The heavy frosts OF Tuesd y and
Wednesday morning have played havoc
with potatoes and vegetables in various
parts Of the county. Mr.. Dillon, of
Laird township, informs US that the
potatoes in the Swede settlement, back
of Baraga, are cut down completely,
and Capt. Been says the crop will suf-
fer greatly in the vicinity of Huron bay.
This will be unfortunate for the farmers
OF this county as their crop of hay is al
most total failure from the long

Editor L'Anse Sentinel.
DEAR SIR:-There is a great deal of
complaint in regard to fishing at this
bay, as 1 understand the old fishermen
here have been to great expense to get
their nets made according to the laws
of the state, and year ago last spring
there was q fisherman came from the
lower part of the state, who is fishing
with small-meshed nets and catching
herring with trout and whitefsh. The
dead herring have been floating all
over the bay, and I understand the
game warden was notified two or three
times Int has taken no notice of it.
Does Baraga county pay the game
warden to watch only the Indians while
white men come here and destroy the
fishing uDmolested? think the super-
visors could spend that much money
where it would more benefit the tax
payers.
Yours Respectfully.
TAXPAYER.
NoTE While we disclaim any
knowledge OF, 70 responsibility for the
above complaint, and regard our
deputy game and fish::warden as q
competent, painstaking and fair minded
Official, we belive in giving all parties
q hearing, and il the complaint is we'll
founded, he should give the matter
proper attention. ED.

An unfortunate accident occurred ut
the Huron bay mill last Wednesday
which will cause suspension of opera
tions until some time next week. The
mill started up Monday and was run
ming along very smoothely and doing
good work until Wednesday afternoon
one of the main pulleys gave way, the
pieces flying in all directions. The
band-mill gearing was broken and the
shaft sprung badly. Luckily no one
was hurt. This is rather discourage
ing start for Mr.. De Haas. but he can
take comfort in the fact that good
ending oftentimes comes from bad
beginning.

THE HILL FREE-RUM BILL.

The infamous liquor bill now pending in the
Assembly at Albany is commonly referred TO IS
the Schaaif BILL This is due 10 the TACT that
it was introduced by and is in charge Of MI
Schaaif. one Of the members OF the Democratic
majority. But in reality it is the Hill bill-thc
bill which represents the craftsmanship and pub
lie spirit Of the Governor OF this state lis applied
TO the excise question. The excise bills which
have been sent to him by Republican Lcgsla-
lures he has vetoed, thus demonstrating that he
is the impIacable foe Of high-IcenSe and Of re-
lated schemes designed to prevent the saloons
from becoming a menace OF public progress.
Nevertheless while steadily playing into the
hand OF the rum power, the Governor has steadily
protested tbat he was the friend OF reform and
that he recognized the necessity Of some sort
of a revision of the Excise law What sort OF a
revision? The Hill bill, miscallcd the Schaaf
bill. is to be regarded as his answer
