NORMAL SCHOOL
BOARD MEETS
President Morey Opposes
State Board of Control
Having Jurisdiction.
lsIBa u

If the influence of Gov. Van SAINT
with the legislature counts for any
thing, the state normal schools will
be removed from the charge Of the
state board of control and placed in
the hands of boards Of the cities where
the normal schools are located.
President 9. A. Morey, at a meeting
OF the state normal board at the Wind
sor hotel yesterday, speaking for his
colleagues on the board, informed the
governor that the board was opposed
jurisdiction over the normal schools Of
the state.
Gov. Van SAINT said he was of the
same opinion, although he did not state
the case so strongly. He promised
that he would do all in his power to
meet the desires of the board and said
that he had so declared in his last
message.
On the recommendation of the presi-
dents of the normal schools, the board
decided to issue diploma instead of a

GREGORY'S BILL STIRS
UP CITY OFFICIALS
Measure to Make Certain Officers EIec-
tive Arouses Opposition.

The bill of Representative Gregory
to make the city clerk, corporation at
torney, city engineer and the mem
bers of the board of public works
elective offices, instead of appointive,
was responsible for some lively Skin
mishing yesterday on the part Of the
lncumbents affected. Conferences
were held and it is possible that COM
bined effort will be made to defeat the
measure. The other cities affected will
be asked to give their aid.
Representative Gregory's activity in
this particular matter is credited by
some to the discharge by City Engi-
neer Rundlett of his father, who was
a sprinkling inspector.

No Shortage of Water Here.

While the mining interests of Gala
veras and Tuolumne counties are seri-
ously crippled at the present time on
account of the shortage of water, it is
pleasing to state that Amador county
is suffering no Inconvenience whatever
from this cause. All our mines are
running; and the big electric plant at
Electra is also running to its full ca
serve is still ample to tide over the in
terval until the rainy season shall COM
mence. This ample water supply is due
to the forethought of the company in
making such thorough provision for
the storage of water in the mountains
by the construction of reservoirs at
enormous expense. Prior to the pres
ent company taking hold of the water
system, mining interests, in a long
summer like the present, were sadly
interfered with, and a shutdown was
imperative until the water supply was
replenished with copious rains. There
is very little to be feared on this ac-
count now. 1t was thought by some
that when such immense quantities OF
water were drawn from local interests
to furnish power for the big dynamos
at Electra, that the mining industry
would be apt to suffer from thirst.
Happily all such fears have proved
groundless. Amador county to-day is
perhaps the most favored region in the
state as regards steady and ample
flow of water for mining purposes. The
people do not sufficiently realize how
much they are indebted to the enter
prise of the Standard Electric and Blue
Lakes Water Companies in providing
vast reserves of water to keep not only
their plant moving, but at the same
time the mines and mills of the mother
lode running to their full capacity.

Fire at Kennedy.

About o'clock Saturday morning,
the Office of the Kennedy mine was dis
covered to be on fire. The fire started
around the stove pipe. The morning
being chilly, fire was started, and the
stove pipe must have been defective,
thus setting the building on fire. The
building is small frame structure of
little value, outside of the books and
valuables kept therein. There is a
strong water pressure at the mine, and
by getting stream of water upon the
flames at the critical moment, the fire
was extinguished after destroying the
roof. A new covering was put on in
the course of few hours, and every
thing was running as smoothly as
before. 1t is understood that when
the works are all completed at the east
shaft-the full milling capacity con-
centrated there-it is the intention of
the company to build new and more
commodious Office of brick.

Adjusting the Loss.

George Drendel, whose dwelling and
personal property at Clinton were swept
clean by fire on Monday of last week,
returned home Friday night He had
been away in San Francisco for week,
during which the fire occurred. The
various items of insurance were as fol-
lows: Dwelling, 5000; furniture, $500;
barn $500; harness $50; store building
$3.50; wagons $500; barrels $500; fruit
boxes $50; out-building S75; hay $3.50;
wine $3.50; oats and barley S140; total
$3945. The smoke house that escaped
the flames also escaped insurance. The
total insurance was carried by the
Williamsburg City Fire Insurance Com
pany of Brooklyn, New York, of which
l.. j. Fontenrose is the local agent.
The adjuster of the company came up
Friday night, and visited the scene of
the fire Saturday, in company with the
local agent. The company is not dis
posed to pay the full amount. The in
surer placed the matter in the
hands of D. B. Spagnoli, his attorney,
for the purpose of arriving at an agree
ment. Drendel says the property de-
stroyed was worth more than the
amount it was insured for. He has no
idea how the fire started.
