A National Organization.

"A national employers association
has just been organized in Chicago. Its
aim is to form branches in every state
in the union. for the purpose of pro-
tecting the business interests of the
country against the undue incroach-
ments of labor organization upon the
rights of the employers. 1t is not de-
signed to fight labor unions as such.
Labor unions are all right when proper
ly managed, and confined to their
legitimate sphere. The country has
had too many examples of their being
unwisely led, with the result of throt-
tling enterprise, and creating distrust
and uncertainty in business circles, to
the detriment of all concerned. One
sided organization by the employees
tends to weaken that feeling of mutuali-
ty of interest which is essential to the
prosperity of both employer and en-
ploye. They must both work hand in
hand to secure the best results. But
too often the labor unions foster the
idea that to fight the employers is the
path of safety and prosperity for their
members. With the might of num-
bers they manage to secure concessions,
which tend 20 spur them on to make
further demands. The employer is
placed at disad vantage. 1t is one
man against many. To Offset this dis
parity the employers propose to or
ganize after the pattern of the trades
unions. 1t is not dictated by a spirit
Of hostility to the workingmen. On
the contrary, it is believed that har-
mony can best be secured by the en-
ployers placing themselves in a position
to be able to resist any encroachment
upon their rights. 1t is peace not war,
that this counter organization seeks to
bring about. The agitators who would
preach crusade against capital are
the worst enemies of the laboring class

Filling Up the Creek Bed.

A remarkable instance of the rapidity
with which the bed of streams may be
filed up by detritus carried from high
land is afforded by the condition of
jackson creek at a point in jackson
valley near the school house, where the
stream is bridged by what is known as
Jackson valley bridge. This is about
four miles below Buena Vista. 1t is
we'll in the valley, where the force of
the flood waters is arrested by the re-
duced fall. This bridge was built in
1892. At that time the distance from
the bridge to the creek bed was over
seven feet. This was deemed ample
room to accommodate any freshet.
Supervisor Amick has just had the
bridge raised two feet. The debris
washed from the mountains had so
filled up the channel as to leave only
two feet from the creek bed to the
bridge. Besides this, for several sea-
sons past workmen have had to be en-
ployed in clearing out the debris to
prevent the almost total choking of the
water way. 1t is estimated that during
the past II years the bed OF the creek,
taking the cleaning out process into
consideration, has been raised fully
seven feet-an average of nearly s
inches each year. The bridge is now
elevated considerably above the level
of the adjacent land, and allows about
four feet for flood waters. 1t will take
a long time to fill up this space, because
in flood time the water will spread con-
siderably over the banks, thereby fill
ing up the banks at about the same
ratio as the bed of the creek is filled
up. This rapid filling up of the channel
is not entirely due to the natural wash
from above. The tailings from the
mines accelerate the process, and also
the perniciors custom Of persons living
along the banks of the streams dump
ing all sorts of rubbish into the chan
mel, to be carried down in flood time,
and deposited in the stream as the
velocity of the current is checked by
the decreased fall.

THE PERlLs OF MINING.
A Miner, William Mitchell, Loses His
Life in the South Eureka in Peculiar
Manner.

The perils incident to the life of the
miner were signally Illustrated last Sun
day at the South Eureka by peculiar
accident, causing the death OF a trusted
employe named William Mitchell. On
the morning in question the unfortun-
ate victim was employed in repairing
the track at the 100 and 1900 levels.
The work was not new to him. But
by simple oversight, due no doubt to
thoughtlessness, his life was sacrificed.
A piece of spiling was left on the plat
form. This spiling, the testimony went
to show, had been placed there by him
self. The end of it projected about an
inch or so over the platform into the
shaft. He was standing on this spill
ing, unconscious of danger, and prob
ably did not know that the end of the
stick protruded into the opening. The
north skip came down, and struck the
projecting end of the spiling, and
threw Mitchell into the shaft. He fell
100 feet. James Henry Bastian, who
was working within few feet of the
victim at the time, heard no noise of
any kind when the accident occurred,
and only knew what had happened by
missing his companion. Samuel J..
Hooking and other employees went down
the shaft, and found Mitchell still
breathing. He never spoke, and lived
only few seconds after they reached
him.
An inquest was held near the mine
by Coroner Huberty on Sunday after
noon, before the following jurors: John
L. Cox, John Ward, Joe Martin, John
Rule, Chester Bernardis, John Moli-
mari, John Corndrig and j. L. Wanda
ment. A verdict was returned of acci-
dental death.
Deceased was single man, and has
no relatives in the county He had
been employed at the South Eureka
about two months, and was universally
liked by his fellow workers.

Halloween Franks.

During Saturday night a crowd OF
boys, from ten to twenty in number,
celebrated Halloween by playing all
sorts of queer pranks around town.
Signs were changed all over town.
Some of the jokes were good as prac-
tical Jokes go. One of the best was the
removal of the sign, 'Miners' Union
Hall, " from the miners hall on Court
street, and placing the same over the
Ledger Office sign in the front of the
Webb Hail building. In this conspicu.
Gus place it was noticed by everybody
passing along the street, and caused
considerable merriment, and no par
ticular harm. Many other mix-ups OF
signs were INDUCED in, also the re-
moval of gates and other articles that
were removable added to confusion.
The sign of Henry We'll announcing
clearance sale of thirty days" was
changed to thirty "years," and in such
antics the boys overstepped themselves.
Their fun degenerated into destructive
ness. The prankers were out until
three o'clock Sunday morning. In
some other cities the authorities gave
notice that practical jokes of the kind
mentioned would not be tolerated, but
would subject the jokers to arrest.
Some of the youngsters up all night at
this mischief in Jackson were not more
than IA or Is years of age.

Application for Pardon.

In another column appears the notice
of Neil A. Macquarrie of intention to
apply to the prison directors for parole.
Macquarrie was convicted of forgery
committed in this county about two
years ago. He has been in San Quentin
prison for Is months. His health is
broken, and it is not likely that he will
ever be well man again. There are
many in Jackson who believe he has
sufficiently suffered for his crime, and
his application for pardon ought to
command the support of the community
generally. He forged a check on a
Stockton bank for $50, and passed the
same on the Red Front store, receiving
goods and change in return.

Grand Gift Carnival will be the open
ing attraction at Loves hall. The
performance is announced to consist of
two hours of the most amusing won
ders, almost bordering on the miracul-
GUS. 1t is not a sleight-of-hand exhibi-
tion, and yet an entertainment that

vile, Chico and Red Bluff. and judg-
ing from exchanges, they are all there

Orient. She creates an abundance of
fun and laughter, born of bewilder-
ment and marvel.
The program also announces Max
Berol, the celebrated wizard, and the
'Inimitable Felix" also surnamed the
Living Encyclopedia" whose inter-
esting, intellectual, and mental won
ders are astounding. One of the sur
prises on the opening night will be a
comedy pantomine entitled, "The Ar
tist and the Ragpicker.'
Seats now at Spagnoli's.

Death of Frank Frates.

Frank Frates, the well-known citi-
zen of lone, who has been in charge of
the cattle and coal interests for the lone
Coal and Iron Company for many years,
died early Saturday morning, after a
sickness of a few days. He was seized
with a violent pain in the chest while
attending Masonic lodge meeting in
lone on Wednesday night. The attack
was so serious that the medical attend
ant remained with him all night. 1t
was feared that it would end fatally at
that time. The following day he was
considerably better, and on Friday the
Improvement continued to such a de-
gree that it was believed the crisis had
passed. About midnight. however,
the alarming symptoms returned, and
death ensued at four O'Clock Saturday
morning. The funeral took place in
lone Sunday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Masonic fraternity, of
which he was a member in high stand
ing. He was also a member of the
A. o. U. W., of the Companions of the
Forest, and Mystic Shriners. Fully
800 brethren of the different orders at
tended the funeral. His wife died sew
eral months ago in San Francisco, and
was buried in that city. 1t was his
wish that the remains of his wife be
disinterred, and that the bodies rest
side by side in the lone cemetery. His
wish in this respect will no doubt be
complied with.

Agricultural Station to be Abandoned.

The foothills agricultural experiment
station situated about six miles north
east of Jackson, is about to be aband-
oned. This station has been in exist
ence for fourteen years. 1t has been
maintained by the joint support of the
United States and the state govern
ments, each contributing one half the
expense. For the last few years the
state has Withdrawn its support, and it
is question of finances more than any,
thing else that has led to it's abandon
ment. j. H. Barber, who has been in
charge of the station for over two
years, informs us that it will be sur
rendered to the trustees, for the benefit
OF Jackson, on the first of next month.
The station originally consisted of
twenty acres, which was presented to
the government. together with dwell
ing for the superintendent, by the peo-
pie of Jackson and vicinity, on the
understanding that if for any reason it
should be abandoned the title would
revert to the donors. The grounds
comprising the station, now including
one or two tracts purchased since its
establishment, have been brought to
high degree of cultivation. 1t has GER
tainly proved what this foothill land is
capable of producing when carefully
cultivated. 1t has been a pleasure re-
sort and an ornament to this section,
and everyone will regret its abandon
ment. 1t was not started as per-
manent institution. The experimental
purposes having been served, it is al
lowed to lapse, the horticultural inter-
ests in this section not being sufficiently
important to justify it's continuance.
This is not because our foothills are
not suited to fruits, but because the
lack of rapid and cheap transportation
in the shape of railroad facilities is
bar to enterprise in this direction.

in Amador City some months ago, was
discharged on motion of the prosecut-

action is that the principal witness
henderson, the victim of the assault,
has left the state, and his whereabouts
is unknown. 1t is believed he is on the
Atlantic coast. Under these circum-
stances it was deemed useless to press
the case to trial.

Rainfall.

A rainstorm set in Wednesday morn
ing about Z o'clock, and continued
steadily until o'clock. 1t was quite a
heavy fall, measuring LA inches in
Jackson, making 1.57 for the season,
against 2.11 inches for the same period
last year. A much larger quantity of
water fell higher up the mountains.
At Whitmore's mill the storm con-
tinued until o'clock in the afternoon.
The rainfall removes all danger of a
shortage of water for mining and
electrical power this season. For agri-
cultural purposes more rain is needed,
as the ground is hardly in condition
to admit of plowing.
