some literature setting forth the re-
sources of Amador county, we may
state that in one month there was
sent out from jackson post OIL ce
over ninety pounds of newspapers.
outside of the papers mailed from the
two local newspaper offices. Fully rs
per cent of this matter consisted OF
the local newspapers, remailed to
friends on the outside. No doubt.
some of this matter was sent to per
sons acquainted in this county, and
to supply news for their friends But
1t is also true, that good deal was
sent to strangers to give them an idea
OF the conditions here. 1t is the ONLY
literature available. The newspapers
in their regular issues cannot do 1us.
tice in setting forth the attractions
OF this section to the home seeker.
What is wanted is some special Iitera-
ture for this purpose. A nicely got
ten up pamphlet, with illustrations,
would meet the case. The Ledger
will take this matter in hand if there
is sufficient encouragement to war
rant action.

NOW CI (HlS llSU, IOur ll6IlS are
mentioned in the contract, namely
ink, Tubbers, eylets and Blackstones,
but of these not a single one is so
itemized as to admit of a strict ap-
pIication of the terms of the contract
price. At the same time. the face of
the bill does not show a direct con-
fict with the contract terms. 1t Is
ambiguous, and shows carelessness
IN allowing bills not properly itsmiz-
ed. For instance, the quantity of
Ink is. not given-whether pint or
quart. We reproduce the contract for
such articles: -.
Ink, first quality, blue black
fluid, per quart 5000
Rubber bands, % per cent off list,
Challenge eyelets, No l. small
boxes, per dozen $50
Manila legal tablets, TAxl214,
Blackstone, per doz. lao
From this 1t is clearly seen that the
necessary data is not given in the
A1oHIAOO Jill whereby SGIlCC COM
parison with the contract can be
instituted. There is no longer an
open defiance of the agreement price.
but the examiners are left in the dark
on vital points, and have to take 1t
for granted that the quantity and
prices are correct. Take the item of
rubbers for instance. We presume
that rubber bands are the articles in
cluded in that charge. In the con-
IS tract there is no definite price given,
for such supplies; simply % per cent
OFF list. The supervisors and all
Others concerned are left to find out
for themselves what Is the list price.
10 follow such a system through the
whole raft of bills presented stn the
board, would require a session OF
several days. We do not know what
is the list price of rubber bands.
Then again the size of the rubber
supplied is not given, and the size
governs the price. Let us see how
such articles are regulated in OTHER
counties. In the contract entered
into by Monterey county rubber
bands are priced as follows:
Rubber bands, 0.Oo2 per gross 81 nm
Amador ledger., 1907-08-02

50 That, NOTWITHSTANDING the "25
per cent Oft list price. - the half gross
of rubber bands, assuming that they
were the largest size enumerated
above, cost Amador county nine
times as much as the same articles
would cost In Monterey. The highest
priced rubbers cost 81 per gross,
Amador county pays for half a gross
of unmentioned sized rubbers, $3.50.
That is steep difference against this
county, especially when the price is
supposed to be governed by the lowest

GOSSIP ABOUT
naval PLANS
Washington Knows Very
Little About Proposed
Action

WASHINGTON, Jnty 5.-The de-
tails of the vast movement of the
Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters have
been theoretically worked out weeks in
advance by the naval general board,
but these details are necessarily sub
ject to constant change resulting from
the withdrawal of battleships from ac-
tive commission on account Of hav-
ing been declared antiquated or in need
of repairs and the substitution of 9th
er ships just now going into commits
sion and fresh from the builders
hands
There is at the navy department to-
day scarcely anyone authorized to af-
ford any information ais to the con-
templated feet movement 1t is the
opinion OF the officers on duty that the
route most feasible for big ships is
the straits of Magellan, as the route
through the Mediterranean and Suez
canal is open to the objection that II
brings the big ships almost into Jap
anese waters and the movement might
consequently be regarded a menace
which Secretary Metcalf has stated
he never contemplated.

Adjustments

The city council will convene as a
board of equalization in the council
chambers at 10 o'clock next Monday
at which time the new assessment rolls
will be completed and the taxpayers
can take up their assessment with the
board for corrections where 1t is be-
lieved error or unequal assessment
has been made.
The aggregate assessed valuation of
the property will approximate $4,500,-
600, which is but slight increase over
the valuation of last year. In making
the assessment there have been reduc-
tions in some instances while in others
there is a slight increase by which II
is believed the assessment is much
more equitable than heretofore made
The work has been under way for
the past several weeks, two months OF
which time field representative has
been visiting all sections of the city
and making the assessment from per-
sonal Investigations. The work has
been most thorough in every instance
and the duties of the board of equali-
cation will be materially lessened on
this account.

BATTLE FOR
RIGHT OF WAY

SEATTLE, July 5.-A special to the
Post Intelligencer from Valdez. Alas
ka, says:
One man is dead, another is so
deadly injured that he cannot live and
nine more are seriously wounded as a
result of conflict between the Gug-
genheim and the Bruner interests at
Katalla, day before yesterday. The
fight was over a right of way which
the Bruner forces are protecting.
The Guggenheim interests stationed
detachments of armed men on points
commanding the disputed ground early
in the day. Tony De Parcel, in charge
of a party of laborers, started out to
lay tracks over the Bruner right Of
way under cover of fire from these
camps. A brisk fire was opened from
the Bruner camp, butt DE Parcars men
succeeded in capturing the steel go
devil on which the Bruner camp had
relied to destroy the work done by
their opponents.

ests are makin1 an endeavor to have

Gscredits the Story of the
Naval Plans As
Announced

TOXIC, Jlly 5.-The report from
washington attributing the proposed
sending OF 16 battleships to the Pa
cific according to Admiral Dewey's
private paan is generally disbelieved
here.
The United States Is not known to
possess naval bases in the Pacific
adequate for such purposes and an
impression prevails that the sending
of so hare squadron where sufficient
rendezvous does not exist would sim
ply mean that the vessels would be an
easy prey to torpedo boats and de-
stroyers.
Should i16 'battleships be so employed
as to disprove this impression, rec
ord breaking naval feat will have ITO
be accomplished.
