Jackson. Jan. 6.-In spite of the
bridges constructed in recent years
which prevent free navigation, an
effort is being made to carry steam
boat traffic ON Pearl river, and during
the present week the steamboat Capt.
tola will arrive at Jackson landing
with a cargo of cotton seed for the oil
mills. A New Orleans company is
also putting in line of boats on the
lower river. and they will probably
commence making trips as far nerth-
ward as Jackson during the present
month.

ADVERTISING.

When advertising is discontinued
during certain seasons in the year the
reason usually given is that business
is so dull that it doesn' t pay.
When business is dull is just the
time to advertise, for the primary OBJ
iect of advertising is to increase
trade.
1t is a mistake to give the public
an oppor rtunity to forget you.
When an advertiser has succeeded
in making his name generally and
favorably known he may be said to be
safely launched.
Iniudicious advertising proves au
expensive experiment. and it is advis
ible for beginners to be cautious; to
study the methods of men who have
created successes, and as much as is
consistent with particular business,
model the advertising on the same
general lines. however. never to the
extent of losing individuality.
1t is safe to follow the lead of such
men. for they have learned by expert
ence. IIldI DeTslslbutN Is bn6 uODluhut
note of their publicity. They are
continually striving to occupy the
center of the stage. putting forth
every effort to attain this position.
Let an advertiser rest on his laurels
for ever so short time in this age of
keen competition. and some one steps
ahead of him. and lie has this lost
round to regain--if he can.
People naturally reason that if an
article is advertised continuously it
must possess distinct merits. else how
could the advertiser afford such per-
sistent campaign and. because of this
reasoning, will buv when they might
hesitate with an entirely new firm.
After the beginner has made little
headway it is suicidal to cease adver-
tising public will completely
forget him in very short time.
We are very apt to be accepted at
our own valuations. and given an op-
portunity to make good. but the pub
lie has Tickle memory and needs con-
slant reminder of our exi stence.

JAPANESE POLICE AND RATS.
How a Political Leader Understood
the Reading of the Law.


The following account exemplifes
the thorough manner in which Japan
ese officials carry out their orders.
The Drogisten Zeitung says that last
month the police of Kobe distributed
to every house in town a package of
arsenic, with directions for the use OF
the poison printed on each package,
which latter was to be used in the
destruction of rats, in accordance with
the plan of the department of health
in fighting the plague. A very promi-
nent citizen of Kobe, and political
leader of some note. on the day after
the distribution was made, called at
the office of the Kobe Chronicle and
lodged a complaint to the effect that
he had been grossly insulted by the
police. According to his account, a
police officer on the foregoing day
had walked into his dwelling and
without word handed him a package
marked arsenic" What is that?"
asked he. That's for you" answered
the officer. For me?" inquired the
astonished citizen, in whose mind, no
doubt, visions of hint to betake him
self to the unknown short, after the
gold old" Japanese fashion, were
floating. "Yes-for-you." repeated
the policeman. pausing after each
word to emphasize it. The order has
gone forth that all vermit shall die"
This was all that the astonished edi-
tor could get out of the wrathy politi-
clan. says the National Druggist. and
the latter went away still raging
against the insult the police had put
upon him"

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

1t is debatable whether there is anv
weight to the expression II told you
so." used in the sense of exultation
over some previous prediction. The
Sentinel cannot refrain from using it.
however. in calling attention to the
condition of the system of sewerage,
which was built in this city with
disregard for the specifications and
under the patronage of members of the
council who accepted positions under
the contractor. for the sole purpose
on the part of the contractor, of hav
ing his bills audited and paid without
friction.
The sewerage system of Grand Jnnc-
tion is in bad condition. 1t was
constructed in bad condition. 1t

regard to its permaneDcy. Somebody
was to blame. incompetence is
spelled all through its construction

than enough to have constructed it
with semblance of compliance to the
contract 1t was shere robbery of the
peoples money to have had such work
performed 1t would not have been
done in the manner it was. had the
council demaded that II IL OF its mem.
bers be employed by the contractors,
while attempting to serve the city.
At the time the work was being
performed, this paper objected to the
contractors employing members of the
council on the work. 1t was against
the law to do so and the law was
quoted at the time. But those mem
bers had to be paid for keeping quiet
and now the people will pay in ex-
pensive repairs to pipes in which trees
and roots are finding lodgment.
This because the work was permitted
to be done. without any purpose of
holding the contractors to account for
robbing the people by sighting their
work.
This is pretty plain talk. but it is
the truth and The Sentinel is ready
to stand back of every word said bv

Toe Much Prosperity.
Farmers Along the 500 Line Find it
Difficult to Obtain Help.

The reports received by the 500 Line
from a number of different points in
North Dakota show an unprecedented
state of affairs with regard to labor.
The farmers around Enderlin, Hank
inson, Lanona. Matador. Velva and
number of other towns in North Da-
kota say it is impossible for them to
secure men to work on the various
farms They are offering $25 per
month for farm labor and will give
contract for eight months. Even at
this figure it is impossible for them to
secure anybody.
A number of them have sent in re-
quests to w. r. Galloway, general pas
senger agent of the 500 Line, asking
him to help them out of the situation
in any way possible; they have asked
! that labor rates be inaugurated into
| these sections which would make 1t an
inducement to laborers to go out into
that country and secure employment.
Mr.. Galloway does not think that
question of rates would make very
much Indifference, as at the present
time any laborers can take advantage
of the settlers weekly rate OF Sc to
