A JUST DECREE.

Judge Alfred Bulge Of the Fifth
Judicial District has recently had
the distinction to hand down a de-
clslon that means a great deal for
the eastern section of this State.
AS we gather the facts at this dis.
lance, it seems that an adventurous
company under the leadership of
Watson OF Nebraska, thought they
saw an opportunity to get hold of
some valuable water frontage rights
at American Falls and waded in to
dlspossess the legitimate owners.
It is reported that some prominent
Idaho men are connected with
Watson in his questionable enter
prise and attempted shrewd practice.
Without going into details, it NAV
be said that the defendant in the
case was the American Falls Power
and Water Company, at the head
of which is Mr.. J. H. Brady of
Pocatello. Judge Bulge in a care
fully prepared and able decision
found for the defendant and the
Brady people remain in possession
of their own. A word respecting
Mr.. Brady and his associates NAV
not be out of place. For years
there has been talk of utilizing the
natural power at the American Falls

NEW COMMISSIONER.

The appointment of Mr.. T. c,
Egleston of this city, as Commis-
sioner of Immigration, Labor and
Statistics, is, we believe, one of the
happiest strokes of the present State
Administration. Of course it is i'm
possible to say before hand what a
man will do in aparticular situation,
but if natural ability, coupled with
elegant acquired accomplishments
toreshadow anything, we may as
sumo that the new commissioner
will come up to the highest expect
atlons. Mr.. Egleston stands high
in this community as a successful
business man and public spirited
citizen. He served as Mayor of
Caldwell one term and his admins
tration was characterized BY integ-
rity and ability. He has been
President of the Board of Directors
of the Pioneer Irrigation District
tor several years, and has shown
capacity and energy in developing
that great enterprise. He is well
educated on liberal lines. and witha1
gentleman of culture, refinement
aud sterling integrity. He has al.
ways been pronounced Republican
and has rendered some service to
the party, although deeply absorbed
IN the care and management of a
large and prosperous business. The
retiring commissioner is happy in
the opportunity presented for hand.

emoluments Of the Bureau of I'm

an honored and admired townsman
and it is with particular pride and
pleasure that we present to the
press and people Of Idaho, Hon. 4.

of the Snake river, and dozen or
more concerns have endeavored to
accomplish it, but they were largely
SPECTATORS who sought rather to
control valuable franchises than To-.
actually develop anything. Finally
Mr.. Brady took hold of the business
and through his financial capacity
and magnificent energy has done
things. In the middle of the river,
he has erected a splendid stone
power house and installed two i'm.
mense turbine water wheels Of 1900
horsepower each. These operate
two dynamos which generate the
electricity for light and power at
American Falls, Pocatello and
Blackfoot,' the last town being some
40 miles distant. Pocatello is &c
miles from the power plant. Mr..
Brady's intention is to extend his
power and light system until every
farm house within radius of so
miles can be supplied. He is also
in negotiation with points as distant
as Salt Lake City with a view to
furnishing power. After he had
thus far developed this splendid
enterprise, it attracted the 'cupidity
of the Watson crowd, and they en-
deavored to litigate Mr.. Brady out
of valuable rights which he had
acquired. Judge Bulge in a care
fully considered decision has
checked, and it is hoped finally es-
topped, this predatory expedition.
The people of all southeastern
Idaho are rejoiced at the outcome.
and hope that Mr.. Brady may now
proceed with his enterprises unin-
terrupted.

SALVATION ARMY.

The Salvationists are with us
with song, sermon and prayer.
This organization, with its peculiar
dress and peculiar methods, is de-
serving Of sincere regard. The
men and women connected with it
show by actual works that they are
imbued with the true spirit of
Christianity. The good they do is
OF tangible and practical character.
The sacrifices they make for hui
manity's sake are real. They,
more than any other religious Or
ganization, go forth in search of
sinners in order to save them. To-
gether with their religious minis
trations, they carry on systematical
charitable work of the highest and
most bene6cent kind, going among
the lowly and ignorant, endeavoring
to relieve their distress and eleavte
their souls. For years, the Saliva
tlonists were ridiculed, scofed and
lnsulted and often by the respecta-
BILE devotees of Christ. but that has
almost entirely passed away, and
today the black bonuets and mill
tary caps are regarded as emblem
atlcal of pure religion, active and
loving charity. 1t is earnestly hoped
that no citizens of Caldwell will so
tar forget or dtmean himself &c RI
otter the slightest indignity to the
noble men and women of the
Army during their stay with us,
but on the other hand that all will
treat them with the utmost consid-
Grafton and generosity. Those who
desire to do something of good in
the world can find no safer or sure
means of accomplishing substantial
results than by donating literally
to the Salvation Army.

TO OPPOSE INCREASED ASSESS
MENT.

A meeting of those delegated to
appear before the state board of
equalization and oppose the proposed
increase in the assessed valuation of
property in Amador county, was
held in the supervisors room Tues
day, to map out plan to be adopt
ed, and collect data to be presented
to the state board. There was but
one view expressed on the merits OF
the issue, namely, that it is out OF
the question to entertain any such
idea at this time. All the mem
bers of the delegation were present,
and discussed the situation. And
all were agreed that the property is
assessed at higher rate at present
in proportion to its actual value,
than at any time in the history of
the county. 1t is not believed that
the state board, in view of the facts,
seriously contemplates raise. We
do not approve of taking too gloomy
a view of the industrial outlook in
Amador county. We have always
thought, and still think, that we
have in these foothills, one of the
garden spots of California, not mere
ly from a mineral standpoint, but
from a general view At the same
time, it is useless to conceal the fact
that prosperity is not striking us
very hard just now All our material
interests are depressed. That they
will come up again in time, there is
no doubt. But while we are under
a cloud, and the cry of hard times is
in every mouth, we naturally pro-
test against being boosted by the
tax-gauging officers. The officials
appointed to lay the case of Amador
county before the state body at Sac
ramento, are animated by one spirit
to prevent the injustice of an in
crease at this time. We have no
doubt they will accomplish the OBJ
ject of their mission.

AN ELECTRIC ROAD.

The building of an electric rail
road to the mineral belt of Amador
county is not a new idea. It was
agitated fifteen years ago. The
Amador Electric Railroad and Light
Company was organized mainly with
the view of connecting the mining
towns of Jackson and Sutter Creek
with the lone branch road. For
some reason the railroad part of the
enterprise was dropped, and the
light business was carried to con-
summation in preference. There is
little doubt that had the original
scheme of railroad been pushed to
completion it would have proved one
OF the best paying enterprises in the
county. The American River Elec-
trio Company is now arranging for
pole line through this county for
the transmission of electric energy.
The multiplicity. of these power
transmission schemes is making the
question of finding profitable uses
for the power generated a serious
one. These companies prefer new
fields. To compete for business
already created, and in the hands oil
other companies is not profitable as
rule. 1t means a cut in prices by
reason of competition. Now the
operation of railroad from Jackson
to some railroad point on the main
line is an inviting field of enterprise.
1t is bound to be taken advantage OF
sooner or later. The traffic is yearly
becoming too much to be handled
by traction engines or freight teams.
Amador ledger., 1903-09-04

With some encouragement from local
capitalists, probably this new power
company might be induced to take
up the proposition. In such an
undertaking it ought not to be a
difficult matter to secure subscrip-
tions aggregating from $50, 900 to
$50, 600 for stock in the company.
And that ought to be sufficient to
float the enterprise, with the aid of
a company behind it with the nee
essary power to operate the line
The fact is patent to every close OBJ
server that Amador county will
never take the place that rigbtfully
belongs to her until she possesses
advantages in transportation equal
to those enjoyed by other sections.
Our mineral riches are not to be
under estimated. They are vast,
and perhaps will always be our main
stay. They have not in the past
filled up our farming and horticul-
tural lands with thrifty and pros
porous settlers. Nothing but rail
road facilities to the populous centre
will do this Our energies should
be turned in this direction. 1t will
help every branch of industry. We
have managed to get along without
this help. But we have not grown
worth speaking Of We have Jagged
behind other sections not blessed
with the natural advantages to be
found here. Years ago it was com
mon to hear opinions adverse to the
incoming of railroad Such obiec-
tions are heard no more. 1t has
given place to a settled conviction
that it is the one thing lacking to
place the county on solid and per.
manent basis of prosperity.

ing Mrs. Varney's relatives at Uno.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grubb and son, George,
have gone to work in the fruit orchards
near Oakland. Richard Grubb is still

Nash Gibson met with quite an acci-
dent Friday while coming from Hun
gerford S mill with load of lumber.
At point in the road short distance
from Cedar Grove, he fell insensible
from the wagon to the ground, cutting
cash in his forehead spraining or
breaking his right wrist, and hurting
him about the chest and side. The
brake was not put on, and the horses
started on lively run. The lumber
was quite help in keeping them going,
as it was down hill. John McGregor
was behind him with load of lumber.
On coming up he saw Nash lying there
and the team running. He took
horse from his team and started after
the horses, catching them near George
humphreys house, on the narrow
grade in the road. Nothing was harm
ed about the team. 1t was tied up to
the fence, and all was ready to start to
Plymouth Saturday morning. The
team was very spirited, nice team of
horses, and it might have been a great
deal worse smash-up than it was, if
they had not been caught on the grade.
The seven-year- son of Bert
Farnsworth, who has been living with
his grandparents, has been in the
habit of getting powder from the store.
But this time he got large quantity
and went to secluded spot in the field
and set it afire with matches he secured
from the house. His cap was burned
up, and his face and eyes badly burned.
He came in and washed his face in the
water trough, when he began to cry
with the pain. He positively refused
to tell where it happened, but they
tralled him to the spot by following his
tracks. They fixed him comfortable,
and will take him to his parents in
Placerville tomorrow.

Serious Loss of Cattle.

The experience of some of the cattle
men in the mountain ranges this season
has been of d very costly nature. In
the high attitudes of Kirkwoods and
Silver lake the stock has Jared toler-
ably well; but in the lower ranges, a
few miles above Chichizola' saw mill
there has been great suffering, owing
to over-stocking and insufficiency OF
feed. On account of the high price of
beef for several years, farmers have
been induced to go into the business of
raising stock to a greater extent than
formerly. BY over-stocking their val
ley holdings many were led to seek
pasture in the public lands in the noun
tains. We are told that one stockman,
named Lewis, from San Joaquin county,
drove 200 head to the region above
Wiley's, alread taxed to its utmost to
sustain the herds accustomed to browse
there in summer The stock being un-
used to the mountains and the feeding,
suffered heavily. He drove out the
band-all that could get out-a week
or so ago. Some fifty head were left
behind, too weak and poor to make
the trip. Ten perished on the way out,
and many more are likely to perish as
the weather becomes colder. 1t was a
costly venture. The lesson cannot be
too strongly impressed upon cattle
owners, who have been in the habit of
pasturing their stock in the valleys
during the summer. The scant graz
ing in the mountains affords no hope
of relief for the over-stocked ranges of
the low lands. Disaster is the almost
certain outcome of any attempt in this
direction.

Narrow Escape

The Tuolumne Miner and Lumber
man contains the following account of
an accident that befell a young man
who was born and raised in the vicinity
of Jackson. He is brother of C T.
Bartlett, formerly school teacher in
Amador county but now employed in
the railway postal department at Oak
land:
Elmer Bartlett, while engaged in dig
ging a well in Newtown Friday morn
ing, suffered fall of 25 feet down the
narrow shaft, and his recovery with
but superficial injuries seems little
short of miraculous. Bartlett, upon
descending in the well, noticed the air
was bad, and feeling its effects ordered
the men on the windlass to hoist him
to the surface, a distance of about 60
feet. When about half way up he be-
came dizzy from the effects of the gas
and fell back down the we'll, striking
on the small of the back acrobat fash
ion, the blow rendering him uncon-
sclous. 1t was found that his scalp was
lacerated in three places and his back
badly cut and bruised. He will be fully
recovered in few days.
