departure of the Volcano mail stage

ber 1st. 1t is impossible during the

hours later. 70 continue this service

making the trip both ways in the

the rough roads incident to the wet
season. To day the stage will leave

Thanksgiving Ball.

The Social and Athletic Club gave
grand ball in Loves hall on We'd
nesday evening, which was we'll
attended. Bowers orchestra from
Stockton furnished the music, and
this proved quite an attraction, draw
ing number of patrons from outside
towns. These musicians have gained
a reputation in the county, and de-
servedly so. Dancing was continued
until the small hours of the morning.
The financial outcome was Gratifying

Communication.

Editor Amador Ledger. Please b,
kind enough to publish through tht
columns OF your valuable paper, fol
the information of the voters, where
the corners are of the proposed in
corporation, so that we could draw 6
line from one corner to the other and
thereby find out whether we live in
side of the lines or not, and who are
entitled to vote.
was reading the description of
the proposed lines published in the
Amador Dispatch about the south
east corner and the north west half
of Section l., etc. But we want it
shown to us good deal palmer so
that we can understand where we are
living.
There are not ten voters in Jackson
who understand by that description
where the boundary lines are. But
unless all signs fail, 1t does not
matter much where the lines are or
how they run, as it is likely to be
voted down by large majority. l
don't think the property owners are
so foolish as to fasten upon them
selves another set of officers.
| was talking to one of the lawyers
of Amador county, only two weeks
ago, he told me that the law was very
plain, and there was ample law to
govern the townships if the officers
would only do their duty, and put
the laws In force, and not allow filth
to be thrown into our streets to en-
danger the health and lives of our
people. l think the condition of
things is shameful, when we elect
officers and pay them big salaries,
and they swear before they enter
upon the duties of their office that
they will obey and enforce the laws
to the best of their ability.
Now, fellow citizens, only take
one good look at the town and see
lemon peels and slops thrown in the
hiuulO VI Jul Stl00lS, duu Say
whether another set of officers will
help matters. If those officers would
do their duty and stop these and
other unlawful things from going on,
we would never think of incorporat-
ing, whereby our taxes will be in
creased nearly double the present
rates. Think this matter over very
carefully before you cast your votes
and don't be led astray by would be-
office holders and seekers, who will
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose.
The Amador Dispatch said III its
last issue that if the town is incorpor-
ated the fist thing that ought to
be done is to get the town surveyed /
and the lots blocked off. That would |
cost from $1,000 to $500 to begin
with. So you had better be very
careful how you vote.
Yours respectfully.

Yours respectfully.
A TaxDaver

We are unable to answer the ques-
tion concerning the boundary lines.
1t would require an official survey to
determine the matter. Such a survey
ought to have been made at the out
set of the incorporation movement.
The idea of running on government
lines simply to avoid the expense of
special survey Is the greatest mis-
take made in the whole affair. A
proper survey of strictly residence
districts, drawing the lines as closely
as possible to the thickly settled
territory, would have saved the city
government the cost of the original
survey many times over every year.

In connection with the granting Of
liquor licenses for the year 1905 there
has been considerable complaint from
some of the proprietors of saloons.
One of the grievances is that the
city council will permit parties to es-
Aablish saloons and conduct them dur
ling the hot summer months or what
ia known as the beer season." and
viii permit them to pay license for
the time only that these saloons are
conducted. They claim, and Justly 1t
appears, that these parties are allow
ed to take advantage of a season
when trade is good. while the regular
ly conducted saloons must pay license
for and conduct their places during
both dull and prosperous seasons
There is a law against granting Ii.

and it is said that some of the saloon

At o recent session of the county
commissioners il was decided not to
grant licenses for period of lees
