the state tax. Here Is the consumma-
ton Of the program advanced by the

eight years il has reached completion.

ty ought and should immediately arrange to employ someone to look after it's property. No citiz. en of the county would think for a moment of erecting such ! building without doing this and neither should the county attempt to do so.
 The writer believes that the officers who occupy the building will in some measure do what they can, but does not think for a moment that any one of them will keep it as it should be kept and does not think that they should be asked to do the work. There are duties connected with the upkeep of this building that they will not do.
 This article is written from a desire to see our town and coun- ty prosper and not from any de sire to to criticise the action of any officer of the county. If the officers feel that there is a gen. eral demand from the people for Janitor 1 feel sure they would be only too glad to comply with the wishes of the people.

A very interest ing game is anticipated at this time as the team at this placed will consist of Prescott's best ball players and the Gudon nine is composed of the best play CTS from that place. An effort is being made to perfect an organization of a bali team for Prescott and there is every req. son to believe that it will be successful. There are num- Der really excellent ball players here who want to indulge in this national sport and with a little encouragement, financially; we can have a real good amateur team.

CAN THE COUNTY AFFORD
 TO HIRE A JANITOR

Nevada County has Court House that would do credit to any county in the State. The writer is not advised as to the exact cost, but his understand ing is that the total cost is some thing over $60.O0O.OO, everything included. We are told by strangers who visit us and by lawyers who ought to know, that for convenience and architectural beauty, the Court House is far in the lead of anything iii this section of the state.
 The writer believes that the people of the county want the building kept clean at all times, as we'll as the grounds now being graded. To keep the building and grounds in proper shape, it will require the time of a Janitor employed by the county to give his whole time to the work. The question naturally presents it. self, can the County afford to employ one?
 The writer believes that for the amount invested by the county in the building, that a matter of $3OO.0O or even $500.- co year would be a saving in the long run, and that the coun-
