It seems that, under previous regimes when the engineer chief issued an order. there would always be someone to tell him how the order could not be executed or to show him some better way of doing it. And perchance the thing would not be done at all or may hap the better way would be essayed. It was a few days after Colonel Goe- thals had assumed charge of affairs that he had occasion to issue an order Directly appeared a Voluble division superintendent who came to tell him how impracticable it was to carry out the order The army man listened while the other argued. Eventually the Yoluble one exhausted all of his argu- ments and cheerfully Opined that the colonel had been brought to his way of thinking. 'I hope. sir" he concluded.

 But I was not arguing" came the calm reply. 'I was issuing an order Kindly see that it is Obeyed.
 The man who has charge of 30,0O0 men. and on his hands the greatest en- gineering work of the century, must needs have many things to think about One of the conspicuous traits of this officer IS that he has time for every thing Not long ago one of the canal officials sought out the colonel and represented to him that the work on a certain building which was under con struction in the canal zone and which was to have been completed on Sep tember 15, was proceeding. so, slowly that the work would probably not be done before the end of the year. Get into my carriage" the colonel said to his caller; well drive over to the building and see about it. Arriving at the building the foreman was sum mOned. This house." said the colonel. in his usual quiet manner. "is to be ready on September 15." Whereupon the foreman called high heaven to witness how impossible it was to have the work done by that date.

 The dazed foreman gasped and. after recovering his breath. managed to stammer We will do the best we can. sir"
 Still" said Colonel Goethals in his even voice. you did not understand me; what I said was that the house is to be ready on September 15''
 It is a matter of record that the house was ready on time. and no one who is familiar with Colonel Goethals and his methods doubts but that the canal will also be ready on time

THE MASTER MIND WAS
 PUT ON HE JOB

1 It was after three railroad engineers ' had, for one reason or another, resigned ! from the big undertaking to which they
 had from time to time been appointed, that the government did what it might very well have done in the first place. says a writer in Harper's Weekly. Wal lace. the first engineer who undertook
 the work of constructing the canal, threw up the job for reasons best known tO himself He was succeeded by Stevens, who went the way of his
 predecessor, via the resignation route. Shonts was next to be appointed chair man of the canal commission and chief engineer of the undertaking. Shonts resigned. When the news was brought to Washington, President Roosevelt
 banged his fist upon a table and an
 nounced with much heat that he would appoint a man who would stay on the job until he said he could quit. Thus it
 came about that Colonel Goethals. a member of the engineer corps of the army. was detailed for She work. Pre- Yiously to his selection for this con- spicuOus office the army man had nev
 CT emerged from the obscurity of every day work well done 1t was therefore among the possibilities that he might prove unequal to a task that had al- ready baffled three of the leading en- gineers of the country. But it was a moral certainty that he would not fol- low the course of his three predecessors and voluntarily abandon it. For. while army officers have many virtues. resig- nation is not one of them.
 But the colonel made good. Those closely associated with him and who from a knowledge of his capabilities, his energy and his sterling character. had recommended his appointment, knew that he would. Those of the ca nal zone who knew nothing of the man

Services at the
Episcopal Church

Rev. John T. Shurtlef, preached a
very intcre2ting sermon at the Episcopal
church, Jackson last Sunday morning.
The subject was taken from the Saith
chapter of Genesis and the 9th verse
While was in the way the Lord led
me. " The text was composed with the
life of Elisur, the stuart OF Damascus,
and that of oafer on the street corner,
and the clergyman pointed out most dis
tinCtly how God will assist all those
who are travelling in the way of holi-
ness.
The bishop of Sacramento has de-
putized Rev. Shurtleff to visit all the
churches in this district, and endeavor
to collect $40, 1000, which will be added
to the $4,000 already subscribed, and
which is intended to be used in max
ing this diocese self sustaining
Rev. Shurtleff informs us that the
bishop will in the near future send a
pastor to the Jackson church.

JACKSON TRIMS
COMANCHE
Game Was Won by Score
of 9 to B in Favor of
Jackson

Many new features of the possibilities
OF Jackson S baseball team were brought
out in the game with Camanche, on
Saturday last, at lone.
This was the hardest team Jackson
has met this season, and although the
score was 3 to in .Jackson's S favor
the latter had to work hard to keep the
opponents under hand Arditto really
deserves credit for winning the game,
as it was pitchers battle, and the only
pitcher in the battle was Arditto. Had
the Camanche team used Jackson's
pitcher, or one like him, the score
against the local would have BEEN con-
Siderably different, as the rest of the
Camanche team played excellent ball.
A very remarkable play was pulled off
by Myers, who covered left field A
clean ball was sent out into his territory
and after a good chase after it, LETT
fielder caught it, and at the same time
threw it perfectly true to home plate,
putting runner out at the plate.
Vela, the center field hero, is also
showing great shape. His batting is all
that can be expected, and he brings down
every reasonable ball that reaches his
section.
Fortner is fast becoming a star at
catching, his team work and good judg-
ment were used to advantage all through
the game. Fortner also bats hard ball
and is good runner.
A decision by umpire Kirby, nearly
resulted in a repetition of the Suffer
Greek and Jackson game. Skellv was
on the second base and tried to steal
third, when the ball was thrown over
the plate, the batter struck a foul tip
and ran for first base, he was put out at
first, but Skelly, who saw the ball in
action did not return to second but
stole third. The ball was thrown TO
second base, and the runner declared
out. A wrangle ensued and the
Camanche players were about TO pack up
and leave, when Jackson allowed them
the put out which retired the team for
the inning.
The game was very much enjoyed BY
all who attended, and was one of the
leading events of the picnic
While the team is all that can be ex-
pected, the methods of those who
manage the teams welfare is proving to
be decidedly wrong The official score
keeper, r. Scott, employed by the Dis
patch, is allowed to hold the score book
as private property and he having per-
sonal animosity against the Ledger re-
fuses to allow us to copy for our readers
who attend the game, a record of the
teams work.

Picnic Proved
"A Grand Success

The picnic held at lone last Saturday
was a success throughout the entire pro-
gram.
The Knights of Pythias lodge, No.
48, had charge of the event, and deserve
great credit for giving those who at
tended, all the enjoyment they could
wish for The morning was devoted to
parade, which started at l0:30. The
Uniform rank, X. of P, several floats
beautifully decorated, and the Foresters
of America, were part of the long line
of marchers. The Jackson Military
band headed the procession. A game of
ball between the Jackson K. Of p. and
lone K. of P, was won by lone team.
A large dance platform was erected IN
the park, and here the band furnished
music for those who desired TO dance,
A shoot, cowboy race, buggy race and
baseball game were the leading features
of the afternoon.
At 4p. M, the center of attraction
was Main street, where all kinds of
races we're INDUCED in. The closing
features of the program was dance
held in the pavilion This was largely
attended, and lasted until the early
hours of Sunday morning.
Several trains were run from Martell
to lone, carrying passengers from Sutter

rlages at the local liyeries were engaged
by Jackson S young folks who attended
the picnic.

Drummers Win
Base Ball Game

Last Sunday afternoon Jackson local
sports were treated to a game of ball,
which was all that could be expected
under the circumstances.
Several old baseball enthusiastics,
who are now on the road travelling as
statesmen, met at the National hotel, and
upon learning that no game was to be
played in Jackson on that day, scraped a
team OF drummers together, and in them
challenge anything in Jackson. DR..
Endicott, who carries a considerable
amount of blue blood in his veins, ac-
cepted the offer, and immediately pro-
ceeded to get team together. The two
teams were secured, and the game was
started with the understanding that the
losing side would have to pay for car
riage hire and supper.
The game was called at 2.3O, and
started with all the pomp and dignity
that cansgrace baseball diamond
The commercial men had the advan-
tage it seems throughout the entire
game, by having fresh pitcher al
though the doctor fought every inch of
the ground, and was by no means a de-
feated hero at heart, although one in
reality, as far as his team was con-
cerned, as the score stood 10 to II in
the travellers favor
Several grand stand plays were made,
and the large crowd that attended the
unheralded game, we're we'll satisfied
with the playing of both teams.

DITCH TENDER
FOUND DEAD
Tobia FerraSCi Discover.
ed In Canal Above
Petty Reservoir

Tobia Ferrasci, ditch tender for the
Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation,
whose beat extended above the Petty
reservoir for several miles, was found
dead in the canal, at a point about
quarter of mile above the Petty reser-
voir, about o'clock Monday morning,
under circumstances that left no room to
doubt that he met his untimely end by
accidental falling into the ditch.
About three years ago terrible Gala
nifty befell the Ferrasci family, all the
members of the family then seven in
number being seized with mysterious
sickness after partaking OF some home
preserved beans. The sickness was
dignosed as ptomain poisoning, caused
by the beans. Ferrasci alone escaped
severe sickness, he having partaken of
the meal verv sparingly. Four of the
famiIy-Mrs Ferrasci and two children,
boy and girl and also a niece, Miss
Amelia Cattni, died. Mrs Canonica,
a neighbor, partook of the fatal dish,
and also perished, making five victims.
One other child, belonging to Mrs
Canonica, lived through the ordeal,
after desperate struggle with the
strange maladv. The tragedy left Fer
rasci and three children constituting the
family. After this calamity Ferrasci
deemed it advisable to leave the place
associated in his mind with such
awful memories He went to Reno, but
afterwards came back to California,
finding employment in Butte county.
About one year ago he returned to ANA
dor, and resumed his position as ditch
tender on his old beat above Clinton,
the family occupying the same premises
as formerly, the oldest daughter-a girl
of about twenty years, having charge of
the household and looking after her two
sisters, aged about nine and six years.
