Owing to the prevalence of measles
among the children of lone the trus-
tees have ordered the schools closed
for the week at least. The disease
appears in mild form, and there does
not appear to be much danger, still the
trustees thought best to close the
schools for time in order to more
effectuallv stamp out the malady No
serious cases have been reported so
far. Echo.
The United States lost its place as the
greatest wheat producing country in the
world and Russia has won that dis
tinction Even though last year the
total Weld of wheat in the United States
was next to the largest in the history of
American agriculture, only the crop of
1901 having exceeded it, Russia last
wear produced the remarkable havest or
7S3, 000, 600 bushels, which constitutes
the largest crop ever harvested by any
country, and 26,000,00 bushels greater
than that of the United States. -Ex-

There is petition being ciculated to
have the supervisors remove certain
gates and make public road across a
piece of the Mclaughlin Co. land lead
ing from the county road in Calaveras
to the county road in San Joaquin and
Amador county Removing these gates
would be a great convenience to the
public but would be of still greater
benefit to Wallace, as there are several
ranchers across the river in Amador
county who would trade there more than
they do if the gates were removed. This
particular piece of land that the gates
were on the past few years the gates
hive been removed and an open road
made and fenced. Where the gates are
now located is on the railroad land where
there have been no gates, at least during
the past ten years. If a spirit of give
and take had been observed in this
neighborhood it seems to us that this
trouble could have been settled some
time ago. Prospect.
