A County investment

Jhe board OF supervisors at their
last meeting passed an order for the
purchase OF a typewriter that has
according to the minutes performed
service in the district attorney g
Office for the past ten years, paying
the sum OF 500 therefor. At the pre-
Vious meeting, it seems, 1t was re-
solved to purchase an up-to date type
writer for use in the district attof-
ney 8 office, the same of course to be
the property of the county. Ibis
action, however, was rescinded at the
March meeting, and the program
changed so that the county gets the
ten year old typewriter for the price
OF new one. The reason given for
this action Is, according to the re-
solution itself, that the typewriter
has been used OH county business by
the officials for the past ten years.
Ihe inference is, that because it has
been practically worn out in the
public service therefor the county
should pay for it at Its first cost on
the strength Of its past usefulness,
and without regard to its present or
future efficiency. Truly, that will
strike the average reader as woGderfuI
logic. A second hand typewriter
can be bought for from $40 to S25.
thoroughly oVerhauled and repaired :;
why the county should pay Sl0O for
such machine is beyond compre-
hension. The fact that it has been
wholly or partially worn out by a
county official is anything but a
valid argument. The officials are
paid salary which is in full COM
pensation for all services rendered.
The reasoning process is just about
on par with the notion that because
the material in printing office has
been made second hand by county
work. therefore, the county Treasury
ought to be called upon to furnish
new outfit.

The Bids for City printing.

We present the bids submitted by
the Amador Ledger and the Amsdor
Dispatch for doing the city printing
for the ensuing year. We have no
hesitation in saying that on the bids
as they stand, if tested by the correct
rule of the quantity of printing of
each kind that the city Will require
during the year. the Ledger bid is
many dollars lower than the Dis
patch. It is we'll known that con-
siderable advertising must he done by
the city, and yet the bids are footed
up on the basis OF one single square
of advertising for three insertions.
Instead of that hundreds of squares
are required in the course of the year.
which would bring the Ledger the
lowest bidder by scores of dollars.
The bids are as follows:

jackson Baseball Club.

The Jackson baseball club was
organized about two weeks ago, for
the purpose of conducting the base
ball games here durIDg the approach
ing season. This business has for
several years been in the hands of the
jackson social and athletic club,
which has either gone out of eXls-
tence as a separate organization, or is
dormant. 1he new club has leased
the baseball grounds from Geo. w.
Brown. and is having the grand stand
repaired, the roof having been blown
off by the high wind of last month.
Other improvements are to be made.
The officers of the club are Drs. Endi-
colt and Gall and z. l.. CassineIli,
directors; K. /. Kerr. treasury and
secretary; S. N. SpagnoIi, manager.
IT is believed that a strong team
will be made up to represent Jackson,
with several new players, and that a
series of interesting games will be
arranged for the local diamond to en-
liven the coming summer months.

Fell From Porch, and Fatally Hurt.

Mrs j. Bess, who lives on the Jack
son Gate road, near the California
hotel, had fatal accident last
Sunday by fall. She was engaged
in conversation with her next door
neighbor, Mrs Genaro, and was lean
ing on the railing of the porch on the
south side, Suddenly, the railing
bro ke, and she fell head Iirst to the
ground, 10 feet below. She struck
among some shrubbery around the
Hover bed, and on this she struck on
her back. She was rendered uncon-
scious, but partially rallied at inter
walls, but really never fully recovered
consciousness. DIS. Eudicut and Gall
were summoned. 1t was found that
she had sustained injuries of a fatal
character. Monday morning she was
paralyzed, the spinal column evident
ly being involved in the injuries. The
victim was tleshy woman, weighing
probably 100 pound, and this fact had
no doubt bearing upon the serious
character Of the injuries sustained
The unfortunate victim of this mis-
hap died Monday evening, about six
O'Clock. The doctors held out no
hope of her recovery from the outset.
The spinal column was broken, and
the body below the point of the
fracture was paralyzed
Her only child, a married daughter
named Mrs Pearoe, by remarkable
combination of circumstances, arrived
Sunday evening with the intention
of spending a short visit with her
parents. Of course she was unaware
of the fatal mishap that had befallen
her mother until she reached here.
1t seems Mr. Pearce's mother died
recently in Butte City, Montana.
Mr. and Mrs Pearce accompanied the
remains to California, it being
arranged that the interment should
be at San Jose, where the deceased
had relatives buried. While Mr.
Pearce went on to San Jose, Mrs
PeaIce came on to jackson to see her
folks, only to find her mother close
to the end of lIfe's journey. After
seeing his own mother laid away in
lithe grave Mr. Fearce came on to jack
son to the last sad rites over his
wife's mother.
The fuDeral took place on Thurs
day. Services were held in the M. E.
church, Rev. L. II. Nicholas otticiat-
ing. large audience listened to a
feeling discourse. The choir sang,
and Mrs Z. q. Bole rendered a touch
ing solo. The remains we're consign-
ed to the grave in the city cemetery.

The Worms Disappearing.

f. s. McCulloh of Forest Home.
was in jackson early this week. lie
says the worms which have been
menacing the farming and stock
interests for several years, have been
very numerous in his section, and
have resulted in much damage to the
natural feed on lands adjoining his
range. AT the present time, however,
the worms are developing into the
crane fly. They are noticed in
myriads, and as soon as hatohed their
power of mischief to the grass is
gone. They soon disappear to other
places. But of course the eggs Of
the worm remain in the ground, to be
hatched the following season, with a
repetition of the mischief. From this
time on, he saws, thf grass Will be
uninjuIed by this pest. The season
being favorable, there will undoubt-
edly be a fine crop of natural growth
for stock.
