u. S. Gregory Sells His Business.

The variety store on Main street
owned by US. Gregory, now sheriff,
has been sold to julius Piccardo and
George Vela. The new proprietors
will take charge soon. Next Monday
an inventory of the stock will be
taken, and not until that is completed
with the amount paid for the same be
known. We understand the pur-
chasers have the first right of buying
the store building if the owner de-
cides to sell. The business is a good
one and we have no doubt the young
men who have entered into partner
ship to run the same will score a
success. Both are energetic, accom-
modating and possessed of managerial
ability. Charles Freeman, who has
been employed in the store, will re-
main until the new owners become
thoroughly posted in all the details
of the business.

The county has purchased the cal
culating machine, which has been on
trial in the clerks and tax collector s
office for some time. 1t Is very
handy machine, absolutely correct,
and saves a whole lot of time and
worry in the adding of figures. Such
machines are in general use in public
offices throughout the county, also in
banks and other places were quick
ness and correctness in figures is an
important factor. The price paid was

Caminetti as a Time Chaser.

Caminetti has long been known as
politician Of the whirlwind order.
This reputation has been squarely
and honestly earned. He may be
somewhat slow in some things, but
this feature has never bothered him
much in politics. He seems to take
delight in being on the ego" at
breakneck speed, and doing things
that the ordinary mind would deem
impossible. This characteristic was
strikingly illustrated in his move
ments this week. Caminetti was
elected state senator of this district
at the last election by an overwhelm-
ing majority. He was required to be
at the capitol in Sacramento at the
assembling of the legislature last
M onday at 10 O'Clock in the morning.
To be there on time 1t was necessary,
going by the usual route by way of
lone and Gait, to start Sunady, and
reach Sacramento the same after
noon. Cam. didn't go that day,
however. He didn't believe in gett-
ing a move on until the last "toot. "
Now the average man would have
stayed over till the next day, arriving
in the capital city two or three hours
after the roll call, but that would not
have mattered materially, especially
as Cam. belongs to the "lonely few
elected on the democratic ticket.
Caminetti did not propose to get left
in that way, however. He got up
Monday morning before the rooster,
aud reused up the stable keeper in
Newman's livery stable, secured a
buggy, also driver IN the person of
w. Chinn, ard at 3 o'clock in the
morning, III the teeth of the storm
and a cold snap of unusual severity,
started for Latrobe, a distance of IS
miles. There he caught the Placer
Vile train bound for Sacramento, and
succeeded in reaching the abode of
the lawmakers in ample time to
answer the roll call. That feat was
| CamInetti all over. He reached his
destination without the slightest mis-
hap. The return trip Of the driver
and buggy to Jackson was not so
fortunate. A collision with another
team was an incident of the home
trip, and the buggy got back to its
quarters considerably battered up by
the experience. The driver returned
safe and sound. The wagonmaker
is patching up the damaged vehicle.

PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT.
Textile Importers Criticise CONNER
CiaI Agreement with Germany.

New York. July 5.-The Textile I'm
portcrs' Association have sent TO Presi-
dent Roosevelt a petition against the
commercial agreement with Germany.
This agreement the importers say. is
fraught with danger 10 the interests Of
American merchants and manufacturers
and also 10 American worlingmen In
part the complaint says:
Breaches in the tariff system which
viii bee the result Of operations Of this
commercial agreement will undermine the
tariff system itself They cannot be con-
structed as "a legitimate answer to the de-
mand for tariff revision IT, as has been
said, on behalf Of this agreement, the
United States under il gains a remission
In duties Of S5654OO0. while the remission
10 favor OF Germany, after giving her all
the advantages possible under section 3
OF the Dusley act is only S25S,lsS, it must
ba palpable that Germany has secured
some advantage or concession that would
balance these apparently unfair and di-
verse conditions, or why should she enter
into The agreement at all?
1T is reasonable 10 suppose that after
making her pretentious demand for new
tariff arrangements she would Doe salts
fed with a solution OF the difficulties
which would leave the financial advan-
tagas entirely on the side of this Coun-
try"
