GOOD ROADS.

To the rural inhabitant, especially,
and the urbanite generally, the fore
going headline is of more than pass
ing interest. While it is not especi-
ally intended to mean that this is
the proper cognomen of the thor
oughfares with which our county is
blessed, it is simply hint as to what
might be. While we, of the county,
are possibly doing all in our power
to bring about such desirable state
of affairs, without the assistance of
outside aid, there now appears a
chance for the national government
to not only become interested in the
improvement of Amador county's,
or even California's roads, but those
of the entire commonwealth. At
least it will have the opportunity to
become interested, and no little re-
sponsibility as to whether it does or
not rests with the people them
selves. The federal government
takes care of its rivers and harbors,
protects its manufactures, helps to
build cities, but has never come to
seriously consider the interest of
the man who supplies all these en-
terprises with the actual necessities
of life-the farmer-to the extent
of improving his facilities for mar
keting his produce. However, at
this session of congress Messrs.
Brownlow of Tennessee, and Gal
linger of New Hampshire, have in
troduced in the house and senate
respectively, bill which has for it's
object the alienation of the bad
road difficulty. The text of the bill
provides that, along with the others,
congress appropriate for the use of
road improvements the sum of $24,-
OOO, 900, available in instalments of
$4,000, 900 a year for the years 1904 :
90; that the amount be apportioned
to each state according to popula-
ton, provided that no state receive
less than minimum of $3.50, 900,
and that in order for any state,
or county in same, to receive its
share of this money, a like amount
be raised for the purpose where it is
to be used. In New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, New York,
and Pennsylvania the state legis-
-latures have provided a law for state
aid for roads on something of the
same principle as the foregoing, and
the results have been far-reaching
and beneficial, and there is no doubt
such a. move on the part of the ma
tional government would not only
prove blessing, but is matter of
justice and humanity to those who
contribute more to the prosperity
and stability of the nation than any
other class the tillers of the soil. If
you are interested in this matter
write your congressman to vote and
work for the passage of the bill.

the salary cases from Amador conn.


the salary cases from Amador eoun-
ty. The last legislature did classify
the townships of Amador county ac-
cording to population for the pur-
pose of fixing the compensation OF
township officers. In so doing, the
supreme court says the law making
body exceeded its authority. This
point is clearly placed in issue in
the Amador cases, so the outlook is
bright that the county will win in
this important suit Several other
counties have appealed on the same
proposition, but Amador has taken
the initiative, and will probably be
the first to get a decision.

Authorities.
A case that 10 puzzliug one U. 8
judge, . senator and congressman al
we'll as the War department is that Of
Willie Thorne, Of this city who en-
listed last spring at Fort Riley. He
Is IS years old but was enlisted as q
and was later sent to Fort Myers,
Virginia. There the boy became
homesick and left for home. The
officers traced him easily and ordered
bis arrest here. s. S. Smith and E.
G. Little took hand in the matter
and had him released on a habeas cor
pus in probate court. Before the
matter could be heard before Judge
Flack q troop OF cavalry came here
from Fl. Riley, presumably on o prac'
tice march but in reality after the
boy. He was delivered to the SOL
diers by Sheriff Baker in spite OF the
probate judges order and he was
taken to the fort.
Then Congressman Calderhead and
Senator Long were appealed to and
they sought his release by the War
department on the ground that the
boy was under age and could not be
held as . soldier. The matter also
came before Judge Pollock Of the
federal court and was argued last
month. He has it under advisement.
Thorne is yet at Fort Riley and his
parents are wondering what will
happen.
The case is unique in army annals
in that the boy never was before q
court martial. II he is allowed to
leave the army it means that every
recruit in the ranks under 81 years Of
age may walk out. But he evidently
had no right to enlist at IS years old,
hence the problem Of the disposition
OF his Gaze. Several letters have been
received from Washington about it
but no feasible method Of solution has
been given.
Had Sheriff Baker not given him up
Judge Flack would have had juaisdic.
lion and it was . somewhat risky
thing for the sheriff to do. However.
the soldiers would probably have
taken him to the fort anyhow.
Willie is bright boy and probably
did not realize the Importance Of his
action either in eulistiug or in COM
ing homo. There is no question but
that be should be released but the
authorities don't seem to know how
