The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1892-10-15


As is well known the varieties OF
potatoes arc we'll known TO be almost
innumerable. The old varieties run
out and new ones como In. In my
Judgment the chief reason that old
varieties fail Is because OF neglect to
mako proper selection OF seed. IL
the best potatoes in the crop are Sc
lectcd for seed. cut with two eyes TO
the piece good location is selected
and proper cultivation given old
varieties will retain their merit. Since
the seedsmen have become so enter
prising and use SO much space In the
newspapers potatoes that are not SO
good as varieties that are obsolete
are forced into popularity. Twenty
years ago l grow on my farm In
Virginia the best potato all things
considered that ever saw. 1t had a
red or purple skin. grew to enormous
size and was always mealy. 1t was
a trine strong in flavor. bat its moali-
ness made up for that and its size and
yield more than made)up for its few
defects. But 1t was unstable. The
market did not want it. grew it for
three years used it upon the table
and fed what we did not want for fam
lily use to the hogs in u cooked con-
dition. The potatoes being cooked.
bran ground oats and corn meal was
mixed with them and how my hogs
used to thrive upon that feed. The
only lesson that / would attempt to
draw from my experience Is that we
should strive to keep up the merit OF
old varieties OF potatoes by careful
selection and good cultivation. and
that potatoes are n superior feed fot
swine. Farmers Voice

Testimonial of Sarah Fyfield.

Itis with shame that I recall my disspate career in Phpnix and the loss of friends through over-indulgeuce in whisky to which I have been addicted for eight years, and nothing but heartfelt gratitude for the kind ness shown me by the management of the Ensor Institute of Phgnix and the desire to do them justice could induce me to further hu- initiate myself by reference to the past. My unfortunate history is too well known to require repetition.
 Despoled of home, friends estranged and almost bereft of reason, plunged madly into an abyss that I found myself unable to escape from. Going from bad to worse in my down. ward course l was successively an inmate of the insane asylum and the city jail, and from the latter was rescued by the Ensor Institute and cured of my malady.
 l am indeed different woman from the miserable being of the past.
 With self respect restored l am conscious Of my strength 60 lead different life in the fu- ture, as have no desire for liquor.
 ask my old friends not to regard me too harshly, but to throw the mantle of charity over my past great fault.

MORPHINE CURE. Walter Hale'S Testimonial.
 Facts are Stubborn Things. HeSe is Evidence Sufficient to Dispel All SkeptiCism.

I have been victim of the opium habit, and the long train of evils incl dent thereto, for fourteen years.
 To say that my life was miserable during thesgreater portion of that per Tod wonld but feehly express my suffer ing. My brain and body were literally wrecked by the complication of mala- dies the habit entailed. and with hope abandoned and the certainty of a speedy death, if l continued it, in de- spar sought the promised relief of the Ensor Cure, in Phoenix. After twelve days treatment 1 was entirely of the drug, and am rapidly gaining health and strength, to which have been a stran- ger for many years.
 None but the opium or morphine "fend" can conceive my delight at the result, and to such 1 earnestly appeal to take the treatment, being confident they will find relief. Every imaginable attention was shown me at the institute by the management, and their facilities afford the convenience of pleasant home.
 The medicines administered to me were perfectly harmless, or else Tn my weakened condition, I could not have survived them, much less having stead fly gained flesh, under their influence.
 The treatment cannot be said to be even heroic, certainly not painful or facilitating, and every effort is made to add to the comfort of the patient.
 In my acquired strength l feel that the "Grave has been robbed of vic tory," and have no fear of recur- renee of my old habit.

A SEA PORT. Within Arizona's Fossil
 bilitieS. A Tour of Investigation to Adair Bay. A Gentleman Representing Eastern Corporations Is Now Preparing to Set Out From Phoenix on an Brand of Inn
 portance.

There is now a gentleman in the city in the interest of two eastern corpora lions, who IS about to set out on an in- yestigstion tour 10 Adair bay. He does not say what companies he represents or what is the object of his investlgs. ton, but those who have talked with him believe that it is to discover whether the bay may become a deep water hsrbor and the difficulties that would be encountered in reaching it by railroad from Phoenix.
 The project of building a railroad to this bay has been thought of. but per hsps never seriously considered unless it is SO now. There is an unusually vague idea extant about this bay. It is not definitely known whether it is con- fined to Mexican territory or whether it extends across the line into Arizona. There are several persons here who have seen the bay, but there is difference of opinion as to how far it reaches out from the gulf. One prospector says that the head of the bay is from 75 to l25 miles from Phoenix. No attempt has been made to ascertain it's depth. The water dashes up against a rocky shore and if the water is of sufficient depth it would form an ideal harbor.
 The climate about the head of the bay is ssid to be salubrious and pecul- isrly adapted to the requirements of a health resort. The country, however, could be irrigated only by water taken from near the head of the Gils. The Colorado is nearer, but the conforma- tiOn of the ground prevents the taking of water in that direction.
 Should the Nicaraugua canal be opened important sea ports will be de- yeOped on the Gulf and town estab- lished at the head of the gulf would easily become a port of importance provided only that inland communica- liOn could be obtained. The result of this investigation will be awaited with interest as it will possibly be of great importance to Phoenix. and not only to Phenix but to the entire territory.

ONLY A SURMISE.
But at the Same Time a Req.
 Sonable One.
Why the Bill Opening the White Mountain Indian Reservation
 Passed the House.

The opening of the White Mountain Indian reservation is creating great deal of interest. The bill has already passed the House and there is little doubt that it will receive favorable treatment in the Senate. The benefit to be derived by Phoenix is apparent to all who know that within the territory about to be thrown open there is sup posed to be wealth of coal. The agitation which has probably been re- :pOnsible for congressional action was begun more than year ago by several gentlemen of Phoenix, but the public generally had forgotten about it, as 1t was difficult at that time 70 see what advantage would be gained by the opening. The territory is nearly 100 miles distant, the road to 1t nearly lm- passable.
 It is said that the principal object of Governor Murphy's recent visit Co Washington was to secure legls- latiOn upon it, and that he was accom- panied by officers of the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phoenix railroad. It IS con ieCtured from this, and some claim to have other information, that 1t IS the intention of the road to take in the opened reservation on it's way to Florence. It is worthy of note that the bill was passed by the House within two days after the party reached Wash ing,on. Should it come about that railroad communication may be opened with coal fields 80 near home, one ol the fond dreams of PhGnicians would be realized.

Why the King of Greece Mourps.

The king of Greece has just lost little dog which he came by in rather a curi. ous way. He was at some maneuvers a number of years ago, standing amid his staff, when it suddenly made it's ap- pearance, no one knew whence, and stationed itself at the kings feet All attempts to dislodge it were fruitless, and it remained there until the end of the review When the king went to his carriage the little dog walked in front of him, "as proud as Punch" with his tail erect, and scrambled first into the carriage before any one could say him nay. Arrived at the palace he darted in first, and insisted on remaining with the king. His majesty. who is slightly super. stitious, said the dogs persistency was a good omen; that at any rate hehad one faithful friend, and from that time for ward it slept in his bedroom and scarce ly ever left him. It was a most super cilious little dog, and would never take notice of any one except the king, whom it seemed to idolize The dog died the other day, much to the sorrow of its master. London Graphic.

''The Y. NJ. c.

Many persons who hav come to the city with view of making permanent investments have expressed surprise that no such organization had yet been formed. Somehow man, whether Christian or not, feels safer it his money is locked up in Christian community.

SNOW IN THE FOUR PEAKS.
A Ranchman Predicts a Late Rainy
 Season.

Season.
 Robert D. Brown, the well known miner and ranchman living near Mount Reno, was in the city yesterday. MT. Brown says that snow Is about two feet deep in the Four Peaks range and that in the basins and foothills there IS an abundance of water. He is of a scientific turn of mind and predicts plenty of water for the valley the com ing season. He also predicts that the rainy season will be late this year. From signs, which are reliable, he says the next storm in the mountains will be snow storm and that no rain can reasonably be expected there until after corporation has been in progress some two weeks. The snow is already melt Ing slightly, but the water IS taken up by immense boulder basins 80 that the bed of the Verde is yet perfectly dry.
 Cattle are doing well on the green paSturage in the basins.

NEARING THE END.
HerCulean Work by the Four
 Leaders.
Jay Dewey Yet In First-Chas. Solo, mon In Second, but Uncomfort-
 ably Close to F. B. Gabbert.

The past week indicates that the worlds fair contest is growing warmer as the end approaches. It has mar rowed now to the four leaders, whose efforts appear to be about equal, so that the relative standing of the candidates remains unchanged.
 Jay Dewey, of Talbot X Hubbard, is yet in the lead by good margin, which after all, is open to annihilation. Chas. F. Solomon, of I. E. Solomon, of Solo, knoxville, is in second'place, though his lead over F. B. Gabbert, of the E. F. Kellner store, is hardly a-safe one.
