Washington, d. c., Oct. 16.-Not to

of the horseless carriage to the needs
of the army, and abreast of the expert
ments which have recently been con-
Quoted in various European countries,
at least one American has been at
work in an effort to widen the field
of usefulness of the automobile in war
time. There is on exhibition here this
week a machine constructed entirely
of steel, except for the solid rubber
tires, and surmounted by a slender,
though none the less effective and
modern. rapid fire gun.
Radical Departure.
In perfecting his adaptation of this
now familiar vehicle to the needs of
the military, the inventor has made a
radical departure from the types which
have of late been tried in Germany and
Austria, for instance, in that he has
made no provision in the way of
armor for the protection of the chauf-
feur, the gunner, and assistant gunner.
However, this lessening of the total
weight will give him much greater
speed, and in other ways his car is
even stronger and better fitted to
withstand the rough service than those
put forward across the pond.
Seems to Solve Problem.
Until very recently American and
English inventors have confined their
efforts to providing an easy-riding auto
ambulance, but this last invention

ton of securing a safe and rapid

Serious Accident.

A sad accident befelI T. j.. Sey-
mour while working at the Kennedy
mine last Tuesday afternoon. He was
engaged in lifting timbers, and putt
ing them in place. He had taken
every precaution to remove all wires
that were attached to the boards, and
other things that might cause trouble.
But somehow he overlooked one
strand of wire. In throwing one of
the timbers on the pile the wire flew
back, and struck him in the right
eye cutting the eyeball nearly
through. A doctor was summoned,
and everything possible done for his
relief. 1t is considered a grave case
as far as the sight OF the eye is con-
cerned. What makes the matter still
worse the sight of his left eye has
been badly affected by rheumatism,
so that he can barely see out of it.
The doctor cannot tell yet whether
the sight of the rigth eye will be
permanently affected or not.

Ownership of Waterways.

The incorporation of jackson, and
the fact that a large mileage of the
three branches of jackson creek falls
within the limits of the newly or
ganized city, brings into the fore
ground the question of public and
private rights in relation to the creek
beds. 1t is a common idea that all
waterways in the shape of creeks as
we'll as rivers, are public property.
Indeed, the opinion was only few
days ago expressed in a public body
that the idea of paying for right of
way in a creek bed was something
unhaerd of. Many have imagined.
and still imagine, that one effect of
the incorporation of jackson is that
it gives control, and in fact owner
ship of all creek ways within the city
limits. What foundation such a
notion has to rest upon, we are at a
loss to understand. Certainly, it
has no foundation in the plain letter
of the law. All the same, it appears
to be popular deIuslon, and practi
cally acted upon in a measure in
jackson at present. The plain truth
is that incorporation has made not
one particle of difference in this
respect. The city no more controls
OF owns the waterways than did the
county when jackson was controlled
by the board of supervisors. The
board of trustees has no right to arbi
tarily assert authority over the creeks,
outside of such portions thereof as
constitutes part of the public high.
ways or roads. Outside of the road.
ways, every foot OF the creek beds is
private property. The city cannot
claim the right to either invade Oh
make dumping place of creeks, OF
assert right of way over them, any
more than it could over a mans pri
vate garden. At the outset of Jack
sons city life it is we'll to have thi,
point definitely and pointedIy under
stood. To pursue a course of actor
not sustained by law on this vita
proposition may possible cause ;
heap of trouble and expense.

Looking up A Ditch Property.

l.. A. Gross who has in past years
operated mines in Amador county,
having had charge of the Amador
Queen No. 2, and later of the
Centennial, has been in the eastern
portion of Amador looking into
matters connected with the old Nc
Laughlin ditch property and water
right connected Herewith. He repre-
sents eastern people who are looking
for profitable outlets for capital.
The Mclaughlin ditch has in recent
years been allowed to fall into disuse,
but there is no doubt that with the
expenditure of some money it might
be made valuable and paying pro-
perty, opening up fields of industry
which are now either dormant or
totally neglected.
