ALPS Fair That's True

We were not astounded to read
an English lacerated article in
our semi-contemporary this week
after it's Rip Van Wrinkle sum-
Der. We sacrifice space for re-
ply because he asked US one or
more questions and if we do not
answer them he may think us
ungrateful. We never feel that
we are done an injustice by an.
other so long as he or they is or
are, manly enough to be truthful
Our contemporary used all his
editorial space to contradict
something said about certain APP
pointees, and wound up a dismal
failure. The Advance Citizen,
poor thing don't know that there
is such a thing as logic. His
premises we're rotten, hence his
conclusions. He simply attempt
ed to refute what The Forum
said and instead, sustained it.
But where he told malicious
and wanton untruth S when
he stated that The Forum was
not honest in the Duncan alder
manic contest, whereas the rec
ord will show that the Forum
supported Duncan most literally
without money or price-the
SINE being more than the Ad-
vance Citizen did. No sane man
with ordinary scrutinizing ability
to decide. would say that The
Forum doubled crossed in the
last Observation-Disclosures that as
sertion is the naked untruth.
He reproduced our article OF
April 2O-what has that to do
with the allegations set forth in
our article of May 4? He also
asked the superbly silly question
(which would we support
Negro democrat CT Negro Re-
publican?" He wants to know
where the Forum is at. The
editorials in this paper speak for
themselves weekly and not mere
ly during campaign. The F'o-
rum asks no quarters and will
give none. Our contemporary
is too infinitesmal in Judgment to
be reckoned with.

Saw Mill Closes Down.

The Tiger saw mill about twelve
miles above Volcano in charge of IL.
M. Cooper, and owned by the Stand
ard Electric Co., closed down Sun
day afternoon after very successful
run of four months, and the fifty
odd men, who had been divided be-
tween two camps, where laid off for
the season. During all this time not
a single man was hurt seriously, only
a few cuts and bruises, while only
three horses were killed during the
entire run. Two of these were acct
IDENTIFY killed the fore part of last
week by loaded car getting away
and running them down. The team
belonged to Finley Goodman.
The usual order given to this mill
by the company is for 1900, 900 feet,
and when it is filled they are sup
posed to close down. The capacity of
the mill averages about $1,000 feet a
day, though it has gone as high as
Al, 900 feet. Most of the lumber cut
this year Is from spruce, with very
little yellow or sugar pine. 1t is all
used by the Standard Electric in
keeping their fumes in repair, and
for new ones. N. E. Denning, who
has the contract for hauling out all
the sawed lumber expects to finish
sometime next week.

The Grape Crop.

The vineyardists are now commenc
ing to gather their harvest of wine
grapes. The crop is not heavy one
but is about an average. The warm
weather of the past week has been
very beneficial in maturing the grapes
for wine-making. The price paid
local wineries for home raised grapes
is $40 per ton. Of course, this varies
slightly, some may command trifie
more, others somewhat less, accord
ing to quality of product. This,
however, is very satisfactory price
from the view point of the vineyard
lists, and leaves good profit for the
wine manufacturer. 1t is rarely that
the yield of wine grapes is less than a
ton per acre, and the quantity of
wine produced from ton of grapes
runs from 100 ton to $50 gallons.
The wine sells in the local market for
80 cents per gallon, { in wholesale
lots. There is money yet in grape
raising, and wine making. Years ago
the wine men were compelled to send
the wine to the Atlantic coast, gett
ing only between 80 and 40 cents per
gallon. Now this export business is
done away with, as they can readily
dispose of all they can produce to
California buyers, and at much better
prices.

Teachers Institute. >

County School Superintendent
Greenhalgh has issued call for the
county teachers institute to meet in
Sacramento on Tuesday, October %,
continuing until the 18th inclusive.
At that time the teachers association
of Northern California will hold its
session in Sacramento, and Amador
county, wisely we think, elected
to join that body in holding its in
stitute this year. The institute will
in fact be merged in the general body.
Nine counties will hold their in
stitutes in conjunction with the
association, namely: Amador, Butte,
Nevada, Yolo, Colusa, Glenn, Placer,
Sacramento and Tehama, while three
other counties-Yuba, Suffer and
Shasta will meet during the same
week and adjourn to the Sacramento
meeting. A reduction of third
fare on the return trip has been Sc
cured from the railroad company,
making two-third rate for the round
trip, and special arrangements will
be made for accommodations at the
hotels and private boarding houses
in the capital city. 1t is estimated
that over 1000 teachers will be pre-
sent.

John Reyes was arrested Monday in
Plymouth by constable Wheeler on q
warrant issued by judge Blower,
charging him with tfelony in abduct-
ing one Abina Bagalo under the age
of sixteen years from the home of her
father. - Bail was fixed at $1,000,

This is not the first time Reyes has
been in trouble, having been confined
in the county Jail for twenty five

brother was up at the same time for
the same offense.

Change in Stage Line.

John Raggio, who is the contractor
for carrying the mail between Moke-
lumne Hill and jackson, and who
sublet this right to Mrs M. Folger,
with the right, it is claimed, to re-
sumo the same at any time, has mott
fed her that he will take the line
back. The change is expected to GO
into effect next month. Since the
mines at Angels have resumed opera
tions, the travel between jackson and
Angels Camp has increased material
ly. The same stage that will run
between jackson and Mokelumne
Hill will also ply between this city
and Martell, as the combined length
of the line from Martells to the Hill
is about eight miles, and can easily
be made with the same horses sand
driver. The proposed change is in
the direction of economy.

HOW DID HE DO 1T.
Refused to Stay
Behind Barred Doors.


ID. D. Emerson was taken in charge
by Sheriff Gregory Saturday evening,
and place in the padded room of the
county hospital. known as the insane
ward. He was found acting strange
ly. The city marshal went to his
cabin near South jackson, on in
formation from neighbors, and fund
that he was laboring under the i'm
preston that hoodlums were annoy
ing him: that they were gathering
about his dwelling for the purpose of
disturbing him. He was armed with
a gun. The matter was reported to
the sheriff, who went to investigate.
and found Emerson walking I'D
Broadway, carrying his rifle. He
took the gun away from him, and
then accompanied him to the hospital,
locking him in the ward as above
stated. Emerson was evidently I'M
duly excited, acting queerly, as the
effect of taking an overdose of some
powerful drug, which he was in the
habit of using when mining in the
big tunnel at Middle Bar, to over
come the effect of the powder smoke.
He conversed nationally enough, how
ever, on all subjects, except the
matter of the annoyance from hood
lums. He is ingenious in mechanism
and machinery, as the authorities
soon discovered. In very short
time after he was placed in captivity
it was reported to the sheriff that he
had effected his escape. He was
hunted up again, and taken from his
cabin and restored to the same quart
ers in the hospital. This time the
windows and every avenue of escape
was cut off, and it was believed a
nights sleep would fully restore him
to normal condition. But the cap
tive did not want to sleep just then;
his mind was working on the escape
problem. Soon he was met between
nine and ten O'Clock travelling home
ward. Some hospital patients who
we're around saw him leaving the
grounds, and remarked, "There he
goes again." For the third time he
was ferreted out, and returned to the
hospital, and extra precautions were
taken to guard against escape. Every
body retired for slumber, except the
man who was laboring under the i'm
preston that he was being restrained
of his liberty without sufficient
cause. He was busy devising ways
and means to get out. Next morning,
sure enough, "the bird had flown
This time the lock was gone. He
had managed to get the best of it in
some mysterious manner. He was
found around town, joking and tell
ing the fact of his escape. The
officials we're nonplussed. They
wanted to know the modus operandi,
but this satisfaction he refused to
give. unless they pungled up one
hundred dollars for the tip. They
don't know yet how he got out.
They concluded that if he possessed
skill enough to thwart them three
times in succession in that many
hours, he might just as we'll he
allowed at large, without any further
eff orts to curtail his liberty. 1t was
simply temporary spell of halluci-
nation, and he has been all right ever

Lays Oft Men.

Superintendent Finchler of the

men Tuesday morning, pending a
more complete development of the
property. 1t is the intention of the
company to keep the mill running

Both the Central Eureka and the
Keystone are short of men, so that
those laid off are mostly all at work
