A Birthday Dinner.

A pleasant dinner party was given in
honor of Miss Edith Tompson at the
residence of her parents in Hunt S
Guleh. The table was set for 25 guests,
and was abundantly supplied with
raviolas and all the delicacies of the
season that go with it. One of the
principal features of the occasion was q
beautiful birthday cake decorated with
six colored candles, representing the
number of years of the little Miss.
Another feature was that the table was
presided over by Grandma Gordon,
aged Sc years, while on her left sat
Mrs. H. Pernollet, aged 80 years, and
on the right sat an old pioneer, Grand
pa Ray. The list of the invited guests
present were: Grandma E. Gordon,
Mrs. M. G. Coombs, Mrs. Alice T.
Greenwood, Mr.. and Mrs. P. Guerard
and family, Miss Amy Gordon, Miss
Alma ]. Dewitt, Mrs. M. Fox, Mrs. J.
Thompson, Miss E. Thompson, Master
Ray and Elliot Thompson, Milton Cor
don, Lester Greenwood, Miss Josephine
Thompson, Miss Olive H. Gordon, Mrs.
Kate Doyle, Mrs. Emily Thomas. Mrs.
Harriett Pernollet, Mr.. Dewitt ST.,
Mrs. Delilah Dewitt. After dinner
very interesting "reminiscences of the
early days of 40 in crossing the plains
and encounters with the Indians, and
lots of interesting stories of the days of
49 and 50 were listened to with interest
by all present. During this time the
little folks were enjoying themselves to
the full extent. Little Miss Edith was
we'll remembered by all present. A
good old-time candy pull ended the
ceremonies, and everybody departed
for home after having spent very en-
joyable day long to be remembered by
those present.

Failed to Record Certificate.

A. We'll of Amador was in Jackson
Tuesday to see about his title. The
list of property decided to the state as
published in the Ledger last week con-
tanned his property in Amador. This
brought him over to look into it. He
contended that he had redeemed the
property some years ago, and therefore
the state had no right to deed. He
did not have the certificate of redemp-
tion, as that had been destroyed by fire
some time back. An investigation
showed that he had redeemed, but that
he had failed to record the certificate
of redemption. The matter was soon
Strengthened out by the issuance of a
duplicate certificate, which was forth
with recorded, thereby making the
record title perfect. We'll went home
thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
No doubt much property sold to the
state is in the same fix, the redemption
ers merely failing to record their cer-
tificates. They are not absolutely re-
quired to do so, but the redemption
certificate must be recorded in order to
cancel the sale to the state.

A Mistake.

In the Ledger of Aug. I, a CORES
pondent writing from Aukum stated
that fire was started by Sheriff Nor
man, DIR. Norman, H. E. Kay and
others, on their way to Bucks Bar for
the purpose of burning the brush, and
starting the convicts supposed to be in
hiding there, and that the only result
mile of Chet Perry's fence. Sheriff
Norman says this report is not correct.
His posse did not pass within five miles
of Perry's place, and no fire was started
at any point for the purpose of start
ing the convicts. If fire was started,
it was done by other parties, and not
by Sheriff Norman's men. We are
pleased to make this explanation.

Consistency is obviously not one of
the strong characteristics of Professor
sschurman, the president of Cornell
University. He has apparently for
gotten the text of the report he wrote
for the first Philippine commission, of
which he was a member, and today, at
time when the Filipino people are
united in begging Governor Taft to re-
main at the head of their affairs, he is
down of our flag in the archipelago.
The conclusions which he reached in
his report, and which are SO radically
different from those he now expresses
were based upon his own observations
His subsequent and present views he
bases upon reports that have come to
him since his departure from Manila.
lie even relies on reports of Governor
Taft. General Chaffee, although both
90 not hesitate to say that he misin-
terprets their testimony. Governor
Taft, who has a more intimate knowl-
edge of Philippine affairs than any
ether living American and whose opin-
ions are more entitled to the confidence
and appreciation of his fellow citizens
believes and does not hesitate to de-
clare that it would be great mis-
take to pull down our flag in the Phil
ippines. We are inclined-to think that
American people, as q whole, would
prefer to follow him rather than Pres
ident Schurman.

Hays Tribute to the President.

In his speech at a brilliant banquet
of the Ohio Society of New York, given
on the 18th. at the Waldorf Astoria
Secretary Hay took occasion to pay an
eloquent and merited tribute to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The tribute was SO
discriminating ard so just that it VIII
bear repeating. He said:
But l imagine your toast referred
more especially to our actual Presi-
dent, our young, gallant, able, brilliant
President Roosevelt. | am glad to be
called on to say in his absence what
few men would be hardy enough to
say to his face, for. like all men of his
high courage and manliness, he is in
hospitable to hattery.
In the great roll of our Presidents
all of them men of mark, of lofty char
acter and ideals, not one name among
them snirched by the slightest stain
of personal corruption or wrong-doing,
ali of them showing to the world clean
hands and high aims-he holds now. he
will hold forever a distinguished place.
~ great German has said, "A talent
is formed in the soitudes, character
in the torrent of the world. Our Pres
ident has had the advantage of both
these environments.
Prom the cloistered life of American
college boys, sheltered from the ruder
currents of the world by the ramparts
of wealth and gentle nurture, he
passed, still very young, to the wild
and free existence of the plains and
the hills. In the silence of those vast
solitudes men grow to full stature,
when the original stuff is good.
He came back to the East, bringing
with him. as Tennyson sang, fhe
wrestling thews that throw the world
