for the recall of Mayor George F. Cot
terill, containing nearly 24,000 names,

months men and women on prominent,

asking them to sign. The petitions
were also circulated in saloons and
restaurants.
The work of checking: the petitions
will be begun tomorrow to make sure
that the signatures are thoste of elec
tors. Sixteen thousand five hundred
names are necessary for a recall elec
tion. The city council must call an
election not sooner than 30 days after

of the petition, and not later than 40
days from such certification. Ten days
are allowed by law for checking them
and 60 men will do the work.

competent and unfit, that he has shown
himself lacking in executive ability
and moral courage; that he suffers
certain persons and certain institu
tions to interfere in police matters,
that he has failed and refused, appar
ently because of his obligations to
certain clerical politicians and certain
socialist agitators," to protect citizens
of Seattle in their constitutional rights

TIMBER SALE TO
AID PLACERVILLE
U. S. Forest Service Expected to
Dispose of Land Which
Will Start Boom
[Special Dispatch to The Co//]
PLACE RVIL.LE. Nov. T. — Proposals
are being considered by the United
States forest service to sell a big block
of timber land to the Ruggles Timber
company of Wisconsin, acording to ad
vices received by Evan Kelley, forest
supervisor, with offices at PlacQfville.
The land is situated in the southern
part of Eldorado county and the north
ern part of Amador, where the Ruggles
company owns large tracts with j
the additional land probably will yield ,
10,000,00(1,000 feet of lumber. The land
is in township 8 north, range 15 east,
and work of clearing and marketing the
timber will be 6t vast importance and
benefit to Eldorado, Amador and Cala- !
veras counties. .
At present nothing is being done to j
develop this vast property.
The Ruggles company bought the ■
Amador Central railroad two or three |
years ago and now proposes to extend j
it to the Valley Spriners timber claims, j
Two routes are under consideration for,
the extension. One is from Valley j
Springs through Calaveras county across j
the Mokelumne river into Amador
county and then to the holdings, about i
50 miles. The other route is from the i
present^terminus of the road at Mar
tells straight up the divide, between
Sutter creek and the Mokelumne river,
to Pine Grove, then between the main
watershed of the Cosumnes and Mokel
umne rivers to the holdings, about 40
miles.
Taken in connection with the activi- j
ties of the C. A. Smith Timber com- i
pany, this deal is taken to mean much j
development for these counties, and
will mean a great deal for the pros-,
perity of Placerville, Jackson and other
towns.
Red River Camp at Work
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
OROYIIXE. N' nv "•—The cutting of
100,000,000 feet of sugar pine and other
timber on the acreage owned by the
Ded River Lumber company—the Wal
ker interests —will furnish employment
for hundreds during the coming sum
mer and the next three years. Already
the Clear Creek camp is taking on an
air of permanence as a headquarters
for the Walkers.
While the dawbacks that prevented
the Great Western Power from com
pleting the Nevis dam above winter
flood this year will give the Walkers a
12 months' extension, there Is enough
to do to cut the big trees and burn
the brush on the Meadows bottoms.
The work of building the town to
house the lumber camp and the- build
ings of the headquarters town will
takp all of the extra year's work. It
is estimated that 30,600,000 feet of tim
ber would have been cut this winter
had the dam been built.

aged 18 years, was abducted in an au
tomobile by her former fiance, Angelo
