n jap Suicides.


Last Tuesday morning one of the
JapG who had been working on the
section at Yaquina got tired of his
earthly career. He therefore pro-
ceeded to "shuffle off this mortal
coil" by going to the old bunk
house and tying one end of rope
to his neck and the other to beam
and quietly choked himself to
death. When discovered the balls
OF his feet were resting on the floor.
Squire Parker, acting as coroner,
summonsed jury which investi-
gated the death, and returned a YER
dict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by his own act.
1t is supposed that his rash act was
the result Of dependency, caused
by illness and an inability to pay
his debts.

DANGER IN PERFECTION.
A Prince and Baron Initiated Stag
Up to the Killing Point.

A Prince and Baron Initiated Stag
Up to tho Killing Point.
1t would be difficult to find on record
q stranger hunting adventure than that
experienced by Prince Hohenlohe, son
of the German chancellor, and Baron
Vietinghoff recently. They went out
together to shoot stays and agreed to
decoy the animals by initiating their
call on special horn. The hunters
separated, each accompanied by a game
keeper, and went in different directions
During the course Of the day they ap-
preached each other, and each heard
the others decoy call and believed a
stately stag was before him. Initiating
the heavy steps Of the animal, they
noisily drew still nearer. The imitation
Of the steps and call was SO we'll done
that they finally arrived within ten
PAGES of each other without perceiving
their mistake.
The thicket was so dense that they
could not see through it, Both stood
still, repeating the challenge from time
to time. Each still firmly believed that
he was within few PAGES of real
stag. At last the prince, tired of wait
ing, fired thrice rapidly in the direction
of the supposed game The first bullet
glanced off the cartridge belt of Baron
Vietinghoff, the second struck his watch
and sprang off, the third fell dead from
his pocketbook we'll filled with papers.
The young baron, though hit three
times, stood unwounded. He was so con.
vinced that not his fellow hunter, but
stag, was before him that he attribut.
ed the shots to the explosion of car.
tridges in his belt and busted himself
unfastening his belt for the purpose ot
throwing it away. The astonishment Of
both when they at last found out what
had happened was great.-Berlin Spe
cial.

Crop Heather Bulletin.

Wegleam the following from the
weekly weather report:
"The grain crops are in fine con-
dition. Spring grain would, of
course, be benefited by rain, but
the absence of rain will do no ma
terial injury. Fall sown wheat
and oats headed, and bear promise
of heavy yields. In Jackson county
the grain crop promis we'll, though
it appears TO be poorer in that
county than in any other, this fact
being due to the absence of rain,
Jackson county is fruit county,
and but little more grain than what
is required for home consumption
is grown.
Early cherries have been market
ed, and the later cherries are now
coming in. Rain would seriously
iniure the cherry crop at the present
time. The first cherries were a
heavy crop, and those now coming
in will yield unusually well-but
then, cherries always yield heavily
in Oregon.
Black and raspberries are ripe.
There is possibly no more prolific
article of food grown in Oregon
than these berries. They always
do we'll no natter what the climatic
co nditions may be, the berry crop
is always large.
The fruit outlook continues to be
encouraging. The. apple, pear,
plum and prune trees are loaded
with fruit. The peach trees are
filled, as we'll. There are fewer
insects this year than formerly, and
where they do appear greater efforts
are made to eradicate them than
ever before. The fruit crop is be-
yond the period of damage from
climatic conditions, hence it can
quite safely be assumed that sue
cessful fruit season is assured.
Potatoes and vegetation of all kinds
promise very large returns.
The climatic conditions today are
such that for Western Oregon no
rain is probable this week. That
the temperature will increase from
Wednesday, and warm weather pre-
vail the remainder OF the week.
{ Another cool period will most likely
occur from next Sunday.

Norway Making Arrangements to Suppl

----------
Norway Making Arrangements to Supply
London With Mutton.
London will shortly have the advan-
tage of another meat supply-this time
from Norway-which, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfecting ar
rangements for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead, as it can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision Of the
Stavanger Agricultural society, and the
results were SO satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be 70.
peated on larger scale.
1t appears that 80 sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattened
for week or so until they turned the
scale at from 115 pounds to 1873 pounds
They were then shipped to London,
where they realized an average price,
after deductiHg commission, of about
$3.50, and ar the total outlay had only
been about So. 90 per head there was O
net profit of nearly 81 on each animal.
Forty were also sent over with the
skins, hoofs and interior intact, but on
these three was an average loss Of 10
shillings per head, partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing.
Nevertheless the Stavanger society
has come to the conclusion that the
business promises to be remunerative,
and the English people have thus an
additional guarantee Of an adequate
sunnlv of mutton

Indian Agent Brentano, ofGrand
Ronde, says that the Indian citizens
in Yamhill and Polk counties will
cost the respective counties at least
$40, 900 each per year. The In
dians' lands which are allotted to
them in severalty by the govern
ment are not taxable, hence the
only thing the Indian citizens can
be taxed on is their personal prop
erty. They are also liable 10 the
state for poll tax and road work.
The infrm and pauper Indians who
have become citizens will become
county charges. The government
made good bargain when it eou.
ferred the right of citizenship upon
the Indians, but Yamhill and Polk
counties only added lot of ex,
pense, Mr.. Brentano says that the
U. S. Supreme Court holds that the
Indians cannot lawfully be giver
lliquor.-Sheridan Sun.

There can be no excuse for a
small yield of milk and butter in
the Northwest this winter, because
there is the finest hay crop that
there has been for years, the larger
portion of which will be put away
in good condition. There were a
few who cut their hay early that
had it injured by the late rains, but
these cases were not plentiful

We Regret Their Departure

| II. Bearinger, who for nearly two
years has been connected with the
Nester Estate, left Monday afternoon
for Panther, w. Va, where he will be
engaged in the lumber business in con-
nection with his brother, Isaac Bearinger,
of Saginaw, and other parties. An ex-
tensive saw mill is in progress Of cree
tion, which, when completed, will be
capable of handling many million feet a
year.
Mr. Bearinger has been one of'our
leading citizens, and we can Ill afford to
lose man of his business principles. He
has held the position of superintende
OF the hester Estate numbering opera
lions since March, 1898, and has proven
himself an unusually competent man. His
employers regret very much to sever
business relations, and have offered him
fattering inducements to return at any
time. Mrs. Bearinger leaves the fore
part of the week for Tawas, where she
will visit her daughter for few months,
thence she will proceed to- join her hus-
band in the sunny south. Will Bear
niger will not leave the city until they
are permanently settled at Panther, and
until that time will retain bis position
at the store OF j. Ii. Nc Donald.
Mr. and Mrs. Bearinger have the best
wishes OF their host of friends for future
prosperity IN their new abiding place.

OF themselves. Better they elect good
honest men to Office, men who will do
their duty In making out q correct tax

money In improving orr poor old roads,

enough. Mr.. Editor, could, II would,
enumerate many more instances of cor
ruption and extertion In this township,
that has gone unnotced, simply because
the proceedings OF the meetings were
not published. Yes, as you say, 'tax-
payers know too much and are getting
too wise to suit some." Nevertheless,
they want to know moro and will de-
mand the proceedings OF each meeting
to be published. Yours Respectfully,

That Township Board Again.
RARAGA, Jan uary |

BARAGA, Jan uary Is. 1895.
To the Editor OF THE LASsE SENTINEL
DEAR SIR-I am glad to see you ex-
press yourself as YOU did in your last
issue regarding 1.-The Township Board"
Every word you have said voices the
sentiments OF the public In this matter
and 1t is about time to call halt. The
beard should be compelled to publish the
proceedings Of each meeting, for 1t is q
duty they owe the public as their SER
wants. what, are they only public
serYants?' and why should the public,
and especially the taxpayers, be kept In
ignorance OF what is being done? 1t
seems as though the officers composing
this board have forgotten their oath of
ofice and look only to helping their
"tools,' when the opportunity etfers,
even as far as auditing and paying illegal
and outrageous bills for which there
seems to be no labor performed or value
received In any way, such, for instance,
as paying twelve dollars (Sl2) for two
2, at our recent election, where or any
other person would willingly do the
same work for IS and do it in one day.
To make it more easy it Is alleged the
party did not even go out and post the
notices, but sent them by tote team
ster. Then there was the charge OF 5000
for bringing election blanks from L. Anse,
when iu reality Mr.. VIM. Ferguson
brought them to Baraga, after deliver
ing his wagon load eff beer, for which he
received 50. Another So was charged
up for tally sheets and poll books, which
could all have been done by the same
person for the same SO. Why then
should the taxpayers be called upon to
pay bill Of 80 and SIC, which would be
SCI for that which should have cost
only 80? But this is not all. These are
only the prelimnaries to election; we
had election on the sixth dav Of Novem-
Der. The board sat and stayed sitting
for five days, when In two days at
L'Anse the board OF that township did
more work. Each man on this board
got So a day for the five days, when the
law is, as 10 Section 159-page 46, town
ship oficer's guide, $3.50 per day and
at the same rate for part Of day. Is 1t
any wonder that the public Is being
arousedp 1t is high time that a stop was
put to this kind OF work, and grand
Jury called to punish the officers who
have committed such extortions. 1t Is
lust such kind Of work which has
caused judgments to be rendered
agains this township, which. with all
the other Indebtedness Of the township,
puts the finances In very bad shape.
Some OF the officers land others probably

greet was the best man. The bride has
lived In Pequaming nearly all her life,
