500 Reward, S1OO.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrah. Halls Catarrah Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrah be-
ing constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catar-
rah Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surface of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitutional and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one
Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

PROPOSED ROAD LAW.

A bill has been introduced in the
assembly which proposes to make
some radical and sorely needed
changes in the road law. The bill
proposes to go back to the old sys-
TEN of road overseers, and small
road districts, such overseers to be
elected every two years The super
visors will have the supervision of
the roads and the allowance of the
bills for road work, but the handling
of the funds and the employment of
labor upon the roads is to be taken
out of their hands. We regard this
measure as by all odds the most
important and desirable step in the
direction cf reform that has been
introduced by the present legisla-
ture. The existing method of road
maintenance has proved the most
costly that has ever been tried in
the state. How, in the face of its in
herent weakness and proven ineffici-
ency, it has been allowed to cumber
the statute books for so many years
is mystery. There is not single
redeeming feature about it. With
the same amount of money expended
under the system of small districts,
ap6 n road ouorcoor for oooI J;e+,,;o+
the results would have been far more
satisfactory. The supervisors have
no doubt done the best they could
with poor law. We have no COM
plant to make against them. For
mileage not to exceed $500 per year,
they could not be expected to per-
sonally supervise every dollars
worth of road work performed with
in their jurisdiction. And without
personal supervision by competent
men it is impossible to secure judici-
Gus and efficient work. Road over
seers can be elected by the residents
of the district, selected only from
the qualified electors of the respect
i've districts. They will be paid a
per diem, and they are expected to
work on the roads themselves as
well as hire other labor when re-
quired. The fact that poor results
followed the road overseer system in
years gone by in Amador county is
no argument against the method.
The roads were simply starved for
lack of funds. Fancy a road tax of
five cents on the 800, as the total
revenue from property tax to keep
up all our county roads. This would
give about $4,000. Suppose the road
poll tax would give an equal amount.
This would make $4,000 per year as
the sum total available for road
purposes. Is it surprising that the
results were imperceptible. They
had no money to spend, and without
money no man, however qualified he
may be in road construction, can
make showing. Now we are rails
ing so cents on the 800 for road
purposes, or ten times the amount
expended under the former system,
and who will contend that the coun-
ty is getting adequate results from
such a heavy tax. We hope the
proposed road law will pass. 1t will
atone for many shortcomings in the
present legislature if this measure
replaces the admittedly miserable
system now in vogue. If our repre-
sentatives will do their utmost for
the passage of this law they will
earn the gratitude of the people
generally.
