The sugar makers in this vicinity want
a weigher appointed near here. There
have been about forty licenses for the
bounty on maple sugar granted in this
part of the town, and in the edge of Con
cord, and they make from fifteen to forty
hundred pounds. A large proportion is
shipped every day or as fast as it is made,
and they don't want to be obliged to
go to any particular point to ship, as
the distance is about the same to four or
five different points.

SiErH RKEGATE.

n. T. George has been appointed adj
ministrator of the late John Henderson
estate Edward Miller and James John
ston are the commissioners. We under
stand that the farm is to be sold and that
a man from Boston has made an offer
which will probably be accepted.
In the high school Miss Perham fin
ished two years of good thorough work
Mabel Hall and Nena Mcdonald had no
marks during the year. Robert Far
uuharson was absent one day. During
the past term the three named had no
marks and Bella Sargent but one-half
dav absent Both schools closed with
rhetorical exercises of great merit. The
hours drill in vocal music twice a week is
proving of great value and the enthu-
siasm created among the pupils is sur
prising and the progress is rapid. Let
us have more music in all our schools.
The school recently closed was very
successful, considering the amount of
sickness during the winter. In the pri-
mary, Miss Hall completed six years of
faithful work. In this school Walter
Hartman has had no mark during the
past year. Billy Farquharson was alb
sent but one day and John Carpenter,
but two in the same time. During the
past term there were As scholars. Of
these Al had no tardy marks. During
the spring term there were no tardv
marks. In the fall term there were six,
and six in the winter term just closed,
making but 2 in the school year of 80
weeks.
At the town meeting some from this
section were opposed to voting for an
iron railing to be placed on the granite
wall built last fall at the cemetery at the
Corner on the ground that it was asked
for as an ornament, its necessity not be-
ing claimed. The wall alone cost $431,
and in view of the fact that the people of
South Ryegate were obliged to fence
their cemetery by subscription, it seemed
like adding insult to injury to ask for adj
ditional expense solely on the ground of
ornament. The vote to leave it to the
discretion of the selectmen was carried.
We hope they will put on the railing,
and further, with the precedent thus made,
we trust that each cemetery in town
may not only be properly fenced but that
they may be ornamented and kept in a
neat and respecta bic condition, a thing
which has never yet been done, to the
shame of everybody.

There perhaps never was a time when cattlemen should feel more encouraged at the outlook than at this particular time, while the facts are just the reverse and cattlemen are today more Respondent and dis couraged than ever before. It is true, the immediate outlook is not at all encouraging; the market is low and will probably continue so through the present season. This year, how ever, will certainly be the end of this depression, and those who have cattle and plenty of range after this year will certainly be in a prosper ous condition. Then why this de- spondency? Why not, when the facts fully justify it, take cheerful view of the situation and help to make the business prosperous by giving it the air of prosperity to which it is entitled.-Fort Worth Journal.

The $. F. P. & r, Go. have com pleted the first II miles of grade out of Ash Fork, with the exception of the bridges, having been on this since early in January. About 300 men and teams are now at work be- tween miles II and IS and hope to have that portion completed by the middle of July or first of August. From mile IS the work will be ex- ceedingly heavy, as the surveyors spent some three months in getting down off the "rim." It is thought that the following ten miles from mile IS will cost as much as the first IS and will require about the same length of time to grade.- Prescott Courier.

Tariff CheStnutS.

MT. George Brickett of Lynn Mass, in a little pamphlet called Tariff Chestnut" very cleverly ex. poses the protective game in the following proposition:
 fyou think it wise to protect an industry that you are not directly interested in. I make this proposi- tion to you: Tax yourselves only 1 cent year and give the proceeds to me and I will open a new Amer ican industry, agreeing to employ 200 native American laborers at wages of $500 year, or I will give them $450 a year and allow them 365 holidays. You are following me as an arithmetician, In round numbers there are $60,00O,00O peo- pie to be taxed:
 One cent from each amounts to - $500, 900 Twelve hundred laborers at $450 each
 would take this amount t................5 540, 900
 Leaving for me me................... SC. 900
 In the new industry 200 laborers are employed at good wages and very light work. Sixty thousand dollars is fair remuneration for my severe mental strain. Twelve hundred and one of our population pure native Americans-are en- gagged in a business profitable to them, and the other 59,99S,7 ,799 are losers of only one cent each. This business I will continue and 1 will further agree not to reduce the wages of my help, to employ only natives, and not to import laborers from Hungary, Poland or Italy to compete with them. There shall be no shutdown" no strikes and in ten years I agree to have free li- brary, gymnasium and hospital for my help. I further agree to find politicians who will point to this new industry as one that has grown up entirely under the benefcent workings of protection. I Twill refer to this industry myself as depend ing absolutely upon the glorious American idea of protection.

The Future of Feeders.
A prominent Nebraska feeder

A prominent Nebraska feeder sizes the situation up thusly:
 Suppose that men have lost mon- ey feeding cattle, will they quit it for that reason? Not bit of it. We have got to feed. We have the corn in abundance, and the more of it we have to ship the less money we get for it. The day never will come when we are not large feeders of cattle. This fact may as we'll be marked down now, and let breeders and feeders figure out their saliva ton with it in full view. If there is any saving grace in the wild-eyed, long legged. straight ribbed, narrow constructed, tucked-up-in-the-hank steers that are fiocking toward the market every day nobody has rec- ognized it. What is wanted IS the use of a class of bulls that are bred for beef, and that have been bred squarely up to the mark. Indiyid- ual worth is the thing to be kept in mind now more than ever before. If you are going to keep cattle, re- member they must be good ones. If they are not kept specially for milk purposes, then the beef idea must prevail. If not cattle on our quar- ter and half section farms, then what? It is time then to sell out, and not remain to blockade the railroads and over-run the elevators with endless train loads of corn at 15 to 20 cents bushel.

A New Bonanza.

Partial information from we'll in formed men leads The Times to make the prediction that within an other year new gold camp will be developed in this county which will beequal to Harqua Hala. For near ly six months quiet prospects have been carried on, experts from other localities have been looking over the ground and representatives of Eastern capital have been interest ed Investigators. The exact location of the new field is as yet secret known only to few. A sample of the gold quartz was shown in this office a few days ago which was about as big as a mans fist and cov- cred thickly with gold. The extent of the ground is of course not yet known, but more than a mile has been traced on the surface. No prospect shafts have been sunk and no location filed, as the parties are very anxious to keep the whole mat ter quiet until the arrival of gen. tleman who is daily expected.
 As near as we have been able to learn, the new district is within 100 miles of Yuma and not very far dis tant from the Colorado river. It is the intention of the prospective owners to locate all the good ground, thoroughly prospect it tandifit turns out we'll to put up 20 or 40 stamp mill. They are thorough mining men and want to find out whether they have mine first before going to the expense of a mill. This is much better than putting up an ex- penSlve mllI and then hndlng out if they have a mine.
 The trade of this new camp will all go through Yuma, and will mean thousands of dollars more trade to our merchants and the steamers. It is also the intention of the owners toemploy none but first class Amer ican miners at the best wages pre- vailing While we dre very conser- vative as to alleged new strikes, we believe that in less than a year 50 to 100 men will be employed in this new district and their labors result ing in a steady stream of golden buHion.-Yuma Times.
