SAVIN ROCK FOR
 BIG STATE PARK
rroject to Rep ace Waterfront Tor Over a M le Win Long
 Boa GWa.k
COST PLACED AT S25O,OOO
Rep.-Elect Warner, of West Haven, to Present Plan to
 Next Legislature

To make the whole shore front for over half mile on each side of Saw Tn Rock a State park or reservation and to clear off the present bu ld- ings there and put down a board- walk like that ,ai Atlantic City is the plan which will be proposed at the coming session of the General As sembly by Lewis H. Warmer. Repre- sentative-elect from Orange. who one of the greatest summer resorts in New England. Most of the prop erty holders along the shore are in favor of this project and will support the bill wh oh Mir. Warner is planning to put Into the Legislature. It is es- timated that the project will cost about $250. 900.
 The proposition has been in the works for some time and MT. Warner and others have been at work prepar- ing a suitable bill for the object in view. IL Is planned to extend the State reservation or park from Old Aeld shore. which Is at the end of Second avenue. to Bradley Point which Is between Cox's and Waverly Grave. Roughly this Is a distance of about a mile and quarter.
 Most of the property which the State would have to buy In order to carry out this plan Is rather valuable
 
 from $25 to $50 a foot. Directly in front of the Grove It Is probably more valuable than the latter figure and n addition to this there are many build ings which would have to be bought and torn down. On\ the other hand there Is a long strip of land at old field shore owned by the town of orange which the selectmen would undoubtedly give to the State for the furtherance of the plan and un- -doubtedly many of the property hold CTS might also give portions of the'r land as 1t would mean a big increase fin. the values of the rema ming strips.
 The argument that will be advanc- cd In favor of the passage of this bill by the Legislature Is that Savin Rock Is not a local park n the sense that 1t is patronized exclusively by local people. On the other hand it Is stated that out-oftowners are the principal ratrons and t is claimed that 1t Is the only real shore resort of any importance in the State.
 The property which the State would be- called upon to purchase In carry ing out the plan Is owned by num- ber of different persons. The portion

HalIey'S Comet and
Eclipse a Pretty Sight.

Monday night the total eclipse OF the
moon aud Halley's comet presented an
astronomical attraction to the sight seers
that has never been witnessed before by
any living being. In Jackson the night
was beautifully clear. The clouds that
hung in the atmosphere the greater part
of the day. all disappeared as night
came on, leaving clear sky for the
observation of this striking phenomena.
And everyone in town took advantage Of
the occasion to get to some point where
comet and moon could be seen. AS the
face Of the moon became obscured, and
darkness gradually grew deeper, the
comet loomed up a strinkingly beauti-
fully object. The nucleus was not brill
liant as when seen in the eastern sky,
still it beamed out as star Of the first
magnitude, while its tail seemed to
stretch over one fourth the armament.

HOSPITAL GETS
NEW PLUMBING
Building In Bad Need for
Repairs at Present
Underway

Much needed repairs at the county
hospital are under way, and the institu
tion will undergo a complete overhaul
ing under the management of the present
supt,, D. J. Burke.
The pipes furnishing the institution
with water were all found to be in the
most filthy condition inside, and short
pieces of inch pipes were so clOgged
with mud that it was impossible to see
through them. Much of the piping was
laid over 20 years ago and never cleaned,
and conditions were so bad that but a
small quantity of water could be forced
into the building The tanks in the
toilets were half full of mud, and all
badly leaking. These have also been
refined and put in working order. The
new piping is all being so placed as TO
be accessible for any emergency.
Many needed repairs have been allowed
to 60 unflXed in order to keep running
expenses down. This brings the pre-
sent management under expense, which
must be faced, and supt. Burke. is as
far as can be noted, using excellent
judgment in the work of replumbing the
building. The contract has been let to
George Weller, and special attention is
paid to the repiping, by placing stop
cocks etc, at places where they can be
reached, instead of crawl
ing along rafters under porches as was
heretofore the case. This makes the
chances of disaster by fire less pos
sible, and insures better sanitary condi-
tions in tlushing pipes.

Prof. T. F. Erman, a musician of ex-
ceptional ability is stopping in Jackson
for short time, looking over a field of
work which is held out to him, by the
local band. Erman was in charge of the
band at the Preston Industrial School at
lone, about years ago, and since has
been employed by musical house in
San Francisco as an agent, and to take
care of piano tuning departments, etc.
1t is claimed that the professor is an
artist in each instrument he teaches,
which includes all the instruments in
the band and orchestra. The band is
asked tosguarantee a nominal amount in
order to warrant him to leave his pre-
sent employment and come here. This
we learn is not made possible as yet,
owing to lack OF scholars to be had on
piano. etc.

REPUBLICANS
HOLD MEETING
Consider Vacancy On
Board of Super
Visors

A meeting of republican county cen
tral committee was held in the office of
the chairman, DR.. A. M. Gall in lack
son on Tuesday evening. The principal
object of the meeting was to consider
the supervisor question in township
three, vacancy being created by the
death of August Grillo. There were
present at the meeting the following
committeeman. DR.. A. M. Gall W..
D. Durfene, H. E. Kay, from township
one. Clarence Bradshaw, township 3,
and c. E. Richards, from townhio A..
Claud Wilson was represented by proxy
held by c. Bradshaw.
L. H, Cook and F. B. Joyce were
present from township 3, as aspirants
for appointment to fill the vacancy in
the supervisorship. 1t was also reported
that w. E. Smith aud Geo. Miller had
also been mentioned in connection with
that office.
The matter was discussed, the pre-
vaiing opinion being that it would be
unwise for the committee as a whole to
take any action at this time. The ap-
pointment concerned primarily the citi-
zens of township 3, the rest of the
county having merely an indirect in
terest therein. Tie voters of that town
ship would be called upon to elect a
supervisor at the general election in
November; it would therefore be un-

INJURED MINERS
60 TO ENGLAND
Richard of Argonaut and
Donahue of Zeila
Leave Jackson

Sam Rickard and John Donohue left
Jackson Wednesday morning bound for
their native land, England. They were
both miners, the first named employed
at the Argonaut and the other at the
Zeila mine. They were both crippled
severely while engaged in the mine a
few months ago. Rickard had the calf
of one leg badly torn about three months
ago. Grating had to be iesorted to in
restoring the damage. He was laid up
for many weeks, and at the time he
left he was able to get around without a
cane, but the effects of the injury are by
no means entirely removed. A collec-
ton was taken up from the employees,
amounting to over $3.50, and all eX-
penses of surgery and nursing etc,
were paid.
Donohue was treated in an equally
liberal manner at the Zela. His fellow
workers came to his aid and contributed
shift for his benefit The company
also dealt with him literally, and after
reaching his destination he will have
snug balance. Donahue lost his right
arm while at work in the stope. After
firing blast he and his partner went to
the face, neglecting to see that the over
hanging roof was sound A rock fel

that il had to be amputated, The acci-
dent happened in March last. He re-

MINERS UNION
GOES TO WALL
Membership Falls Away
And Expenses Pile
on Charter

Jackson Miners Union, No. lis, w.
F. M, is no more. After stormy
birth, and struggling existence for
seven or eight years, it was compelled
by force of adverse conditions to surren
der its charter, and close up its affairs.
In the prime of its power there were
500 members in the organization, with
other unions in the county, bringing up
the strength of the federation members in
Amador county to fully 1000. But after
the first impetIs of the movement lead
ing to the strike about seven years ago
interest commenced to wane. The
membership began to fall away, and the
revenue to decline. The unions in
other parts of the county, at Suffer
Creek and Amador City, were disbanded
several years ago, the one at Gwiu mine
was disrupted by the closing down of
that mine several years ago. Jackson
union held out to the last. This, how
ever, was being slowly but surely
sapped away by combination of un-
toward circumstances. The last disas-
trous strike over the Interpretation OF
the eight hour law, hastened the in
evitable end.
The membership dropped off so rapid
", that the receipts were no longer able
TO meet the expenses. The payment Of
dues to disabled or sick member became
uncertain, and this helped along the
disorganization. At the last it is re-
ported that less than 20 members were
in good standing, and this was unequal
