CLEANUP MOVEMENT.
CIubwomen's Plan 10 Make Ballard
Prettiest Suburb Of Seattle, Wash.

Ballard (Wash) clubwomen. assisted
by the Salmon Bay Improvement club,
have started out to make the single
suburb the clcancst and prettiest of
Greater Seattle before the opening Of
the Alaska Yukon-Inciiic fair. Bal
lard is the greatest shingle manufac-
turing center in tho world, and the
mill towns usually are regarded as not
clean, whether they are or not. But
Ballard women, in many instances the
wives Of the mill owners, themselves
are determined to prove that this
aphorism Is not justified in the case
of the north end suburb. The aid Of
the school children, schoolteachers,
business men, city officials and police
department Is to be enlisted in making
the movement success.
1t Is planned to give away 500 in
cash prizes, this sum to be raised by a
house to house canvass by the women,
and the awards are to be made July /.
There will be prizes for the best kept
lawns, parking strips and sidewalks,
kitchen gardens and back yards. Bal
lard is rapidly forging ahead as res
idence district. some of the finest
homes in the city having been built re-
Gently on Brygger bill, Loyal heights
and the northern outskirts.

LinColn's Day.

In commemoration of the Tooth
anniversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, exercises will be held this
afternoon in every school IN the
county, probably in every school in
the state. In the public school of
this city every pupil-from the
youngest up-wili be expected to
take part in the exercises. Most or
them will have short recitation.
The primary class will have short
pieces, some not more than three or
four lines. But every one Will parti
cipate in the memorial exercises as a
fitting recognition of the war presi-
dent, and the services he rendered his
country in the hour of It's peril.

Old Time Incidents.

Winfield j. Davis publishes in the
"Grizzly Bear" a section of news
items cleaned from the California
newspapers of 1853. Some of those
relating to this county are as follows {:
"Coloma was then the county seat
of Ell Dorado county. Early on the
morning of the 10th, as the jailer was
liberating the prisoners from their
cells, he was assaulted and knocked
down. Recovering himself he dis
charged his pistol, the bullet taking
effect in the hip Of one OF the prison
ers who was confined on charge OF
murder and awaiting trial. One man
succeeded in getting out, but was
soon apprehended and returned. The
third one, after the shot was fired,
retreated to his cell.
The Placer Press speaks of a pear
grown in the yard of the sheriff of
Placer county that latitudely meas
ured seventeen inches and longitude
ly fifteen inches. An apple produced
at Coloma, Ell Dorado county, meas
uIed ten inches in circumference
and weighed one pound and ten
ounces.
The mines we're yielding plentiful
Iy. In Mariposa county four miners
took out from newly discovered
quartz vein at Savage Flat $1,000 from
fifty pounds of rock. The vein had
been accidentally discovered by a
party that had been working without
much success in a gluch near by.
From lone the report came that all
of the miners we're doing remarkably
we'll. A claim in Amador county was
sold for $50 and within a week the
purchaser took out S2l0. In another
instance a party who had recently
paid S25 for claim was making Sc a
day. From anoher claim $1,000 had
been taken out within the past year.
lhe Coloma Times spoke OF quartz
lead that had as much the appearance
of a lead of gold as Of quartz. Ia one
piece of quartz rock weighing six and
three.quarters pounds, -four and half
pounds Of gold we're extracted. - Ell

MINING NOTES.

Argonaut. "A meeting of the stock
holders of the Argonaut Mining Com
pany is called for next Monday, for
the purpose of electing boald of
directors for the ensuing year, and
such other business as may properly
come before the meeting. Much of
the stock is held by eastern capital
lists. AS the prospects Of the mine
are very bright, owing to the dis
covery of good ore bodies in several
places. the object in agitating for the
election OF directors is to insure
settled conditions in connection with
the management of the affairs of the
company. Mr. Rainstord in the
general management has made most
satisfactory record. He has cut down
expenses, at the same time brought
the property to such a point that the
outlook for a prolonged period of
dividends is as satisfactory to-day as
at any period in it past history.
Original Amador.- The Original
Amador Mines Co. are bringing in a
large amount of material and machin-
cry. A very large air compressor
arrived the past week and Is being
installed. The stormy weather makes
it very inconvenient for the handling
and placing of such heavy machinery.
Mr. Deaner is pushing matters along
with great force and energy, and after
a little, will make the business hum.

Business Changes.

Rumors of business changes have
been rife during the past week. 1t
was reported that the two leading
hotels-the National and Globe-were
about to change hands. Also that the
We'll building was likely to be sold.
1t was said that s. Vicini and an
other from Sutter Greek we're think
ing of taking hold of the Globe
hotel. That the Chichizola Estate was
contemplating buying the We'll build
ing and starting general store there.
That ID. S. Mason and his brother
from Suisun we're negotiating for
the purchase of the National hotel, or
rather of the interest of Mrs Voor-
heis therein. While all these reports
no doubt had a basis Of truth, the
only one that has eventuated in an
actual sale is that concerning the
National hotel. Mr. Mason, the pro-
prietor of the lone Echo, was here
several days during the fore part OF
the week, looking into the matter.
Mrs VOORHEES, has been anxious to sell
the furniture. good will and lease OF
the premises. The reality is owned
by the Bank of Amador county.
Finally the deal was consummated
and the new proprietor took charge
Wednesday morning. He and his
wife and family came up from lone
Tuesday evening, to take up their
abode In this city. Mr. Mason Is
highly spoken of as a progressive
business man. With able help he
expects to look after the business in
all its details. The Ledger welcomes
the new proprietor, and there IL no
doubt they will do we'll In their new
sphere. The National enjoys the re-
putation Of being the best holstery in
the Mother Lode region, and the aim
the high standard it has so long en-
joyed in the estimation Of the travel .
ing public.
The facts about the reported sale Of
the We'll building are about as fol-
lows: L. j. Burrow, in behalf of
some party or parties in the back
ground, made inquiries about the
purchase of the property. The price
given at first was considered reason
able enough, but for some reason.
when the matter came to be closed,
| ino ha
price, and so the deal fell through.
Mr. We'll thinks the sale may go
through yet. That the Chichizola
Estate Is behind the negotiation
seems to be mere conjecture and
gossip

Strange Disease Among Horses.

On the Avise ranch, couple of
miles east of this city, a peculiar
malady has lately:appeared among the
horses. 1t is thought to be some
form of poisoning, the exact nature
OF which is at present unknown.
Two horses of his band died from the
disease last Tuesday, and the others
are reported to be sick. The animals
become paralyzed, the symptoms be-
ing very similar to those in case OF
ptomaine poisoning in a human be-
Ing. The attack quickly develops.
and little can be done to relieve the
sufferer. A post mortem examina-
tion by surgeon failed to discover
the exact cause of death. The con-
tents of the stomach of one of the
victims may be sent to the city ..for
chemical analysis. So far the malady
has not appeared elsewhere than on
the ranch named. Farmers should be
on the alert for the symptoms of any
strange affection among their horses
or cattle, and report any thing they
may notice IN this direction.

best friends. There are many wise
Japanese in the Mikedo's Kingdom
that would be counselors of peace in
opposition of the rabble of the lower
classes, incapable of summing up the
awful results of attacking as formid-
able a nation as the United States.
Some people regard it as almost
sacrilege to comment unfavorably
upon the presidents course. for one
have but very little faith in this
diplomatic farce. If we allow Japa-
nese to come to this country without
restriction we might as we'll go to
sleep content over the situation, for
they will get away from their native
country as traitor from an army.
AS to taking issue with the president,
we have a right as free men to do so.
The crowned head in Europe is cur
tailed in his ambition by the people
he rules, and is in a great measure
held responsible to them. They are not
absolute. They tremble many times
at the attitude of the populace.
