THE ROCK ROAD MATTER.

Mr. Voter: Your ballot Saturday will propel or retard our wish for paved streets and roads. Please read what the Ditch Engineer says: “Acting for the Iroquois ditch I can sell the rock obtained from the ditch channel on the lands of the Jasper County Draining Association to the contractor for the stone road system, if voted, at three cents per cubic yard I cannot sell to others until after the election, and if the system is voted, not until after the letting. The price to all buyers will be three cents per yard, and purchasers will be required to remove said rock from the old river bed and its banks. All the money received will go to the credit of the ditch. The Board’s order to me states: ‘The viewers are authorized to reduce their estimate for stone, relying on this supply.’ Mvrt B. Price, “Engineer Iroquois Ditch. April 24, 1906.’’ The records show its truth. You may have a delusion to not receive the truth. Paul found som such (2 These. 2 chap, verse 10.) The following are facts that stand true and proven: Truth I. Each voter hath an equal duty to cast his ballot, and it is his duty to vote and not ebirk. Truth 11. Your ticket describes our own home streets and roads. It would bo a sad result to build the Jordan road and neglect our owu. Truth 111. The roads built in this system will be accepted and maintained by the county >• nth IV. The stone road tax, lik <n\ ordinary road tax, is not a lem on lands save after March 1 of each year, aud only for the share necessary to pay the interest at 4J per eeut. and the apportioned share of the bonds. Lots and lands fronting on these streets and roads pay no more nor less than other property. Truth V. The Jasper County Draining Association took up a subscription and paid $3,000 for the mill-dam in 1883 and retained title to the old channel for the use of any projeot that would deepen said channel and remove the rock beyond the old channel. Truth VI. The Iroquois ditch raised money by a benefit assessment adjudged fair and just by tbe county board to out a sewer and drainage chanuel in said river bed at a cost of 80 oents per cubic yard. Said ditch nor the Drainage Association has any money to pay for removing the loo~e rook beyond the old channel. The ditoh offers said rock at three cents per oubio yard to anyone desiring to use it outside of the old channel. Troth VII. The stone road system to be Greeted by your vote

will f?et its money by a tax at the same rate on all property, and needs the material. The viewers reduced the estimate for Me Adam 60 cents per onbic yard by reason of said offer by the said ditch. The quarried stone are worth more than three cents per cubic yard to store or transport. The petitioners for the stone road system ask you and your friends as men of good judgment to. vote “Yes.” PETITIONER. DEAD-BEAT ADVERTISERS. It is strange how many news* papers there are that will acoept any sort of a foreign advertising proposition without investigating the ability of the parties to pay for the advertising ordered. One of the latest of these which we notice many of our exchanges are carrying is that of the Wheeling Roofing and Cornice Co., of Wheeling, W. Va. The order for this local adv, was evidently sent to all the papers in this section of the state, perhaps to those of a dozen states, with instructions to run for so many issues and “send bill.” Nothing about rates was asked for and the publisher who runs the adv. no doubt expects to get five cents per line for each issue. This company may be all right, but their method of sending out orders for advertising is suspicious. It is not business, and The Democrat fired their order in the waste basket without even taking the trouble to write them to send cash in advance, a method we have followed for several years with advertisers of whose responsibility we were not advised. By following that plan this paper has lost but ii on foreign advertisers during the past five years—that of the Lafayette Gravel and Cement Co., of Lafayette, Ind., whose ad. we carried without investigating or demanding cash in advance. Because it was so near home, we thought them all right. Publishers lose thousands of dollars every year through deadbeat advertisers, and we are sorry to see ads. carried in the columns of our exchanges that we feel confident the publishers will never receive a penny of pay for A safe proposition is to demand cash in advance from all unknown foreigu advertisers, and some of the unknown advertising agents II they are reliable and honest they will uot object to this in the least You know, brother publisher, that not a printing supply house or paper house in the Country will ship yoii a dollar’s worth of goods unless your ability to pay or reputation for prompt payment of bills is known to them. This is simply business, and you should exercise the same precautions in celling your space. You will find that it will savo you considerable cash each year, in the way of postage, in mailing duns to worthless debtors.

COMES NEAR WANTON MURDER

Killing of MaJ. Tilden by ”Vigllantes” —Soldiers Too Fresh. One of the most unfortunate affairs which has happened here since the city has hren under the joint police supervision of the government, tlie municipality and tiie state militia was the killing of Major H.

At the reduction plant a large force of Chinamen is engaged in cutting the carcasses up and committing them to the flames. Two scows, having a capacity of 2,000 cubic yards, were engaged for carrying garbage to sea. May Withdraw Militia. As a result of Mayor Schmitz’s sharp letter to General Roster, commanding the national guard, in which the mayor called the general’s attention to the fact that the city was not under martial law and that drastic measures and arbitrary actions of some of his men, which have caused so much complaint, were illegal and requesting him to put a stop to it, there was but little shooting in the district over which the militia holdsway. A marine reported finding a light in a house on lower Fillmore street after 10 o’clock atJiight and the military sentry on the post shot through the window. A looter, who, it is stated, broke into several places on Vallejo street, was reported to have been shot by a marine sentry at Vallejo and East streets. Belt Railroad in Operation. The licit railroad is now operating around the water front, and all sorts of relief supplies are being distributed from there. The electric lights were started on East street and these lights will be extended to the wharves right away. There will lie plenty of electric lights almost immediately. An official list of the conditions of the school buildings throughout the city, shows that twenty-nine buildings were utterly destroyed and that fortyfour were at least partially spared. As many of the latter were so damaged that they will have to be either pulled down or thoroughly repaired, it is likely that the resumption of Hie short term will he made in tents erected in the parks. Surgeon General Gerard, of the United States army, has taken possession of the (’rocker grammar school, on Page street, for the benefit of the sick people in the park, who will all lie removed to that place for care and shelter.

j r, . railways. The relief work la «ow thoroughly organized and rapidly becoming systematized. Many carloads of provisions and supplies are being received dally. OPTIMISM IN THE REPORTS "Conditions Improving” Is the Btory on All Sides. Yesterday was a day of optimistic reports from all aides. “Conditions improving,” was the happy 'expression from those who have had charge of any of the self-imposed duties of curing for their less fortunate fellow townsmen during the last few days. There was resumption of business to an astonishing extent yesterday, considering the condition throughout the resident section. Retail stores were instructed to reopen and the municipal government has established a scale of prices for the most important commodities—food, clothing, etc.—which is even below that existing under normal conditions. Warning was given retailers that any effort on tlieir part to charge exorbitant prices would result in summary action by the authorities. Street cars were promised for this

morning and electric lights will be turned on this evening. Many tons of fresh fruit were distributed free Tuesday afternoon anil yesterday morning. Great bunches of bananas and boxes of oranges were given unsparingly to the people, who flocked from the tents along the lieach and al*out Fort Mason. The oranges had been shipped to San Francisco for commission merchants before the earthquake, but not having been delivered to the consignees were largely the property of the growers and packers in the. southern part of the state, and word was m-eived by telegraph that the homeless sufferers were only too welcome to take them. The bananas were mainly in the warehouses where they were being held to ripen. They belonged to San Francisco commission men.

SANTA ROSA IN RUINS

Not a Brick, or Stone Building Stand-ing-Heavy Casualties. Los Augeles, April 20. —Compared to the population, it is now believed that in Santa Rosa the greatest loss of life occurred from earthquake- and fire, even if this unfortunate city does not lead in the actual number of victims. But iu a letter received here from h former Los Angeles man, the writer says iu part: “This town is in awful shape. There is not single brick or stone building standing and scores of fine residences are iu ruins. Fires broke out in the business district rigid after the shock and burned dead and living alike. There were three big three-story hotels, but while all of them fell, but one took fire. From St. Rose they took out nine bodies today. They found a little girl in these ruins. She was unhurt hut very hungry and thirsty, having been buried four days and nights. The timbers had lodged so that they protected her. Coses of this kind have been numerous. There would undoubtedly have been a great many lives saved if they could have been gotten out iu the first twenty-four hours, but the task was so great it was an impossibility."

PEOPLE NOW ARE WELL FED

Blankets and Tents Arriving—General Health Is Satisfactory. The people ate fed in a thoroughly business-like and systematic manner. From the water front, where the boatloads of provisions docked there is an endless procession of carts and dravs carrying food to to the scores of substations established throughout the city and the parks. At these stations food and drink, comprising bread, prepared meats and canned goods, milk and a limited amount of hot coffee, is served to ail those who apply. About 1.500 tons of provisions are being moved, daily from the water front. Large supplies of blankets, tenting and other material to provide coverings for those who have been scantily supplied heretofore are reaching the supply stations rapidly. Barracks have been completed at several points, and in these many people have found comfort and shelter against the inclemencies of the weather. The situation in the congested districts, such as Golden Gate park and the various public squares throughout the city, has been considerably relieved by the departure of many people for the points on the other side of the bay. most satisfactory.
