GOT IT BAD.
(Erom Amador Rrecord. }

jackson, Calf, April %, 1905.
Owing to press of business, your
correspondent has not been able to
furnish his usual highly edifying
hrain-storms to an eXpoctunt public
and only patriotic duty causes him at
this time to again take up the pen.
lie has noticed that the city and
county government is ali wrong.
Extravaganza Is rampant. AS much
as 81. 80 has been paid out in one in
stance for cleaning the streets, and
the Job was so poorly done that the
editor Of the Ledger was not swept
into The creek with other garbage.
The omission may have been ali
oversight, or it might have been done
for the purpose Of seeing how much
more OF a stencil he could Kick up
before being eliminated.
The county is misgoverned tecause
tho board Of supervisors by asserting
their American manhood in the per-
Torrance of their lawful duties have
refused to be dictated to by a ''moss-
back" who has become insane on
the subject Of retIenchment and re-
form since he cannot get his hand in
the county treasury.
The city is misgoverned for the
reason that his Kangarooship is mot
allowed dictatorship pertaining to
everything connected with the city
government. Even the city ballots
we're printed wrong; no doubt this
was owing to the fact that they wree
not printed in the Ledger office.
Printing rates as established by the
board of supervisors are all wrong.
Everything is in a chaotic state.
There is but one remedy for all these
evils. Amend the law so that the
people OF the county can select
Richrad Webb to have full charge of
all matters that have heretofore been
attended to 10y board of supervisors
also while at it mako it possible for
a man to hold two offices at the same
time and give him full chargeGot city
affairs.
This is the only way the extremely
misgoVerned city andScounty can be
set Alright.
OF course it is possible that the
city and county is not misgoverned,
only from "Webb" standpoint,
and the people are mott am sure
paying attention to the vaporings of a
disgruntled, and despeptic old man
in his dotage,

Celebrate Anniversary
of ODD Fellowship.


Last Saturday was an ideal day for
the picnic which the Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs Of lone gave in honor of
the anniversary of the former. The
preceding days had been rather
stormy, but the morning Of the
picnic broke as clear and bright as
could he. Large crowds gathered
from all over the county, and re-
NAMED at the grounds most of the
day. The arrangements committee
had provided for sports for the
amusement of the people. They in
cluded different athletic sports and
various games, into which everyone
entered with spirit There was a
baseball game between Plymouth and
Clements, the latter winning by a
good margin. TIE basketball game
between the lone high school boys
and the team of the freshman class Of
Berkeley college drew the most atten-
ton. 1t was very close game from
the start, neither team being able TO
show its supremacy. The score at the
end Of the second half stood II to II.
A girls team from Oakdale was to
have played the girls from the lone
high, but they failed to put in an
Appearance. W. II. Greenhalgh was
president OF the day, Claude Wilson
the marshal, Miss Emma Boarman
assisting, while Mrs Jennie katen
stlen was the orator. The jackson
brass band furnished the music. In
the evening a dance was held at the
pavilion in town with music blythe
Lodi orchestra.
The same evening in honor of the
anniversary of Oddfellowship, Ply
mouth gave a dance, Bowers orchestra
of Stockton, having been engaged to
play for them. The hall was crowded
with dancers.

WATER PROJECT
CONTENDS FOR RIGHT TO BUILD
RESERVOIR AND POWER
PLANT ON TAYLOR
RIVER.
PLANS FOR Big Dam
GOVERNMENT ENGINEER CLAIMS
1T CONFLICTS WITH RE-
cLAMATloN SER
VICE.

Denver-Albert B. Sanford, assayer,
has gone to Washington, d. c., to try
to convince the government that it
has no right, by department ruling,
to interfere with the operation OF a
state law
Mr.. Sanford is to appear before Sec
rotary of the Interior Garfield.
Il am going to fight for my rights"
said Mr.. Sanford, Three years ago
filed upon land for the building of a
reservoir and power plant on Taylor
river. My reservoir was planned to be
large enough to hold 4,500,0000 900 cubic
feet, which would make it consider
able larger than the Cheesman dam.
The dam will be lao feet high.
This reservoir and power plant
upon the public land is authorized by
federal law. The right to store flood
waters and use them in connection
with the normal flow of the stream for
the development of power is clearly per-
mitted under the laws of Colorado.
My intention is to do just this. l
have faithfully followed all of the re-
quirements of the state of Colorado,
the rules and regulations of the for
estry service and other departmental
regulations. There has been no ques-
"An engineer decided this project
would interfere with the plans of the
reclamation service in Uncompahgre
valley.
Il am certain that If the Taylor
river was not in existence, there
would be ample water for all uses of
the Uncompahgre canal. Eighty per
cent. of all me waters flowing by the
last portal Of the Gunnison tunnel are
from tributaries entering the river be-
low the proposed dam site.
Il made every effort to demonstrate
to the department that my project, If
permitted, would result largely to the
benefit of the Uncompahgre project,
and in no case a detriment That the
extra water which would naturally be
required for the production of energy
when the stream was low would be
drained from the reservoir, and after
passing the wheels would be returned
to the channel of the stream, and those
waters be given to the Uncompahgre
project without cost to it or to the
government.
Il have been satisfied from the start
that the right to construct this reser-
voir has been authorized by federal
law, and l leave today to press my
case"
The site for the proposed reservoir
is bounded by the Quartz creek range
on the south; the Continental divide,
or Collegiate range on the east, and
the Elk mountains on the north and
northwest. The drainage area of the
proposed reservoir is over $50 square
miles.

Two New Bishops Elected.

Baltimore.-The battle of the bish-
oprics was hotly waged Thursday and
before the adjournment of the Metho-
dist Episcopal general conference the
fifth ballot had been cast and was in
the hands of the tellers. Rev. DR.. Will
liam F. Anderson of New York, and
Rev DR.. John l.. Nuelsen of Mast
Theological seminary. Berea, Ohio,
were elected bishops upon the second
ballot DR.. Nuelsen received his de-
gree from the university of Denver in
1900. The third and fourth ballots
were without result.
1t is expected that the newly elected
German bishop. Nuelsen. will be given
an episcopal residence in Berlin. with
charge of the Teutonic races in Eu
rope, and that bishop William Burt
will confine his labors to the Latin
races.
Significance attaches to recon-
mendation which the book committee
unanimously decided to make to the
conference. 1t is that hereafter the
book concerns of the church employ
only union men at union wages and
favorunion labor whenever opportunity
offers. During the past four years the
two great publishing houses of the
general conference have had good
deal of trouble with labor unions, es
pecially with the Typographical union
The resolution is the outgrowth of this
and the desire of the Methodist Epis
copal church to get in closer touch
with laboring men and women.
