EXPENSIVE ASPARAGUS.
A Luxury in dollhouse Vege tables
That Is for the Very
Rich Only.

81 suppose the costliest of all vege-
tables sold here at this time of the
year, or at any time. for that matter,
said dealer in fine fruits and vege-
tables, reports the New York Sun
would be the dollhouse asparagus
that has just come in. 1t is produced
by a grower in Illinois. This retails
now at ten dollars dozen punches, OF
one dollar bunch. Each bunch like
by a grower in Illinois. This retails
of these some are sure to be pretty
slender, so that you don't get very
much asparagus for dollar.
Take the stalks big and little, as
they run, and they cost you about Il
cents apiece. The prices for this as
paragus hold up pretty well till say
along in March, when they get down
to about $3.50 dozen.
''There is more Of such asparagus
sold than formerly, but altogethe
there is not very great quantity
though there are more people in New
York now than ever before we'll able to
buy whatever luXur:es they want, ano
they buy costly fruits and vegetables
more freely than they ever did,"

CAMEL A CURIOSITY.
One with Two Humps Creates Sem
satiOn Among the People of
Cairo, Egypt.

One would hardly expect to hear of
camel being an object of public at
traction in Egypt. That such is the
case, however, is vouched for by the
Egyptian Gazette. ''The ship of the
DESERT" or the one-humped drome-
Diary, is very common in the streets of
Cairo and other parts of the Nile
country, but when the geological gar
den at Ghizeh secured specimen of
the two-humped Bactrian camel there
was indeed a sensation.
The double decked ship of the des-
ert was the most interesting animal
in the menagerie to the native Egyp-
tan who had been familiar all his life
with the one-humped variety.
Strange as it may seem, this particu-
lar specimen was bred and secured
from the Rotterdam geological gar
dens, where the well-known Swiss nat
uralist, Dr. Buettikofer, is rearing the
species with success.
What the dromedary is to Sahara's
parched sands, says the Philadelphia
Record, the Bactrian camel is to the
dreary stretches of Asia. As the
dromedary may be likened to the swift
and safe passenger ship, so may the
patient Bactrian beast be referred to
as the slower but all the more impor-
tant deeply laden merchantmen, for
centuries on centuries, generation
after generation, these patient crea-
lures have been transporting the
wealth of China, farther India and the
orient generally to Russia and thence
throughout the Occident.

AS USUAL.

Referring to the recent robbery of
Neil Hamm's place in this city the
Ledger, with it's usual degree of
fairness, says: "Sheriff Norman and
Deputy Jackson at once repaired to
the scene, and Young was soon
placed under arrest. y Wouldn' t
that jar?
The truth is that Constable Kelly
made the arrest, secured the con
fession and the coin before the sheriff
and his deputy arrived.
Isn't it in you to play fair?-Echo.
We beg to remind our cotem-
porary that the Ledger reports an
item of news in strict accordance
with the information which it re-
ceives. Perhaps the Echo man is
able to improve upon this policy.
We leave the public to Judge as to
that. Sometimes our information is
incomplete and inaccurate, but If
does not follow that the item is
written from ulterior motives. To
insinuate, as our Athenian friend
does in the above extract, that
facts were deliberately suppressed,
only serves to exhibit the Jaundiced
character of the critic. Fairness
is conspicuously absent apparently
in his makeup.

THE SCHOOL POPULATION,

The returns from the school CEN
sus marshals which we publish in
another column afford room for
grave concern. If they are to be
taken as presenting the juvenile
statistics in their true light, they
are positively alarming. The school
population is falling off year after
year, according to the official figures.
This falling off, however, was never
before brought out so alarmingly as
this year. We have been accus-
toned to fluctuations of population
within the county, incident in a
great measure to the changing for
tune of the mineral industry. But
from the standpoint of the county at
large we have usually managed to
average up fairly we'll in the number
of school children. This year the
statistics show heavy falling off all
along the line. Not more than half
dozen districts show an increase,
and in no case is the gain large. On
the other hand, the loss in some dis
trlcts IS very serious. One of the
most populous districts in the county
has been cut down one-seventh of it's
school strength. Every township
shows diminishing youthful popu-
lation. For the whole county the
loss is about seven per cent. Such a
rate OF decline con tinued for IA wears
would wipe out our local school svs-
tenn. This seems all the more sur
prising when we consider that the
year has been remarkable for the
number of bome-seekers fiockinp
into California. Instead of gaining
by the influx, we have been unable to
hold our own. It is well to look the
situation squarely in the face. If
our school population is declining,
the conclusion is inevitable that our
adult population is decreasing in the
same ratio. Population represents
wealth. 1--we are losing population.
the inference is that our taxable
property is suffering in value also.
In this connection we must mention
one fact that may to some extent
tone down the reported decrease of
children. In accordance with a

IN MEMORIAM.

Whereas, 1t has pleased our heaven
ly Father to take from our midst our
beloved sister Minerva Mitchell, we,
the committee appointed by Volcano
Rebekah Lodge No. ia, l. o. o. F.,
to draft resolutions of sympathy and
coincidence with the family of our de-
ceased sister, do resolve that while we
bow in humble submission to the will
of our Heavenly Father, We do not the
less grieve for the loss of our beloved
noble grand, Minerva Mitchell, who
has been called from earth's labors to
perfect rest.
Resolved, That in the death of sister
Minerva Mitchell this lodge has lost
one of its most respected and worthy
members, and her family a noble
hearted, loving wife, and a devoted
mother, and this community a noble,
self-sacrificing woman, our loss is ire
parable.
Resolved, That this lodge tender its
heartfelt sympathy to the sadly afflicted
family OF our deceased sister.
Resolved, That the charter of our
lodge be draped in mourning for a
period of thirty days, and that copy
of these resolutions be entered on the
minutes of our lodge. and a copy sent
the family of our deceased sister, and a
copy sent for publication.

change made in the law relating to
the school census, the marshals were
required this year to furnish a list
showing the name of every census
child. This was not required under
the old law; simply the number of
children in each household was re-
ported, without giving the names.
1t was much easier to fall into error
in reporting a larger number of
children than were actually in the
district under the old than the
present law. Indeed, where the
names have to be given, it is hard
matter to stuff the roll to any ex-
tent. In the opinion of school super
intendent Gordon this change in the
law accounts largely for the decrease
reported. He believes the decrease
is more apparent than real; that
there are as many school children in
the county to-day as there have
been in any previous year.

ACTION DEFERRED.

At the special session of the
board of supervisors held last Sat
urday the application of the Ameri-
can Electric Company to erect pole
lines through Amador county was
deferred until the July meeting. We
do not know what led to this post
ponement. The company is prepar-
ing to put up line through this and
adjoining counties for the purpose
of supplying light and power 1t is
in measure a competing line.
There is no fault to be found with
the Standard Electric Company.
That corporation has spent money
with lavish hand in adding to the
taxable wealth of the county, and
the utilization of its resources. It
is deserving of all praise for what it
has already accomplished, and for
what it is still doing. 1t is by all
odds the heaviest taxpayer in the
county, and is therefore entitled to
due consideration at the hands of
the authorities. The postponement
of action was probably to enable the
supervisors to investigate the mat
ter more thoroughly If so, no one
will question the wisdom of the move.
We cannot think for moment that
the delay was prompted by any hos
tile feeling toward the new enter
prise. Every onward movement
awakens opposition from some
source. It is bound to be so, because
every step in advance disturbs the
old order of things. 1t causes re-
arrangement of business to conform
with new conditions. 1t is only
natural that those whose interests
are injuriously affected-temporarily
only it may be-should not take
kindly to the innovation. We do
not believe that any governing body
will be swayed by such motives. The
world is moving. Old things are
passing away. We canont stay the
onward march of progress even if
we wanted to. We do not want to,
however. Rather let US encourage
every effort in this direction. Even
the Standard Electric Company at
the inception of its vast schemes in
this county, was looked upon with
misgivings. And yet no one need
to be told what an immense benefit
it has been TO the development of
our industries. 1t is the province
of government to give all enter
prises fair field and no favor.
Every enterprise adds to the tax
able wealth of the county, and
brings revenue to the public
treasury. From this standpoint
alone the American company should
be encouraged.
