The Tax Levy

The supervisors have fixed the tax
rate for state and county purposes
for the ensuing year at 81. 10 on each
800. This is ten cents increase over
the rate of last year. This increase
represents the 10 cents special road
tax for improving the main thorough
fares, making the total tax for road
purposes 46 cents. This is a higher
rate than has been levied for some
years. 1t must be understood that
the territory included within the
cooperate limits of jackson is exempt
for the operation of the county road
taxes, both general and special. For
the city of jackson, therefore, the
state and county tax rate Is S1.66. Tc
this must be added 10 cents for Jack
son school bonds redemption fund,
and So cents levied by the city trus
tees for city purposes, making total
tax of 81. 81. This is an increase Of
81 cents over the tax rate last yeal
for the property holders of jackson
When the difference in the state tax
is taken into consideration, the in
crease is raised to nearly % cents.

Get Registered.

Only five days remain in which to
get registered. You must have your
name enrolled upon the new great
register of Amador county on or be-
fore September 26. or you cannot
vote at the approaching election.
Wednesday next is therefore the last
day for attending to this important
matter. Every republican voter must
realize the urgency of making a
decided change in the conduct of
county affairs. A good democrat
also recognizes the necessity for a
change. See that you are on the
voting line. That is the first practi-
cal step in the direction of reform.
DO not neglect it any longer. In
qulre if your friends and neighbors
have registered, and if they have not
urge this duty upon them. Every
good citizen should make an effort
to vote this year, as the time, and
the opportunity to mend matters
should not be overlooked.

Dwelling Burned.

The dwelling house of Robert Ellis,
on Jackson creek, about four miles
south of this city was utterly de-
stroyed by fire, with all contents,
early yesterday morning. There was
no one in the place at the time the
fire started. Mr. Ellis and the two
employees had started from the house
shortly after O'Clock. Some time
thereafter, George Ellis, a brother,
happend along and saw the smoke in
the direction of the dwelling, and
fastened to the scene. The flames
had got such a start, that it was
impossible to save anything. The
house and all the furniture and cloth
ing were total loss. The walls we're
of stone, and they are badly cracked
and damaged by the fierce heat. The
large barns near by, and other
outbuildings we're saved. There
was an insurance of 1850 on the pro-
perty destroyed, but this will not
begin to cover the loss. The house
had four rooms, and was a sub
stantialIy built and comfortably
furnished home.

State Politics.

Never in the history of the state
was the political field so mixed and
uncertain as in the present campaign.
There are now five tickets in the field,
with one or two mole pending. The
republicans have big majority to go
on. The Roosevelt vote of two years
ago cannot be considered fair cri-
terion to go by. There was an abnor-
lnally heavy vote cast for the head of
the ticket that year. Still on a
straight issue between the two great
parties, the republicans would GER
tainly have margin of 90, 900 in their
favor. This under ordinary condi-
tions would be ample to pull the
whole ticket through to victory. The
multiplicity of party tickets, should
help rather than hurt the republicans.
The socialists independent league,
and labor parties moreover tend to
draw more votes from the democrats
than republicans. The pivotal point
of this canvass is the action of the
union labor party. Pressure is being
brought to bear upon them from both
sides. They can hardly be expected
to indorse Gillett, but the republic
ans want them to do next best thing
for their candidate, namely, to put
up a candidate of their own. One
wing of the laborites-wouId like tC
indoIse Bell, the straightout demo
cratic nominee, or leave the place
vacant, which would practically
amount to the same thing. They are
not inclined to indorse Langdon
who was evidently thrust into the
field expecting to be Endorsed no
only by the laborites, but also by the
regular democracy. The situation il
wonderfully mixed, and party Iinei
are broken up in state affairs as the!
have never been before.
The selection of W. EngIebright

gress in this district, is wise one

Democratic candidates are pulling
every string within reach III their
overpowering desire to be elected.
They try to pull strings that are far
beyond their reach also. They are
handicapped in their fact that the
ticket is composed almost exclusively
of chronic office holders, and Office
seekers. This in itself is burden
Of no light proportions. The feeling
is strong to put an end to the reign
ing clique. The people outside have
but faint idea of the influence OF
this ring to perpetuate themselves in

of the taxpayers to break the COM
bination, sand we believe the voters
are full aware for this, and will vote
accordingly.

The democratic convention has con-
ferred the distinction for making
the running for state senator in this
district upon A. Caminetti of Jack
son. Caminetti has always proved a
good vote getter, especially in his
own county. He has a republican
majority of 500 to overcome in the
five counties-namely, Ell Dorado,
Amador, Calaveras, Alpine and Mono.
1t is an uphill fight, but the democracy
concluded that if any one could pull
through it was CaminettI.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
COMES TO NAUGHT
WoULD-BE BURGLARS FoiLED BY
A BROKEN LOCK AND BARS
OVER THE WINDOWS-NO GLUE
TO PERPETRATORS

AS yet neither the police nor Mori
d Azario, the proprietors, have been
able to get clue to the identity Of
the party or parties who attempted
to burglarize their store on North
Third street night before last, and
nave about given up the attempt, al
thought 1t is thought that some Of
the natives who have been loafing
around that portion OF the town for
some time past without visible means
of support are the guilty parties.
The would-be burglars apparently
first tried the back door as means
of entrance, as a hole, large enough
to permit the slipping in OF a hand,
was cut in the door. A spring lock
was on the rear door and the fact that
it was broken and could not be turned
was the only thing that kept the
thieves out The knob had been
broken off the lock, which made 1t a
very difficult matter to secure a hold
ON it, and in addition to this the lock
itself was so out of order as to be
unturnable.
They next tried the window. After
breaking pane of glass in the rear
window the thieves discovered the
iron bars which are across the
windows on the inside, and not be-
ing able to get them off, evidently
gave up the job in disgust, as these
two attempts were all that were made
or at least only the evidence of these
two attempts at entrance remains.

present, to be confined to line officers,

under the law are officers of the corps

OF course, if Peary, who is civil en-
gineer in the navy should be heard
from later in the year as having
reached the north pole, perhaps the
question would be settled by his ap-
pointment, although his Arctic
achievements would probably place
him sufficiently in demand as a lee
turer to make bureau cheiftainship
appear tame, uninteresting and un-
profitable. The situation has led to
the mention of a number of prominent
line officers for the place, to succeed
Rear Admiral NJ. T. Endicott as head
OF the corps of civil engineers. and
who retires for age in November.
Among those mentioned in this con
nection are Captain Il. II. c. Leutze,

INTERESTING FIND
NEAR CAIRO, EGYPT

Boston, Mass, May 1S.-The Rev.
DR.. William Copley Winslow, a noted
archaeologist of this city, has re-
ceived an extensive communication
from Prof Flinders Petrie, the well
known Psychologist, containing some
highly interesting details of his re-
cent discoveries near Cairo, Egypt
According to the statements of Prof.
Petrie, he has discovered the remains
of the Temple of Onias, at Tel-Eh-
Yahu-dieh, eighteen miles north of
Cairo, and he has brought TO light
evidence of the presence of the Hyk-
sos, or Shepherd Kings, in the Delta,
thereby solving an interesting puzzle
on this point. Prof Petrie also states
that he has, in all probability, identi-
fed the treasure city of Rameses,
built by the Israelites in bondage,
thousands of years before the time of
Christ. The construction of the city
is referred to in the first chapter of
the Book OF Exodus.
The mounds of Tel-El Yahu-dieh
were visited and described in 1926 by
Linant, the French engineer and ex-
plorer. Subsequently Greville Ches-
ter, Hayter Lewis, Brugsch Bay, and
others, examined or excavated the
site. In 1887, for the Egypt Explora-
tion Fund, Prof. Naville made determ-
ined efforts to disclose the secrets of
the mounds, but did not succeed.
Prof. Petrie, in his communication
to Dr. Winslow, says: Our discov-
cry of the actual town and temple
site of Onias is beyond a doubt. II
is very clear case of all the known
requirements being satisfied as TO the
date, place, conditions and buildings
Besides the temple site and city, we
have a remarkable historical subject
here in clearing the Hyksos ceme
terry and the great fort of the HyksOs
The tombs contain scarabs of the
Hyksos, and we have got at this place
scarabs of Khyan, Apepi IL, and
Skhanra, who were probably all Hyk
sos"

SAND0VAL COUNTY
DISTRICT COURT
FELIX 6usTos SENTENCED TO
ONE YEAR IN THE PENlTEN-
TIARY FOR SODOMY.

Sandoval county district court clos
ed last night, and Judge Abbott and
the court attaches, with the struggling
of attorneys that have been going to
Bernalillo daily, returned to the city
last night, and today are again to be
found in their accustomed places;
Judge Abbott in his comfortable
chambers at the court house and the
attorneys in their Offices.
well, I'm mighty glad that Sando-
val court is over. One grows mighty
tired getting up before o'clock morn
ings to make a train to go to Berna
lilo TO transact ten minutes business,
and then hang around a dusty railway
station till night, with time hanging
heavy on your hands, waiting for a
train that brings you home after sup
per time. All this, too, when one has
loads of business piling up in the
Office. | guess Judge Abbott had a
real taste of what it used to be to
hold court in New Mexico in pioneer
days The people of Sandoval county
are more primitive than in any other
county in the territory, and the juries
drawn there are almost completely
made up Of natives"
This was the voluntary statement of
-an attorney who had been so unfor-
tunate as to have had to attend the
Sandoyal court on several different
occasions during the late session.
The most important work accom-
plished at the closing days session
was the sentencing of Felix Bustos TO
one year in the penitentiary. Buhtos
was found guilty of sodomy.

CITY COUNCIL IN
A BAD CONTRACT
WHEN 1T ENGAGED ONE FAR
RELL TO NUMBER CITY'S
HOUSES-KICkS STILL BEING
REGISTERED AGAINST THE
WORK.

Another vigorous kick is being reg
istered against the manner in which
the city, at the instructions of the
city council, was remembered by a
man named Farrell. who secured the
contract from the council for num-
bering the houses, and whose lax
methods and the irregular manner in
which the work was done by Farrell
was exploited and called TO the at
tention of the public through the col
umns of The Evening Citizen at the
time
Postmaster Hopkins is the one who
now finds that Farrell's work has
made trouble for his carrier force.
The houses are not numbered cor
rectly, says Postmaster Hopkins,
some street houses being numbered
on avenues, and vice versa, and in
some instances numbered on both.
Some houses in one block bear the
same numbers, the numbers do not
run in regular order, and altogether,
it would take a hierogiyphic reader to
be able to find an address unless
knowing where it was before reading
ii upon an envelope.
Farrell, who later skipped the city,
leaving several unpaid bills behind,
made such a mess of it that 1t is more
than likely that the city council will
have to order the work done all over
again, and in the event that they do,
il is to be hoped that they will let
the contract to some responsible and
trustworthy person who at least has
brains enough to number houses cor
rectly without cvgrcharging the occu-
pants, as did the last contractor
