The roads of Canandiagua are built
ten feet in width and to depth of ten
inches, except in wet places, where the
stone are sometimes put on to depth
of eighteen inches. The cost of these
roads is from $4OO to 5000 mile exclu.
sive of the ordinary highway labor, or
about 5000 mile. After a road has
been built, the people living on such
road are no longer assessed for the Or
dinary highway tax and pay only their
pro rata of the general tax.
The system of road building in sue.

can most heartily endorse and recon-.

road improvement is to be left with the

system than that of Canandiagua.-

The Nicaragua Canal.

One of the first questions to secure
hearing upon the reassembling of Con-
gress in December, was that of the
status of the much buffeted Nicaruga
Canal project. The canal has staunch
and patriotic defender in Senator Nor
gan. To speak in general terms, and
not to enter here upon the discussion
OF details, it would seem clear propo.
sition that the political and financial
authority and control of the United
States Government ought to dominate
the affairs of the Nicaragua Canal. 1t
Is true that Nicaragua is not portion
oil the United States; and yet in a very
important sense any deep water chan
mel across Central America would con-
stltute most essential part of our ma
tional coast line. England g interest
in the Suez Canal on account of her
hold upon India has a very shadowy
validity in the nature of things, when
compared with the propriety of full
control by the United States of the
Nicaragua Canal. For, after all, India
is great Asiatic empire pertaining in
to way to the integrity of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
and probably destined in the early fu-
ture to resume the autonomy which
British conquest has suspended. The
control of the Nicaragua Canal might
better be compared with that of the
irish Channel as forming an essential
route between parts of one sovereign
state.-From "The Progress of the
World, " in the January Review of Re-
views.

To Restrain TubercuIosIs.

At the meeting of the board of health Thursday evening a recom- mendation was made that thorough compulsory disinfection of houses and lodgings in which tuberculous patients have died should be en- forced by the officials.
 pr. Black strongly recommends, also, the compulsory cremation of the bodies of the tuberculous dead, where the relatives are opposed to that mode of prevention of the spread ni consumption. Itis stated by Dr. B.dck that inhumation of tuberculous corpses results in the spread of consumptIon.-Los An geles Times.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 25.-A spe cial from Jefferson City. Missouri says Rev. J. T. Johnson, D. D., pas tor of the First Baptist church, who has just returned from tour of Turkey and Holland. last night in a sermon made the statement that American Minister Terrell ought to be hanged. He declares that the American Minister to Turkey has joined the Mohammedan church, and is thus aiding in the persecu ton and killing of Christians, in- stead of protecting them. The sit uation is far worse than reported to the papers, and Terrill sends out false reports. Rev. Johnson and his party of thirty-lour members signed a petition to the President to To move Terrell.

Over twelve hundred bodies are to be removed from the Hebrew cemetery, Gilbroth Olam, on Dolores street, to the Home of Peace ceme- tery, San Mateo county.

discovered this group, bought the Pratt mill and put force of men on and has worked the mines at a large profit ever since. He has milled about fourteen hundred tons of ore, and the smallest force he has em- ployed is six men. E. T. Hartman, G. ]. Luster, Geo. FreYds and B. w. Ragave are leasing on the First Home, short distance below the Banks mill, and have just delivered several tons at the above mill. Theirs is more silver ore than gold, but runs high, and they are highly pleased with the claim. The Little Annie is owned and is being devel- oped by Messrs. Arnolds and John son. This mine is doubtless going to be one of ATizona's bonanzas. Located in 1898, it has developed itself, and the property is being we'll and quickly developed. It has six shafts at regular intervals. The deepest is % feet, connected by drift at the 75-foot level with an- other shaft SS feet deep. The other shafts are 30, 55, 90 and 45 feet, re- spectiyely. The ore on the surface was good, but at depth of forty five feet a pay streak of very high grade ore came in, small at first, but it gradually cut out the other ledge matter until it extended from wall to wall. The ore is sulphurets and iron sulphurets, but all through carries free gold. The ore also car ries considerable silver and copper, and will work from wall to wall one hundred dollars. This may seem exaggerated, but it is absolutely cor
 rec.. A cross cut will soon be started to tap the Annie lode at the l25-foot level. This will cut three other small leads running parallel with the Annie. On the dump IS a car load of ore ready for shipment, which has been taken out in sinking. Mir. Arnold also owns the Clara, a silver and lead proposition. Mir. | Johnson is interessed in the Last Chance, Ada, and south extension of the Ada, gold properties situated near the Henrietta. The Christmas Git, owned by Con and Whitaker, is another promising claim. In the past yeat they have taken out, with mortar and pan, over twelve hun dred dollars. Ore from this mine has been found worth Sl0 per pound. The Belcher, owned by Messrs. Rush and Wormser, needs no mention, 1t having produced its tens of thou sands. The Red Rock, owned by Askew and Bliss, joins the BelcAer on the south. A recent mill test of forty-two tons plated forty-two dol lars per ton. This claim has about seven hundred feet of development work done, and is now working two shifts sinking a shaft, which shows a fine body of ore at eighty feet. On the dump are two hundred and fifty tons of ore which will work ten dol lars. N. B.-This district seems in fested with raw hide mining experts.

SHORT TALK ON ADVERTISING.

BY the Editor of this Paper.
During the past two weeks THE GAZETTE
has received proposition from The Centaur
Co. of New York to do IA inches OF display
advertising and two reading notices Tor one
wear for s26 The Centaur Co.. coupled with
its proposition a letter stating that it was

was $50, less the usual discounts for solid

about that rate. We see the adv. in many OF
what we consider our first-class exchanges,
and must believe that the word OF the
Centaur Co. applies to them. After our rate
was given to the Company the latter replied:
THE matter was carefully gone over be-
fore contracts were drawn, and besides,
YOUR letter of the 18th inst. would indicate
that any alteration we might be able TO
make, would only be waste of time. We
think you will concede that we are using
good papers, and we must pay all our work

1t is surprising, sure. 1t is this that keeps
down the country newspaper. 1t is because
of this gigantic slaughter of advertising

patent medicine houses are fighting the

A JOLLYIN6 PARTY.

The Hon. Shamus L. Byram is al
ready commencing to feel of the pop
ular pulse with reference to his return
to the position of clerk of court, an
Office which he will have held for
eight years when his present term ex-
pires. The Hon. Shamus also aspires
to the position of boss of Redwood
county Republicans, and with those
two ends in view it is only natural
that he even now commences jollying
up the possible Republican delegate
from the country.
One of the latter came over from
his farm near the Grove on Tuesday
or Wednesday of last week. The
Hon. Shamus gathered him in and
entertained him in right royal style.
He was jollied up at the refreshment
dispensaries and shown every portion
of the tiger hereabouts. On Thurs
day another one of the boys at the
court house wanted to jolly up the
possible delegate with the view OF
sounding him for Shamus and the
machine. He invited him to dinner
The invitation was accepted. But
Shamus held charge of the possible
delegate up to the noon hour and
turned him over to the other officia
without warranting his future conduct
The possible delegate attended the
dinner party but before the dinner
was over there seemed to be a yearn
ing way down in his bread and mea
cupboard that something wanted te
come up. There was q hurryine
away from the table and down to thu
court house. Here the possible dele
gate was stretchedout on the large table

after sound came from that room

Redwood Reveille, also controlled BY
Mr.. Hughes, and had it not been for
q protest against the admission Of the
Belview paper as mail here and
supposition that the same item from
the same type would appear in the
Rsveille. the entire edition of the lat
ter would have probably successfully
been published through the mail.
However, the publication was made
successfully at Belview and we pre-
sumo that if the law laid down by
the Redwood postmaster is correct, he,
the postmaster will have Mr.. Hughes
indicted.
Had it not been for the servile at
titude of the Redwood postmaster Mr..
Hughes would have twice violated a
law for which he censured this paper
for disregarding. In fact, The GA
zErrE reported what had happened
and Mr.. Hughes was actually boom
ing a thing to occur.
But we hold our former position, and
do not censure our brother. The law
will never hold water, if tested, and
we hold that the postmaster at Red
wood Falls and his bondsmen, or the
administration, could be held liable in
an action for damages in Federal
court. The law was never intended
to restrict the publication of honest
news items such as published by this
paper and Mr.. Hughes in his papers.
It was never,intended to give post
master the power to edit a newspaper
not owned by him or to rush into a
newspaper Office and demand the cut
ting out of an item to which he OBJ
jected. If so, he would be an auto
crat. TIe could destroy the legality
of any publication-in fact, he could
be more of despot than the real
owner. He could order criticism of
his own actions cut from the columns
of a paper and refuse admission of the
papers until his order was obeyed or
until an order was received from
Washington compelling the admis-
sion, delay that would destroy the
legality of any paper.
The ruling is restriction on the
liberty of the press and of the free
dom of speech guaranteed by the con-
stitution, and for which some gay post
master or his bondsmen, or the adj
ministration will some day have to
heavily pay for.

Quite a number of the machine pa
pers throughout the State are speak
ing of Hon. j. F. jacobson of Lac
qui Parle county for State Auditor.
It appears that these machine organs
are not aware of the fact that Hon.
r. G. Dunn has four years. lease on
the Office, lease expiring Jan. 1889,
and at this time il looks as though
the people we're willing to extend the
time. A number of honest minded
papers have also mentioned Mr.. JAG
OLSON for secretary of state. Mr.. JAG
OLSON resides in the Second congress
sional district. At the present time
the district has no state officer. It
has always had the secretary or treas
urer, in view of it's large Republican
vote. Aside from locality the Office
has generally been thrown to Scan
dinavian. Mr.. jacobson is one. The
Hon. j. F. would make a mighty
strong man for that Office next year.
