The Tobacco Crop,

That the United States has become
the largest producer of tobacco in the
world is shown by an official bulletin
containing an estimate of the extent
and value of the crop raised last year.
III all abc-7t 796,O99 acres of tobacco
were grown. producing an average
yield of S57.2 pounds to the acre, or a
total of 6S2. 42S. $50 pounds The av-
erage value of the crop was 10 cents
per pound. or a total of about Sos. 232. :
647. While it is almost impossible to
comprehend the magnitude of the val
ue Of the manufactured products of
tobacco, a glance at the total figures
may convey some idea of the develop
ment of this great and distinctive
American industry.
In 1900 the total value OF the manu-
featured products of tobacco was
1888, 0I6.546. In the manufacture 142. :

Russian Farmers Coming

A crowd of Russian farmers, the first
OF this class of immigrants to arrive
at Philadelphia in any considerable
numbers, reached there recently on the
American liner Friesland, from Liver
pool. There were many who lad
fought for their country against Japan
and who still wore the military =
forms in which they had been dis
charged.
There were in all $50 of these much
sought-after farmhands. nearly all of
whom are members of the Greek ORTIZ
OdoX Slurch. Most of the Immigrants
left last night for Illinois, Minnesota
Nebraska and the Dakotas. Though
lIllterate, they are industrious and
thrifty. The leader of the party stated
that, owing to the political and eco
nomic crisis, 100000 farmhands viii
leave Russia this year for the Unified
States, coming principally from the
Dneiper and Don districts the richest
farming districts of the country.

Back from Goldfield.

Among the latest arrivals from the
Wanted mining region of Gold
field is A. W. Kimball, of Pioneer
district, who returned Monday even
ing. and went on to his home in
Pioneer the following day. He has
been over in Southeastern Nevada on
three different occasions, his latest
trip being taken about four months
ago. He has been prospecting over
the desert region, hoping to strike it
rich. tie Is veteran prospector
ter, but whether he will go back in
the spring we have not heard. Like
many others who have visited far
famed and much boosted regions, he
is of the opinion that, while fully
admitting that it is Iicn in mineral
resources, its riches, so far as actual
discoveries are concerned, have been
greatly exaggerated. In GoldfieId
the gold bearing seams are very mar
row, sometimes shrinking to few
inches, when they frequently carry
enormous values. There are no
well-defined lodges, such as are
characteristic of the mother lode.
He was in Goldfield when the present
labor dispute resulting in a strike of
the Western Federation men occurred,
and the shipment OF federal troops to
the scene of disturbance was made.
He says everything was peaceful and
quiet at the time he left, and had
been so from the Inauguration of the
strike.

School Apportionment.

School perintendent Greenhalgh
has received notice from the state
superintendent that the sum of s547l.
81 hns been apportioned to Amador
county. This amount OF state money
will be apportioned to the various
districts this week. The sum is I'M
usually small for this time of the
year-less than onehalf the amount
received in other years. This is ac-
counted for by the postponement of
time OF delinquency tor the first in
stalment of taxes from the last Mon
day IN November to the last Monday
in January. 1t shows that the exten.
sion of time has been taken advantage
of by more than one half the taxpayers
or rather by persons representing
over one-half OF the property values.
However, Amador has not lost the
money, it will come along in due
time.

Finger Badly Crushed.

Thomas Ball, employed at the ZeIla
mine, met with very painful acci-
dent on Thursday of last week. He
was engaged IN lifting a timber in
the underground workings, and the
first finger of his left hand was crush
ed between the timber and a rock.
The finger was very badly mashed,
although the victim was not aware
how severely he was hurt at the time.
He finished out his shift, but the
next day he was unable to work, and
was compelled to seek the doctor
He has been nursing very sore hand
ever since. The bones of the mem
Der are crushed, and 1t will be
several weeks before he will be able
to do any work. The attending sur
geon hopes to save the use of the
finger.

Permits to Violate Law

In the early days of this city
government an ordinance was passed
foIbidding all manner of distractions
of the public streets and side walks.
The system of placing goods on the
sidewalks for exhibition, and to at
tract attention, was to be discontinue
ed. There is no dispute concerning
the wholesome effect of such an
ordinance, If faithfully and Impair
TALLY enforced.
1t may have been noticed lately,
however, that the sidewalks in places
are decorated with goods for sale,
and the question is naturally being
asked, 'How comes it that the Spirit
of the ordinance is thus violated. -
This is more particularly noticeable
when short time ago even goods
displayed on the front wall of store
building was regarded as an infringe
ment of the ordinance. 1t is true,
that the display of goods on the edge
OF the sidewalk, or suspended from
strings stretched post to post of the
porch, is not serious inconvenience,
neither was the hanging of goods
against the WALL Nevertheless, both
may be strictly speaking against the
ordinance. We have taken the
trouble to inquire into the why and
wherefore of this backdown from the
literal enforcement, or failure to en-
force the ordinance. In explanation
we have been told most remarkable
story. 1t seems that the business
houses thus using the sidewalks have
been granted permits to do so, which
permits are signed by three of the
city TRUSTEES. 1t is said that the
ordinance Itself provides that its pro-
visions may be Suspended in that
way. Now, isn't that beautiful ex-
emplitication of legislative wisdom,
on the now-it-is and now-it-I ism u
plan. What would be thought of a
state law that provided that written
document signed by certain officials
would confer upon the holder thereof
the privilege of violating any of the
penal provisions of the state, or any
particular provision for that matter.
Wouldn't it jar you.

Stopped Hauling
Rock from Anita.

The rock used on the city streets
has heretofore been Etaken from the
Anita dump. This is. perhaps due to
the fact that it is of hard character,
and also that it is the handiest to
get at. How the city obtained the
right to use this dump we are not
informed, or whether the authorities
ever received any privilege in the
premises. The Anita belongs to the
stockholders of the Kennedy and is
under the same management. A few
days ago, the getting of material for
! street work was brought to an abrupt
close. 1t appears that ID. s. Talon
has made arrangements to lease the
land, comprising about 40 acres, for
grazing purposes. And he went to
work and put up good fence around
it. The gate had been left open
several times, and on making in
quiries the key was not Forthcoming.
Mr.. Talon went to work and put on
new lock, shutting off ingress TO
the property for the rock haulers.
He was appealed to for the key and
told them they could have no more
rock from that quarter until definite
arrangements we're made to that end.
Rock hauling has ceased for more
than week past as far as this dump
is concerned. The street material
since has been gathered from the bed
of the south fork.

Bess meets Cal Blair, a cowboy, who
