Funeral of Robert Dufrene.

Tbe funeral of Robert Dufrene, son
of Mr. and Mrs W. ID. Dufrene of
Newmanville. took place Friday
afternoon. In the absence of the
Rev. G. e. Winning, the Free Method
ist minister at lone, Rev. Mr. Dohbin
officiated. The remains we're laid in
their last resting place in the Pro-
testant cemetery, following to the
grave by large number of citizens
generally, and the soIrowlng re-
latives.
The first appearance of the nalady
that carried him to prem allure grave
was noticed while he was at work IN
Arizona about Is months ago. 1t
manifested itself in the swelling OF
the glands of the neck, or tumors
forming on the glands. He was at
that time engaged in driving an oil
team. From there he moved with his
family to Pacific Grove, where he
renamed but short time owing to
the rapid development of the disease.
He submitted to surgical treatment
for the arrest of the complaint at the
hands of specialists in Sacramento,
and thereafter was operated upon by
DIR. Endicott after his return to his
parents home. He experienced much
relief for several weeks, but the
trouble returned, carrying him to his
last home at the early age of rs years
8 months and II days.
He leaves a wife and two children,
the oldest being 3 years II months,
and the youngest months old. He
also leaves father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs VIM. Dufrene, a brother,
Elmer Dufrene, and a sister. Winnie
Dufrene.

Through the years to find you,

And how will it be with you,
In the weary world, wonder?
Will you love me with a love as true,
When our paths lie far asunder?
A sweeter, sadder thing,
My life for having known you;
Forever. with my sacred kin,
Ny SOULS soul, l must own you;
Forever mine, my friend,
From June till llfe's December;
Not mine to have and hold,
Mine to pray for, and Iememb Der.
| The way is short, my friend,
That reaches out before US;
Gods tender heavens above us bend,
His love is smiling DER US.
A little while in ours,
For sorrow or for laughter;
I'll lay the hand you love in yours,
On the shore of the hereafter.

1t was hoped that the increased
assessment roll would enable the
supervisors to make a reduction in
the tax rate. This hope has proved
faIlacious, as 1t usually does in such
cases. The increase of property
valuation acts rather as a stimulus to
exact more money for governmental
$ purposes from taxpayers, by simply
allowing the total levy to remain the
same as the previous year. On a
valuation of So, 7l4,7 13, leaving the
exemption of the city of jackson
from road and bridge taxes out of
consideration, 81 on the 500 will
give revenue of Sll4,294 or an
average of more than 81 per head per
month tor every man, woman and
child within the limits of Amador
county-which Is probably the CON-
pactest county in the state. and
therefore should be one uf tine most
economically governed.
For the current expense fund the
revenue will be over S34, 900. For
roads and bridges nearly $50, ZOO, and
with the road poll tax the amount
will be sweIled to nearly S35, 900 that
would be available for road maInten-
ance by the supervisors. Except,
however, that property within the
city limits of Jackson will be exempt
from the road and bridge Ievies. For
school purpose the sum raised will be
less than $40, 100; to which will be
added the amount received from the
state.
1T is evident that as rule property
holders will be called upon this year
to pungle up more money in settle
ment of the exactions of the toll
gatherer than they were last year.
The abnormal increase in the de-
mand for bridge construction this
year will be given as the main reason
for the extra money required. Five
bridges are to be constructed, three
of them joint bridges. the cost OF
which will fall equally upon Amador
and neIghboring counties. FULLY
$1,000 will be raised by the levy OF
l9% cents for that fund. But there
is always something comes in the way
to prevent reduced tax rate, and the
cost OF the local government goes Oh
plling up from year to year, with its
bad effect upon the prosperity of the
county. In Ell Dorado they have a
tax rate of 81 the same as in anna
dor The Republican commenting
upon this heavy toll IN the way OF
dead investment, says 1t is an in
vitation to those who are in the
county to retire from it, rather than
an Involvement for new settlers to
come in.
Within the city limits of jackson
the state and county rate will be
sl.471a, and the city late 10 cents,
making total 81. 171s. The heavy
expense for road and bridge mainten-
ance does not fall upon the incorpor-
ared city, and that is certainly re.
deeming feature of this year.

Feet Deep--iInd Been OPP
Grated Only Three Years.

Charleston. w. Va, Jan. 29.--There are
at least 20 or GO persons known dead as q
result of an explosion In the Stewart
mine near Fayetteville. in Fayettc county
tonight according to the last reports re-
Celved, and It is expected the number will
reach 81 more
The explosion was caused by dust in
the mine. Every effort is being made -
get to the men who are entombcd. but
there is little hope that any OF them are
alive.
At the time OF the explosion there were
about 200 men in the shaft and there ~
great apprehension that great many OF
them were in the mine when the explo-
sion occurred. Organized effort is being
made to get to the men in the mine and
volunteers are plentiful. The scene about
tho mine is a pathetic one. men, women
and children crying for their dear onas
and implorine those on the ground to ,,o
to their rescue.
The Stewart mine is shaft SIS feet
deep. The Development is in the Sc
wall seam which ranges in thickness
from four to five feet. The mine has
been I'm operation for about three years
or more but has not been fully devel-
oped. the work of development having
almost entirely been done on the dou-
bic entry system.
