ley, but that will be opposed by those
who favor giving the valley back to
the federal government.
The managers of the Soldiers Home
at Yountville are trying to arrange to
give that institution to the federal gov
ernment also, but it is a question
whether the Washington authorities
will want to run two homes in one
state, and they now have an immense
place at Santa Monica.
If the state gets rid of the valley and
the home it should be able to save a
large sum of money to help pay the
school teachers, or for some other use
full purpose. The home will be better
off, and the park will be on the same
footing as the Yellowstone Park in
Montana.
The governor in his message recon-
mended that the girls school at Whit
tier be abolished, as the work of re-
forming the girls sent there was not a
success, and he suggested that the girls
be sent to benevolent institutions at
state cost, as is done with orphans.
Such plan would be large saving OF
money also, and would no doubt be an
improvement in present conditions for
the girls.

The Railroad.

The lone and Eastern Railroad Com
pany have been experiencing consider
able trouble with the locomotive re-
ceived from the east some time ago.
1t was bought on trial. 1t is claimed
that on the way from San Francisco to
lone it was run at too high pressure,
resulting in collapse at Lodi. 1t had
to be sent back to San Francisco for
repairs, and was received in lone a
couple of weeks ago ready for business
as it was thought. A trial, however,
soon demonstrated that it was far from
being in working order. After mon
keying with it for over a week trying
to patch it up, the Undertaking was
abandoned by the local tinkers and the
engine returned to San Francisco for
thorough repair. 1t will cost $1,000 to
put it in working order and there is a
nice chance for the lawyers to get in
before the matter is adjusted, as the
matter of sponsibility is badly mixed
between the original makers. the South
ern Pacific, the contractors of the new
road, Erickson and Peterson, and the
lone and Eastern Railroad Company.
However, the large locomotive is on
the way from the east for the use of
the company, and is expected to reach
lone any day. When this arrives the
track laying will be resumed, and
pushed ahead as fast as possible. The
graders have got through with their
work as far as Mountain Springs, and
strong force is now operating in the
neighborhood of Cyclone station.

Loss for latter period ..... S10750 As
From this it will be seen that from
this fee question alone the county
has sustained an average loss of
$5325 per year. Confronted with
such facts is it a matter of wonder
ment that property taxes have been
on the upgrade. We have to raise
much more money now to keep the
machinery of government going than
we did 20 years ago. Therefore rev.
enue shriveled up in one direction
must be more than made up in an
other. The real and personal prop
erty is called upon to make up the
deficiency. And let it be remem-
bered that to provide for this short
age alone tax of 10 cents on every
500 of assessable property is neces-
sary on the basis of the assessment
roll of last year.
1t will be asked, WHAT'S the mean
ing of this shrinkage? Does 1t mean
that the business of these offices is
falling off? Not at all. There is
more work done in these latter days
demanding the payment of fees than
was done in by-gone years. But the
disgraceful truth must be told, that
the fee schedules have been so
manipulated in the interest of law
yers and political hangers that
the revenue has dwindled to the
mere ghost of former years. The
history of this crucifixion of our fee
system, and the motives underlying
the cuttingdown process, would
form an interesting, and at the same
time a shameful chapter in Amador
county annals. Property owners are
paying, as the outcome of this vicious
system, the expenses of civil litiga-
tion; also the cost of probating es
tates that are well able to pay for
the official time consumed in their

ATTORNEY PUTS UP $500 AND A
WOMAN EXPRESSES WISH
TO HELP.
HOCH NEVER GAVE UP HOPE
WAS OVERLOOKED WHEN NOTi-
FLED THAT STAY HAD BEEN
GRANTED.

Chicago. July 80. - Johann Hoch,
"Bluebear6" and confessed bigamist,
ser'cnced TO be hanged yesterday for
poisoning one of his wives, was yes
terday afternoon granted reprieve
until Aug. 25 by Gov. Deneen. The
stay of execution followed hours of
anxiety on the part of Hoch, who had
never given up hope, and was allowed
by the governor only after the latter
had been assured that the necessary
sum to appeal the case had been
raised. The amount, $500, was given
by an attorney and friend of Hoch's
counsel The attorney declared he.
was actuated purely by humanitarian
motives.
An incident at the Jail during the
preparation for the execution was the
appearance of a physician and a wo-
man who told Jailer Whitman that
they wanted to
Help in Hoch's Battle
for life. They said they wished to
raise funds for the condemned man
and asked Jailer Whitman to delay the.
hanging as long as possible. Hoch's
attorney. however, had already been in
communication with the authorities
respecting the stay of sentence.
All arrangements had been made
for the execution yesterday, and in
view of the action of Gov. Deneen
Thursday in refusing a stay of execu-
ton and similar action by the state
board of pardons, Hoch's chances for
life were considered slight.
Hoch, even several hours before the
time set for the hanging. was quite
confident of executive clemency, al
though at times he seemed to despair
of receiving reprieve.
Meanwhile, unknown to Hoch, the
negotiations for the reprieve were
progressing. 1t was noon and the de-
lay up to this time
Inspired Hoch
with renewed hope. He ate dinner,
smoked cigar and read. Half an hour
later he received the news of his re-
prieve. He declared that he was the
happiest man alive. The crowd about
the Jail sent up shout that was heard
for blocks. The prisoners joined in
the demonstration and Hoch was al
most overcome. Hoch said:
IF the supreme court decides
against me | am willing TO die. | ask
no mercy and 10 favor. l believe in
the law, but feel that if the supreme
court has a chance to review the
case it will result favorably to me-
Hoch's attorney announced that he
would at once prepare tC appeal the
case.
