II must have been Barton county
man who visited Larned and gave
them their slogan, Everybody Likes
Larned."
Judge c.. E. Lobdell responded to

Creek Flooded

Middle fork of Jackson creek was
flooded on Tuesday morning with
water sent from the reservoir at New
York Ranch. The creeks bed at this
city has been nearly dry for several
weeks, and the city's sweerage was
sent into the creek and allowed to dis
solve in the scorching sun, sending off
odors that were almost intolerable.
The washing of the creek brings to
the city a freshness that is appre-
ciated by all those who live near the
stream.

A Costly System.

The public charge imposed by the
direct primary law is something
enormous. 1t will cost every county
in the state more to conduct the pri-
mary election than the general cleo
tion in November. In some counties
the papers are publishing in full the
ticket to be voted in every precinct.
In Sacramento, for instance, the ad-
vertising of the official ballots requires
over 80 pages of the Sacramento
Union. which amounts to over 200
columns of tabular matter. At legal
rates the cost of this would run up in
to several thousands dollars for each
issue. With the printing of the index
register, and other election supplies,
the new law hits the several county
treasures pretty hard. To offset this
expense, each candidate pays small
fee, $40 for county offices, toward de-
fraying the cost. The aggregate col
lected in this way will not foot up one
tenth of the actual expense.

EngIebright a Worker

Republicans should not fail to vote
for w. F. Englebright for nomination
to congress from the first district.
He has served the district well, and
we can see nothing to be gained by
making change in the nominee. His
opponent for the nomination is the
present superior judge of Del Norte
county, and would have to surrender
his present Office if nominated and
elected.
Englebright is the friend of the
minre. He has looked after their in.
terest in congress in every possible
way. AS a matter of self-interest
they should vote to keep him where he
is. We want workers in congress. II
is in committees where the most
effective work is accomplished, not or
the floor of congress. Englebright
can hold up his endboth as an energetic
worker, and in debate.

Concert by Band

The concert given by the Jackson
Military band last Sunday evening,
under the direction of Archie S.
Moore, was greatly appreciated sby
large audience, which assembled in
front of Loves hall. Moore has, by
his active, earnest work in the short
space of time spent in the town, gotten
together as clever an orchestra as one
could wish to hear, and has serveral
engagements booked for dances and re-
ceptions. In a conversation with the
new leader, we were informed that
Jackson's musical talent is of ex-
ceptionally good caliber and with an
instructor and booster such as Moore
has thus far proven himself to be,
Jackson can rest assured that she will
in the near future, have an orchestra
and band that will command attention
anywhere.

Democratic Committee
Holds Meeting

A meeting of the democratic county
central committee was held IN the
supervisors room on Sunday morning.
The object of calling the members to-
gether was to talk over matters for
the welfare of the party. 1t was a
stormy meeting, however, and in its
outcome did not tend to promote har-
mony. The true inwardness of the
move was apparent when a motion
was introduced to fill the vacancy in
the Office of school superintendent on
the democratic ticket, it being sug-
gested that a lady in Sutter Creek
would be willing to offer herself on the
altar of sacrifice for the good of the
party, it being admitted that there
was not the least hope of capturing
the Office. The motion created a
breeze, and was finally withdrawn.
Nothing of a practical nature was
accomplished, and the committeeman
departed just as far apart in their
differences as they were before.

MINE NEWS
ALONG LODE
Interesting Accounts of
Mines Located In
AmadOr Co.

After two years of hard work most Of
which was done by A. L. Reale and
the late j. S. Bell the owners, the
tunnel in '49 Flat Gold Gravel Mine,
is in about 600 feet. and two upraises
have been made to gravel. The first
was put up at about 500 feet from the
mouth, and disclosed two feet of rim
gravel which yielded ten cuts in gold
to the pan. The second was put up 45
feet further in and showed the same
character of gravel and the same
value. After this the tunnel was again
resumed and unless the main channel
is encountered soon another upraise
will be made. The property has been
owned by Reale and Bell for the past
25 or 80 years and operated by them
on several occasions during that time,
but always along the creek and north
of the north rim in the spill over.
This part of the flat was very rich in
early times, but 1T was left for Reale
and Bell to solve the theory that the
main ancient river channel was south
of the old workings, running length
wise of the ridge between Rancheria
and Micky Free creeks. AS sooon as
they had made up their minds that
the main channel was further in the
ridge and that none of the old works
had been carried far enough south to
encounter it they went to work and
their development has amply proven
their theory to be correct. At present
there are but three men kept at work,
although if money was more plentiful
in the Reale treasury another shift
would be put on.

Straw Vote

At the republican caucus held in
Jackson last Saturday evening a straw
vote was taken on the choice for
governor, which resulted as follows
Curry 8, Anderson A, johnson l. This
is generally accepted as fair express
sion of the sentiment among republi-
cans of thistownship on the first choice
of voters for governor. Curry is the
prevailing choice, because he is con-
sidered the strongest man for the
general election in November. There
is no objection to Anderson. but he is
deemed less strong then Curry as
against Johnson and the Roosevelt
league outfit, and would not run so
we'll at the general election. The
Curry nominating petition had over 100
names, after looping off a large
number so as to bring it within the
maximum limit allowed by law.
Anderson's petition, we understand,
had between 80 and 40 names attached
thereto.

Johnson RepudiateS
His Party

1T is impossible to conceive, - said
Ralston, that republican voters will
take kindly to the candidacy of man
selected by a small coterie of dis
gruntled members of their party in
secretscaucus, violating the spirit and
letter of the direct primary law which
they claim for their own, and after
having turned down eminent and
worthy citizens who have faithfully
served the public. Nor is it belieVab1e
that Republicans voters, in view of
the manner of Mr. Johnson's selection,
can take kindly to his reputation of
their party by his letter to the re-
publican state central committee
wherein he states in answer to a
simple proper question as to whether
he would support the nominee of the
party whose nomination he is seeking,
that he would determine that when he
found out who the nominees were.
At every public crossroad in Cali
fornia Mr. Johnson has stopped his
automobile long enough to utter vile
denunciation of president Taft. Loyal
republicans of California are resenting
this, because they do not agree with
him.
