THE LATE HON. CARLOS ID.
SHELDEN.
Funeral Largely Attended at
Houghton, Sunday Last.

The funeral of. the late Hon. Carlos
d. Sheldon, of Houghton, whose
sudden death was noted in these
columns last week, was held Sunday
afternoon, with services by Rev. j..
E. Curzon, rector of Trinity church,
Houghton, and interment was in
Forest Hill cemetery, where the
remains were laid to rest, with the
Masonic burial services, conducted
by Montrose Commandery. The
funeral cortege was very lengthy.
Many were present from all parts OF
the copper country and the upper
peninsula.
Carlos D. Sheldon was born in
Walworth county, Wis, June 10,
1910, going to Houghton fifty-seyen
years ago, receiving his early edrica-
tion in the schools Of Houghton and
Ypsilanti.
Mr.. Sheldens political career ca
reer began when he was elected
president Of the village of Houghton.
He had served as supervisor OF Port
age township, representative in the
state legislature, and was chosen to
the state senate in 1894, and two
years later was elected to congress
from the Twelfth district. He was
reelected in 1898, and again in 1900,
serving three terms in that capacity.
As congressman, he did much for
the advancement and upbuilding OF
the district he represented.
Mr.. Sheldon was largely inter
ested in copper and iron mines and
also in timber lands in various sec-
tions OF the upper peninsulation and
elsewhere, and had acquired a con-
siderable estate at the time of his
death.
Besides wife, son, and two step.
daughters by former marriage, he
leaves brother, Ransom B. Shell
den, of Riverside, Cal. The son,
r. Skiff Sheldon, is a successful
lawyer of Houghton.

But two contests worthy of note
marked the proceedings. One OF
these was fight in the resolutions

Congressman William Alden Smith,

bsoader declaration in the platform

| ing of the board of supervisors,
October 20, 1908, the present super
intendent OF the poor for this district
was appointed by that board to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal
from the county of J. @ McKernan.
The superintendent of District No.
B, Baraga township, publishes his
report each month, and why the
other two neglect or refuse to do so,
is something we are unable to ex-
plain, and the only advice we can
give Taxpayer, or all other taxpay-
ers, is to ascertain direct from the
said officials or from the county
board of supervisors.
Z Question No. 3.-Regarding the
primary school interest money for
L'Anse township we can give. but
little enlightenment, aside from the
fact that the writer was permitted
to read two letters from the super
intendent of public instruction at
Lansing, stating that the school
census of L'Anse township for the
year 1908 had not been received, and
accordingly the township would not
receive any apportionment of the
money from that source. AS to
whether the census in question was
taken at all, we cannot state. The
secretary of the school board claims
it was, and others claim to the con-
trary. Certain it is that the appor-
tionment due last spring was not
paid, and the one due this fall will
not be paid, according to official
authority from the state superinten-
dent Of public instruction.
In time it will prove how the
"golden egg" was forfeited.

KEPT IN DARKNESS.
Tax Payers Want to Know Why
Proceedings of the School
Board and Reports Of Two
superintendent of the Poor
are Not Published-AlsO why
L'Anse Township is Minus Its
Primary School Money.
To the Editor of THE SENTINEL.

To the Editor of THE SENTINEL.
AS taxpayer in L L'Anse township,
1 would like to have you answer the
following questions, if you know,
and am sure that all taxpayers, as
well as myself, should be permitted
to know where and how the money
raised by tax is spent.
First-Why are the proceedings
of the Board of Education in L'Anse
township not published during the
past year, as has been the custom
heretofore?
Second-Why are the reports of
of the superintendent OF the poor,
for L'Anse township district, and
the district comprising Arvon, Cow
ington and Spur townships, not
published, as has heretofore been the
custom, so that taxpayers may know
to whom and for what purpose
money in that fund is expended!
The superintendents draw pay from
the county for the duties of the Office,
which includes making their reports
monthly. l see the superintendent
of Baraga township publishes his
report each month. Why do the
other two desire to keep their trans
actions in this respect from the
knowledge of the public?
Third--Why was the school census
for the year 1908, in L'Anse town
ship, not taken as required, thereby
causing the township to forfeit its
primary school interest money,
which will amount to hundreds OF
dollars? These are all important
questions which taxpayers have a
right to know, land their rights
should be respected by officials in
Office.
Signed, TAXPAYER,
L'Anse Township.

L'Anse Township.

THE SENTINEL regrets that there
should be any occasion for the above
communication, but as the facts set
forth by Taxpayer actually exist, it
is no more than proper that he, or
all taxpayers, should seek enlighten-
ment regarding the transactions of
public officials in their respective
offices.
In answer to the first question,
The SENTINEL will state that for the
past nine years the school board has
had yearly coRtracts with this paper
to publish all proceedings of their
meetings, and at the first meeting Of
the board, following the election,
July Ia, 1903, at which meeting the
present secretary of the board was
appointed by that body, a like con-
tract was made. The proceedings
OF that meeting, and also of meet
ing held August 8, 1903, were duly
published, but no further proceed
ings were handed in for publication.
In the issue of THE SENTINEL of
June 4, 1904, the following notice
was published:

but we are ready to publish the pro-
ceedings as soon as furnished. For
further information apply to secre-
tary. of the school board.
Question No. 2.-For many years,
superintendents OF the poor in this
county have published an itemized
report each month of all monies paid
out by them, the copy of their
reports then being filed with the
county clerk. The last report pub
lished by the superintendent Of Dis.
trict No. 2, comprising the town

Rotate Your Crops.

The spring has come and the farmers
are getting out their plows and prepar-
ing to put in their crops. In this con-
nection it is we'll to call attention to the
fact that it is not good to continue plant.
ing the same thing on the same ground
from year to year without change. The
soil gets worn out with that kind of
treatment and in order to obtain the
best results it is necessary to rotate the
crop. Heretofore oats has been the
favorite product, and We know of GER
tain Of our farmers who have raised
oats and nothing but oats for twenty
years on the same ground.
We would suggest hat it is time to
make change and put in something
else. Those who put in barley last year
done well and the yield was prolific and
profitable. This section is well adapted
to the raising of wheat, but as we have
no mills to grind ii into -four large
quantity Of wheat is not required and is
not marketable We do not understand
why this is not good point for -four
mill, and we know of no good reason
why Custer should not be an excellent
place for some enterprising party who
understands the business to erect flour
mill. Of course it is out of the question
to try to raise corn at this altitude as the
season is not long enough to allow it to
become fully ripe. All of the grasses
however do well and barley, rye and
millet yield and excellent crop.

The Arlington Sun has the following
facetious remarks to make about Mitch
ell being in the center of the state. Nit.
chell is in the exact center of the state
1t is just sixty miles north from the Ne
braska line, and a hundred and fifty
miles on to the north line of the state,
but she is in the center nevertheless
She is eighty miles from the eastern bor-
der, and the state goes OH three hundred
miles further west, but Mitchell is in the
center. She has drawn hundred mile
circle around her, and decreed that all
the population, all the wealth, and every
other good thing that may be considered,
shall be declared to be encompassed
within that area. All without are In
dams, cowboys, fraudulent settlers and
other barbarians. Mitchell is not long
on anything but accessibility, but she
has dead loads of that. Indeed she has
a large surplus of the articles which she
is willing in the goodness of her heart to
trade for the state capitol, the homes OF
the state officers and such other advan-
tages as may come in the deal And the
beauty of it is she has got a corner on
the accessibility market without letting
more than one or two countries in the
state even suspect that she was handling
the article at all "
