There is discord in the home of the
Stohrs, No. Stanyan street. The
mother Of Frank StOhr beQueathed to
him a deed to the residence, and his
sister. Clothilde, a teacher in the pub

set aside. Brother and sister live in
the house, and the latter keeps Mrs.
T. NJ. Todd and an aged gentleman
named w G. Gibbs, also dwelling
there, for the alleged purpose of pro-
tecting her from her brother. The
presence Of Mrs. Todd, and Mr.. Gibbs
is obnoxious to Frank, and last Sun
day he ordered the old gentleman to

should not retain possession of the
house, as it is apparent that peace can
not be preserved while joint occupancy
is maintained. 1t is understood that
Frank is taking legal steps to get
Clothilde ousted.

The Meadow Lark.

The extract given below from letter
written to one of the deputy game com
missioners by Chas. A. Vogelsang,
chief deputy, will probably throw new
light on the subject of the meadow lark.
1t reads as follows:
\ 1t is popular error that
meadow larks do damage to grain, but
this is disproven by the agricultural
department at Washington, which has
shown by the analysis of 27S stomachs
of meadow larks that little or no grain
is ever found, and the little percentage
that is shown was found there at time
when there was no insect life to feed
upon. They are strictly insectivorous
birds, and are positive benefit to
every agricultural community. OF
course this statement will not be ac-
cepted by many worthy people who
are honest enough in their opinions,
still have not given the matter sufficient
investigation. They see the bird in
the fields, following the plough and
going among the grain that is sown,
not realizing that he is there simply to
pick up the weevil that is found in the
grain or such insect life that is turned
up in the burrows, and not to feed on
grain. Ii some OF these critics would
take the pains to examine the stomachs
of the birds just when grain is being
sown, they would very soon see their
error, If you look at the statutes, Sec
tion 637 A, you will find that the owner
or tenant of any premises where such
bird is found destroying fruit or crops,
has the right to kill such birds. This
provision was incorporated simply to
insure the passage of the BILL that a
certain amount of protection could be
given to a bird whose singing is a
feature of every California landscape,
and whose mission is simply to do good
and make the country brighter for his
presence.
Ranchers, who ought to know, say
differently-that the birds pull up the
young grain by the roots-whether in
the search for insects or seeds is i'm
material, the destructive work counts
just the same.-ED1

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Supervisors have no right to Allow Ad
ditional Clerical Force at Public Ex-
pense.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision in the case of W. E. Agard
of San Diego against E. Shaffe, as
auditor of San Diego county, which
holds as unlawful the acts of boards
OF supervisors in employing addi-
tional clerical force, at public ex-
pense, to assist county recorders in
preparing abstracts of mortgages to
be furnished to county assessors
pursuant to section 3678 of the DO
litical code. In the case cited above
the board of supervisors authorized
the county recorder to employ Agard
for the work mentioned above, and
allowed his claim of $1304. The
auditor, however, refused to draw
his warrant on the county treasurer
for the payment of the same, and
Agard resorted to litigation to com
pei the auditor to draw the warrant.
The superior court rendered a de
cision ordering the warrant drawn.
but the auditor appealed the case to
the supreme court and that tribunal
has upheld his contentious.
The supervisors acted under sec
tion 3679 of the political code, which
empowers them to provide for the
payment of such additional clerical
force as may be required to enable
the county recorders to comply with
the provisions of this section.
The court, however, holds that this
section of the code is in conflict with
section 8 article 4 of the constitu-
tion, taking advantage of which a
board of supervisors could at will
flX, to some extent, the compensa-
tion OF the recorder, which power to
fix the compensation of county Off
GERS rests, under the constitution,
solely with the legislature. Solauo
Republican.
The w. E. Agard referred to in
the above was formerly resident of
Jackson, and married to a young
lady of this town, Miss Clara Kent.
They left this county some fifteen
years ago, and have since made their
home in the southern county. The
decision is Of much interest to all
counties in the state. Without the
express sanction of law, the super
visors have no authority to entail
expense for extra help for any of the
county officers at the cost of the
public treasury.

REPRESENTATION NECESSARY

1t is well to impress upon the
voters of Amador county that every
citizen in order to vote at the COM
ing presidential election must be re-
registered. The great register used
at the last general election has been
cancelled by order of the board of
supervisors. The general law re-
quires a new registration of voters
for every general election-that
means every two years. The re-
quirement is no doubt very nee
essary in the large centers of popu-
lation, but for counties like Amador
where the changes all told will not
amount to more than 300 or 400
names, it is in the nature of a hard
ship. Years ago Amador held on
to its old great register from one
election to another until there were
nearly as many dead and absent per-
sons on the voting roll as actual
voters. This left the door open for
fraud, and the evil was at length
abolished. Now, we are drifting to
the other extreme. A new register
every four years would meet all the
demands in fully one half the coun-
ties in the state. To e-register all
the voters at every election involves
much time and expense; it entails
hardship upon many citizens, and
has been the cause of several to lose
their votes. However, such is the
law, and it is well for every voter of
AmadOr county to understand that
he must make new application to
get on the register this year, other
wise he will be apt to lose his vote
at the coming president tial election.
Every person having business at the
county seat should make it point
to call at the county clerks office
and make the necessary affidavit of
registration. Don't delay this mat
ter until the rush of the campaign
is fairly on.

FOR INCORPORATION.

The Ledger now urges upon the
people of Jackson the desirability of
incorporating the town as city of
the sixth class. 1t would be well to
take immediate action in this direc-
tion. There is no doubt that under
the circumstances now existing, in
corporation will carry. The princi-
pal reasons that prevailed against
the incorporation three years ago,
no longer exist. At that time it
was the custom, sanctioned by law
that business men in Incorporated
towns were liable to the county IL
cense. That is the municipal license
was an additional tax upon the bust
ness interests. The only county
burdens they were relieved from by
Incorporation were the road tax levy
and the road poll tax. Instead of
paying money for road purposes for
the county, they paid a street tax
for town purposes. Since the last
election, however, the law has been
changed, and no county license can
be imposed within the town limits.
Incorporation now means that the
revenue from road tax, poll taxes
and licenses, is diverted from the
county treasury to the municipal
treasury, forming the main support
of the town government. Now let us
see how this revenue would pan out.
An examination of the records
shows the revenue contributed by
Township No. l from these various
sources to be about as follows:
Assessable property in Jack
son school district $807,-
$40 at SOC on the $100 now
levied for road purposes. 4035 90
Road Poll taxes collected
Township 1....... 1900 90
County licenses Twp 1. go. 1900 90
1O0otl SOCo0 w
Making all allowances for the fact
that the proposed incorporation
would not include all the territory
of Jackson school district, and also
liberal deduction for the licenses
collected from business places in
township one that would be outside
the proposed town limits, it may be
safely reckoned that $1,000 would be
raised for town purposes without in
creasing the burdens of the property
holders one jot. With conservative
management this ought to leave from
$4,000 to $4,000 available for perma-
nent improvement each which
is far more than Jackson now gets
from the county governments system.
Above and beyond all, Jackson in
corporated would enjoy the privilege
of attending to its own affairs, which
is now denied her. Let the move
ment be started at once, so as to
secure a verdict at the polls before
the new license ordinance goes into
effect.
