doners
Mr.. Taylor is justly proud of his
present, as the watch is a handsome
timepiece, and the chain, emblematic
of the recipient S vocation, is made of
small quartz heavily mounted with
gold, and exhibits the best work of the
j weler's art. The act of good will
shown by the company was as much
by Mr.. Taylor as the gift
itself, and only tends to strengthen the
bonds that should exist between the
employer and employe,

Always Work to Be Done.

Notwithstanding the fact that
this is only the first week in Feb.
ruary plowing has already begun
in the sandy portion of our county.
It is, of course, too early to start
the plows in The clay lands, but
there are scores of other things that
can be done. There are terraces
to be rebuilt, bitches to be opened,
fence corners to be cleaned out,
stumps to be removed from the
field preparing tho. way for the
mower and binder, rocks to be
piled, straw to be hauled into the
lot aud stables, briar patches to be
cut down that have encroached up
on the field from year to year.
These and many other little
things must be done before prspa-
ration for planting begins. The
planting season TO the farmer is
one of the busiest of the year and
what can be done now to relieve
the stress and tension incident to
preparation and planting the crop
on time should be done. Put not
off till tomorrow what can and
should be done today, for tomor-
row will have duties of it's own.
