MATTLEY LAID
TO HIS REST
Short Illness Terminates
Fatally for Well Known
RdnCher

After a short illness of few days,
John Mattley, aged 40 years, son of
David Mattley of Jackson, died at his
home on Suffer street, on Saturday
last, while suffering from pneumonia.
Mattley had been blowing on the
Mattley hill, just back of his home
for the past week, and it is supposed
that it was while engaged at this
work that he contracted the cold which
settled on his lungs, terminating in
lung fever, and his untimely death.
On Friday night when Mrs Mattley,
his wife, and several relatives were
conversing In their home, the hus-
band, who was of strong physique, in
dellrious spell, jumped out of bed
and took his overalls saying that he
must finish his blowing. He overcame
the kind friends who attempted to
prevent him from leaving the house,
and went out into the darkness in his
bare feet. 1t required the strength of
6SFSl al lliOH W SaPbdlC MIN dllu IGOuIu
him to his bed. This exposure no
doubt had much to do in fastening the
end.
A wife and two sons survive the de-
ceased, David, aged 20, and Roy aged
IL. He is also survived by his par
ents, and four brothers, JOSEPH, AL
bert, Dave and George.
The funeral services were held on
Monday last, at st. Patrick's church,
at 2 o. clock in the afternoon.
The pail bearers were; Gus Lave
rome, Virgilio Belluomini, Sam Har-
ris William Brewer, Pete PIasse and
VIM. Carley.
A large concourse Of relatives and
friends gathered at the house, and the
funeral cortege moved from there to
the church where mass was said. The
body was then inferred in the Catholic
cemetery. Father Gleason held the
obsequies at the grave.

A. U. o. ID. Grand Lodge
For Jackson.

An effort is being made to have the
grand lodge OF the Order of Druids
held in Jackson in 1872 r. Beluzzi,
one of the prominent men ofsthe order
here, is working hard to that end.
Accommodations for at least 500 per-
sons will be necessary, and Mr. Beluzzi
has been around to private families,
hotels and boarding houses to see if
sleeping accommodations can be had
for that many. Such an addition to
our population would no doubt stretch
our capacity In this line TO the utmost,
but there is no question that that mum,
Der could be taken care of in credit
able manner. The CANVASS OF the
matter has sufficiently settled that
fact. The grand lodge Will give an
impetus to all branches of business for
a week or more. The place of location
will be settled at the grand lodge
which meets next year, but those who
are behind the move in favor of Jack
son are collecting all necessary data so
as to be prepared to present the case
fully and fairly when the proper time
comes.

Why Jackson Should
Have the High School.
(Communicated)

kCOHmunlCdbeu)
At an election held November Z,
1910, the people of Amador county de-
cded they were in favor of a county
high school, and the momentous ques
tion is, where shall the high school
be located
To the people of Amador county we
submit some facts why the city of
jackson should be selected as the site
of this school.
Jackson is the oldest sister, social
prestige is hers. Here is located the
seat of county government. We are
an Incorporated city with an area of
Ia square miles and population of
$500. Jackson is the most prosper
GUS, permanent and picturesque
mountain town on the Mother Lode. -
Her mines are among the heaviest
gold producers in the state, one of
which, the Kennedy, is the deepest in
the United States. The payroll of
these mines is $50, 900 per month,
which is at least $4,000 greater than
any other town in the county. Jack
son need not depend alone on her
mines but in the vicinity of jackson
are copper, marble, granite, sand
stone, timber, fine farms, orchards,
vineyards, and being the county seat
is enough to insure her to be always
the leading city of the county. We
have good hotels and banking facili-
ties. Almost every business and pro-
fesslon is represented, four churches,
twenty fraternal societies, up-to- date
business houses and residences. Her
manufacturing concerns are: machine
shops, printing offices, soda works,
gas and ice plants, macaroni and
candy factories. Our public schools
offer unsurpassed educational facili-
ties. We are city of homes under
whose parental roofs are housed 512
school children. In adjacent districts
are 26l school children, making a total
of 773 school children in the immediate
vicinity while in our sister town
there are 248 school children and in
districts contiguous to her are 281
school children making total of 500
school children. Shall the 773 children
be made subservient to the 500 of our
neighboring town?
The taxable property of Jackson is
81, 981 007, while that of Suffer Creek
and Amador City is S1,912,O21, Show
ing that jackson is assessed for
1868. 1856 more than the other two
towns combined.
Jackson is located in the center of
population and wealth of the county.
From Jackson comes the far greater
number of graduates who would be
likely to attend the high school.
Patrons coming to the county seat to
attend to official business could have
the pleasure of visiting their children
who are attending the high school.
Now in view of the facts as given,
and in order to have a high school
wUr by of the name, and one that will
be credit to our county, will you not
agree with US that the seat of our
county government is the proper place
to locate the high school,
Mr. Voter, let us not lose sight of
the aim for which we are aspiring.
A high school that will meet the
hopes of the people who are weIcom-
ing 1t, and giving it their support.
1t is only under such favorable con-
ditions as Jackson sets forth that a
high school can claim fitness for exis-
tence if 1t would endure as an institu-
ton Of the future.

BACK TO UNCLE SAM.
Title to Valuable Coal Lands Reverts
to the Government.

Seattle, Jan. 27.-United States Dis
trict Judge Cornelius H. Hanford has
decided that title to 1,024 acres of val
liable coal lands in Lewis county,
claimed by P. c. Richardson, and sew
eral members of the R. A. Wilson
family, all of Seattle, should revert
to the government. This is the land
referred to by L. r. CLAWS in his tes-
timony before the Ballinger-Pinchot
committee. Litigation and negotia-
tions over these lands have been in
progress for eleven years.
In February, 1899, r. A. Wilson and
his son George B., fled a declaratory
statement on the northwest quarter
of section 10 township Is, Lewis coun-
ty. and about two years later Wilson
conceived the idea of obtaining title to
1,O4O acres of coal land in the vicin-
ity. Half a dozen member of the
Wilson family filed claims. Then they
sought to buy the land from the gov
eminent and in order to raise the nee
eSSary funds they interested P. c.
Richardson of Seattle, who invested
$4,000 and the Wilson's and Richard
son organized the Sterling Coal COM
pany. The claims were committed and
the land office was paid for 800 acres
of the land. The Wilson's, according
to sworn testimony, put the money
received from Richardson to their own
use, and, after a meeting in Portland,
attended only by R. A. Wilson and
George Wilson. another company,
called the Wilson Coal Land company,
was formed, which left Richardson
out in the cold.
Richardson entered suit against the
Sterling Coal company for his share
but the action was dismissed in 1905
by Judge Hanford on the ground that
the Sterling company was an Illegal
combination. 90 ~
The government Investigated the
whole case, held up the applications
pending for the requirement of title
to the remainder of the 1924 acres.
and eventually entered suit for the
recovery of the original 800 acres.
