The levy of a 50 assessment upon
the capital stock of the lone and
Eastern railroad has created some
talk. While it is.a very heavy load
per share, the sum total realized is
not large, and will not go tar in rail
road construction work. The SUP
position is that the assessment is to
provide money for extending the line
to the timber country. The capital
stock of the corporation Is 81 900, 600,
divided into 10000 sharse of SI00 each.
Allowing that the shares are all out
standing, the amount of 50 levy will
aggregate 500, ZOO. AS the cost of
railroad construction in mountain
GUS country such as we have here is
figured at from $50, 900 to SAC, 900 per
mile, the amount will suffice to build
not more than three miles. 1t is a
mere sstarter in the big undertaking.
1t is not likely that the sum total of
the money required to extend the
line will be raised by assessment
upon the capital stock. 1t is only a
assumption, however, that the pro
posed extension Is the cause of the
levy of this assessment.

Century Irish Woman.

Century Irish Woman.
In looking over some family papers
and bundles of old letters 1 discovered
one by Mrs. Jehfereys of Blarney cas-
tie, County Cork. which contains an
account of a circumstance interesting
in Itself as an instance of heroism on
the part of the narrator toward her
brother, the Earl of Clare, and so valu-
able as bringing to light a remarkable
event connected with the history of
those troubled times that feel 1 am
only discharging a duty in submitting
it to the notice of the editor.
The letter is dated 8 Molesworth
street, JUL, 1907, and, among other
matters, Ms. Jeffereys writes as fol-
lows:

ior) was returning from the castle aft

insurgents were armed with pistols.
cutlasses, sledges, saws, crowbars and
every other weapon necessary to break

men were all of them armed with
their aprons full of paving stones. This
ferocious and furious mob began to

crowd dispersed.

Another Railroad Scheme.

A railroad from Stockton to tap the
extensive timber belt of Calaveras
county is actively promoted, by John
Raggio and other capitalists. Experts
have been over the route. accompanied
by some OF the promoters, and are
much enthused over the outlook.
Two surveys have been run from
Valley Spring to the timber region,
distance of fifty miles. Concerning
this huge undertaking the Stockton
Independent of March 9th says:
The vast scheme of development,
which will entail the expenditure Of
between $1,000, 200 and $40, 600, 600,
was promoted by Henry Bruner, vice
president of the Central Trust Com
pany. A commission. headed by q.
q. FACET. we'll known engineer and
railroad man of Paris. which repre-
sented the French capitalists in San
francisco, yesterday came to an
agreement with Bruner. FACET and
Bruner will leave this morning for
Paris, where the full details of the
project will be worked cut. The
commission has maintained head.
quarters at the st. Francis hotel.
The Californians interested in the
undertaking sbesides Bruner are
John Raggio, president of the Com
mercial and Savings Bank of Stock
ton; II. 5. Blood, San Francisco
capitalist; Tilden Tcgnazzini of the
SwissAmerican Bank; Charles Errick
son, contractor who is building the
Bay Shore cutoff, and f.. j. Solinsky,
an attorney. The French capitalists
most heavily interested are former
Minister of Finance Bouden and
president Adam of French banking
syndicate. The project will be
financed through the Banque Franco
Americana of Paris.
The syndicate has already purchas ed
40, 600 acres of timber land in Gala
veras county, incloslng the big trees
now owned by millionaire Whiteslde.
and has options on 100, 600 additional
acres of timber land which it Will
buy up as necessity requires.
In the 40,00 acres of timber land
already acquired at cost of SIS an
acre, there are said to be one billion
feet of lumber. The plan is to fight
the lumber trust in the San Francisco
market. If the plans of the syndicate
carry. 1t will begin the delivery of
the CalaverHs lumber in San Fran
CISCO with the first OF next year.
Work on the proposed ailroad will
begin in April. The line will be
built with all haste in order to afford
an outlet for the lumber from Gala
veras. 1t is rumoIed that from the
forests the line will eventually be ex
tended through Alpine county and the
rich Carson valley into the mining
region of Nevada.

Foothills Wine Grapes.

The advantages of the foothills of
Amador county for the cultivation of
wine grapes are not realized as they
ought to be. The possibilities of
this section are very great. and they
are bound to be utilized, sooner or
later, Grape land in the valleys
command from $50 to 500 per acre.
Amador land can be bought for from
IS to $40 per acre. This difference in
the price of land should be an inlpor-
tant factor, and Offset any small ad-
vantages IN favor of the valleys, il
any such advantages exist. Let it be
conceded that the low land, as rule,
will yield heavier crop than the
foothills. As further offset against
this, the foothill grapes have more of
the wine making qualities, and conse.
quently command higher price in
the market. 1t is said that wine
makers Will give several dollars per
ton more for grapes grown in the
foothills, than for those raised else
where. The wine is of better quality,
and is readily saleabie sat higher
price. This truth is getting to be
we'll understood by experts. There
is no danger, therefore that the culti-
walton of the wine grape Will be over
done In soil peculiarly adapted for
that industry. Every part of Amador
county, for several miles above and
below the main mineral belt, has a
large area of land that might be pro-
f1tably devoted to this business.
Instead of the tendency to monopolize
our foot hill lands for stock grazing,
which has been going on for years and
strongly the other way. Lands now
devoted to raising of stock should be
used for vineyards and iorchards,
supporting a large population OF
small farmers and orchardIsts.
We are pleased to notice move in
the northern end of the county in
this direction. Residents in the
vicinity of Oleta are taking the
matter in hand, believing that it pro-
nises more than anything else that
could be devised to bring the possi-
hiiities OF our foothills to the front.
concerted effort all along the line,
showing what has been done, and can
still be done by little energy and
enterprise, would speedily work a
