HIGH SCHOOL CLUB
GIVES THE MIKADO
Musical Students Give a Clever Per-
Torrance of Opera.

Gilbert & Sullivan's opera, The
Mikado," was most successfully pre-
sented last night by the Central High
School Glee club, under the direction
of Miss Olive Long. The opera was
given on the stage of the high school
assembly hall and was witnessed by an
audience that filed the hall to over
owing. A year ago the club made it's
first appearance in musical comedy
with somewhat Indifferent results, but
in it's presentation of "The Mikado"
last night it scored an unqualified
success.
The two acts were well staged and
the costumes were artistic and effect
i've. Scenery specially painted for the
opera made an attractive background
for the pretty kimOnaS worn by pretty
high school girls, the fiuttering fans
and parasols and the swaying Jap"
lanterns. A large chorus presented a
most attractive appearance and sang
in excellent time and tune. This
chorus had only the music Of the pia-
no to support it, but the accompani
ment was so well played by Miss Vera
Putt that it seemed entirely ade-
quate.
George Woods. who sang the role of
''Ko-Ko," the lord high executioner,
was most satisfactory in the part. He
invested the role with distinct and
most ludicrous personality, that found
instant favor with the audience. Mar
tin Richardson. who was "Nanh Poo"
possesses a very sweet voice which he
nsed most effectively. Adolph Rank,
as "Pooh Ball." and James Boxell in the
lesser role of the mikado, were both
satisfactory. The three little girls
from school, Martha Noble as Yum
YUM" Evelyn Dockstader as 'P1ttl-
Sing and Louise Fowble- as Peep
Boo made most attractive Japanese
maidens and sang their roles accept
abIv- Gertrude Ford, as "Katisha,"
looked very gorgeous in her crimson
kimona. and aided Mr.. Richardson and
Mr.. Rank in furnishing the comic ele-
ment in the opera.

FATHER CONWAY TALKS
ON THE CONFESSIONAL
institution of Catholic Church Is De-
Tended by PauIist.

The interest felt in the Paulist Faith
er's mission at st. Luke's church re-
suited last night in an audience of 700
persons, fully One-half of the num-
Der estimated to be non Catholics.
The fifth in the series of lectures
delivered by Paulist priests was last
night given by Father Conway. The
subject was Confession
rather Conway answered the chief
objection against confession brought
forward by nom Catholics.
i. Why not go to God directly d?
Because it is not the way established
by Christ. Why does not a soldier re-
port to his general? Because the
army regulations demand that he re-
port TO his immediate officer.
2. Do Catholics have to pay for
confession? No, this is a calumny of
the enemies Of the church. Catholics
call it the sin of Simon Magus to sell
spiritual things for money.
3. Does 1t not give the priest too
much power? No; the power is
Christ's given to him as a successor
of the apostles. He says with st. Paul:
If have pardoned anything, for your
sakes have l done it in the person of
Christ CT. Cor, j., 10)
a. How can a sin be pardoned by
merely telling it. 1t cannot be. For
g1veness is only given to those who
repent for the past with a supernat-
ural sorrow, promising never to offend
again, to make good the evil done, and
to avoid in future all danger of sin
ming.
IS. Did not the priests invent con-
fession? No; the Catholic church
asks confidently for any outsider to put
his finger On the date of it's human
origin. There is no record of it in
history. We go back to the day of
Christ's resurrection from the dead
So great an Institution could not have
been foisted quietly upon the. Christian
people by human authority. 1t is like
ly that if priests had the intelligence
to found such an institution that they
would have subjected themselves also
to it's law. For the pope must go to
confession with the humblest Catho-
lie.
So. Does not the confession of sin
make sin easy? On the contrary, it
makes sin more difficult 1t is quite
easy to kneel down in ones room and
confess to God; but to confess to a
fellow mortal who will insist on a
strong purpose of amendment, and by
whom promise is strictly exacted to
avoid the dangers of sin requires
strong determination.

GRAIN MARGINS AFFECT
RIGHTS OF PROPERTY
Illinois Appellate Court Decides
Against Chicago Dealers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-The appellate
court today sustained the injunction
issued by Judge Chytraus against eight
board of trade members charged with
onerating a corner" and sustaining
the contention against the "cornering"
of the market.
The court holds that under the laws
of the state dealers cannot be forced
to settle trades upon the basis OF an
artificial value created by the corner
ing of the market and that margins
deposited in banks or elsewhere are

latter has repeatedly been held to be
sovereign, and questions of property
rights, and holds that disputes between
members involving finances can, II de-
sired by either party, be submitted TO

THE SALARY BILL.

In last weeks Ledger and Dis
patch Assemblyman McKenney pub
lished an article written for the pur-
pose of justifying the introduction
and passage of the bill providing
salaries for justices and constables
in Amador county in criminal bust
ness. The article in question does
not change the status of the matter
in the least. 1t falls immeasurablv
short of vindicating the system
sought to be introduced in this coun-
tY. We do not question the sinceri-
ty of Mr.. McKenney in formulating
and pressing the bill He says he
was prompted in this course by the
purest motives, and with a due re-
gard for the best interests of his
constituents. We are not debating
that proposition. We have thought,
we still think, that the receipt of
petition from one township of the
county, signed by couple of hun
dred of the prominent citizens and
taxpayers thereof, and reinforced
by the receipt of a score of private
letters, all of the same tenor. will
fall short of commanding a verdict
of approval from the taxpayers and
citizens of Amador county generally
in regard to this bill. Two weeks
ago we pointed out the changes this
bill will make in our county's
finances. In that estimate we made
due allowance for deduction of the
fees now paid justices and con-
stables. We reckoned that if it be-
comes law the bill will add about
$4,000 more to the running expenses
of the county. In answer to this we
are told that five counties having a
smaller population than Amador-

Amador ledger., 1903-03-20

These figures are taken from the
official statement issued by the state
controller for the year 1902. They
are therefore correct. The truth is,
Amador county is among the small
est divisions of the state not only
territorially, but financially speak
ing. There are only II out of the
fifty-seven counties in the state with
a smaller assessment roll than ANA
dor. Circumstances alter cases.
Amador is not in the same class
with the other counties named !;
therefore comparisons are out of
place. 1t would be just as reason
able to contend that an individual
getting salary of $50 per month
ought to live on the same plane of ex-
pense as man getting three times
that salary. An increase of $4,000 per
year in running expenses would mean
81 cents added to the tax rate in
Merced; in Amador it means over
10 cents. Seeing that Amador oc-
cupies position as one of the most
heavily tax-ridden counties of Cali
fornia-16 counties only having a
higher rate-the policy it seems to
us should be to frame laws that
would have a tendency to reduce
this high rate, rather than augment
it. Perhaps the increased efficiency
of these subordinate peace officers
will counterbalance the drawback OF
extra cost. Time will tell; with ali
the chances in favor of this benefit
proving mythical.
Amador ledger., 1903-03-20
TRACTION ENGINES.

A petition is before the super
visors for permission to place trac-
tion engines for the hauling of
freight over the lone road. D. Nc
Call, who is heavily interested in
the freighting business between lone
and the mineral belt, is the petition
er. There is nothing in the law to
forbid the use OF these machines
over the public highway; nothing in
fact to require a permit from the
supervisors for their introduction
here. Out of the abundance of
caution, however, Mr.. Mccall, before
starting in this enterprise, seeks
the approval of the managing body
of the county. Citizens generally
will hail this movement as one that
promises much for the future. The
Ledger more than year ago advo-
Gated the traction engine for the
movement of freight. Since then
the Gwin Company has tried this
method on the road between Valley
Springs and its mine, and is salts
fed with the result. For the winter
months these machines are i'm
practicable over the muddy roads,
but for the greater part of the year
they can be used successfully, max
ing great saving of cost over the
old plan of horse teams. A railroad
between lone and Jackson is what is
needed. Why this enterprise has
been so long neglected is a surprise
to every stranger visiting this Sec
tion, who is conversant with the
eagerness with which transportation
facilities are entered upon in the de-
velopment of other regions. All of
them remark that Jackson is the
largest center of population and
industry they have seen where a
railroad is lacking, and where the
lack could be supplied at so little
comparative cost. There are no
serious engineering difficulties in
the way. 1t is argued that it would
have paid the mining companies, the
Standard Electric Company and the
merchants, to have contributed if
need be, one half the cost of con-
structing railroad. If this had
been done eight or ten years ago,
they would no doubt have been re-
paid for the expenditure by the re-
duced freight rate ere this. But
the fact remains. we haven't a rail-
road. The twelve miles is still un-
bridged by the iron rails the same
as it was twenty-five years ago. For
quarter of century Amador
county, one of the most productive
in wealth, considering its area, to
be found in the state, has not moved
one step in improved transportation
facilities, Notwithstanding there has
been an enormous increase in the
freight traffic. We believe the most
profitable enterprise in Amador
county today would be the building
of railroad to tap the mineral belt.
The traction engine is a halfway
measure. No doubt it will at once
establish its vast superiority over
the hauling system heretofore in
vogue. While welcoming its advent
as the harbinger of better things to
come, it is hoped the people will not
rest content with it, but agita te,
organize, and subscribe literally for
securing rapid transportation for
both passengers and freight to and
from the mother lode.
Amador ledger., 1903-03-20

namely, Kings, Stanislaus, Merced,
Colusa and Glenn-the justices and
constables are paid salaries twice as
large as those proposed for Amador
Hence it is argued that if those
sparsely settled counties can stand
the salary system, surely Amador
can stand-up under a modified dose
of the same medicine. The reason
ing is fatally defective. 1t loses
sight of the all-important point of
disparity in financial conditions. To
make this plain. we herewith present
table showing the taxable wealth
and the tax rate in these counties as

At the Rawhide mine, O

At the Rawhide mine, owned by
w. A. Nevills, in Tuolumne county,
the chlorination process of treating
sulphurets is to be abandoned in
favor of the cyanide process. 1t is
claimed that by chlorination the cost
is from 81 to SO per ton, while ex-
periments have demonstrated that
with finer crushing a high percent
age of value can be saved at cost
of $2 per ton. This is a point de-
serving of serious attention to mine
owners along this part of the mother
lode. So far in this county the
cyanide process, although tested at
various points, has not given salts
faction. 1t is not in use anywhere
in the county. Perhaps the much
finer crushing resorted to at the
Rawhide explains the secret of sue
cess there, and failure here. II
sulphurets can be treated at cost
of between 81 and SO per ton, il
would be an immense improvement
over methods heretofore in vogue in
this section.
