WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1859. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1900. DAILY ESTABLISHED 1877. POSITIONS SAFE. Employers of Members of Co, Interviewed, Buffered, but It Is a Call of Duty That Meets a Beady Response.

DEATH OF MODOG WOMAN. Had Lived in "Solo County and Was Widow of Philip Crowder. PURELY PERSONAL A few days ago there was published in the Sacramento papers articles from which it appeared that members of the National Guard on duty in San Francisco are very anxious to lie sent homo for the reason that many of them fear that if they remain away much longer they will lose their jobs. From the tenor the articles we infer that some of the Sacramento buel- ness men have been discussing the matter in a way to give the soldier boys good grounds for such fears. No doubt there are many instances in which the absence of their employes on military duty subjects business men of Sacramento, Woodland, Marysville and Colusa to great inconvenience, but this is an extraordinary emergency that never before occurred IB not likely to occur again in the lives of any of us.

Neither the citizen nor the soldier can escape an obligation in a crisis like the present. The soldier is enduring hardships and privations in order to protect lives and property, preserve order and uphold Hie honor of the state. The citizen 43 charged with the responsibility of aiding the homeless, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, and out ol his abundant means doing that which he can lo alleviate the suffer- that resulted from the great San Francisco disaster. Each in Ills sphere has a duty to perform and it Involves sacrifice and self-deniiil. It affords us a great deal of satisfaction to say that no member of Company is likely to suffer permanent loss or lose his job because he is serving the state.

A representative of the "Democrat" has taken particular pains to ascertain public sentiment and it is unanimous in the opinion that the soldiers are doing their duty In a way that arouses the pride and admiration of their families and friends and commands the respect of all, and that they return their places will be open to them. "I am In need of the services of, Lieutenant Nichols," said T. S. Spaul- dhig, "but (he state needs him more and we will manage to get along without him until he has discharged his duty to the state. The boys are making an enviable record and we are proud of them.

I don't believe a single member ot Company will lose his job on account of his service In the National Guard." "Corporal Stamp Is my yard foreman," said F. A. Kauffman, "and I will be glad when he can return to my employ, but his position with our firm'is perfectly secure until such time as the state no longer needs his services. Company Is all right and is doing Its duty." "Corporal Walter Barker is very useful man in this establishment," said Gus Dahler, "but there is not the remotest danger that he will lose his position with tlie Rochdale Company because he Is doing his duty as a soldier. We are not complaining because the state claims his services." Private Bailard is an employe in the Globe Mills.

When a "Democrat" representative asked the bookkeeper if there Is any danger that young Ballard's position would be given to someone else In the event he stays away much longer, an emphatic negative was the answer. "We will be glad when conditions are such that he can return to work, but his position with us is secure as long as he Is In the military service," he added. "We have not heard the matter discussed," said a member of the firm of Johnston "but so far as we are concerned Private Eddie Ryan's position with us will be kept open for him until lie returns. He Is only doing his duty and the rest of the force are only too glad to do his work for him while he can be ol service to the slate and to the homeless people of San Francisco. We all feel like commending the good work Company Is doing." There being no dissenting opinion we decided not to pursue the enquiry any further.

While the conditions which made It necessary for tlio company to be called out are to be deplored we have no doubt that the In' cldent will be of mutual benefit to the company and to Woodland. The com pany is passing through an experience and undergoing a discipline that will benefit It In many ways and the people will have a higher appreciation of From the Modoc Republican, published In Alturas on the 20th of April, we learn of the death of Mrs. Mariali Swift at Davis creek on'April 17th. Her maiden name was Mariah Bowers and she was born In Pennsylvania on the MUi of September, 1S25. She leaves to mourn her loss, a large and respected family of children, all of whom are grown.

Trial liott free. rustees to Experiment Before Boring New Weil, The city trustees, city engineer, au- orlntendent of waterworks and oth- rs spent some time about the waterworks Sunday morning. The object was to select a location for a new well, ul while discussing the matter a ))an was suggested which met inanlmous approval and as the ex- lerlment will coat less than it vas decided to give a trial.

It may bo the solution of the problem, but the event of failure, the cost will 10 comparatively small and there will bo nothing to prevent the trustees putting the original plan Into operation. Tho substitute plan In brief a as follows: City Engineer Ashley and Superintendent Boulware will lave the tubing of the two Peek wells nnd tho two Porter and Laugenour wells taken out. If there are any holes In the tubing it will be replaced by now tubing, but It will be dropped ilown lo a depth of 70 or 80 feet. The present tubing only extends'to a depth of 40 or -IB feet. After the tubing la dropped to the required depth the space between the tubing and auction aloe will be walled with cement.

It seems thut fn this way both the surface water and oil seepage ought to be shut out of tho wells effectually. II this falls a new well will bored. The experiment may result In the saving of several hundreds of dollars. Its failure cannot leave matters In any worse condition than they are now.
