GET IN LINE.

Home seekers are pouring into
the state at the rate of several
thousands per week. Many of them
will find permanent homes in Cali
fornia Almost every portion of
the state is receiving benefit from
this inflow of population, commen-
surate with the efforts put forth to
attract the emigrants. Amador
county, it must be admitted, is doing
absolutely nothing toward directing
a portion of this human tide hither-
ward. Why are her people asleep,
when others are so wide-awake on
the subject, and are reaping a sub
stantial reward for their trouble?
The popular idea on the outside is
that a mining section is necessarily
barren of other resources, and an
undesirable place in which to make
a permanent home AS matter of
fact, there is no fairer, healthier, or
richer portion of the golden state
than the foothills of Amador county.
Nature has been prodigal of her
gifts, even entirely independent of
the treasures she has stored up IN
the shape of gold-bearing deposits.
Not only is 'every prospect pleas
ing," but the capabilities of soil and
climate, the latent resources in
horticulture are scarcely sur
passed by any other region in
California, and yet they are lying
neglected-neglected for want OF
advertising. While other counties
are adding to their population,
Amador, if not actually backsliding,
is doing no more than holding her
own. The truth is, we have depend
ed too much on gold mining Nature
has been so lavish in this matter
that we have lost sight of the many
other advantages we possess. We
want systematic organized effort.
This has built up other portions of
the state having far less natural at
fractions than ours. It is reported
that over 100, 900 home-seekers pass
through Los Angeles per year.
Many of them settle in southern Cal
ifornia. One of the main reasons
for this is that the people of this
part of the state are ever on the
alert to attract the emigrant.
They know that population means
wealth. The latter is the inevitable
accompaniment of the former in a
new and undeveloped county. Anna
dor county ought to be dotted with
small farms and orchards. Almost
every variety of semi-tropical fruits
thrive here. Land is reasonable in
price. Water for irrigation is
abundant in most sections. 1t is
true, we lack rapid transportation
facilities. Our great drawback is
the absence of railroad connec ton
with the heart of the county. With
this dissideratrem supplied, Amador
would blossom as the rose"

ATTENTION NON-UNION MEN,
Notice is hereby given by Jackson

working in or about the mines and mills
of Jackson mining district, who have
not got card in good standing in some
local union of the Western Federation.

W. D. Ould, President.
81. Gobich, Secretary.
Overlooking its faulty language,
the most charitable construction
we can put upon the posting of such
notice is that those responsible
therefor do not fully realize the
spirit and import of their action. In
its far-reachiug consequence this
notice transcends in Importance the
late strike, as a full-fedged hurri-
cane outranks the gentle zephyr.
We will not at this time comment
upon it as the sober, well-considered
act of an intelligent body of organ
lied laborers. We believe there are
many well-meaning and intelligent
men connected with the Jackson
Miners Union. Surely their sense
of right will assert itself when they
give themselves time to ponder over
the meaning of this outrage upon
the liberty and independence of their
fellow citizens. Never during the
dark days of persecution, born of
religious fanaticism, was a more
intolerant and despotic measure con-
cocted to stamp out that noblest
trait of human character-the exer-
else of ones personal freedom to
earn living as his own conscience
shall dictate, subject only to regu-
lation by the laws of his country.
Has it come to pass that the edicts
of labor unions are stronger to
thwart than the government of the
United States is to protect the indi-
vidual citizen in the enjoyment of
this fundamental right. We have
never before heard-not even in the
extremity of struggle between the
forces of labor and capital, much
less during period of amity be-
tween these two factors of human
progress-of a step so radical and
impolitic as the public posting of
proclamation of the above character.
If persisted in, it simply demands
an appeal to the courts for an in
junction to prevent this threatened
invasion of citizens rights. We
trust, upon mature thought, the
union will reconsider this action,
and withdraw the offensive notice.
Its publication is libelous. No good
can come of it; much harm may re-
suit from persistence in such a
course. Think of the sweeping
nature of the notice even from a
union standpoint. Iden tifieation
with any other labor organization
than the Western Federation will
not count. A man must join that
particular brand of unionism, other
wise his allegiance to the cause of
organized labor will not avail

Cincinnati, Sept 1s.-F'rank Kelley
has returned from Chicago. While
there he saw J. ]. Corbett. OF his
plans Kelley says:
II saw Jim Corbett after his per-
Torrance at the Masonic Temple the
ater last Sunday. and from his con-
versation believe that the proposed
combination with Jefferies will be a
go. 1t is Corbett's idea, as I under
stand it, to build a play around the
last fight and to introduce the char
acters which he depicts in his present
monologue. For instance. one act of
the piece will show Corbett in his train
ing quarters and introduce the queer
characters who were almost daily Wis
itors, the confabs of the sports, etc.
Another act will show .Teffries in his
training quarters. introducing him as
just returned from his deer hunt. with
guides and game and all the interesting
incidents which occurred during the
several days at Hardin Springs. An
other act will picture the ring scenes,

"Corbett's reception in Chicago was a
royal one. The applause was pro-

which time Corbett was so overcome
with emotion that he was almost

Racing at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Only three of the
six starters finished in the Emerald
steeplechase over the short course. the
feature of the Hawthorne card Hand
vice proved an easy winner, pulled to a
walk, with six lengths to spare over
Fallela. Indian II was third, Is lengths
back. Slapdash and Moranda fell. Joe
MCGEE broke down badly and was pull
ed up. In the fall of Slapdash, Jockey
Morrison was painfully, if not seriously
injured.
The case of Plunger Steve LHom-
medieu, who was barred from making a
book in the ring at Hawthorne, has rails
ed point of courtesy between local race
tracks. L'Hommedieu was barred at
Hawthorne for an offense said to have
been committed at Harlem. The pro-
ceeding was unusual and raised the
query as to whether the p1unger would
be asked to also stay out of the Harlem
ring. John Condor, the owner of Har-
lem, was asked as to his probable atti-
tude and stated that at present he has
no reasons for refusing LHommedieu.
He took the ground that until he found
something wrong about the bookmaker
he saw no cause to put up the bars.
LHommedieu made himself more con-
spicuous than ever at Hawthorne. He
played the races from the ground -
and made a killing on the victory of
Emma A. M, who won the fourth event
at odds of 10 to /. L'Hommedieu bet
nearly $1,000, and his winnings were
about $4,000.
