Brom Bawsoft City, N. W. T,
Mrs. Jas. O'Grady is in receipt of a
letter from her niece, Mrs, J. W. Roberts, from which we are permitted to
make extracts. After a few pergonal
paragraphs tbe correspondent says:
"I had a delightful trip; tbe scenery
is something grand to behold all the
way, and 1 assure you it is a long, long
distance I am from home. I arrived
in Dawson City June Htb, and found
my husband waiting on shore for me.
* * * You wonder what kind of a
place this is, and I am sure that it is
a task to answer that question for
there are so many opinions. Hundreds
arc leaving tbe country In disgust
every week. The Canadian officials
are pressing tbe Americans more than
, they are used to being held under restraint in their own country. lb is a
game of robbery from beginning to
end. You have to get a license for
everything you do, to cut logs, cut
wild grass, do business in towo, aud in
fact for every move you make.
"They compel mine owners to giye
50 tier cent of the gold they take out
of the ground to the Canadian government as royalty.
"We are not mining yet, though we
have two claims that are considered
good. We will be out on one of them
for three months tbis winter—representing the cla'Pi, as It is called.
"I do not regret for a moment having made this trip, nor am I discouraged. It is a chapter in my life, never
to be forgotten.
"Dawson is a city of about twenty
thousand people, one-half of whom
are living in tents. I suppose If the
truth was known there is no more misery exists in any city of its size than
tbis world-famed Dawson. Hundreds
are here who can get no work to do,
winter is coming on aud they would
like to return home if they had tbe
means, but it takes money to get out
of the country and many had only
enough to get in here. Others have
been sick and it. takes a fortune to
doctor in here. It costs 810 a day at
the hospital without doctor oi medicine.
"Prices would scare you. Flour js
only $8.00 a 50 lb sack, pototoes, onions
and beef 75c per oound, Think of
paying 82.50 a pound for butter. I did
it; cheese is $1.00 a pound, eggs 82.50
dozen. These prices are away down
low to what they have been. Fiour
was $50 a hundred last winter. Brooms
are now only $17 each, wash tubs §8
and flat-irons S10 a piece.
"Dogs are to the people here what
horses are to those living in the outside world. We have ten old dogs
which compose the team, and six little ones. The little ones are more
like wolves than dogs, and are so much
company for me. A team of native
dogs sell for $800 to $1,000. Fi! ty dollars buys a very ordinary dog."
The scow boat in v«iiiui Mrs. Roberts made the trip to tbe frozen north-
land was named "Dewey," which was
a sufficient for a successful voyage. It
was evidently a dandy.—Ed.
The County Splons.
The October session of the board of
supervisors ended last Wednesday,
Among tbe actions of the board was
the election of Prof. 0, B, Chaffee as
school examiner. His selection was a
good one. A. W, Mclntyre was reelected superintendent of the poor,
which was also a good choice. L, L.
Kelley, S. A. Wilson and J. F. Tatman
were elected county canyassers, with
Wm. M. Temple as alternate. The
board decided to let all tbe county
printing to the paper which should
Submit tbe lowest sealed bid. The
Clare Sentinel being the lowest bidder was made the official paper for the
corning year. Two changes were made
in the salaries of county officers. The
prosecuting attorney will now got $700
a year instead of $800, with actual expenses allowed outside the county
only. The sheriff will now receive a
salary of $600 a year and be allowed 50c
a day for prisoners' board. Any, traveling inside of five miles, $3 a day, but
no 11 very hire allowed. For escorting
prisoners, 10c a mile one way, regular
fair the other.
The official proceedings will be published in detail in this paper in an
early issue.
The New Train Service.
The much talked of change in the
F. & P, M. time table toolc effect the
first of this week. In one sense tbe
change is quite radical, inasmuch as
the last through train from Saginaw
to Ludington now passes through
Clare at 2:42 p.' m. instead of 0:33 as
formerly, although there is a train
from Saginaw to Harrison at about
the same old time in the evening.
The old passenger service to Harrison
(two trains each way) has been discontinued and Conductor Merrill now
runs the Saginaw-Harrison train
yery acceptably. Passengers to Harrison must go up at night and
down early in the morning. The
arrival and departure of trains from
Clare ia now as follows: Going east:
7:30 a. m., 0:44 a. m., 3:53 p, m. Going
west: 0:02 a. m., 2:42 p. m., 0:30 p. m.,
(this last train to Harrison.)
Advertised Letters.
List of letters remaining uncalled
for in the Clare postoffice for the week
ending Saturday, Oct. 15,1898.    Persons claiming these letters please call

Sugar Beets.
The sugar factory at Bay City began
running last Saturday morning. Out
of more than a thousand tons of beets
already delivered at the factory only
2 lots ran below the standard of 12 per
cent sugar, and these exceptions showed 11.810 per cent. Many of the samples ran as high as 10, 17 and 18 per
cent, and it is certain that the average will be enough over the standard
to give tbe farmer $4.50 a ton for his
be3ta instead of $4, Some farmers already figure that they will clear from
840 to $50 an acre from their crop of
beets.
Resolutions oi Sympathy.
Whereas it hath pleased tbe Supreme Ruler of the universe to take
from our midst our esteemed Sir
Knight and Brother John Giberson,
who was claimed by the Grim Reaper
Death on the 23rd day of September,
Resolved that we drape our charter for the spate of sixty days and that
we cause a copy of these resolutions to
be published in the city papers and in
the Michigan Maceabce, and that
these resolutions be spread on tbe
records of the Tent and a copy presented to the bereaved family.

Box Rents Must Be Paid.
In accordance with a recent order
from tbe 1st Ass't P. M. General P. O.
boxes must be declared vacant ten
days after the beginning of each
quarter if the rent is not paid. It is
not generally known that the receipts
for box rent belongs to the postal
funds and have to be remitted by the
P. M. at tbe end of each month. Iu
cases where the P. M. allows the renter to bokl tbe box be is merely trusting him for the amount of rent as it
must be remitted by him whether he
collects it or not. Failure to do so
makes him liable to a severe penalty
that no bux renter would wish to sec
indicted, so do not feel wronged if you
find your P. O. box rented to another
if you do not meet the requirements
of the law, as this order is impeiative
and must be followed by all post
masters.
The 'L of It.
Piior to our late unpleasantness
with Spain the word Manila was seldom met with in our literature and
was spelled with two l's. After Dewey's famous victory it became a yery
common word indeed and one of the
l's was dropped. If anyone ventured
to Inquire tbe reason therefor, the
answer was sure to be: Why don't you
know? 'Cause Dewey knocked the
—ell out of it.
The proper spelling is "Manila" In
Spanish. Tbe form ending in "Ha"
arose from a fancied resemblance to
the word "Manilla," which means
"little band," Webster and other
ortbographers being mislead thereby.
"Manila" is however a proper noun,
signifying a place, and having no connection with tbe other word.

A Good aud Economical Record.
Law abiding residents of Clare
county universally approve and rejoice
in the administration of criminal
affairs which we have enjoyed during
the past two years under the regime
of Sheriff Leacb- Nob a guilty man
has escaped him and everyone of them
has received the punishment he deserved, Sheriff Leach and his deputies have not only effected a capture
of criminals in every instance, but
they have done all the work of the
office with the least expense of any
sheriff in the history of tbe county.
Eft has only had one term and the
splendid record which he has made in
the interests of the tax payer certainly
entitles him to another term.
Death of John ibe^smltfr.
With the deepest regret we have
to announce the death of one of Clare's
most highly respected citizens in, the
person of John Sexsmith, which O'ccur-
ed at 7:30 o'clock this (Friday) morning at his residence on East ,Sixth-St,,
after an illness of several weeks. The
time of the funeral has nob been decided upon at the hour of going to
press,
DETROIT LIVE STOCK MARKET
A Returned Klondiker.
Frank Starling, who has spent four
years In Alaska, is in Clare on a visit
to bis aunt, Mrs. O. Falk, and cousins,
Frank and Ed Falk. Mr. Starling left
Dawson City the 3d of August and
reached Grand Rapids on August 22.
It cost him about $300 to make the
trip, There were 20,000 people in Dawson City when he left there. Starling
has a one-half interest in two claims
in the Klondike, As a souvenir of his
stay in Alaska be has a watch chain
made from small nuggets which he
picked up at differeut times". One can
get an idea pf tbe way it freezes up
there from asbatement of Mr. Starling
in which he said he knew of a shaft
sunk 96 feet and ab that depth the
ground was frozen as bard as ib was ab
tbe surface. He will remain in Clare
three or four weeks and expects to return to Alaska next February.

HON. Wm. S. MESICK,
Our Present Congressman and Candidate for Re-election.
Frank M. Morrissey—He's Alright
Two years ago Frank Morrissey was
nominated as the republican candidate
forclerkaod register of deeds, and was
elected by a good majoriby over a very
popular nominee on tbe opposition
ticket. This year Mr. Morrissey was
renominated for that office, receiving
every vote of the convention. During
his firsc term be has proven one of the
most popular officials the county has
ever had. Mot a duty in connection
with his office has been left undone
and not a fault has or could be found
with its administration while under
his control. _To greater compliment
could have been paid him in this
strongly partisan county, He is well
known and nothing could be said that
could add to the confidence and esteem
in which he is held.

savings bank.
Postal Savings Bank.
The Clare post office bas received no
bice from bhe department at Washington of a change in tbe ruling about issuing money orders payable ab tbe office where they are issued that is a desirable and agreeable innovabion.
Heretofore postmasters have not been
permiltsd to draw orders on their own
office. This rule bas been amended,
permitting them to do so, making the
order virtually a local check to be used
in the city for commercial purposes, lb
also operabes as a deposib for bhe money
and is a very convenient mebhod for
persons having no bank account, and
is a step in the direction of postal savings banks, a question which has been
more or less agitated for years.
