Committee, Chairman Republican State Central Dear sir: While by the annul- ment of the Stratum Primary Law proxies are made permissible this Com- mittee earnestly urges the election only of delegates to the State Convention who can and will personally attend. The Convention will be held just pre- ceding a great event in the history of our State. It will not only constitute the opening of the campaign on the part of .the Republican party and ho conducted, in such manner, as will arouse tho fullest interest and enthusi- asm, in which the Committee" will be aided by the people of Santa Cruz, who are proud that a State Convention is to bo held,; for the first time, in their beautiful city, and who. will spare no endeavor to surpass the attractions and hospitality of. other localities in which similar gatherings have . met : in tho. past, but, aside from this, it will antedate but a few days the fiftieth-an- niversary of the admission of California into the sisterhood of States, of which she is the. brightest star. ,Under the auspices of the Nativo Sons of the Gold- en West, this anniversary, marking the half century mile post in our progress, is .to bo celebrated in the city of San Francisco \vitha magnificence befitting the occasion, and no Californiauwho can should fail to be present and par- ticipated ... ;,. \ . -.-.. \u25a0\u25a0..:\u25a0. .- .

To tho Chairman or Secretary of the Republican County Committee of the County* of Amador, ;-• -\u25a0. ;• -:-\u25a0 In due time Mr. Huntingdon- t-and Mark Hopkins became partners. . A few years of association mado them rich, but the wheel of fortuno" was steadily bringing nearer and nearer .to them the opportunities of a great achievement. The need of a transcontinental rail- way had become obvious, and ' Mr, Huntington realized this. . But. "the undertaking was gigantic' Together with his Sacramento friends,' and ;in the face of ridicule, he defrayed tbe expenses of the first surveys. s In 1861 the Central Pacific Railroad Company came into existence, with a capital of $8,500,000. . . . . . . ', . Tho .Southern Pacific was this re- sourceful man's next undertaking," and in 188-1 he organized the Southern Pa- .cific Company of Kentucky. . \ ,<\u25a0\u25a0. This concern operated twenty-six railway and steamship linos. \u25a0 Mr. Huntington was President of : the Southern Pacific Company, and also of the Guatemala Central Railroad, one of the finest lines in Central America.' He was also President of the Pacific Mail Stoamship Company, and his shipyards and drydocks at- Newport News, Va., were among the finost in the world. In his first year of self-support ho earned $84, his board and clothes being included in the contract. ' The incident is of importance from tbe fact that be saved every cent of it and ' because it brings to light \u25a0 othor qualitiesr-rextra- ordinary thrift, patience and . deter- mination which wero in after years to play their part in the building up of a great fortune "- In 1849 he started for California and during his detention on the isthmus for three months, waiting fora northbound ship, he occupied the time in buying and selling merchandise. lie had started with $1,200, but he landed in California with $5,000, . while his com- panions, who had enjoyed themselves after their own fashion instead of his, were "broke." i i--' The death of Coilis P/ Huntington," which took place at Pino Knot Lodge,*' his camp in the Blue mountain region of the Adirondacks, at 11:55 Monday night, came with startling suddenness. He went into the woods August Oth and was apparently in excellent health. At that time he remarked that be had never "appreciated tho woods so much as this season. On Friday "and Satur- day he was about his camp noting tbe progress of improvements which he had been carrying on this year/ : On Sunday be remained at the lodge very quietly, receiving the calls :of several friends from tho noigh boring camps..

During tho day he made no complaint what- ever of illness. Ho retired at 11 o'clock still apparently in tho very 1 best of health. A' few minutes later moans were heard from his room arid an at- tendant immediately went to his'assist- ance. \ Help was^summoned and Re- storatives were applied, ' but Hunting- ton sank rapidly, and in - ten minutes had passed away. , It is supposed that death was caused by heart trouble.* \u25a0'" .

Confidence is now "fully restored aud commerce is being resumed. The business that was diverted to other towns in the county is coming back and in a few weeks normal conditions of trade will obtain. September will no doubt be dull, but in October our full share of business should return*to us and the usual volumn of traffic be fully resumed. Outside of the quarantined families but very few cases have occurred since July 2Oth, and in the quarantined houses —'no' more cases have occurred than anticipated by Sanitary In- spector Look of the State Board of Health and our local Health Officer. As a matter of fact, the epidemic was fully under control the middle of July and the maximum of danger >^t reached and passed. The sick are all doing nicely, and unless -. some'unforseen and unlikely turn of affairs takes place, the last case will have been discharged as cured within a few weeks. Our people have cause for thankfulness that the result of the long siege has been no worse. The / rate of mortality has been extremely light and the injury to business, while bad enough, has not seriously crippled any business concern. Let us all thank God and take courage, and resolve to make A Communication. Mrs. Weller's for style and beauty in hats and dresses. ' 5-4-tf \u25a0 Editor Ledger: This epidemic of smallpox seems to-be assuming propor- tions of such gravity as to alarm-some and to work a groat hardship to many. In depriving them of a market for their hay and grain it deprives them of tho means of a livelihood. Now will your county health officer kindly ox- plain to me why in the name of science, health and prosperity, every man, woman and child resident in Amador county whP has npt already contracted smallpox, has not been vaccinated?" That would surely stop tho spreading of the disease and if correct'informa- tion has been given me the law pro- vides for compulsory vaccination in times of danger from smallpox. ";\u25a0 Hoping that health, may spoedily return .to tho afflicted, I remain still' Tours' for tho prosperity of old Amadpr, : A Citizen. Montgomery was, in thectrly months of 1861, the Capital of the Confederate States, and the guide pointed out to Mr. and Mrs. Kirk a brass plate in front of tho west wing of tho building, which marked the place where Jeffer- son Davis stood when the oath of oltice was administered to him and he took up the burdens of President of the Confederacy. The house where Jefferson Davis lived while in Montgomery was pointed out with conscious pride. Mr. Kirk noticed that the people, particularly those past middle age, reverted to the days of the Old South and war time, and seemod toMivo in tho past. They delighted to recall what had been, and what they had done, rathor than look into the future and tell what they ex- pected or intended doing. He was in- formed that there had been scarcely a change in the old town for over thirty- five years, and that the Montgomery of to-day is tho Montgomery of ante- bellum days. Prom Montgomery Mr. and Mrs. Kirk visited the Tuskageo Normal and Industrial Institute, founded and pre- sided over by Booker T. Washington, the gifted colored man, who is giving the best days of his lifeto the uplifting and ultimate happiness and advance- ment of the negro race in America. Next to the moeting at Charleston tho visit to the Tuskageo Institute was the principal object of Mr. Kirk's visit. He found Booker T. Washington to be a bright, talented and forceful man, whoso hobby was labor. With him the predominant Idea was that employ- ment was necessary to the happiness of the colored race, and he worked to the end that students should, besides re- ceiving an academic education, be thoroughly trained in some ono of the mechanic arts trades. Washington, Mr. Kirk states, is a modest man, and believes in results. Mr. Kirksaid tie was agreeably sur- prised to see the institute in so flpur- ithing a condition. On the grounds proper are fifty-seven separate houses, including cottages, and -of the number are several dormitories and halls which compare favorably with those of tho average university in tho North. The attendance in all departments is about 1,500, but when be was there the pupils of tho academic and normal departments wore away on vacation. The mechanical art departments, how- ever, were running at full blast with over 250 pupils taking instructions. Among the mechanical arts taught arc woodworking, in which the ! wood is laid down in the log and turned out in lino furniture, wagons, carriages or farming utensils: blacksmithing, where furniture, etc., is ironed; machine sh.ops and a foundry, at which tho ironing of various \u25a0 farming implements wore made; house and carraige painting, brick making, tailoring, and others. The girls, Mr. Kirk said, are taught cooking, sewing and general household duties, along with other studies. So far as possible tho school was intended to be self-supporting, but had it not received liberal donations from individ- uals, churches, etc., it wgu}d noyer have been the educational power' it is to-day. Mr. Washington spoke feelingly of iiM Übjoral donations made to tho insti- tution by Collis P. Huntington, Mrs. Huntington and u'thovs, and pf the aid extended by the first Unitariap (Jhui'ch of Boston. Mr. Kirksaid the session of tho Ed- ucational Association at Charleston was a disappointment, viewed from any .standpoint. Interest in tho matter seemed lax, and the members attending did not exceed ii,ooo, as against 15,000 who attended the sessions last year at Los Angeles. Hotel accommodations Avero poor, undrthe local end of the association had expended slight efforts to secure quarters for visitors. Rec- ord-Union. The people of Montgomery, Mr. Kirk said, overflow with the hospitality uni- versal in tho Southern States before the war. Efe and Mrs. Kirk roooived a warm welcome, and regardless of the fact that it was on a Sunday, they were shown the sights. The Capitol build- ing was thrown open to them, and the watchman "said his piece"' inshowing the several offices, nearly equal to Pat Carrigan, who officiates at our own Capitol building, when visitors are around. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk made their first stop after leaving 1 California, at -El Paso, Texas, where they attended the closing days of tho session of the Texas Educational Association. .Thenco they went to Now Orleans where they speDt a day, and from there to Montgomery, Ala., which has tho reputation of being the most typical southern city south of the Mason and Di.xon line.

These men were richly rewarded, and no one should begrudge them {hat reward. At the ripe age of about 79, the last one of this in spite of almost unsurmountable obstacles and in the face of J adverse criticism by their warmest friends, and in spite of political conniving on the part of some who were mercenary, built the Central Pacific railroad, which, being successful, "big four" Crocker, Hopkins, Stanford aud Huntington \u25a0 to obey the summons of the Great Master.

Our representative to China and the of other countries must be rescued. The allied troops are making good headway, and it is reasonable to believe that the rescue will soon be a matter of history. The Chinese are now eager for peace after having, in a way, defied the whole world. Sir Chili Chen Lo Feng Luh, the Chinese minister 1 in London, is quoted as saying that he hoped and believed that peace would be established between China and the powers within the next six weeks. In spite of the bad roads the rescuing army is making' excellent pro- gress. About forty-nine miles from the capital the army en- countered a Chinese detachment which fought for an hour and a half, and then threw down their arms and fled in a panic. . Our people are anxiously awaiting the result of this march on to Peking, and hoping that those imperiled will be saved without the loss of one. 1... N. Keagle of Stockton is in town.

In due time Mr. Huntingdon- t-andMark Hopkins became partners. . Afew years of association mado themrich, but the wheel of fortuno" wassteadily bringing nearer and nearer .tothem the opportunities of a greatachievement.

The need of a transcontinental rail-way had become obvious, and

'

Mr,Huntington realized this. . But. "theundertaking was gigantic' Togetherwith his Sacramento friends,' and ;inthe face of ridicule, he defrayed tbeexpenses of the first surveys.s In1861 the Central Pacific RailroadCompany came into existence, with acapital of $8,500,000. ... . .. ', .

Tho .Southern Pacific was this re-sourceful man's next undertaking," andin188-1 he organized the Southern Pa-.cificCompany of Kentucky. . \ ,<\u25a0\u25a0.

This concern operated twenty-sixrailway and steamship linos. \u25a0 Mr.Huntington was President of :theSouthern Pacific Company, and also ofthe Guatemala Central Railroad, one ofthe finest lines inCentral America.'

He was also President of the PacificMail Stoamship Company, and hisshipyards and drydocks at- NewportNews, Va., were among the finost inthe world.

In his first year of self-support hoearned $84, his board and clothes beingincluded in the contract. 'The incidentis of importance from tbe fact that besaved every cent of it and

In 1849 he started for California andduring his detention on the isthmus forthree months, waiting fora northboundship, he occupied the time in buyingand selling merchandise. lie hadstarted with $1,200, but he landed inCalifornia with $5,000, . while his com-panions, who had enjoyed themselvesafter their own fashion instead of his,were "broke." • i i--'

The death of Coilis P/ Huntington,"which took place at Pino Knot Lodge,*'his camp in the Blue mountain regionof the Adirondacks, at 11:55 Mondaynight, came with startling suddenness.He went into the woods August Othand was apparently inexcellent health.Atthat time he remarked that be hadnever "appreciated tho woods so muchas this season. On Friday "and Satur-day he was about his camp noting tbeprogress of improvements which hehad been carrying on this year/ :

trip on his steamboat,'. tho. Oneonla.Ho remarked to his friends that.hewas feeliug remarkably well. Duringtho day he made no complaint what-ever of illness. Horetired at 11 o'clockstill• apparently in tho very1 best ofhealth. A' few minutes later moanswere heard from his room arid an at-tendant immediately went to his'assist-ance. \ Help was^summoned and Re-storatives were applied,

'but Hunting-

Jackson is emerging gradually from the stagnation ofbusiness caused by the recent epidemic. Confidence is now

"fully restored aud commerce is being resumed. The businessthat was diverted to other towns in the county is coming backand in a few weeks normal conditions of trade willobtain.September willno doubt be dull, but in October our fullshareof business should return*to us and the usual volumn oftraffic be fully resumed.

Outside of the quarantined families but very few cases

have occurred since July 2Oth, and in the quarantined houses—'no' more cases have occurred than anticipated by Sanitary In-

spector Look of the State Board of Health and our localHealth Officer. As a matter of fact, the epidemic was fullyunder control the middle ofJuly and the maximum ofdanger

>^t reached and passed. The sick are all doing nicely, and unless-. some'unforseen and unlikely turn of affairs takes place, the

last case will have been discharged as cured within a fewweeks.

Our people have cause for thankfulness that the resultof the long siege has been no worse. The

/rate of mortality

has been extremely light and the injury to business, whilebad enough, has not seriously crippled any business concern.

Let us all thank God and take courage, and resolve to makeA Communication.

Editor Ledger: This epidemic ofsmallpox seems to-be assuming propor-tions of such gravity as to alarm-someand to work a groat hardship to many.In depriving them of a market fortheir hay and grain it deprives them oftho means of a livelihood. Now willyour county health officer kindly ox-plain to me whyin the name of science,health and prosperity, every man,woman and child resident in Amadorcounty whP has npt already contractedsmallpox, has not been vaccinated?"

That wouldsurely stop tho spreadingof the disease and if correct'informa-tion has been given me the law pro-vides for compulsory vaccination intimes of danger fromsmallpox. ";\u25a0

Amadpr, : A Citizen.

Montgomery was, in thectrly monthsof1861, the Capital of the ConfederateStates, and the guide pointed out toMr. and Mrs. Kirk a brass plate infront of tho west wing of tho building,which marked the place where Jeffer-son Davis stood when the oath of olticewas administered to him and he tookup the burdens of President of theConfederacy.

The house where Jefferson Davislived while inMontgomery was pointedout with conscious pride. Mr. Kirknoticed that the people, particularlythose past middle age, reverted to thedays of the Old South and war time,and seemod toMivoin tho past. Theydelighted to recall what had been, andwhat they had done, rathor than lookinto the future and tell what they ex-pected or intended doing. He was in-formed that there had been scarcely achange in the old town forover thirty-five years, and that the Montgomeryof to-day is tho Montgomery of ante-bellum days.

Prom Montgomery Mr. and Mrs.Kirk visited the Tuskageo Normal andIndustrial Institute, founded and pre-sided over by Booker T. Washington,the gifted colored man, who is givingthe best days of his lifeto the upliftingand ultimate happiness and advance-ment of the negro race in America.Next to the moeting at Charleston thovisit to the Tuskageo Institute was theprincipal object of Mr. Kirk's visit.He found Booker T. Washington to bea bright, talented and forceful man,whoso hobby was labor. With himthe predominant Idea was that employ-ment was necessary to the happiness ofthe colored race, and he worked to theend that students should, besides re-ceiving an academic education, bethoroughly trained in some ono of themechanic arts trades. Washington,Mr. Kirk states, is a modest man, andbelieves in results.

Mr.Kirksaid tie was agreeably sur-prised to see the institute in so flpur-ithing a condition. On the groundsproper are fifty-seven separate houses,including cottages, and -of the numberare several dormitories and halls whichcompare favorably with those of thoaverage university in tho North.

The attendance in all departmentsis about 1,500, but when be was therethe pupils of tho academic and normaldepartments wore away on vacation.The mechanical art departments, how-ever, were running at full blast withover 250 pupils taking instructions.Among the mechanical arts taught arcwoodworking, in which the!wood islaid down in the log and turned out inlino furniture, wagons, carriages orfarming utensils: blacksmithing, wherefurniture, etc., is ironed; machine sh.opsand a foundry, at which tho ironingofvarious \u25a0 farming implements woremade; house and carraige painting,brick making, tailoring, and others.

The girls, Mr. Kirk said, are taughtcooking, sewing and general householdduties, along with other studies. Sofar as possible tho school was intendedto be self-supporting, but had itnotreceived liberaldonations from individ-uals, churches, etc., it wgu}d noyerhave been the educational power' it isto-day.

Mr. Washington spoke feelingly ofiiMÜbjoral donations made to tho insti-tution by Collis P. Huntington, Mrs.Huntington and u'thovs, and pf the aidextended by the firstUnitariap (Jhui'chofBoston.

Mr. Kirksaid the session of tho Ed-ucational Association at Charleston wasa disappointment, viewed from any.standpoint. Interest in tho matterseemed lax, and the members attendingdidnot exceed ii,ooo, as against 15,000who attended the sessions last year atLos Angeles. Hotel accommodationsAvero poor, undrthe local end of theassociation had expended slight effortsto secure quarters for visitors.

—Rec-

ord-Union.

The people of Montgomery, Mr.Kirksaid, overflow with the hospitality uni-versal in tho Southern States beforethe war. Efe and Mrs. Kirkroooived awarm welcome, and regardless of thefact that it was on aSunday, they wereshown the sights. The Capitol build-ing was thrown open to them, and thewatchman "said his piece"' inshowingthe several offices, nearly equal to PatCarrigan, who officiates at our ownCapitol building, when visitors arearound.

Mr.and Mrs. Kirk made their firststop after leaving 1 California, at -ElPaso, Texas, where they attended theclosing days of tho session of the TexasEducational Association. .Thenco theywent to Now Orleans where they speDta day, and from there to Montgomery,Ala., which has tho reputation of beingthe most typical southern city southof the Mason and Di.xon line.

State Superintendent of Public In-struction Thomas J. Kirk and wife,who on June 30th,' left for Charleston,S.C., to attend the; annual sessfon ofthe National Educational Association,have returned and report .having hadan interesting trip.

of other countries must be rescued. Theallied troops are making good headway, and it is reasonableto believe that the rescue will soon be a matter of history.The Chinese are now eager for peace after having, in a way,defied the whole world. Sir Chili Chen Lo Feng Luh, theChinese minister 1 in London, is quoted as saying that hehoped and believed that peace would be established betweenChina and the powers within the next six weeks. In spite ofthe bad roads the rescuing army is making' excellent pro-gress. About forty-nine miles from the capital the army en-countered a Chinese detachment which fought for an hourand a half, and then threw down their arms and fled in apanic. .
