To Voters.

Next Tuesday is the last day for
aliens to become naturalized in order
to entitle them to vote at the coming
election. There are very few coming
forward to take ont their full papers
of citizenship this year. This back
wardness is unprecedented. All
naturaIized after Tuesday next will
be precluded from casting a ballot in
November, as the 80 day limit prior
to the election expires on that day.
While persons entitled to citizenship
may get naturalized at any time after
that date, they cannot be placed on
the voting list of the present year.
The registration of voters is pro-
ceeding very slowly. Persons must
be registered 40 days preceding the
election. This Limitation makes
September 81, the last day for
registration.

Silver Lake Dam to be Raised.

A surveying party of fifteen men,
in the employ it is supposed of the
American River Electric Company,
have been at work in the neighbor-
hood of Silver lake, taking surveys,
and doing the necessary preliminary
work for raising the dam fifteen feet
higher. The actual work on the dam
will not be commenced this season.
1t Is said it will require large
force to finish the work in three
years. This raising of the artificial
enbankment will immensely increase
the storage capacity of the lake. 1t
will also innundate a large area of
Plasse's meadow land.

RURAL WATER SUPPLY,
Its Sanitary Condition Not What Il
Ought to BE.


Ought to Be.
When such great sums of money are
beiag expended by city governments
that the inhabitants of towns may have
a sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
This latter population may seem rela-
lively insignificant, but it comprises
about 100000 souls. This means that
those 100000 people are drinking the
water most available without thought
of it's sanitary condition.
These various sources of supply,
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water. The statis-
tics of mortality in the country are
very indefinite, but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from illness as it Should be- And
though everywhere the rural death rate
is lower than the urban death rate, yet
the lowering in the country has not
been as great as in the city. An exam
nation of typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate Of other diseases is gen.
orally lower in the country than in the
city, but the prevalence of typhoid is
almost equal to If not greater in the
rural districts than in the cities.
Several instances have been reported
which show the rural typhoid rate to
be ten times greater than the urban
rate for the same district To particu-
larize, certain district in central
Pennsylvania proves this fact 1t is
made up of rural population with 100
inhabitants to tie square mile. 1t is a
region of fine farms, wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
mic groves. And in this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever as in
the city Of Philadelphia
Sad as this condition is, there seems
to be no remedy for it. The sources of
city water supply are few and the
city government easily controls the
conditions affecting it. But what can
be done when the sources of supply
are numbered by the thousands? A
mint of money and an army of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply that is
given to that of the city.-New York

SNOWSLIDES OF ROCKIES.
Peril of Mountains Takes It's Toll o.
Life and Property.

GerA VI mountains Takes Its Toll of
Life and Property.
Every year the life of a miner in the
high mountain regions is menaced by
the avalanche or snowslide, and every
year brings it's list of casualties and
Of hairbreadth escapes. The story of
snowslides would fill book and would
be thrilling, tragic and in some cases
a grewsome one.
Men have ridden hundreds of feet on
the back of a snowslide and have es-
capped unhurt. Others have been caught
and buried so deep and in such uncer-
tain spots that their bodies have not
been discovered until the melting of
the snow in the following spring.
Some have been caught as they were
walking, but few steps from the
boarding house to the mine. or while
emptying car on the mine dump. Not
infrequently men have found them
selves temporarily imprisoned by the
entrance of the mine being closed by
a slide while they were at work and
have had to dig their way out.
A Chinese cook at one of the Idaho
mines stepped outside his kitchen door
for a moment and was caught and
hurled with the slide 1000 feet down
the hillside and his body was not re-
covered till the following spring.
Such incidents denote the extreme
suddenness, power and velocity of the
slide. Little or no warning is given, a
roar, a cloud of snow obscuring the
sight of the real slide, and in mo-
ment thousands of tons of snow,
mingled with trees and debris, are shot
down the gulch or the slope of noun
tain as from the mouth of a cannon.
In a few seconds all is over and the
scenery of the little valley is COM

In Calaveras and Tuolumne counties
the republican county committee
have undertaken to appoint delegates
to the state convention from their
respective counties. Such arrogant
assumption of power is dangerous,
and lnimical to party success in the
local campaign. In CaIaveras re-
publican sentiment is strongly in the
ascendant, as far as national issues
are concerned, and yet in face of this
strong majority, the democrats have
walked away with the plums of Office
year after year; and are confident of
being able to repeat the trick this
fall. All of which goes to show that
the conduct of the democratic party
is more acceptable to the voters than
that of the republicans. The ignor-
ing of the rank and file by the arrog
ant exercise of power shakes the con-
hdence of the voters, who in MANY
cases resent such action by turning
down the local nominees. That Is
how it works. Let US keep close to
the people; take no step without
taking them into confidence. That is
the only path of safety and success.

Let Us Be Circumspect.

The republican party should be
extremely careful in the make up of
their county ticket this year. No
inherently weak or Objectionable
candidate should be permitted to find
place thereon, not merely because
of reducing the chances of capturing
the particular Office concerned, but
also because of reaction upon the
ticket as a whole. With reasonably
satisfactory ticket, the republicans
ought to make a fairly clean sweep
this campaign. The anomalous situa-
tion of a republican county being
filled with democratic office holders
should be reversed at the polls, and
Will be, if the republicans do not
fooIishly play into the hands of the
enemy in the makeup of the ticket.
1t must be remembered that the
ballots this year will provide circle
for voting straight ticket. A GLOSS
stamped within that circle will count
vote for every candidate on the
republican or democratic ticket, as
the case may be without any other
mark. This immensely simplies the
task of voting. Many a voter Will
simply stamp his cross in the straight
ticket circle, and thereby avoid the
danger of losing his vote by illegal
marking. Ibis disposition will be
sufficiently strong with many that the
makeup of the ticket, while slightly
Objectionable to the individual, will
be swallowed up in the straight party
vote. AS the republicans are in the
majority to the tune of 200 or more,
it must be seen that the republican
candidates should reap the lions
share of the benefit from straight
tickets. No handicap should be
placed upon party success by any
link calculated to overcome this
inclination to vote the straight ticket.
There is disquietude in the ranks of
the democracy. The little coterie of
politicians-who imagine that they
hold Amador county, with It's list of
fat berths, in their hands to be
shaped like plastic clay in the hands
of the potter-are worried at the
outlook. The people are getting on
to them, and they know it. They are
trying not only to fix up their own
broken down fences, but also to take
hand in selecting material for the
opposition ticket according to theil
desperate needs. This is an old
dodge. 1t has been worked effect.
ually in the past. but republicans
should be onto themselves sufficiently
to block it this year. To suggest @
weak candidate, to try to switch q
strong one from entering the race.
are tactics for which republicans
must be on the lookout. Put a good
ticket, on a strong platform of reform
in county affairs, and the vete1s.
alive to their own interest, will do the
rest, and make an end of democratic
ring-rule government.

ticles that are dutiable are the hides
of cattle.
The supply of hides" he said, and
the demand for them, regulates the
price and cause it to fluctuate. While
the price of hides is now double what
it was in 1894, yet between the latter
half of 1902 and the first half of 1904,
the reduction was 1S1s per celf
The duty on hides not only adds
value to the cattle owned by the farm
ers. but it also produces a large sum
of revenues for the support of the gen
eral government. the amount of the
duties collected on such hides for the
year 1905 being s2.757,697"
Taking issue with the delegation
from massachusetts. who favor the re-
moval of the duty on raw hides, Mr..
Bannon said:

during that year $105.571. 900 in wages.
