After Portion of Public Land Sales,

The Outdoor Art League depart
ment of California Club has issued
an appeal urging that California be
placed upon an equal footing with
other public land states which have
received a per cent of the net pro-
ceeds of the cash sales of public
lands within their territories. 1t IS
contended that when California was
admitted to the union in 1850 she
surrendered certain concession and
was promised in return grant of five
five cent of the net proceeds OF the
cash sales within the State. 1t is
claimed that she has failed to receive
this percentage. and the people of
California are urged to united action
to secure this long deferred benefit,
by requesting congress to pass the
necessary legislation to that end.
The money so derived to be funded
for the benefit of the common schools
including a state school of forestry.
If the facts are as stated in the cir
cuIar, there seems no valid reason why
congress should not heed the request,
and terminate at the earliest poss-
ible moment this long period of In
Justice to the state. AS it is now and
has been for many years, every 10th
and 36th section has been granted to
the state, and set apart of the benefit
of the schools. This is in accordance
with the grant of 500, 600 acres by the
general government to the state of
California. Whether this grant was
in lieu of the per centum of the
cash sales by the United States
referred to as part of the compact
made upon the admission of CALI
fornia into the Union we do not
know. The merits of this claim for
further aid from the federal govern
ment depends upon this point.

Why No Increase.

1t is matter of surprise that ANA
dor conuty's population does not
increase in proportion to other por-
tions of the state. California is gain
ing in population at rapid rate, but
Amador remains about stationary.
That it is one of the most desirable
spots in the Gland of sunshine, fruits
and flowers" as regards climate and
other natural advantages for home
making there is no question. Still
they do not come. We have actually
less people to-day in the county
than there was tweny years ago.
The county seems out of the line
of emigrant travel. Few intending
settlers turn their faces thitherward
to view the good land, for the pur-
pose of judging of it's attra ctiveness.
1t is undeniably tIue, that Amador
could support, and support we'll, with
her varied agricultural and mineral
resources, a much larger population
than she now has, or has ever had.
Our mineral resources are great, still
they are not sufficient to justify ex-
pectations of a large increase of
people. The present output and en-
ployment furnished by our mines can
and viii undoubtly be maintained for
many years to come. This is a
logical deduction from past history.
Some mines will fail, and drop from
the ranks of producers and employers
of labor, but others may be expected
to forge to the front to take their
places. 1t is the development of other
sources of wealth besides gold mining
that Amador must look for advance
ment. There is one thing that ANA
dor county furnishes a striking con-
trast to other section. We have made
no organized, and very little indi-
vidual effort to reach the stream OF
home seekers. We have no literature
to distribute. Immigration is gov
erned pretty much by the same laws
that are applicable to private busi-
ness. If a man wants business, be
must go after it, mot merely sit with
folded hands and wait for its coming.
So with immigrants. The sections Of
e alifornia that have gained wealth
and population most rapidly have
made persistent and organized efforts
to that end. An intending settler
reaching the southern part of the
state is told that there is little or no
thing to entice the homeseeker nortt
OF Tehatcapi pass. And so far al
Amador is concerned we have made
no attempt to Offset such damaging
and untruthful statements.
This backwardness is brought strik
ingly to the fore occasionally. A few
days ago we received a letter of in
quiry from a gentleman in Southern
California, asking for information
concerning this county. He wantec
statistics and any literature obtain
able on the subject. Here was evi
IDENTIFY one on the lookout for a home
place. And the lamentable fact was
that we had nothing to send. Nc
pamphlet of any kind has been pub
lished for this purpose; not SCRAP
setting out our attractions was al
hand to send him. This is depIor-
able. 1t ought to be remedied
should have been remedied years
ago. We can donate funds to help
along semi-public demonstra tions
which amount to nothing in getting
people here, but when it comes to the
earnest seeker after information we
are absolutely without means to en-
Tighten him as to the conditions in
Amador county.

Accident at Single Springs.

On Friady evening, George Boarman
OF Canyon lost his right foot by gett-
Ing it under the train at Shipgle
Springs. He was trying to board the
train for Placerville while it was NOV
Ing and stepped so that his foot went
under the wheels which completely
crushed it below the instep. He was
brought to Placerville and given tenn
porary treatment at the Sanatarium
to stop the flow of blood and then
removed to the hospital. His foot
was amputated on Monday by DR..
Rantz and his recovery is somewhat
uncertain owing to loss blood and
weakness. He Is the son of the late
DIR. Boarman of Amador county,
Ell Dorado Republican.
The victim is brother of Mrs E.
Il. Harrington and Miss Emma Boar
man of jackson. He was born and
raised in this town. 1t was thought
at first that the heel could be saved,
but the latest reports seem to hold
out little hope in that way. He is
doing as we'll as-could be expected.

Hearing Partially Lost.

A curious experience befell F. b.
LeMoin, superintendent of the county
hospital, on Saturday last. On gett-
Ing up that morning he was not feel
ing very we'll. Soon he was taken
with vomiting spell, and thereafter
lost completely the sense of hearing
in the left ear. The strain OF the fiji
of vomiting is believed to have
ruptured the drum of the ear. The
right ear is not afflicted so much,
but it is difficult for him to heal
ordinary conversation. LeMoin has
had bandage over the disbabled cal
since. 1t is hoped that the hearing is
not permanently impaired, but that
can only be determined by the lapse
of time.

The publication of the list of pro-
perty decided to the state, and remain
ing uncanceled on the county records,
through the columns of the Ledger,
has created not little stir throug-
out the county. The list embraces
all the property decided to the state
under the existing tax law, which
remains un-redeemed. Inquiries are
pouring into the tax collectors and
clerks offices on this subject, and
the result of the publication will be
the means of clearing many title, as
we'll as bringing in considerable
revenue for the county for redemp-
tions, and thereby restore a lot of

The fire and burglar proof safe
belonging to Ii. E. Potter, of Ply
mouth, and formerly used in the
business of the Plymouth Consolidated
mine, when that property was in its
bonanza days, was brought to Jack
son yesterday to be repaired at the
machine works of Garbarini Bros. 1t
seems that the combination got out
of order, and finally, when the safe
was locked, refused to work al
together. Jos. Garbarini was called
to Plymouth to fix it. He had to take
out the entire backing before he
could get to the combination, and it
took fourteen hours with assistants,
to accomplish this task. 1t is a first
class safe. 1t was found that a small
piece of the combination was broken,
which gave birth to all the trouble.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Ct every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when 1t was simple indiges-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails Of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach. putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of

TOOL NATURE FURNISHES.
How Teasels Rre Used in the Furnish
ing Of Fine Clothes.

ing Of Fine Clothes.
Growing by the wayside you will
often see that stately, spinylooking
plant, the teasel, but wonder how
many know that it has helped to finish
many piece of cloth they wear.
We are apt to think of tool as
something of mans make yet here Is
one of natures own, and nothing has
ever been manufactured to successfully
take its place. For ages the teasel has
been used for fulling cloth, that is,
raising the map" and the manu-
facturers refer to nap goods" thus
treated as 'gigged.
When ripe the dried spike heads are
altered, packed carefully in bundles
and shipped in all directions to
factories. The variety mostly used
have the extreme and Of spikes hooked
or curved backward. This Is called
fullers. These heads form sort Of
brush and are attached to wheel or
cylinder which revoles against the sur
face of the cloth, and these curved
spikes catch part of the threads and
pull them up, making a fuzzy nap This
is trimmed down and leaves that soft,
velvety finish to the cloth
The spikes have strength enough and
elasticity, but when they come IN con-
tract with rough place in the cloth
they break, and so avoid tearing the
material Try as they may, no one has
ever been able to invent a tool possess
ing all of these qualities, SO the teasel,
stands unrivalled for that use. The
, plant as we see it growing wild loks,
perhaps, at first glance somewhat like
thistle but it really hasa dignity and
character all it's own.
The heads in flower are covered with
fluffy down, lavender or white, and
as the blossoms drop the spikes appear,
pntil little later 1t fairly br4stles. The
leaves pointed and spiked, shooting out
each side of the stem meet at base and
form little basin in which is usually
water. So we have the name of the

ENGLANn LABoR pARTY.

What will be the Parliamentary
status of the new party? Like the
Irishman, it will have no immediate
mechanical power of turning out the
government. 1t has no reason to prac-
tise wrecking tactics. Such a plan is
condemned by the capital example Of
NJ Jaures, the most illustrlous modern
exponent of the doctrine of opportunlst
socialism. Our own labor party has
come into Parliament with the Liberal
revival and by virture Of tacit arrange
ments with Liberal voters or Liberal
candidates. 1t knows that a re-
Nuisance of lingo imperialism would
/ be almost as fatal to 1t as to the
Liberal party. On free trade, education
Chinese labor temperance, it is practi-
cally at one with Liberal opinion.
Moreover, contact with Parliamentary
life will soon convince it of the truth
of the words with which M. Seignobos
concludes his broad review Of contem-
porary political history in Europe;
1.-THE actual direction Of political life
rests everywhere with intermediate
parties, Parliamentarians or Liberal
Conservatives, parties of action, con-
cerned with practical questions rather
than with dogma In word. LIBERIA
| ism, here as elsewhere, must direct;
labor and. social Radicalism will large
| ly inspire.
The moral force of the Labor party,
like that Of the Irish party, is there
fore sure to be great. 1t is bound to
act as the social conscience Of LIBERIA
ism. Mr.. Asquith says truly that the
Liberal party is now master of its own
house. But 1t is not independent

sion of rural life, the desertion Of the
fields, the congestion Of the slums, the
abuse of child labor in every great city
in England, the miseries of the old
workpeople, the low standard Of health
and housing which deface3 the indus
trial centres, the duties of a goven-
ment to its servants, Of private capital
to labor. In the field of social reform
lies it's chance of making history and
that not merely in. the way Of legisla-
ton. The government is sure to find
all public offices full of cobwebs left by
ten years of sluggish housekeeping.

tions, just as the great public servants

LAY CANYONS IN FRANCE.

The correspondent of London paper
writing from Rome, recently called at
tention to the fact that one minor re-
suit of the separation of church and
state in France has been that the Presi-
dent of the French Republic has ceased
to be an honorary canon Of the basilica
of st John Lateran. To many English
readers it may well have seemed sur
prisng, not so much perhaps, that the
President should have lost his &C.
clesiastioal dignity, but that he should
have had 1t to lose. That, however, was
the case and it may not be uninterest.
ing to consider briefly the origin and
growth of the custom which caused
religious and civil dignities to overlap
in this curios manner. The particular
distinction mentioned was inherited
from the kings of France, who were
canons not only of this Roman basili-
ca, but of considerable number o.

that they would have done so. And
