FROM HUH CHINA.
Impressions of the Celestial Empire-Sympathy with the
Japaneese.
Under date of December 27th, 1904,
S. S. Missionary, D. J. McTavisti, has
rebieved fche following letter from C.
E. Parsons, which through the courtesy of Mr. MoTaviah we give in part
herewith:
Dear Brother:
It gives me pleasure to say that the famine in this district is now somewhat abating   although great suffering from lack of
food still exists and doubtless will
continue until the May crops of 1905.
t The price of rice and other food pro-
* ducts is now $8.00 cash per teo instead
of the normal price of $1.00 cash.   The
avcrage^st per ineal to the residents
" of this part of China istlc U. S. money
ordinarily, but now is*-double that.
Conditions may be better understood,
when one knows that the coin in most
common use here is • equivalent In
value-to one-half mill, TJ. S. currency.
Eeplying to your inquiries regarding
the Russo-Japanese war; the Chinese
sympathize with their Japanese cousins most heartily, and are looking
' with other nations to an'ultimate Japanese victory.    Such a victory will
mean the strengthening of China''s position, and the establishing of the"
prestige of eastern races In the East
Over Bussia.    Bussia, however, will
eventually doubtless retrieve her losses
in the present war by taking Chinese
Turkestan where her prestige is growing.   She will also make a desperate
attempt at keeping her open ice-free
Port on the China Sea.   And how she
will succeed, time alone can tell.   The
influence of Americans 1s at par, in
China, for they are casting no longing
eyes at Thibet, or Manchuria, Shan-
tong orVuantong, as are the English,
Russians,    Germans,    and   French.
China recognizes in Uncle Sam, the
impersonation of the Gopd Samaritan,
She is now on her back, so far as
military presttee is concerned and she
needs time to get on her feet.    When
once able to fight her 'own battles,
China will be a great nation, and will
be willieg to reply kindness shown to
her frbm a disinterested motive in the
hour df need.
lam enjoying the mild winter of
Shensi, and have recently returned
from, itineration through adjoining
towns where we reached some 5,000
people (some for the first time) with
the Gospel. 1480 books and tracts
were placed In their* hands. The
journey carried me through the
mountains whose slopes were well terraced to permit of their cultivation.
. These mountains form a picturesque
wall around our fertile valley, being
now capped with snow.
Recently I saw a drove of 150 Kan-
suh camels down from the North with
loads of salt. They were led by means
of a rope attatched to a bit of sharpened wood driven through the nostrils. , Owing to their unwieldy bodies, and the narrowness of Chinese
road3 these camels travel only by
night, their drivers living during the
day in tents bythe road side. O. Eugene Parsons, Hanchong, Shensi,

California Letter.
By request we herewith give some
extracts.from a letter from John Edwards, Oakdale, Cal., written to Herrick friends:
I feel like pitying you for 1 know
you are all frozen up and snowed under in the rigors of a cold winter
while we are basking in the sunshine
of dear old California. . I have not
been sick a minute since coming here;
but the loss of my wife was a terrible
blow to me.
We have two seasons, one wet, the
other dry. The wet season commences about October and lasts until April and from April to October there is
not a drop of rain, not even, dew at
night. Hundreds of people • during
that time sleep out of doors under
trees and some without any special
covering. Winter weather here is
like Michigan's May. 3?lowers bloom
the year around. We had a strawberry short cake for New Year's and
picked the berries the same day. The
Santa Fe railroad is to build a large
depot not far from my house which
will greatly increase the value of my
property.
In the wet season we can raise
wheat, oats, rye and barley, for they
sow in October and it doesn't need irrigation to raise heavy crops. But for
fruits of all kindsjthere must be irrigation; also for alfalfa but fche first
crop of it in the spring can be gotten
without irrigation. I have seen, ninety tons of alfalfa cut from ten acres,
in one season cutting nine times during the season.
I have a line orange grove, also
grapes, peaches, apricots, quince, figs,
plums, prunes.
Building material is high, but here
only half as much lumber is required
for a building as in Michigan. _To
thunder nor lightning here. In summer the thermometer runs up as high
as 112 decrees. There is always a flne
breeze blowing inland from the ocean.
I have suffered more from heat in
Michigan at ninety degrees than here
at 115 The nights are always cool;
no mosquitoes.
Bogs Kill Sheep in Sheridan.
Colonville Correspondent.
No less than twenty-nine sheep have
been killed and others*b„dly bitten by
dogs in Sheridan township, in the vicinity of Colonville, during the last
two weeks. Last week one morning
nine of John Armour's and four of A.
Pudvay's were found dead and Sunday
morning sixteen of Allen Gero#'s
flock. It was impossible' to track • the
dogs as the snow was frozen and while
it is reported the mearest glimpse was
gotten-of one of the dogs, they have
not been located. Anyone, however,
having a valuable dog will do well to
keep him at home, especially in the
neighborhood of Colonville', if he dqes
not wish to have a bullet through the
animal. In fact with Such inroads oh
sheep, dogs ought not to be permitted
to run at large. <' ...'•
toekmen's Annual Meeting.

Grasping at Straws.
In his last issue fche Courier editor,
after a'lapse of several months, again
broke out in a whinning scold. This
time it is Senator Doherty and Represent., tive Kelley who are held tip for
chastisetaent.
It appearsthat in response te a resolution of the Clare county board of
-supervisors Senator Doherty and Representative Kelley have been seeking
to have fche drain law, applicable to
Clare county, so amended as to lessen
the. power of the drain commissioner
somewhat. Besides the two gentle-
tlemenwere guilty ot conferring with
a number of farmers from the townships of Grant, Sheridan, Arthur and
Hatton on the proposed bill. But it
is a known fact, recorded in these columns as news items some time ago,
that over a hundred farmers from
these four townships in question have
an organization of which John Hampton is president), for the avowed purpose of fighting the proposed McEwan
Creek ditch and have,*a hundred
strong, twice met at Doyer for the
furtherance of their avowed purpose.
The self-appointed manager (?) of
Clare county affairs seeks to convey
the impression that the sole purpose
Of the bill is • virtually to legislate
County Drain Commissioner Shunk
out of office simply because he is a
democrat. But yet in the very act of
charging our two legislators with
sharp politics, he admits that fche
Kane drain bill just made a law for
Isabella county is worse than the one
proposed to apply to Clare county.
But Isabella's county drain commissioner, S. D. Eldred, is a republican.
The fact is there is a strong belief
amoeg many of our farmers of the
state that under the existing general
state law too much power is placed in
the hands of a county drain commissioner, no matter whether he be dem*-
ocrat or republican, and It is in direct
response to the demands of farming
interests that legislation is on to have
the board of supervisors in a number
of counties take over some of the
power now vested in the county drain
commissioner.

.Doings in State Legislature. <
. Lansing. March G, 1905.
Not a great-number ot the legislators went to the inauguration, and no
recess was taken on that account). On
the contrary, the houses have worked
through the week with unwonted
industry. An item of Importance jn
the business of tbe house was the
agreement of the elections committee
upon the Stone primary bill and its
report to the' bouse without amendment and its assignment as the special order for March 22. The Stone bill,
file number 22, applies to all regular
elections of all officers except of city,
village, town and school district, including United States senators. A
blanket ballot is provided, bearing the
various party tickets and a non-partisan ticket for names not presented as
candidates of any party. Place on the
ticket is secured by a - "nomination
paper,''a notification-having the same
effect as a petition Aud similarly
signed. The voter after marklag. his
party ticket must separate it from the
blanket ballot, and deposit-the two in
separate boxes. The voter also writes
upon his ticket the names of his
choice for precinct committeemen,
and city, representative district' and
county committees are constituted of
the chairmen of tbe precinct committees, senate district committees of
the cnairmen of representative district committees, congressional district committees of the chairmen of
senate district committees, and the
state and legislative candidates meet
in convention at the capital and frame
platform and elect tbe state-*committee. The act is to become effective only upon ratification at tbe April
election. Alvah G. Stone,;the author
ot this bill, is a farmer of Lenawee
county and chairman of the elections
committee, and served in the last .two
legislatures.
* * * *
Another measure that has excited
much interest was disposed ot in the
house Tuesday, the senate bill reorganizing the board of health aud placing the appointment of its secretary
in the hands of the governor,. The
bill was passed as it came from the
ways and mean committee, with the
amendment limiting to ten thousand
dollars a year the amount authorized
Tor clerk hire, in which the senate has
ouueurred, and the act takes immediate effect. The majority in the house
was so emphatic that Representative
Heald of Grand Rapids, the only member who antagonized it, could not get,
the necessary ten votes to order a roll-
call on a motion ot his that would
have delayed the progress of the bill.
A vacancy in the board of health was
occasioned by the recent death of
Frank Wells otthlscity, and that was
filled last Wednesday by the governor's appointment of Coleman C.
Vaughan of Saint Johns. Mr. Vaug-
ban is editor of the Saint Johns Re-
iiuolican aud was the senator from
the 19th district in the last legislature. The nomination was confirmed
by the senate in open session.
* * * *
Another anti-cigarete bill has appeared, drawn by Representative
Ming oi Cheboygan, like Senator Sheldon's bill prohibiting fche manufacture, transportation, sale or gift of cigarettes or cigarette paper. The governor of Indiana has just signed asim-
ilar bill which goes into effect in that
state in June and is drastic in its provisions A ward and precinct local
option liquor bill was introduced in
the house by Representative Hudson
of Kalamazoo. It is in response to
the demands of the anti-saloon league
and is such a measure as went into
effect in Ohio two years ago, after a
long and determined contest lasting
several years. Ohio is the leader,
rather than Michigan, In legislation
along that line. Whether she leads
us in practical .temperence, also, or
not, certain it is that there is abundant room for improvement in that
respect. Iri* this city, one week ago,
a woman died of pneumonia, leaving
eight children ail under twelve years
and the youngest but three weeks old
The husband Is a. drunkard, and was
at the time of her death so drunk from
drinklDgwtue alcohol used to bathe the
sick woman that be could not realize
the event. The family is entirely destitute, although they had lived here a
dozen years and the husband had
work in one of the factories in the intervals between bis visits to those institutions which tbe community maintains to make him what he is and to
make beasts like him'out of many of
the boys. This town is.no worse than
others in that respect, and this case
is no unfamiliar feature of the stage
to which our civilization has reached.

was, we may hope, jth^t. the better
things will be attained.

The proposition to place members

The Wise Farmers' Club met on
Tuesday at the home of James Hersey
of Wise. Pres. Sseiey was in .the
chair and over 130 farmers _nd-tfami-

Including Gllfiaore, the spacious house
being filled to overflowing.
After a song by the club, Mrs. Jas.
Hersey gave a few well-chosen words
of welcome to which Mrs. McJames
happily responded. Prayer was offered by Rev. D. J. McTavish of the
Sunday School Union. E.' W. Allen

dottier Political Trick.
One of the really funniest.tricks thus
far known, in Clare's local politics is
-fcheJ'Mayd^s Petition''. 'Tis in the
hands of "two of .the chief, financial
beneficiaries of the present city regime.
It recites, that out of the- fullness of
their heart fche.signers do most'humb-.
ly entreat, beseech atiij- implore Hiz-
zoner to reconsider his announced decision riot to be a candidate afc the
coming election and- 'permit them to
elect .him again as fche living idol of a
grateful city. Those in charge of the
petition gravely proclaim-the Mayor's
Virtues, urging that he alone knows
adequately how to. administer the city
government for the whole people.   ,
But it. will be remembered how as**
sl'duously the report was 'circulated
last spring that the Mayor would not
be a candidate again. But—J The
petition in'question is only a part, of
the_same trick, it originated^jvith
the^democrafcic*leaders"and oh 'it are
Irie'names of some persons who have
admitted signing it simply for business reasons but who have no. intention
of -yjjtlng'for Hizzoner,'"aWhat i$>* represented sis a spontaneous movement,
is in reality rehashed politics.
Ciare City government is in fche control of democrats. A. close organization, kbqwn as the Lewis Cass Club,
seeks to • perpetuate fchat control in
and for the city democratic leaders.
So rigid is that organization that
within a few weeks,a prominent democrat made thebqast that last spring
the Lewis Cass Club was so welUorgan-
ized as to have virtually every voter in
fche city assigned,to some one or more
good democrats to try to influence him
to vote for as many democrat candidates #s possible and he added, "The
result showed."
There is altogether too much political pretense. In Clare, tod'many li title
smooth political- tricks. For ten years
the city government has been absolutely under 'control of democratic
leaders. The present scheme is in the
interest "of the present leaders. Citizens, *it is'up to you. It is time, Clare

men, independent'of the professional
