A VOICE FROM THE TAXPAYERS.

Editor Ledger: - Will you kindly
give small. space in your paper to ex-
press what 1 believe to be the senti-
ments of large majority of the tax
payers of Amador county. Maybe it
takes but little space to tell what the
ordinary taxpayer knows. In fact, he
is not supposed to know anything about
county affairs, except to pay his taxes
when they become due. This is the
limit of his utility from an official field
of view. All the same, he is doing
some thinking, and the trend of his
thoughts is anything but compliment
ary to those who are responsible for the
present state of affairs | am aware.
Mr.. Editor, that it is getting to be
little risky to think aloud; liable to
call for an Involuntary visit to the po-
litical house of correction. so to speak
Conscious of this danger and vet
giving you full liberty to mention my
name to any inquiring friends as your
Judgment may dictate, rise to remark
that unless there is a more economical
management of affairs by our county
fathers and other officials, there will be
ere long "Only few of us left" out
side of our county officers, who will be
able to supply pap in the shape of
property taxes to meet the ever grow
ing demands of Amador county. Some
thing has to be 'done or this county
will be bankrupt.
L was looking over the expenses in
Cured and the bills allowed last month.
1t made me feel like selling what little
property own in this county, and en-
igrating to some part where county
officials pay more attention to the in
terests of the taxpayers, and have some
regard for the peoples money
1t seems to me that the offices of
county physician and health officer
ought to include all medical services
for the county, such as the examina-
tion of insane persons.
Another thing, taxpayers don't like
to be called on to pay the travelling ex-
penses of officials who draw big salary
from the county every month, and can
well afford to pay their own expenses.
Another complaint that is in every
body's mouth is that the supervisors
ought to produce sworn vouchers COW
ering every dollar they pay out for road
work. People want to know from the
published records the name of every
man that works on the roads, the num-
ber of days and wages per day. Let
every man receipt for his own pay, the
same as the employe of any other cor
poration.
In conclusion let me say that all we
want is for our supervisors and other
officers to manage county affairs on
the same strict principles of business as
are applied to any we'll governed public
or private institution.
Jackson, July 15 1903.
TAXPAYER.
while we may not iudorse all the
views above expressed, we are pleased
to have public matters discussed in
these columns from the taxpayers
standpoint. We invite other taxpayers
to ventillate their ideas on county
management. The people are thinking,
and that is always the first step toward
the correction of wronps.-ED1

Hole Had Missed Fire.

As the result of a missed hole, Jose Gracias. a miner in the employ of Charles Hull on the latter's claims near Don Luis, lies in the Calumet hospital His face and chest are seriously wounded and one of his ing- CTS has been amupated by the Calu- met physicians, Drs. Edmundson and Johnson. It seems that Gracias drilled into an old charge which had failed to explode when he shot his last round. That he was not killed outright is a miracle for at the time of the ex- plosion he was working directly over the hole. His breast and neck are full of fine gravel and rocks and he is minus a finger. but otherwise he will be able to do it over again in a short time. .--' t..- t-,

Hansen Fined Thirty.

Ernest Hansen got of on an awful jag yesterday afternoon. He filled I'D on Creme de Jeff and proceeded to wipe all corners of the crust of the Armament. He met several who were easy prey for him because they pre- fired 10 make a quick getaway 70 mauline the head off the loony Swede. Right away he discovered that he was '.it' good and strong. There was nothing to 1t. All he had 10 do was to we'll and someone ran. That was what he liked. He finally encounter ed a bunch that contained specle of the genus cop. It took the con certed efforts of the cop and half dozen bystanders to get Ernest into the calaboose, but he was finally lana cd there. No sooner had he discov- cred that he had new fruit to pluck there than he took upon himself the task of cleaning out the city jail. Ernie is similar to John L. Sullivan; he likes to meet his opponents in small ring. The jail met his idea or what made a good ring. and he went at if. He was stopped and brought before Justice Mcdonald. The court heard wh~- everybody and anybody had to s7- a5out what he knew of the recent history of Hansen and after due deliberation named sSO as a fair amount for Hansen to pay for the fun he had had. This is the second case of a swede tangling up with annihila- tion booze within the last ten days.

Took County Read.

Information comes to the Review that about eighteen miles distant from Bisbee, al a place known as Herron's ranch, a party has taken up a tract Of land. and that through this tract the county has maintained Q road. which has been used for the past twenty years. NIT. White. the homesteader. has closed up this road it is stated and where it crosses the river is the only and best place for a crossing. Parties with teams have been disbarred from the use of the crossing and danger has been addei to those driving to the Huachucas. Intimations have been made that suits will result to the county should the blocking of the highway continue. The attention of the board of super visors is called to this matter, in the hope that it will be remedied.

When he awoke. he felt strange something which he thought to be a bug, crawling over his foot. Throw ing the covers of.

c. K. Smith Released.

Justice Mcdonald yesterday dis missed the case against c H. Smith, the man who was charged with ne glecting his stepchildren. and against whom it was said that he had beaten his wife and turned the chiliren out in the rain. The case was heard Fri day evening before Justice McDcna,d and after thinking the matter over carefully, the court decided to let Smith go. It was a hard matter for the court to elicit any truthful state ments from Mrs. Smith during the taking of testimony, she contradicting herself on many points in her testi- mony. IL was a severe repriman that the court handed out to the liege lord of the Smith household when he dismissed the case yesterday.

Cora Miles Dismissed.


 The felony charge against Miss Cora Miles was dismissed by Justice RTown yesterday after having had the case under advisement twenty four hours. The decision of the court was that the evidence submitted was not sufficient to hold the defendant for the grand jury. It was shown in the testimony that Phyllis Sherwood the complainant who fought with the defendant, was as much at fault as was Miss Miles. This is the ter imitation of what has been an inter esting case in the courts for the past week, and is the result of a fight which too place in the tenderloin in which Miss Sherwood attacked Miss Miles with beer bottle while the lat ter defended herself with an ice pick. Miss Sherwood is now in jail on a more serious charge. that of having stolen money from a patron of the Miles house.
