A Few Remarks Regarding the Appoint
ment of a County Game aud
Fish Warden.

The people OF Baraga county, like
other counties, are at all times interested
In matters pertaining to the general
welfare and promotion of its respective
interests and not only should the most
competent men be chosen to an elective
office, but an appointiye one as well.
AT present the approaching appoint
ment of county game ana fish warden
is interesting the people of this county,
and the great majority haYe not been
backward in proclalming the name OF a
man whom they know TO have oeen
tried, aud found ever faithful in per-
forming the duties required in the above
named important position. That man,
we are pleased 10 announce, is y. S.
Pennock, Of Baraga, who has been a
resident OF the county for The past
thirty-tve years, and at all times worked
for It's interest Mr. Pennock has held
the position OF county game and fish
warden for seven years. or since the law
was enacted, aud has taken great pride
in faithfully fulfilling his duties and
bringing offenders to justice. There Is
certainly lot another man in the county
who is as well posted in tho game laws
or as familiar with the territory as Mr..
Pennock, and the position is such that
1t requires q man who will not ue obliged
to waste valuable time, (perhaps one or
two years. before be acquires the nee
cessary knowledge. IuE SENTINEL. IS
pleased TO support Mr.. pcnnock for this
Office for the following reasons: First,
that while he at one timc unfortunately
t:ailed in the pain OF Democracy, he
long ago discovered he error Of his way,
and became 9 staunca Republican, the
Interests of which party he has since
faithfully served and chs mpioned. Sec
ondly, because the writer Knows him to
be the man best fitted for the Office and
one who will accomplish the most good
in bringing offenders OF the game laws
promptly aud speedily to justice, and !cok-
ing after the interest of game and fish,
which will not only be of presen. value
but also in time TO come.
Mr.. PennoclS has demon strated his
ability for the Office aud shond be re-
appointed. That is the sentiment Of
the majority Of our people.

FOUND THE SNOW AND DRIFTS DEF.

Messrs. John Gustafson and ole
Fossam, who had been serving as jurors
at the circuit court last week, tell Of the
hardships they encountered in trying 10
make their way per pcdes from L'Anse
20 Stance Saturday last. On account vf
the snow storm, they knew the stage
would not make its trips that day aud
they theI efore left L'An.e at all early
hour In the morning. Scarcely hat they
ambulated five miles from L'Anse, before
they encountered huge drifts Of snow.
Late In the afternoon they arrived at
the forks Of the old Arvon road. about
nine miles from L'Anse, and being
pretty thoroughly tagged out, and feel
that they would be unable 10 proceed
much further on their journey, they
resolved 10 make their way for Arvon. a
distance Of about four miles. But here
they encountered deeper snow than
ever. They worked their way through
the snow In the woods.a shoulder deep.
all the way from the forks of the road to
ArvoD. When they arrived at Arvon
they could scarcely see the houses from
drifts Of snow. They reached Arvon at
a late hour 10 the night. and had they
had mile or two move they would have
been lost 10 the snow storm.

Explanation Regarding EXPRESS Company

Explanation Regarding EXPRESS Company.
Since the Western Express Company
commenced to operate on the South
Shore aud the $500 Line" on January 1,
there has been considerable complaint in
the various towns along these ROADS
about the delay in receiving goods from
Chicago and Milwaukee,, apd the ex-
cessive charges. The reason for this is
easily explained. The Western has its
own offices in Chicago aud Milwaukee,
and also has traffic arrangements with
the United States Express Company
whereby it reaches nearly ev'ry part OF
the country, and only through rates are
charged which are guaranteed TO be no
greater than those formerely charged by
the American Express Company, and in
many cases less. The American and
Adams companies. however, are boycot-
ting the Western, refusing to forward
their goods and advance charges, or to
recognize the Western In any way, and
the Western, In fairness to itself and
patrons, is compelled to treat the Amer
lean the same; hence goods shipped by
the American to upper peninsula points
are held at Negauaee aud Other transfer
POINTS for DAYS until the coasignee re-
mits its charges by mail. The goods are
then forwa, ded, but the consignee is
compelled to pay the full local rates on
both roads. The Western pays the ad-
vance charges Of the American from all
points except Milwaukee and Chicago,
but refuses TO pay advance charges on
the latter. because it considers itself ex-
clusiyely entitled TO that business.
1t is clear, therefore, that in ordering
goods from Milwaukee or Chhicago. our
local merchants should be careful TO
have them shipped by the Western, aud
from points where the latter has no Of
fee they should be ordered shipped by
the United States, and by so doing time
and money will be saved.

land from which the pine has been strip
ped for whatever twill bring. In many
cases the taxes are left unpaid year after
yearuntil the amonnt OF taxes exceeds
the market value OF the land, The re-
suit is that neither the owner nor any
body else will pay tho taxes. The owner
woald rather let the land go than pay
up, and others do not care to pay more
than tho value of the land for tax title
on it.

NO MANS LAND.
The Most Isolated Spot i'll New England,
With Twelve Inhabitants

With Twelve Inhabitants
If the spirit Of Bartholomew Gosnold
could return to this world and would
owe over No Mans Land, it would
likely be greatly surprised at the little
progress which has been mad towards
inhabiting that island since it was first
espied by the English navigator in the
year 1902, says the Boston Globe. No
Mans Land, it is said, was given the
name of Martha's Vineyard by Gosnold,
which name he transferred
to the main island. In it's rude and Gull
tivated state it could not ave much
Yesembied the vineyards of the past,
and Why he should have called it a Vine
yard is not quite apparent. If the wild
grape was prolific then, it is certainly
not now, and beyond a light growth
of huckleberry bushes and briars 1i1ere
is nothing else which flourishes there at
present. No Mans Land, a small island,
lies about eight miles south from Gay
Head light in the Atlantic ocean, and
Isl likely the most isolated place in the
eastern part Of the United States. There
is no account of the first settlement of
this island, but at present there are
only two families living there. The his
tory Of these strange people living on
a small island against whose shores the
mighty Atlanti beats with a deafening
roar and for weeks at a time with such
a mad rush that to land or launch a
boat is impossible, is certainly replete
with interest. No Mans Land is an egg
shaped island about three miles in cir
conference by mile wide, and the
present total population numbers twelve
persons. These are divided into two
families, as follows: George Butler, wife
and five children; Charles Lewis. wife
two children, and Israel Lewis,
brother of Charles. When it is stated
! that often these people have no COM
munication with the outside world for
a period of six months at a time, that
neither a daily, weekly nor monthly
paper, or even a letter reaches them.
! except through the kindness Of the fish
ermen who visit the shores in the sum-
mer time, their condition can be better
imagined than described. To reach No
Mans Land at this season of the wear
is a hazardous undertaking, and unless
the weather is favorable it is an inn
possibility. 1t is also an im~possibility
for those people who live on the island
to reach the mainland, SO high does the
surf run against the shores, especially
at his time Of the year. There is no
point on the island where boats can ride
safely at anchor, and the fishermen who
visit there during the spring and fall
seasons are compelled to haul their
boats ashore each night. Each fisher
man has what are called boat ladders
built from theb beach banksto the waters
edge, low tide mark, and with the aid
Of a yoke of oxen their boats are hauled
| high and dry at the close of each DAYS

Indiana and Iowa Have Excellent Fro
pects for the seaaon.
Indianapolis, April 1.-THE Indiana
weather crop bulletin avs: Although
cool and cloudy on mo days with
light frosts on several nights, the
weather in general has been quite
favorable to growing crops and farm
work. Rains fell nearly everywhere
on three days, much to the benefit OF
growing crops.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 16.-The Iowa
weekly weather 7 bulletin says: The
first half of April has given a bright
hue to crop prospects, n at the corre-
spending date there has never been a
n.ore encouraging outlook for a produc-
tive season. The temperature of the
past week was slightly above normal
and all the weather conditions were
favorable for completing seeding opera
tons and pushing the work of prepare
ton for corn planting. AS a result.
farm work is generally more advanced
than usual at this time of the year,
and the soil is in the best possible con-
dition for the reception of seed.
The acreage of small grain, corn and
potatoes will be materially Increased,
compared with the last three seasons.
The week closed with a general rain,
giving promise of abundant
for present needs in all parts OF the
state. All reports indicate a good sea-
son for fruit
