OFFICIAL VIsIT.--As mentioned last
week, Grand Patriarch j. F. Brown paid
Stella Encsmpment, No. II, l. O. o. F.,
an eflicial visit last Monday evening,
special meeting of the Encsmpment
having been called by Chief Patriarch
VIM. Rule, for the occasion. The great
heat Of the day and evening prevented as
full an attendance as usually greets an
official visit, but those who came were
amply repaid for coming. Mr.. Brown
made most favorable impression on the
brotherhood, as indeed upon all who
formed his acquaintance, and it was a
matter of regret that the presence Of his
official duties were such that he could
not mako longer stay.

SUpsRvIsoR.-Ths office Of Supervisor,
while enc of the most impoI tant offices in

p,id SO poorly indeed, that men Of the
rirht capacity and business integrity rare
iy care 20 take tho time from their own
business to attend to its duties. The can

be brought out against their own desire.
The Third Supervisor District must
choose Supervisor this Fall and no bus
mess man seemed to care for the position.
Mr.. Guthrie had performed its duties for
,ir successive years and declined re-
slestion, so it looked as though the elec
ton would 90 by default. A number of
gentlemen from Cox's Bar precinct there
upon addressed letter to Ellis Flowers,
Esq. Of Canon City. requesting him to
bscomes candidate. Mr.. Flowers thought
that Canon City having had the Super.
visor for twelve years should yield her
claims to the lower part Of the District,
but as no one from that section will ac-
cept the position, Mr.. Flowers has con
..nted to run. Those who know Flowers

NEW PAPER.-The first number of the

for public favor is a six column sheet, the
same sze as the Trinity Press, printed
with the same press, which done pioneer
work in Trinity. The News, as its name
imports is newsy, the local columns being
well filled with local intelligence, while
it starts with fair share Of advertising
patronage. B. II. Evans is the proprie
tor. We hope and think the paper will
be a success, for the population of Scott
Valley is amply sufficient to sustain a
good local paper, suck as the Nees gives
promise of being. We clip the following
items Of interest from the copy before us:
j. w. Franklin, owner Of the Mt.
Hope quartz claim, made this Office
friendly call last week, and reports fa-
vorsLly from his district in quartz mat
ters. He has taken out five tons of high
grade rock, and will have crushing
made as soon as Diggles & Hopper get
their quartz mill in operation, which will
be in about ten days, when we hope to
chronicle good results.

one of the first we remember having
penned as subscriber to the NeWs, call
cd Monday and reported the Cinnabsr
mines over in Trinity Valley as doing re-
markably we'll this season, having paid

STRAITS INSANE CHARGES.
Ho,c He Puts Money in His Parse at the
Expense of the Public.
TT n

Hosc He Puts Money ia His Parse at the
Expense Of the Public.
LIE Sueur Sentinel.
One of Straits organs, the Shakopee
Courier, publishes what purports to be an
official statement from the State auditors
Office of the majors account with the hos
pital for insane as one of its trustees. The
total number of days that this statement
shows Strait to have been in attendance at
meetings of the hospital trustees foots up
sc, and the number of trips made is given
as q. For these II visits and &c days at
tendance, Strait has received from the hos
pital funds total of $563.1O. Now let US
see how much of vindication of Straits
honesty this statement furnishes. Under
the law he could only receive from the hos
pital return of the money he had actually
paid out for necessary hotel expenses and
railroad fare. Allowing five cents per mile
for railroad fare-the highest ever charged
the fare between Shakopee and St. Peter
would be not over $3.50 or $500
for each round trip, which
would only make total of $4,000
leaving $458.1O for hotel bills. Dr. Bart
lett testified that the trustees generally took
meals at the hospital at the States expense,
but suppose we allow Strait So per day
the highest hotal rates-while at st. Peter,
and so cents bus fare to and from the cars
each trip, we find that Sc days. attendance
would amount to SLIP, and the bus fare for
81 trips would be $1,000, making total of
$182.5O. Deduct this from $458.10, which
is what is left of the $563.10 received after
deducting full railroad fare, and we have yet
$275.G0 that Major Strait has overdrawn, or
nearly one-half of the whole sum drawn
from the hospital funds. We have certainly
been liberal in allowing full railroad fare and
the outside charge for hotel accommodations,
notwithstanding the State supplied a
large share of the meals at the hospital.
What then was the $275.60 received for by
Strait and what legal or moral right can he
show for taking it? The only answer that
can be given is, that the wealthy member of
Congress from this district joined the other
trustees in the general steal of charging 90
and $500 per day for attendance, in open
violation of law 1t was equal to $500 every
| day Strait attended meetings of the trustees,
but it was given in testimony
that the trustees during few of the earlier
years did not charge and draw per diem for
attendance, $275.6O clearly covers the $500
and $500 per day afterward charged by and
paid to the trustees for attendance. This,
We submit, fully proves that Major Strait has
been very willing law-breaker and should
condemn him as safe law maker.
