New River Channel
At Topeka

Topeka, kas., Juna S--Ploughing
its way through the northerR suburbs
of North Topeka is what threatens to
become a permanent channel OF the
Kansas river. The investigations of
the engineers who are replacing the
track from the north show that this
channel has already worn 10 a depth
Of twenty-five or thirty feet between
the Davis elevator and Shorey. This
current is now a quarter of a mile
wide.
Flowing steadily and deeply ON Gar
field street past the Small and James
Stewart places and ON east through
the low ground south of Garfield park
is the north current Boatmen who
have observed closely during the past
two days say this current continues
to the main river channel through a
course south OF the bed of Soldier
creek. They deny that it follows Sol
dier creek. The point of junction Of
Soldier creek and the present flood
is close to the corner of North Har--
rison and Garfield streets. Soldier
creek is itself oblfterated from that
point TO the rise OF land known as Hol-
mans addition. East Of that the rise
OF Ian din Garfield park is now an rs
land The water which cannot find it's
way out in this channel is still sweep
ing down across North Topeka, max
ing nearly every street IN the north
ern part Of town & mill race.
AS yet no estimate can be made of
the depth OF permanency of this new
channel, which has in reality formed
in an old bed Of the river It may
finally present in itself a problem to
be overcome only by skilled engineer
ing and expense.

Delaware Indians
EniOin CherOkees


Washington, D. c.. June S.--A case
Of much interest to the Indian terri-
tory was heard in the supreme court
o. his district and a preliminary in

ca ion of George Bullette and others,
comprising committee Of the Della

Ior argument June 10.
The suit is based upon ccntract
made in 1867 between the delawar-s
and cherokees, and approved by the
president Of the United States. by
which the Delawares purchased from
the Cherokees $4,000 acres Of land
in the Cherokee ration for 81 per
acre cash.
Differences have arisen betreen the
two tribes as to the rights OF the Del
awares to the land in question. Com
gress by an act provided tor the allot-
ment of the lands of the Cherokees,
providing that before the allotments
were made the $4,000 acres should
be segregated and remain separate un-
til the final determination Of the suit.
which is now before the supreme court
of the United States. The lands were
so segregated and all parties inter-
ested were notified.
II is said that for some reason the
Dawes commission, after having made
this segregation. began TO allow GER
tain Cherokee Indians to make filings
upon the Delaware lands, and have
declined TO allow the Delawares to
make such filings, although they have
been in occupancy OF the Same for
many years and have made a number
of improvements thereon.
At the time of the purchase of
these lands, It is said, the Cherokees
we're not particularly ,n'erested in
farming. whereas the Delawares were
good farmers and the lands selected
by the latter proved to be the most
valuable in the territory. It seems
also that these lands are superior not
only for agriculture. but that they con-

who are in possession Of these valu-
able lands. and are seeking to secure
the segregated portions. Many of the
filings permitted by the Dawes com
mission are upon the choicest parts
of these lands. and whenever the
Cherokee makes his filings he asserts
superior right anu at once orders
the Delaware off the land and to cease
performing any act Of ownership; and
It is to prevent this that the suit in
question is brought.
The Delawares claim that II was the
intention Of congress that these lands
should remain absolutely as they are,

until the final determination Of the
suit pending before the supreme court.

Church Moving.

The work OF moving the old M. E.
church from the site it has occupied
for 40 years, was started Wednesday
morning. The moving contract re-
quired move of 10 feet south and 80
feet east. John Fisher, an expert in
the house moving business, came up
from Stockton Sunday, provided with
all the implements needed for such
work. They expected to start Mon
day, but the storm delayed them until
Wednesday. He brought up two as
sistants, and with A. 81. Kuhlman, the
contractor, this comprised the work.
ing crew. By Thursday night the for
ward movement had been accomplished
without a hitch, and everything placed
in readiness for the side movement
The lumber in the old building was
found to be in good state of preserva-
tiOn. The sills showed some decay,
but nothing like what was anticipated.
1t is expected that the building will be
in its new position by tonight. The
inside plastering and fittings have not
suffered particle from the strain.
Indeed the pastor was in one of the
rooms inside when the forward move
ment occurred, and did not know at
the time that the edifice was in motion.
1t moved 10 feet without his know
ledge. Services will be held in the old
church as usual next Sunday. No ar
rangements have been made about a
new church at present. The present
building can be used for years if nee
essary, or until they collect sufficient
funds to justify them in making start
on more imposing and substantial
building.

Work for Everybody.

Lawrence Arata, foreman for the
Standard Electric Company, was in
town during the forepart of the week
hiring men to work on the company IS
ditch above Tabeaud reservoir. Slides
have occurred all along the line, and
while nothing serious has happened it
will take several days to clear the
debris. The reservoir has good sup
ply of water on hand, and is expected
to be sufficient to run the power house
until the ditch can be used again, as
the water is now shut off ou account of
the slides. M. Newman has the con-
tract to take the men to the various
camps on the ditch. E. Ginocchio &
Bro. are furnishing each man going to
work with oil clothing and rubber
boots at the expense of the company
This extra demand for wet goods
has caused Ginocchio's to draw on
every store in town to supply the
demand. Between 80 and 40 men have
been sent from Jackson to repair the
damage.

Communication Cut Off.

From Sunday night to Thursday
Amador county was cut off from
communication with the outside world.
No mail from San Francisco or the east
has been received in here; nothing ex-
cept local mail between the towns with
in our borders. Not since the great
railroad strike has such a complete
shut off occurred. Trains were un-
able to pass through Stockton owing
to the floods in the valley. Also the
track between Sacramento aud Gait
was washed away in places, STOP
ping traffic on that line. This added
to the serious break on the Amador
branch line below Carbondale has COM
pleted our isolation. The efforts of the
railroad company have been directed
principally to restore communication
on the main lines. Stockton was food
ed, and immense damage must have re-
suited there. Thursday night the pas
senger. train, with all mail matter
passed over the AmadOr line, and the
accumulated mail of four days reached
Jackson last night.

Native Daughters Satisfied.

The committee in charge of the
entertainment given by Ursula Parlor
No. 1, N. D. G. w., last Saturday even
ing, are we'll pleased with their share
of the profits, which was twenty-five
per cent of the gross receipts, less $40
for hall rent. This ratio left the par
lor 1920 as their share, which they
consider an equal division, as the ex-
penses were all paid by Mr.. Graham,
and were estimated to be fifty per cent
of the receipts. The receipts of the
dance were about 1926, and was the
bands share of the profits. Miss Della
German, the president of Ursula Par
lor No. 1, N. D. G. W., was the for
tunate member who won the gold ring
offered by Mr.. Graham as a prize for
selling the largest number of tickets to
the parlor's amateur play. Miss Cor
man disposed of twenty mine tickets,
and thinks she was well paid for her
trouble, as the ring is little beauty.

Rib Fractured.

Last Monday afternoon Henry Chap
man of Clinton met with painful acci-
dent which might have resulted more
seriously. Chapman had been in Jack
son making some purchases, having
left his horse and cart at his brothers 5
feed yard. About four o'clock he was
preparing to return home, and while
placing some packages in the cart from
the rear, the horse, which was united,
started suddenly to run. In order to
stop the horse, Chapman was obliged
to run to the side of the cart and in
front of one of the wheels in an at
tempt to gather up the lines He
managed to gain this position just as
the cart was passing through the gate
that opens into the street, and was un-
fortunate by getting caught between
the cart wheel and the gate post. and
was thrown with force enough to frac-
ture one of his ribs. By presence of
mind he managed to stop the horse.
The cart shafts were broken, and were
sent to the shop for repairs. DIR.
EndicOtt was called and attended to
his injuries.

Eighty-tifth Birthday.

Monday, March 30, was the S5th
birthday of Grandma" Gordon
mother of county superintendent of
schools Geo. A. Gordon. 1t has been
customary of late years for the family
OF Mrs. Gordon to give reception on
each succeeding birthday of Grandma's,
but the practice was omitted this year,
owing to the heavy storm. Notwith
standing the inclemency of the weather,
several of her friends called to con-
gratulate her on having successfully
passed another milestone in lifeis
journey. Mrs. Gordon's friends will
remember that several years ago she
met with an accident that caused her
to use crutches while walking. The
crutches are now thing of the past,
and she has laid them aside with ali
other cares, and is the picture of good
health. 1t is hoped she will be favored
by many, many birthdays yet to come.

Paper Shipments from the East.

The Ledger has just received direct
from eastern manufacturers a large
supply of paper stock for job printing.
The invoice includes letter-heads, bill
heads, envelopes, cardboard, typewriter
paper, etc. We are prepared to do all
kinds of printing at rates that cannot
be discounted in San Francisco or else
where, and fully up to the mark in
artistic merit. We can print your bill
heads or envelopes for less than you can
buy the blank stock for at retail prices,
and still make fair profit. Give us a
trial and be convinced. By buying in
quantity from first hands for cash, we
give our customers the benefit of bed
rock rates. Considerable job printing
is sent out of the county, and the poor
est kind of material and workmanship
is shipped from the outside in return
for money that ought to be spent in
support of home industry. We want
to Danish all excuse for this. We can
accommodate you with either cheap or
high grade work, but don't expect the
best quality of material and work for
the poorest kind of price. That COM
bination is not to be had either in Am
ador or any other county.

LOCAL MINING NEWS.
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Gold Hunting on Main Street.

A. b. Summers, the surveyor of Ply.
mouth, is engaged in running the lines
around the Alma mining property ad.
joining Jackson. We have learned
that the company that has had bond
on the mine for the last few years is
now ready to make final payment,
which means beyond doubt that an
other mine will soon be adding to the
resources of Jackson.
KENNEDY.-Them machinery for the
new hoist is all in position, except the
gallOws frame and the three new
boilers. w. l.. Fortner will commence
setting the boilers next week. 1t will
take three weeks to finish this work.
The gallows frame will require longer
time--perhaps six weeks. The other
20 stamps of the new mill are about
completed, and will probably be started
some time next week.
ZEILA.-The leila sulphurets works
were all ready to start up last Monday,
but owing to the unsettled condition
the start was not made. @. C.. O'Nei
and others reported for duty, and were
told that the matter would be delayed
The main thing that has had the effect
OF delay, we are prepared to state, is
the labor situation. Another thing is
that very favorable offers have beer
made for the treatment of the sui
phurets at smelter in Washington
The question is whether the company
cannot do as well by shipping the
product away as by treating them al
home. Undoubtedly the company
under ordinary conditions would prefer
to have the work done here. 1t gives
employment to men here, helps tC
build up the town, and this considera.
tiOn would be decisive. But the agita.
tiOn of the labor question comes in,
and may lead to the shipment of the
product, and the closing of this avenue
of employment until matters assume a
more assuring aspect.
GOLD HUNTING ON MAIN STREET.
The storm this week did some effec.
tive ground sluicing on Main street
Much of the gravel cane from the
placer tailings at Scottsville-a rich
spot in early days. AT intervals of the
storm men and boys were out searching
the road bed for coarse gold, and they
were not unrewarded. Dudley Laugh
ton picked up chunk worth so cents.
A number of pieces from ten to 2C
cents were found. 1t is reported that
nugget worth over SO was picked up
in the roadway near the brewery. We
have not been able to verify the story
1t is not at all unlikely, as that part OF
the street was macadamized from the
dump piles of the Argonaut and Ken
nedy-both famous producers. 1t is
literally true that Jackson's streets are
paved with gold-bearing rock. We
have not seen so much street mining
for years as during the past week.
