SWEET MELODY FLOUR.

RattleSnake in His Arms.

One day last week Adam Gourley,
who resides at North Branch. had a
thrilling experience with a RATHER
and one he does not care to repeat.
Mr.. Gourley was engaged in sledin9
wood out of gulch at the time.
when in picking up an armful of
wood tor the purpose of loading it
on the sled he also picked up two
foot RATHER. He no sooner had the
snake up in his arms than the reptile
gave his warning rattle when Adam
threw the snake and wood as far as
he could away from him. The snake
had no sooner touched the ground
than he coiled ready for battle, but
Mr. GourleY soon took all of the fight
out of him with the sticks of wood
he had handy. The reptile WAS two
feet in length and had five rattles.

Business Moving Too Fast.

Chairman Gary of the United States
Steel Corporation, before sailing for
Europe, gave it as his opinion that
there would be falling of in the
volumne of business during the
second halt of this year. One factor
IN this condition. he said, was the
approach of the next presidential
campaign, which always had the
effect of curtailing orders. Another
point, he said, was that people had
been doing too much business tor the
amount of money available, and that
railroads had found some difficulty IN
securing necessary capital. The in
crease in the volame of money in the
world had not kept pace with the
increase in the volume of business.
He had seen signs, also, of decrease
in the amount OF building activity,
and he thought that the numerous in
designations and exposures and radical
agitation of the last year or two had
tendency to make investors tlmid.
Ii violent agitation should continue
there would be more and more money
drawn out of productive employment.
Nevertheless, Judge Gary believed
that the exposure of financial corrup-
ton would prove beneficial in the
end. A contraction IN business
would not be wholiy.undesirable, he
concluded, as the country has been
going at too high speed, factories
running over time that they might
ill their orders.

Some Editorial Difficulties.

President Roosevelt, In his James
town speech. advised the newspaper
editors of the country to be temperate
in their expressions.
The temperate expression Is a fine
thing, we admit,
And the sanctum's always better for
a wholesome lot of 1t;
But suppose some gentle poetess of
forty years or more
Brings in her latest poems and sits
down and reads them DER?
And suppose some old subscriber
brings column letter in,
And in trying to unroIl 1t you are
skewered with a piny
Pleae tell US, Mr. President, among
such dread killjoys,
Just how is any editor to keep his
mental poise?
Suppose cub reporter has stirred up
the office ire
By falling down completely on the
story of fire?
Or some compositor has knocked an
article sky high
By carefully inserting there line of
printers "pi"?
Suppose a wreck or war breaks loose
and photo there is not
The EDITORS "otficial" was not there
with his gun.
While his hated rivals picture man
was Johnny ON the-Spot-
How's an editor to hold himself from
writing things red hot?
Suppose the umpire from our team
has stolen one whole game,
And the sporting editor sits down to
call that imp a name;
Do you think he's going to seek q
term of mild and soft reproof,
Or will he jump upon the man with
spikes in verbal hoof?
But these are just few small things
that drive the press man wild !;
There are others where it can't be
hoped he'll draw his language
mild.
But still, to words incorporate he'll
strive ne'er to give vent,
And he as mild critic as-well, say
our PRESIDENT
Denver Republican.

Iond Union High School.
Correspondence.

1t seems that the only thing that at
present claims the attention of every
thinking man, woman and child OF
Amador county, Is the controversy
in the matter of the lone Union High
School.
Will it survive or perish? That is
the question. What is the reason
that the districts composing the
Union district became dissatisfied so
quickly with their school? lime
alone will anwser the first question,
but if some of US who have studied
the question of high schools we're
permitted to answer that question,
our answer would be: Let it perish,
that different and better institution
supported by the whole county may
be erected to take It's place. OF which
more hereafter.
The second question is more easily
answered. In the first place the
burden of taxes imposed on the tax
payers of the Union district was so
much in excess of what they were led
to believe it would be. This caused
in a measure by the efforts of the
trustees to pay for an expensive
building and equipment in too short
term of years, and by those same
trustees being too free to spend
money for labratory expenses, which
should properly have been paid las
elsewhere) by the students who use
the labratory supplies.
No tuition was charged at first to
outside students, and that imposed
very unjust burden of support on the
taxpayers; for though each student
does help to draw more money from
the state for the school, yet if no
tuition is charged outsiders, amount
of state aid is not enough to counter
balance the extra expense. The Union
district objected to mo tuition"
and last term the other extreme was
inaugurated, maximum tuition" A
happy medium would perhaps have
been better policy.
Again a high school such as was
established in lone is not the kind of
high school Amador county needs.
Why? Because it units rather than
fits the majority of its graduates for
The struggle of lite. There may be
one in one hundred probable high
school students of Amador county
who want to be fitted to enter the
cademic courses at the universities.
The other SO will probably never
enter any other place of learning
after having completed the high
school course. Those SO should be
ready to face the problems of citizen
chip and of life when they complete
the high school course. What good
will smattering of Latin do the boy
who wants to be a mining engineer,
surveyor, an assayer, book keeper,
stenogIapher, merchant, farmer. fruit
grower, stookman, banker or what
not.
1t seems to me what we need here
is a commercial and polytechnic
county high school, centrally located;
built and equipped by the sale of
bonds bearing low rate of interest
and running for term of years sup
ported by light tax on the 81
million dollars worth of taxable

Reports on City Ownership.

The investigation of public owner
ship of public utilities in Europe and
this country by the National Civic
Federation's commission has resulted
in two reports, one by Prof. John K.
Commons of Wisconsin University
favorable to the proposition and the
other by j. w. Sullivan of the Cloth
Ing Trades Bulletin disappearing
Prof. Commons says they found the
privately owned utilities in England
dividing surplus for civic better
ments because of the prevailing tend
ency toward public ownership and Its
example in cities where it had been
adopted. Many have shrewdly ar
ranged copartnership plans and have
recognized the labor unions. He Is
convinced that the recognition of the
unions is the safeguard against pollt
ical corruption in public ownership
and that private ownership offers no
escape from politics.
Editor Sullivan says that in all but
the most poorly paid forms of labor
public ownership has not raised or
improved conditions of work. He
contends that in England no street
car business has ever been private
enterprise, in the sense that the word
is used in this country, thus making
comparison with American conditions
unfair. Taking Syracuse, Allegheny
and Wheeling as the best samples OF
American multiplication offered,
they found conclusive evidence of
political rottenness in each case. He
regards it as "a project to restrict
men in their activities by methods
foreign to the American genius.

BABYL0NIAN LETTERS.

ing, says the London Saturday Re-
view. They serve to enforce the
lesson that human life is much the
same at all times and Gin all places,
provided it Is led in civilized com
munity. Human wants and even the
expression of them do not vary much.
The letters, like all others in the
cuneiform script, were written on
clay tablets, which we're inclosed in a
clay envelope bearing the address.
There were already complaints that
work was insutficiently paid. A
brewer. for instance. writes to say
that latter ! have made forty -one
cases of 1-yearold beer and twelve
cases of old beer IN four months in
the cellar adjoining that of Rimut-
Bau, one mana of silver is too little. -
Another writer protests: ''In the
matter OF the money which my father
has sent, the money which has been
paid for the dates is too little. Let
my father speedily send two manas of
silver in addition, or l shall gain
nothing on the transaction. The
Workmen we're frequently paid in
kind; sometimes, however, a lump
sum of money was paid down, out of
which the artisan was expected to find
his own food. One letter casts
rather lurid light on the relations
between the employers and employed.
The writer states that a workman bad
gone blind, and that consequently
his pay must be stopped and his place
taken by some one else. Between the
state of society reflected in this letter
and the workmen's compensation bill
the distance is considerable. In
another letter we are told that
strike is threatening, and for the very
efficient, but very oriental, reason
that the workmen had not received
their pay. All the stonemasons, it
is said, have been uttering discon-
tent, saying. He Expresses us; none
gives us our pay for the months Swan
or Tammuz,' Let my Lord command
that they be paid, for they are grow
ing very threatening.
Ladies, as might be supposed, ap-
pear among the correspondents. One
of them was "a careful housewife who
impresses upon her husband to "put
the meat which has been sent you
into salt; but If you are not ready to
do so give it to Nazir, after the ninth
day." Another is equally character
istlc. Why, pray, am l and my
daughters to pass the time thirsting

your wits together and then, by
Samas, observed Why, pray, has Bull
uballit taken away all my dates?

it he answered, See, your dates be-
long to Bel-uballit, but Bel-u ballit
has not given me back single one.
When l told them that the dates we're
our own produce they said to me,
