The Dry Weather.

The holding off the rainy season,
should it continue for a week or two
more, is likely to be attended with
serious consequences. There is now
talk that the mills hereabouts de-
pending upon water as the motive
power, Will be compelled to shut
down for lack of water, if copious
rains do not Ieplenish the supply
within the next few days. Last year
up to this date, we had A. II inches of
ram; this season we have had less
than quarter of an inch. 1t is one
of the dIiest seasons on record so far.
Furthermore, it has been a remark
able dry summer in the high sierras.
The cattle men have been driven out
at a usually early date, not so much
by the advent of snow and frost, as
by the failure of springs and feed.
Streams never known to run dry
before, have become dead this year.
The same conditions exist in other
counties in regard to water for mining
purposes. In Nevada countyt he water
famine is likely to cause a stoppage
of mining operations within the next
few days.

The Tax Rate

We publish on our outside page
list of the counties in the states. with
the assessed value of property and
the rate of taxation in each for the
current year. The figures are taken
from the state controllers record lust
issued. These annual statements are
very interesting, affording an oppor-
tunlty to taxpayers to compare their
lot with that of Others in different
portions of the state. There are
twenty-one counties tree of floating
on bonded Indebtedness. These are
Amador, CaIaveras, Colusa, Fresno.
Lassen, MADEIRA, Marin, Modoc.
Mono, Napa, Nevada, San Bernardino.
Santa arbaIa, Sierra, Sutter. TuIa1e.
Tuolumne, Ventura, Yolo and Yuba.
There are eleven counties with a
smaller assessment roll than Amador
Eighteen counties with a heavier
taX-rate, eight counties with the same
tax-rate of 81 on the 500, and % with
smaller tax levy. Yuba county is
entitled to the distinction of having
the highest ax-rate ID the state. 81 80
on 500; and Yolo, Sutter, Modoc
and Contra Costa with the lowest,
sl.55. The most surprising fact dis
closed by the document is that Alpine
county, with less than 100 taxpayers
on its assessment roll, and less than
half million of taxable wealth. and
burdened with a floating debt OF
Sl3, 703. 70 is able to sustain its
government with one of the smallest
levies in the state-Sl. 60. In this
connection it may be noted that
Alpine is the only county without a
newspaper, without telegraph. tele-
phone, or railroad facilities. 1t
stands isolated. In srite of all these
drawbacks it affords the most striking
example of economical government in
the state of California to-day.

An Expert Player.

A correspondent at Stanford Un.
iversity writes us concerning Jack,
son young man in that college as
follows:
After his brilliant showing in the
Stanford Nevada game, Albert Molfino
better known to his college friends
as 'Amador AL" has the position as
center on the Stanford Varsity foot
bali team conceded to him.
In the preliminary games played by
Stanford, this $50 pound center never
met his equal, although in every in
stance he was greatly out-weighed by
his opponent. Throughout the whole
season MoIhno's line smashing, hard
tackling and running down on points,
shows him to be one of the most con-
sistent players on the squad. Thurs
day evening he will make the trip to
Los Angeles with the cardinal team
to play against the Sherman Indians,
next Saturday. The big intercolIegi-
ate game will take place on the new
athletic field, Stanford University,
on Nov. IL,

Diphtheria.

There are two cases of this disease
in Jackson. Blanche the youngest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E.
Oliver. who live on the Hamilton
tract, is the latest case reported,
Thursday evening. 1t Is severe case,
and the child is of very tender age.
a trained nurse has been sent for
from the city, and the afflicted
household quarantined. The pre-
sence of this terrible disease is de-
plorable, but there Is really little
cause for undue alarm over the sit
uation. How the disease was brought
here is a matter of conjecture. 1t is
we'll known that it has been pre-
valent in Sacramento and other valley
cities for several months, and many
think that the germs were brought
here from the the capital city by the
influx OF people from this county tc
attend the celebration of admission
day on the 9th of last month.

State Aid for Orphans.

The law authorizing aid to be given
by the board of supervisors for half
orphans, and orphans in their re-
spective counties, which sums are
paid from the county treasury and re-
imbursed every year from the state
treasury, is proving very expens i've
affair. Naturally the supervisors are
not so eXacting as they would be if
the money so spent came directly and
finally from the county treasury. As
1T is the state treasury that foots
these bills, the same old argument.
that the more help in the way of
cash the county gets from the state
the better, is alI-powerful. As the
same argument is equally potent in
every county in the state, the out
come is just the same practically, as
though every county was made to
support its own orphans, and half
orphans, except that less care is ex-
cerised in the granting of the relief
prayed for.
From the record in the clerks office
we find the following are receiving
aid in Amador county under this
law, the sums mentioned being paid
monthly:

liberal offer was ever before made by
newspaper in this county. Unusual
interest is centered IN this contest,
and the interest intensites as the
decisive day draws nigh. All through
the race between the two leading
candidates has been most exciting,
now one now the other forging ahead.
This weak another change has occurr-
ed, Lewis Love having made big
addition to his score of nearly 400C

slender margin in his favor. The
