Whether Wilson remains road
supervisor or not, the axe Is to bo
-.swung In tho road department. Su
pervisors Dwight and Low havo been
doing some Investigating, and they
'have found somo startling conditions.
In tho road office, for oxample, are
two clerks, one getting a salary of.
?15Q a month and one $100, although
.cocrcKtng ,to ono member tofi ,tho
new board, there Is not enough work
to keep ono man busy four hours a
day. Ono of tho clerks will go, Just
as soon as the road committee com
pletes its plans. ,
Another finding that may form tho
basis of a report which the old road
committee won't like is as to lunas.
The number of highly paid lunas is
altogether out of proportion to the
number of men they have to-boss, In
tho opinion of the new committee.
It is said in this connection that
'there was a deal arranged during tho
last period, at the end of the con
troversy over road appointments with
which Mayor Fern's first term bo
gau, wlifeioby ;he Democrats got tho
road labor Jobs and the Republicans
'tho luna Jobs. In other words, it
was agreed that Democrats should
do the labor and Republicans boss
them. Tho political effect of this
may have been shown in tho triumph
of Mayor-Fern and Sheriff Jarrott, for

it Is of course necessary to employ
more laborers than lunas, and hence
he Democrats had most of the road
men. Tho financial effect was dis
astrous, according to the supervisors
who are now Investigating. There
were not enough laborers to supply
all the lunas and tho only thing to
do was to make tho gangs smaller.
It Is stated that thero will be a
big stir on other accounts in the
road department, when the new com
mittee begins its reorganization. In
addition to the matter of salaries and
superfluous lunas there are also re
ports of superfluous mules. Mules
cannot vote and thero is no explana
tion of why too many of them should
have been employed, but It is never
theless charged that the government
stables contain many that don't earn
a living. Moreover," tho other day,
ncording to a report that is going the
rounds.-Supervisor Low, who Is inde
fatigable as a 'supervisor as ho is in
everything else, happened around at
the government stables at six o'clock
in the morning. He found the man in
charge making up for any beauty
sleep ho might have lost the night
before and the mules wero unfed. To
funo of Eben Low's experience' In

this was a condition positively hair
raising, and another Job Is therefore
in danger.'

having already consented to do his
part.
Tho only fear is that a rush of press
matter from Washington may inter
fere with the plan to clear a wire all
the way from Washington to San
Francisco. It would lock up a wire
for somo time, and the big press ag
encies may object.

Mr. Stackablo had been a very capable

on tho men offering. Tho governor
stated that ho was bound to recom
