The BRUCE CONVENTION
Was Not Largely Attended but was
Enthusiastic and Valuable

Was Not Largely Attended but was
Enthusiastic and Valuable
The Gates County Sunday School con-
vention met at Bruce Thursday and
Friday of last week It was the second
meeting of the association. The attend
ance was not large, but important, and
those who did attend were enthusiastic.
The Ladysmith Sunday schools were
we'll represented.
Some one said that "He who builds
the Church of Christ must save the
Children; if we save the children we
save the world" We are witnessing
quite revival of interest in child nur-
ture just now, and Gates County is de-
termined to keep up with the times.
There are twenty six or more, Sun
day schools in the county. That is a
good indication. 1t ought to be an at
tractive feature for intended settlers.
The addresses and discussions were
practical and to the point. The pro-
gram was we'll carried out. During the
whole meeting one was imbued with a
sense of the Importance of this sort of
work. Mr.. Mackin, our popular and
efficient county superintendent of
schools, struck the key note by saying
that the purpose Of Sunday school work
was: LIST salvation, End culture. Rev.
Barstow gave an excellent address on
'The Child and the Church"
The final address by Revs. Iverson
and F. Cooksley were stirring.
One cannot attend such conventions
as these without being impressed with
the success of Sunday school work.
They furnish the Christian workers, the
preachers, the home makers and the
best citizens of the country.
Rev. F. Cooksley was reelected
president.
The next meeting will be held at
Ladysmith next May.
The Bruce people kindly furnished
entertainment. The weather was cold.
Many neglected to supply themselves
with adequate clothing. Rev. H. F.
supplied himself with an umbrella.

Post Office at MarteII'S.

A petition has been circulated ad,
dressed to the postal authorities at
Washington, praying for the establish
ment of new post office at Martells :;
the terminus of the lone and Eastern
railroad. 1t sets forth that it would
be great convenience to the numer-
GUS residents of that locality, and
would enable them to get their mail
more than one hour sooner than under
the existing arrangement. The petit
lion had over sixty signatures.
Martell's is about two miles from
jackson, the minimum distance
between postotfices. The conven-
ience would be appreciated by the
Oneida mine folks especially. and
probably many from Kennedy fiat
would get their mail at that point,
being nearer. The petition will be
forwarded to Washington at once. 1t
asks for the appointment of Mrs.
Fallon as postmistress, and the office,
If the petition is granted, will be
close to the MarteII residence.

THE WHEEL ORDINANCE.

Editor Ledger-At the last meeting
of the Board of Supervisors an ordi-
nance was unanimously passed max
ing it misdemeanor to tie or chain
wheel upon any public road so that
the wheel will drag on the road.
Presumably the supervisors in con-
sidering the abvisability of passing
such an ordinance viewed the matter
from only one side, and that a rather
insignificant side.
No doubt they thought by such an
ordinance to prevent much wear and
destruction of roads. But, IN the
first place, how many miles of public
thoroughfare in Amador county have
right to be called roads? In the
second place, is the life of the road
of greater Importance than the lives
of teamsters and teams and the pre-
servation of wagons and freight and
passengers? And the question arises :
If person who obeys the ordinance
is injured either in mis- own person
or in the property in his charge,
through not locking a wheel, would
not the county be liable for damages?
Would it not be necessary that all
roads affected by such ordinance be
put into such condition that no lock-
ing of wheels would be necessary in
travelling over them, before such an
ordinance could be made to hold in
law?
Are there not enough accidents in
the mines of Amador county? Must
the supervisors devise means to make
the business of our teamstels even
more death dealing than that of our
underground miners? What one of
the supervisors would dare to haul
load of any heavy farm produce
down either Waters hill or Fillmore
hill without setting his brake so
hard that wheel would drag? What
one then would have the temerity.
to haul load of heavy freight down
Sutter hill, or any of the other hills
that are even worse, without a rough
lock of some sort?
What right have five men to pass an
ordinance which, if obeyed, would en-
danger the lives and property of at
least five hundred men? All the ma
terial for the construction of good
roads is here in abundance. and at
a mere nominal figure. Yet every
year the road work is done in the
old slipshod method or lack of
method. Would it not be a good
thing if the supervisors would let
the road work to the lowest bidder,
the contractor to furnish bonds that
the work would meet the requirements
demanded or specified? AS it is one
can see no improvement from year to
year? That is not progress. We will
remain backwoods county just as
long as our roads remain as they are
whole sections of the county cut off
entirely from the county seat during
winter just for lack of roads and a
bridge. Mrs. r. E. Horton.

REPORTERS FEES.

The suit brought by E. Pipher,
the official reporter who took the
testimony in the criminal cases OF
People VS. Staples, and People VS. Bad
araco, tried in the superior court last
June, brings into strong relief the
heavy cost of litigation under the
existing methods of doing business III
courts of record. Years ago it was
customary for the presiding judge to
take notes of the testimony on mater
iaI points, and from these, and notes
taken by the attorneys, the transcript
or appeal was settled. This was
customary in both civil and criminal
cases, except in murder trials, which
required the services of stenograph-
er.
Now it has become the rule to have
an official shorthand reporter fol
every contested case, whether civil OF
ciminal. And while the fees which
go into the treasury from the civil
litigants have been wilted to almost
nothing, the fees allowed to be
charged by official reporters are sc
enormous as to cause a man to pause
and reckon the cost before seeking
redress through the courts OF justice
1t is common remark that 1t is
better to forego the collection of a
debt under ordinary circumstances,
than to resort to law, no matter how
just the claim or how clear a case
can be made out. The winner is a
loser any way.
In criminal cases the same com
plant is made. Crime must be
punished still the cost entailed by a
criminal trial is getting to be so
heavy that it is hardly to be wonder
ed at that strenuous efforts are usually
made to avoid expense by compromis-
ing on lesser offense than the one
actually committed. A few important
criminal trials would eat up large
proportion of the county's revenue in
the course of the year. lake the
Satples case for instance. We are not
in possession of the exact figures
showing of the cost of that trial, but
it is safe to say that it was between
$4,000 and $1,000. 1t occupied two
weeks, and for reporting and tran
scribing the testimony the bill pre-
sented was over S1100. For three
weeks work, the reported bill for two
cases, was something like $1,000.
Whether this was in keeping with the
customary rates paid for such WORK
we do not know. But few will deny
that it is far too much for any one
man to be permitted to earn at such
occupation. 1t is at the rate of
$4,000 per year. And for mechanical
work that is outrageously excessive.
1t is time that laws were framed to
regulate reportes' charges on a more
reasonable basis. Between attorneys
fees and reporters charges citizens
shrink from asserting their rights in
the courts.

School Books Must Be
Purchased From State.

Thomas j. Kirk, state superinten-
dent of schools, has sent out cir
cular warning all public school
authorities against the purchase of
school text books other than those
of the state series, and accompanies
his warning with the statement that
he will not hesitate to discharge his
duty, as defined by law, in withhold
ing state school money from any
school district, county or city that so
ofends.
Parents will do we'll to note
whether the books purchased by their
children for use hereafter are marked
estate Series. :" Teachers will be
obliged, under Mr.. Kinks ruling, to
refuse to recognise any except those
gotten out by the state board The
supertendent has specific instructions
from the attorney general in regard
to how to proceed in the matter.
Mr.. Kinks circular implies that in
some schools the law has been violated
in another way. Teachers have re-
quired pnpils to purchase books
different from those of the state
series; for example, the State Arith-
metic has been discarded and the
Rational Arithmetic or some other
substituted at the pleasure of the
teacher. This is unlawful,
