COMPLETION OF THE NEW
TELEGRAPH LINE.

At noon yesterday it was announced
that the lev telegraph line between
Eureka and Belmont had been COM
pleted and ready for business. Many
congratulatory dispatches passed be-
tween citizens of the two towns. The
Courier sent greeting to the SENTINEL,
and the SENTINEL in return made due
acknowledgment Of its appreciation Of
the courtesy and, as well, of the auspi-
cious eventswhich is destined to build
up a closer intimacy between the two
communities. Telegraphic commune
cation is q blessing that can never be
too highly priced. In this instance it
is especially beneficial aud important.
1t shows, in the first place, that the
vast mineral OF the country
lying south Of US have not been under
estimated by the men who projected
this enterprise. 1t shows, too, that
that particular section of the Common
wealth is steadily and surely growing
in wealth and population. We are
wont, in fact, to viewthis Belmont line
as the first link in . tslegraphic system
which will ultimately stretch away to
the Colorado river and beyond, Civ
ing us direct communication with tho
rich mining districts In tho southern
portion OF this State and Arizona, to be
followed At NJ remote period by the
iron house laundering along to a on
nection with the Southern Pacific Rail
road, thus placing US in = position to
avail ourselves Of q choice of routes
in the transaction Of our business with
either the East or tho West. Then will
the long agitated question OF rail way
charges have been satisfactorily solved,
and then also will the Great East have
been placed on the high road to that
degree Of prosperity and greatness
which her marvellous mineral wealth
renders it certain that she must one
day attain. In this light, and for this
promised stride in the direction of pro-
gress and development, We say all hail
to the means which gives US instan,a-
communication with our sister
town. Following is one of many mes
sages of similar nature received at
this Office yesterday:
BELMONT, Sept. IS, 1876.
EUREKA SENTINEL: Belmont sends
greeting to Eureka, and hopes the
bonds of connection may be stronger
than those of wire.
.... CITIZENS OF BELMONT.
Speaking for and in behalf of the
citizens of Eureka, we have to say that
the kindly sentiments G expressed by our
Belmont neighbors are most cordially
reciprocated at this end of the line.

Tho next President of the United
States will be inaugurated on the 5th
OF March, the 4th being on Sunday.
The infrequency Of the 4th day of
March of every fourth year falling on
Sunday is the reason why that par
ticular day was selected for the inau-
guration of q President. This event
has occurred once or twice since the
foundation of the Government, and
will not happen again for a century.
Some two years ago we clipped the
above from an exchange. We have
now to credit it to one of our exchanges
in the western part of the State, pub.
lished as original matter. 1t consti.
tutes rather an amusing series of blum
ders. In the first place, the fourth day
of March was never formally selected
% the opening day of a new admins
tration. 1t was determined by the &C
cident that the ninth State to ratify the
Constitution took action on Wednes-
day, March 4th, 1889. The Constitu-
ton went formally into operation on
that day. Washington was first inau.
gurated April 30th, 1889. In the next
place, the 4th of March, in Inaugural
ton year, falls no more infrequently
on Sunday than any other day in the
calendar. According to the Julian CAL
endar, it would occur every 2sth year.
The Gregorian calendar, which makes
the centennial year $1,000, although
Invisible by four, not a leap year inter-
feres with this regularity, but no moro
sfiicts March 4th than July Sd,
or any other day. Monroe, at
his second term, vas inaugurated
March 5th 1921. Zachary Taylor
was inaugurated March 9Th,
lS49. Tilden will be insugurated
March 5th, 1877, and on the 5th day Of
March, in 1917, 1915, 1878, 2001, 2O29,
and so forth, the Presidents OF the
continent will DO installed

Friday morning G.. w. Huffaker,
County Treasurer, says the Reno
Journal, brought his buggy into town
and placed it al Hammond & Wilson's
stable. In a short time it was taken to
the Fair grounds, two ladies being in
it. Upon its return to town the en-
ployes of the stable began to wash it
out with q hose. The man at the noz
zle was not a little startled at seeing =
snake suddenly dart from under the
seat and leap for him. No time was
lost in killing the reptile. When upon
being measured he was found to be
ffty-seven inches long. He must have
got into the buggy at Huffaker Station,
and lay there until the water aroused
him. The ladies who rode were no
doubt saved from q great scare by his
keeping quiet.

they had pitched their tents on a hill
above the depot, and as they marched
across Union avenue tn the Broad
Gauge saloon, called out. "HurrAh,
boys, for Hayes!' Not solitary cheer
responded. One of the sergeants step
ped out of the crowd and remarked:
"You have made u mistakes; We don't
cheer for Hayes, We are Tilden men,
"What! you do not mean TO say you
oppose the men who give you food and
clothing?"

and his gang, and a. for our food and
clothes, we will excuse him for that if
he will let uS loose.'
''Oh, nonsense, boys; you don't
mean to say you go back on Grant and
Hayes?"
"Yes, we GO back ON any man who
keeps two.thirds OF our boys in blue
down in Dixie to keep white mon
down beneath the niggsrs, and who
sends a handful OF us north to be kill

guns and bullets furnished by Grants
brother Orville and his deputy post

That Road.

The road on the town line between
town 81 and 80, running directly west
from Cheboygan to the county line
should, if possible, be constructed the
present year. We do not think there is
a resident of ChebOygan but whom lit
tie reflection will convince that the road
is necessity to the prosperity and growth
of the village, as we'll as for the improve
ment of the country. Wagon roads are
to village what railroads are to a city.
They are feeders which reach out and
bring to the place that which is essential
to its growth. No one but those who have
been upon the ground are aware of the
rapidity with which this part Of the
county is being settled and improved.
Cheboygan needs the trade of the people,
and must reach out and secure it before
any rival, however small and unpreten-
tious it may now seem, can take it away
from us. New countries grow rapidly,
and there is no safety in the plea that
there is no place that can compete
with us. There is not now, but who
shall say there will not be in year or
two years hence? This road once built,
and the business once secured, it cannot
be taken away. The benefits accrning
to the country are equal to those Of the
village. Is there any one then who will
say that it will not pay to build the road

An Enterprise Which Will Paw

The manufacture of oils from winter
green and other plants of similar ma
ture is paying business in many parts
OF the country, and i'm some places the
plants are grown for the purpose. There
is In this country an unlimited supply
| of winter-green plants, which would, un-
der the management of n skillful man.
produce large quantities OF the oil, fol
which there is large demand at large
prices. Oil of cedar and hemlock is also
much used, both medically and in the
arts, and brings good prices. The in
vestment for producing these articles
need not be large, and there is no bust
ness of which We know that pays as
large percentage upon the investment.
There is small mandatory of these
oils near the Sault, but the expense there
of manufacturing them is greater than
it would be here. The cedar and hem
lock boughs at that point cost quite
largely, while here there is so much OF
that timber being cut that the boughs
cln be had for the hauling. Winter.
green plants abound in the woods. We
have no doubt that the enterprise in
proper hands could be made to pay.

A Successful Whittier.

As ga whittier VIM. Menagh is success.
A sample of his work can be seen at the

steamboat, built after the model of Nor
thern boat. Every thing about it is as
perfect as can we'll be made in model,
even to the wheel. The hull is whitfield
out Of one piece of wood, while the cabin
and pilot house are constructed out of
material from cigar boxes, and oiled,
while the hull is painted white, the colors
presenting good contrast. 1t took Mr..
Menagh nine days to white it out, which
any one looking at it, would consider
rather quick time. What makes it more
wonderful, is the fact that about eight
years ago, Mr.. Menagh lost the use of his
right hand by an accident, and since that
time has learned to use his left. The
boat is little beauty,Tand It's worth any
body's time, Ito call at the Benton House

load at the Spencer House Capt. VanAl-
len, of the Island House, who was going
over, remarked to "Alex:" IL suppose
you have rope to tie around our necks
so as to pull us out should We get in the

finished when an old lady, who had just
got comfortably seated in the sleigh, be-
gan to get out as fast as possible. She
would not go oversize would wait
year first. No persuasions or explana-
tons could induce her to change her
mind, and she started off home fully de-
termined that she would risk the dangers
of navigation rather than the dangers OF
the ice.
