A Nuisance That Should Be Abated.

Main street of Jackson seems to be a
rendezvous for dogs that are continually
disturbing the peace of citizens whose
business calls them on the street,
Whenever a strange canine comes
through town then the racket begins.
Big dogs, little dogs, short tail dogs,
and long tail dogs all join forces and
set up howl beyond endurance. The
nuisance is daily aggravated by some
reckless boy who. ''for the fun of the
thing" helps matters along by adding
words of encouragement to the howl
ing brutes. Quite a number of the
dogs have owners, while others are of
the hobo fraternity, but they all need
calling down. 1t is true the people of
Jackson have become somewhat accus-
toned to the Indian village style of af-
fairs, but what an impression it must
make on stranger in our midst Dogs
can't be blamed for the state of affairs,
neither can boys. They like fun and
excitement, but it is somebody's bust.
ness to suppress it, and the Ledger in
tends to do its share in that direction:

be about $1,000. The cause of the fire
is unknown.

Accidents Will Happen.

Last Sunday week a party of jack
sons young people went out to the
Tabeau reservoir for an outing. The
day was we'll spent, but the pleasure of
the return trip was somewhat marred,
that is so far as one couple was con-
cerned, by an accident which caused
them untold anguish and humiliation.
1t was the breaking of the front axle
of buggy which was occupied by a
prominent young business man of Jack
son and a young lady, whose sweet
voice can be heard any day in any part
of Amador county. The trouble began
about one mile this side of the reser-
voir, and at the parting of the ways"
Miss - her fOrefathers were presi-
dents-was thrown to the ground and
received good shake up but happily
escaped injury. The driver managed
to hold on to the lines and was dragged
by the horse several yards before the
animal could be brought to standstill.
He was somewhat bruised, but likewise
escaped injury. The screams of the
young lady in question brought the
carriage Immediately in front of them
to standstill. After ascertaing the
cause of the alarm, the ''cause" was
taken in and conveyed to Jackson,
while the cattle dealer, as such being a
good rider, mounted his buggy horse
and made his lonely way to the city.

Government Aid to Farmers.

How many people of this county have
visited the Agricultural Experimental
Station located about four miles above
jackson? This is truly an interesting
place, and no one interested in fruit
culture should fail to visit this beauti-
ful place and learn what can be pro-
duced in the way of fruits without irri-
cation. The station has been in exist
ence for fourteen years, under the
supervision of the state university, as
sisted by federal appropriations.
When this location was selected by
the government it was for the purpose
of sscertaining the worth of the soil
peculiar to the foothills for agri-
cultural uses. 1t is needless to say that
the experiment has been success. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Through the courtesy of ]. h.
Barber, who has charge of the station,
the Ledger has become acquainted
with the many details of the work. At
the present time thirty acres are under
state OF high cultivation, and the
crops produced are marvellous. 1t
must be understood that the land now
in use is what is known as ''hill tops"
part of which is red clay soil, inter-
mixed with granite, and was formerly
covered with chaparal and pine trees,
the same as can be found anywhere in
this locality. Every kind of fruit tree
and grape imaginable are grown, and
show health and productiveness, and
the whole secret lies in cultivation,
which example should be followed by
all who wish to gain good livelihood
by raising fruit. We will print from
time to time statements and statistics
to be furnished by Mr.. Barber for the
benefit of our readers, and if they profit
thereby, farming can be made a sue
cess in this county. In fact it is sue
cess. All that is required is proper
attention and work.

Religious Notes.

Rev. Geo. Beatty of San Francisco,
who is engaged in Sunday school work
in connection with the M. E. church,
delivered a few lectures in Amador
county during the past week. Last
Monday night he lectured at the M.
E. church in Jackson, and his discourse
was interesting aud displayed the true
ability of Mr.. Beatty as a forcible
speaker
Bishop Moreland of Sacramento,
diocese of the Episcopal church,
preached to an appreciati,e congrega-
tion at st. Augustine's chapel in Jack
son last Sunday. Confirmation was
conferred on several who were admitted
as members of the church. He preach
ed in the forenoon to the Sutter Creek
people at their church. The Bishop is
a hard worker, and his efforts in behalf
of the Amador county portion of his
district has reaped extraordinary re-
suits in the up-building of the churches,

Rural Delivery.

The postmaster of Jackson has re-
ceived from the authorities at Wash
ington request for maps of Amador
county, showing roads, dwellings, and
other information concerning the coun-
ty. The information is sought with a
view to the introduction of the rural
delivery system in this county, if deem
ed advisable after full investigation.
No map of Amador county has been
published since 1881, so that a COM
plete map, showing the data required
up to the present date, is not procur-
able. 1t is thought that set of plats,
like those made for the insurance busi-
ness, showing the lots and residences
in each town, would answer the
purpose.

Leg Broken.

A man named Giuseppe Malinelli,
commonly known as Jos. Campi, who
lives across the creek from the South
Spring Hill mine, near Amador City,
was the victim of serious accident
last Friday. He attempted to walk
across the foot bridge crossing the
gulch to his residence, with a heavy
load, when he missed his footing, and
fell, fracturing his left leg just above
the ankle. The fracture is a bad one,
the bone protruding through the skin.
The unfortunate victim is 70 years of
age, and this fact adds to the serious
ness of the case. Malinelli was brought
to the hospital Saturday. DIR. Gall is
doing his utmost to save the limb, and
so far the patient is doing as well as
could be expected.

OFF for Blue Lakes.

The Standard Electric Company is
sending a large force OF men to the
Blue lakes to work on the dam there
the coming season. About 25 men left
jackson Tuesday morning, intending
to take the direct route over the noun
tains. They will be conveyed by team
to Hams station, about 35 miles from
Jackson. From that point they ex
pect to foot it for the remainder of the
trip, about so miles. The snow has
disappeared as far as few miles above
Hams. Each man will have to pack
provisions and blankets with him. The
men are to get from 81. so to So per day,
pay to commence when they reach
their destination and commence to
work. The first work will be to clear
the road from Gardenville to Blue
lakes, so that supplies and material
can be hauled in from the Carson side.
Active operations on the dam itself
will commence early next month. 1t is
expected to complete the Blue lakes
dam this season. The trip of these
men going in at this early season, is a
difficult and hazardous one. There
has been very heavy snowfall. The
white mantle is many feet in depth
from above Hams clear through. To
tramp for two days at least over this
glistening wilderness is an undertaking
calculated to tax the physical endur-
ance to the utmost.

A Bright Start In Life.

DR.. G. M. Freeman jr., a recent
graduate of Cooper's Medical College,
and his mother, have been spending a
few days in Jackson, as the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. VOORHEES, of the
National. They left Monday morning
for the city. DR.. Freeman is an ex-
ceptionally bright young man. His
college class was composed of forty-six
students, and he stood first in the
graduation class, which is certainly a
record to be proud of. DR.. Freeman sr.,
the father of the young man, formerly
practiced medicine in lone and Sutter
Creek, and his many friends in the
county will be pleased to hear of his
sons substantial start in life.
