Suffer Creek Among
Progressive Ranks

County superintendent of schools,
w. II. Greenhalgh. and F. A. Ball,
principal of the Suffer Creek grammar
school, met with the Woman's I'M
provement club high school committee,
at the residence of Mrs Bayliss c..
Clark on Monday evening last, and
disc used the ways and means of con-
Quoting the coming compaign for the
high school.
A mass meeting has also been
called, and will be held in Suffer
Creek on the 18th of October. Many
prominent speakers will be called on
to address the meeting from various
towns throughout the county. And
leading educators from different parts
of the state will be on hand to urge
the proposition.
After the mass meeting, a grand
ball will be held for the purpose of
raising funds to defray the expense
necessarily incurred by the campaign.
Many interesting ideas were adj
vanced on the kind of a high school
best suited for the practical education
Of the children of this county.
A POLYTECHNIC high school seemed to
be the most favored by the committee
considering the matter including a
business course for the students. This
important question is to be decided by
the trustees of the coming high school.

Expresses His Opinion

Editor Ledger-Your criticism of
the board Of supervisors was certain
ly to the point. Everybody this way
is now saying that the supervisors are
up against it sure this time; also the
sheriff for his insult to the press re-
preventative before the board.
Mr. Gregory is a servant of the
people, and in no way whatever had
he the right to make the remarks he
did while in the performance of his
duties. 1t looks like a sure case that
some one has shown and is showing
favortism. Certainly the board of
supervisors may wake up some day in
the near future and find that they
have been asleep; that its up to them
now to redeem themselves and the
promise they gave when they ran for
Office that would do all in their power
to give the people square deal"
had very interesting talk with
the manager Of Richards electric
theatre, and he said there must be
something wrong somewhere. as after
the decision of the board of supervisors
clearing Mr. Ratio from paying licence.
and right after the meeting the
sheriff came to Suffer Creek and col
lected the first week $40 and the
second week another $40, This seems
an unjust piece of business. In closing
the manager of Richards theatre SAID
he has made protest in paying $40
for license, because of the fact that
Ratio is coming to Suffer Creek to
start show in opposition, and if he
can show free and Mr. Richards not,
why then Mr. Richards VIII certainly
have to close up shop.
Mr. Richards wants it known that
he is no tax dodger, that he is willing
to pay his share. That since he
started his new place in Suffer Creek,
he has had only four nights which were
advertised two weeks that gave vaude-
vile performance, that he is willing
to pay the county for that-but 500
license is outrageous under the circum-
stances. Mr. Richards thinks that
someone has made a mistake and at
the next meeting of the board matters
pertaining to this question will be
setted satisfactorily to all parties.
Yours for square deal.

THE SHEREFF'S
BIG SALARY LIST

Few in Amador county have any idea
of the amount of money that has been
drawn by U. S. Gregory, the present
incumbent of the sherff's office and
candidate for reelection, from the
county treasury and other sources on
account of the emoluments of office.
1t is natural for a man to want to hold
on to a fat job as long as he can, and
no official can be censured for receiving
all that is coming to him under the
law. If he is paid too literally for his
services, that is somebody else's look
out more than his. At the same time,
monopoly of good thing in the way
Of office holding should not be en-
Outraged.
u. S. Gregory was elected sheriff
for the first time in 1892, and took his
office in January, 1893 He has been a
candidate for reelection on the demo.
cratic ticket at every election since,
and has held the office continuously
ever since, with the exception of one
term of four years, when defeated al
the polls by r. K. Norman. So with
the end of the present term he has helc
this Office for fourteen wears. A close
examination of the record shows that
during this time he has drawn from
county treasury as follows:
Salary as sheriff, IA years. at
S4250 per year $50, 500
Salary as tax collector, $500 yr. 7,00(
Commissions, ETC., as license
collector 1873
Travelling expenses, board of
prisoners. etc. IL, 49,
Total S86, 81
This is a fairly good haul for on
man from Amador taxpayers, but it il

The sheriff is paid S. per day and trav

to the state prisons, and compensation
, taking insane persons to the asylums

Services Well Attended

st. Augustine's church was crowded
to its capacity on Sunday evening to
hear the rector Thos Shea. This was
an elegant opportunity to hear the
Episcopal minister for the faithful
who attend the Methodist services, as
their pastor, the Rev. Nicholas, is at
Pacific Grove, attending the annual
conference held there.
Both the parishes at Jackson and
Suffer Greek are reported to be in
flourishing conditions under the head
of the new clergyman.

northern Europe, and this should be re-
assuring to those who are fearful Of the
perils from immigration. The plea of
the speaker for better treatment, more
hospitality for these newcomers at the
hands of the native stock, is one that
every patriotic citizen will echo If
these men can develop the United States
In the various lines Of industry as they
have done and the figures of their good
conduct continue to be increasingly exs
celent, there is no reason why any class
or element in this country should be
ashamed of them or should give them a
cold shoulder The last word has by
no means been said on the immigration
question, nor has probably the last stat
ute reorganization be made; but that
the restrictions against undesirable inn
migrants have been so successfully en-
forced will remove from our view the
bogy of America as dumping ground"
Now we can carry on more confidently
and intelligently, the means to accom-
plish the better training of aliens after
they have come here, so that we may
become more readily adjusted to them
and they to us.-Boston Transcript.

A Prayer for All Mothers.

Walter Rauschenbusch contributes the
following prayer to the December Amer
lean Magazine:
20 God, we offer thee praise and
benedictions for the sweet ministries of
motherhood in human life. We bless
thee for our own dear mothers who built
up our life by theirs; who bore us in
travail and loved us the more for the
pain we gave; who nourished us at their
breast and hushed US to sleep in the
warm security of their arms. We thank
thee for their tireless love, for their
voiceless prayers, for the agony with
which they followed us through our sins
and won us back, for the Christly pow
er of sacrifice and redemption in mother
love. We pray thee to forgive us if in
thoughtless seltishness we have taken
their love as our due without giving
the tenderness which they craved as
their sole reward, and II the great treas
ure OF a mothers life is still spared to
us. may we do for her feebleness what
she did for ours.
we remember before thee all the good
women who are now bearing the pain
and WEAKNESS Of maternity, Be with
them in their travail, and grant them
strength of body and mind for their
new tasks. Widen their vision that
they may see themselves not as the
mothers of one child alone, but as the
patriot women of their nation. who
alone can build up the better future
with fresh and purer life. Put upon the
girls Of our people the awe Of their
future calling that they may preserve
their bodies and minds in purity and
strength for the holy task 70 which the
future may summon them.
"BestoY thy special grace, we beseech
thee, on all women who have the yearn.
ings Of motherhood but whose lives are
barren Of its joys. Ii any form OF
human sin has robbed them Of the prize
Of life, grant them righteous anger and
valiant hearts to fight this sin on be-
half of those who come after them.
Help them 70 overcome the bitterness
Of disappointment, and to find an cut
let for their frustrated motherlove in
tie wider ministrations to all the lone
~ and unmotheref hearts in thy great
family on earth"

Fresh Facts On Our Aliens.

The diners at the Algonquin club last
night when listening to Senator Dilling-
hams address on Immigration were
securing at first hand some of the fresh
est and newest facts and figures possible
on this topic. A large part Of the
senator's address had to do with the
past Of immigration in this country, the
growth Of the southern European con.
tingent and the safeguarding measures
which this country has adopted in the
United States and which it has en-
forced upon the steamship companies
which in turn have caused European
countries TO enact similar measures,
frontier inspection stations, etc, them
selves. With these facts our people
ought to be fairly familiar With the
latter part Of his address, which we
neither his hearers nor our readers could
be intimate, for they are new and hith-
erto largely unpublished. Most Of these
very interesting and well.grouped state
ments are not only important, but are
also very encouraging. The fact that
seventy mine per cent. Of the immigrants
who arrived In New York have railroad
tickets to their destination and that
9712 per cent of them give a definite
American address are certainly clear
showings of keen and intelligent pur-
pose on the part of the newcomers and
of sufficient means to back up that pur-
pose. Novel and interesting was the re-
port on the special industries in which
each nationality dominates--the Irish
girls in laundries, the Swedes in cut
lery, the Slovaks in glassmaking, etc.
The zeal, which almost amounts to a
mania, Of the immigrants of the United
States for good schools for their children
Is shown in the fact that in thirty
cities Of the United States, SIS per cent.
of the whole enrolment are children OF
foreign.born fathers. The city which
leads in this respect is Chelsea, Mass,
where 74.l per cent is the figure. This
is due to the great predominance Of the
Jews in Chelsea, and the ambition of
the Jews for educational advantages is
traditional.
Senator Dillingham; declared what very
few Of us realize, that one.third of the
immigrants to America still come from

MUST SAVE FORESTS.
Graves Says We Are Using Twice as
Much Wood as We Raise.

Washington, Dec Torrent condi-
tons in the waterways of the country
produced by denuding the forest covers
cannot be cured by the mere restoration
of trees, declared Professor Henry s.
Graves United States forester, in adj
dressing the second biennial convention
of the womans national rivers and har-
bors congress, which convened here Mon
day 1T is an engineering problem,
he continued, "to control the water by
artificial means, and, as already proved
in Europe, this is a task of great magni-
tude and vast expense" Discussing the
relation between water and forest con-
.servation, Professor Graves said There
is an exceedingly legitimate relation be-
tween the conservation of forests and
the conservation OF water The forest
is the best natural regulator of the run.
of OF water. ANY system of water con-
servation must therefore include proper
protection of the forest cover at the
headwaters OF the rivers" The forester
stated that since 1870 over 50,000,000
acres had been burned over every year,
with an annual loss OF from $4,000, 900
to sl00,000,000. Telling of the extrava-
CANT use Of the timber supply. Mr.
Graves said that through failure to prac-
tiee forestry Our forests are not produc.
ing by new growth within one-third Of
what we actually use, let alone the
amount lost by fire and by waste"

A Christmas Cake.

"This makes delightful little change
from the conventional ways of distri-
huting gifts" says Katherine Gilman
Gron in the Woman's Home Companion
for December.
Take a medium sized wash-tub-pre-
ferably one that has not been painted.
that the illusion may be more complete
--and when it has been filed with saw
dust, paste tightly and smoothly over
the entire top piece of heavy white
paper large enough to reach down an
inch over the sides. This is to represent
the frosting of the cake. On this frost
ing are pinned or sewed, strings of pop
corn to resemble the raised decoration
usually seen on large cakes at festive
occasions Through little Sits cut in
the paper, stick sprigs Of holly ami
small colored candles, and the represen-
tation Of All ideal mammoth cake will
be complete, The fun comes in when
the top of the cake is cut to allow the
children TO grab for the gifts which are
found, each neatly tied up, hidden in
the sawdust which forms the center of
the cake"
