RAILROAD SURPRISES,
' P.   M.   Surveys   Route   from
Loomis  to Strike Harrison
.Branch  Northwest^ of
County Seat.
Some weeks ago a gang of Pere
Marquette surveyors began work on
finding the best route from Leota to
Stratford and it was supposed that the
short distance between the two points
would soon be filled in with a railroad
and that soon there would be a road
direct to the northwest of the lower
'. peninsula by way of Clare and Harrison. Present indications, however,
seem to show the railroad company
bent on their policy of building up
through lines regardless of location of
towns. At least the course of the
road as now surveyed leaves out both
Harrison and Clare. Leaving the
Harrison branch one and' one-half
miles northwest of Harrison it runs
north of Budd Lake with the lake
between it and Harrison and proceeds
south and gaining slightly east, passes
down through Arthur township, crossing the middle branch of the Tobacco
near the old Tonkin post office. It
then takes a southerly course through
Sheridan and Wise townships, striking the Saginaw-IiUdington line at
Loomis.
It is presumed that, in case the road
is completed according to the survey
as now made, the present road from
Clare to Harrison will be discarded,
thus leaving the county seat a mile
and one-half from a railroad and requiring all who would use the railroad
to go by way of Loomis and possibly
Coleman to get even near the county
seat. The proposed course will give a
saving of but five or six .miles over the
present route. Harrison is over 500
feet higher thah Clare but practically
the same altitude has to be reached if
the proposed route is followed. 'On
the present road Hatton hill is discouraging but the proposed route
-stikes a similar hill, though not so
large, several miles to the northeast and the cost of building a hew
road bed would, it is presumed, be
greater than the cost of cutting down
the present Hatton hill.
A big corporation like the Pere
Marquette railroad -is souless at best.
But it seems that, at ieast some little
, *teg_xdvshould b&-paid to, the towns
that have grown up with the development of the railroad. Such, however,
is evidently not the purpose of the
Pere Marquette in this case. Information at hand is to the effect that
the engineer in charge of the survey
is acting under orders from headquarters to find the most feasible and
direct route independent of towns and
any railroad already in operation in
the territory.
It is asserted that as soon as a
route satisfactory to the company has
been found work will forthwith be
pushed in building the road bed and
that in a year cars will be running
over the road direct to northwestern
Michigan.
Sheridan Farmers' Club.
With"the coming of late November
the average farm home will have more
time for plans and social life than
during the busy summer and autumn,
and the farmers' club of Sheridan
propose to get the advantage of finding out how the other fellow does
things. The first meeting for this
season is to be held at the town hall
Wednesday, November 25th, to begin
at ten a, m. All are invited to come
early and bring their baskets. The
following is the program:
Music.
Prayer—Eev. Mr. DilwOrth.
Address by the president—J. W.
Hampton.
Topic for Discussion—Which is
most profitable, huskiDg corn or shredding it? General discussion to be
opened by L. H. Thompson.

PICKLE SALTING STATION,
Annual Ten Day Excursion to
"Detroit.
On Wednesday, November iSbn, the
Ana Arbor B. JR.. will give Its annual
ten day excursion to Detroit via Durand and Grand Trunk faliroad. 'Pickets to be sold at $4.42 for trains leaving Clare at 6:31 a. m. good for return
on any regular train until November
28th. . 50-2
Will be Established in Clare if
Contracts for 200 Acres Can
be Secured.
The E. G. Daily Co. of Detroit is
ready to establish a pickle salting
station in Clare provided contracts
can be obtained for the raising of 200
acres of cucumber pickles in parcels of
from one to three acres^ For such
a product the company agrees to pay
sixty cents per bushel for cucumbers
not crooked and not, more than three
and one-half inches long and fifteen
cents per bushel for all Over that
length suitable for pickling provided
they are not more than twenty-five
per cent of the enti re crop.
James Dunwoodie, appointed by the
Clare city council, is now engaged in
securing from farmers of the surrounding country the necessary acreageand
all the facts in the case Seem to indicate that the industry would be a profitable one. So confident is the company
of proving to farmers the profitableness
of engaging in raising cucumbers fox-
pickling that all they ask of Olare is to
secure the acreage for them the first
year, believing that thereafter farmers
will be entirely willing to continue
the work of raising the product. The
company does not ask Olare for a site
for their factory nor any other special
favors, but with the acreage guaranteed for the flrst year they are confident of success to the extent of
putting $3,000 into a plant in Olare.
From time to time murmurs bordering on complaints are heard asking
why Clare doesn't do something more
substantial in furnishing " better
markets and otherwise helping the
Surrounding country. Now it is up to
our farmers, and if enough of them
will even for one year make the
experiment of raising an acre or
two of cucumbers there will be established a permanent industry that wills
according to experience elsewhere, be
of great value tp our entire agricultural community.
This matter must be* decided
promptly as the necessary acreage
must be secured by November 16th.
Fo*_ Sale,—-Ten acres land, house
and barn, near Loomis, $500 or will exchange for village property.

Mr. JBruchart of Ohio, who recently
bought the Frank Falk farm east or
Clare, jnoved thereon last Thursday
with bis family. The Sentinei- wel-

A Sentinel reporter dined at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Carey in
Vernon Tuesday, and besides the
"square," b-d the pleasure of looking
over bis fine farm. Mr, Carey is au
Ohioan, and whatever be might have
been led to believe about Michigan
before doming here, he is now.convinced that our farms are as productive as those of the Buckeye state. It
was with pleasure he showed us the
finccrlb of excellent corn.   W, Beolf,
who bought the Geo. Dennis farm in
Vernon, is another Ohio man who is
well pleased with our Country. He
has eight fat hogs averaging about
225 pounds, that are a little the
finest we have seen. This year be
raised 700 bushels of excellent corn,
aud this, with Mr. JB's knowledge of
feeding, doubtless accooots for the
splendid hogs, * "

concerts, each guaranteed by the
bureau to give satisfactioh ox money
refunded. The first'number is a lecture December 8th by Dr. H. W.

The Unitarian State Conference
will meet in Mt. Pleasant next autumn.
A company made up largely of Mt.
Pleasantites has been formed to exploit tbe riches of che oil fields of new
Kentucky.
Shepherd merchants have inauguar-
ated a most wonderful reform by
agreeing to close at eight o'clock each
evening except Saturdays. For the
land's sake, how late did they do business before?
From December 8th to 12th four
one-day farmers' Institutes will be
held in the county, one each at Herrick, Brinton, Weidman and Broom-
field town ball. The round-up meet*
ing will be held at Mt. Pleasant in
January. /
As**- part of the county drainage
system it is proposed to construct in
Wise township Wnat is known as the
Loomis drain, 2,080 rods long with a
branch 581 rods long- November 24th
is the day set by the Judge of Probate
Maxwell for hearing the case,- if any
.objections arise. .
The Grand Rapids electric railroad
survey crew met with a hold-up near
the Vernon church, a farmer refusing
to permit them to cross his farm.
Col, Boynton avoided violence by filing a $5,000 bond with the Probate
judge and the survey was then submitted to without any shooting. It
is now complete from Grand Rapids
to Gladwin.
As a part of the plan of giving all
tbe county R. F. D. Service Col. O. V.
R, Pond of the TJ. S. post office department has recently made investigations for the establishment of another R, F. D. route from Shepherd
northeast. The people of east Vernon
and west Wise are also anticipating
the establishment of a route into
their territory from Clare.
The primary money to be paid over
to the county from the state for the
November apportionment amounts to
$18,792 50—$2.50 for each person of
school age of which there are 7,517 in
the county. This sum with tbe 60
cents at the May apportionment
amounts to $23,302.70. The state tax
Is $19,024 or $4,278.70 less the amount
paid over to the county by the state.
H. E. Brickney, a private detective
who testified against Clyde Priestly,
who as a result of Brickney's testimony is held under $1,000 bonds,,
charged with being' connected with
the death of Geneva Bradt, at Shepherd, was mobbed by a crowd ot
Priestly's friends last week Monday.
Brickney defended himself with his
revolver against the attack by firing-
three shots into the crowd, but nb one
was injured. Brickney lives at La-
Porte, Midland county, and was employed by the prosecution. He was
apparently arrested and thrown Into
jail with Priestly, being put into the
same cell Over Sunday. . He pretended
to Priestly that he was charged with
a similar crime, and testified in the
examination that he got a confession
from Priestly. Priestly's hearing was
had before justice Wellman of Shepherd. The trial at the circuit court
at Mt, Pleasant before Judge Dodds
the latter part of this month promises
to be be a sensational one. Kelley
Searls of tthaca and T. W. Whitney
-Of St. Louis' have been engaged as
conncei for Priestly while F. Mc-
Naraara of Mfc Pleasant is to assist
Prosecuting Attorney Dusenbury ia
Ithecaise.
