It beats the Old Scratch that, try hard as he would to keep it quiet, little ex- perience of Capt. Orr, while he was be- low, leaked out on him. Capt. gave it confidentially to friend in this manner "An old duffer and I started out for a pleasure sail in buggy and hadn't gone far when squall struck us, our gol-darn- ed craft went on beams end and there we were completely ship wrecked right there in the middle of the dusty road. l rose to my feet and looked up the course and there came what l took to be squarerigged cutter, with all sails set, bearing rapidly down upon us, and be- fore knew it that gol-blasted thing struck me fair amidship, where 1 had my provisions stored, and my craft keel ed over. As soon as l could get any wind in my sails, righted my hull and asked the old pilot who had brought me out, what had happened. Why nOth- in, only girl on bicycle run over ye, ; said he. Well sir, that was too much for me, and abuse my top-lights if didn't take an oath right there before that old sinner that l was going right back to Alaska where they don't have all these new-fangled straddle- bugs to endanger mems lives. 1 like to hear the howl of the wolf, the growl of the bear, the snarl of the panther and cata- mount, and the roaring of the seas; but darn those machines that'll ring back up bell and then go head with a speed that would cut a steel cruiser in two, if it struck her. And here am; but don't give me away, for I'd rather be drowned in Etolin Bay than have people know was run over by gol-darned bicycle"
 Jake Johnson Indian) had Jim Glea- son and Jack Lavin arrested the other day on a charge of stealing log, and jury readildy said the men were not gull. ty. The log in question that will cost Uncle Sam S40 to $50 was worth per haps six bits or dollar. If some of the fellows who are so ready to rush into court on every little provocation were compelled to stand the cost of suits, there would be less of this damphoolish- ness and less expense to the government.
 "Must be seen to be appreciated !" is the verdict of our people who have been attending the plays by the Hewitt Car niyal Company, at Red Mems Hall, this week. As an actor and magician Mir. Hewitt certainly stands at the head of his profession, and when he brings to his aid such talented people as he car ries with him none who attend will be disappointed with the entertainments. Hewitt is on his way to the interior, and should do well wherever he goes.
 It seemed as if Chief Tom of Kaake, was very much of a disturber of the peace and quiet of that section. When the boy was recently shot, Tom took the law in his own hands and demanded of Nastuck and his friends 175 pairs of blankets. Part of these were furnished, Then the matter was reported to the au- thorities, and deputy marshal Grant went out and brought in the self consti- tuted monarch, and he was given eight months at Juneau for his action in this high-handed robbery.
 Nastuck, the Indian who shot the boy at Rake, and then escaped in small boat from sloop while being brought in, had hearing last week for taking the boat, and was given forty days.

The Wrangell Electric Light ana Power Go. have effected an organiza- tion. E. H Lyons has been elect ed Manager, L. J. Cole, Treasurer and Lauros Milligan, Secretary. The necessary legal steps have been taken to incorporate and the incor- poration will be perfected at an early date.
 The Company will incorporate for $5,O0O, and this is to be divid- ed into 200 shares of $25 each. Over one-half of the stock has al ready been subscribed, and the re- mainder is offered for sale. The terms of subscription are one-fourth in cash at the time of subscribing, and the remainder in three month ly installments. The cost of oper- ating the plant will be reduced to a minimum. Until the demands of the business make it absolutely necessary for more help, one man has agreed to do all the engineer ing and electrical work. The plant is located where fuel may be had at the lowest possible figure, and everything points to a good divi- dend from the beginning. The Company is only allowed to run in debt to half the value of the plant. Watering stock is prohibited by it's franchise, and there is no reason why this stock should not be a gilt edged investment from the first. Your subscriptions for stock may be handed to any of the officers named above.

At last the Girard Point cannery has been sold and the sale confirmed. The Pillar Bay Packing Company are the owners and Mir. McHugh has been on the ground, looking over the plant dur ing the past week. This company made bid for this property some weeks ago, but the court refused to ratify the sale; ; then Mir. J. T. Barin made a bid for them and the sale was confirmed. This is good property. Mir. Barin built the cannery in 1901 and after successfully operating it one season, sold it to the F. P & N. combine for good figure. The new purchasers are at present undecid- ed as to whether they will operate the cannery the coming season; but it is hoped they may see fit to do so.

A move has at last been made in the right direction by the merchants of this place. It has been the custom of the merchants of the town to remain upen for business during week days until from 9 D. m. to midnight and all day Sunday. This made slaves life oi proprietors.and clerks, alike, giving them no time for rest or recreation. Last wk move was made to remedy this. Meet ings were held and all merchants and clerks of the town (except Mr. Carlyon who is absent from town) favored clos. ing Sundays, at s p. m: week days and at 12 NJ. holidays. This is as it should be. Those engaged in mercantile ,pur- suits are entitled to breathing spells as well as other individuals, and people can just as we'll favor them in this direction by doing their trading within the hours named as to force them to unreasonably long hours and Sundays.
 From appearances Robert Ball, the slayer of Wm Deppe, does not want to be admitted to bail as badly as he tho't he did. Just before the adjournment of district court, Balls attorney applied for a rehearing before l commissioner on the point of being admitted to bail, and this motion was granted by Judge Gun nison. Then they wanted to select their own commissioner for hearing, but the Judge held that commissioner Thomas was the only one of the committing magistrates who knew anything about the evidence in the case, and the rehear- ing must be before him. That seemed to put quietus on the whole affair, for ntada thnunh tho the commissioner was on hand several times to hear the argument. Later Judge Thomas went up on the Ramona to hear the argument.
 Howkan is little native village of 200 souls, situated near the extreme south- ern end of Prince of Wales Island. A SENTINEL reporter was down there last week, and on his return made the edi- tor hungry for music by telling of the excellent brass band they have at the little town. The band is composed oi 22 performers, who have been together about two years, most of the time under the directorship of Job Nelson, and are now under the leadership of Thadius Isaacs, and the reporter says they han dle the highest grade music with amaz- ing proficiency. Howkan is proud oi her band, and she ought to be.
 Mir. J. II. Wheeler arrived home on the Ramona, Saturday morning, after spending several weeks below on busi- ness. It will be remembered that Mir Wheeler and Miss Thomas were married in Portland, Christmas day. This was in the minds of about forty "boys" oi all ages and sizes, and tin cans, trian. gles and other "musical instruments were brought out Saturday evening for "serenade " After a fchoice selec. ton" or two Mir. Wheeler responded with treats, and all went away seeming. ly contented.
 The second annual ball by Alert Fire Go. No. 1, came off Tuesday evening, and was great success, socially. Every. thing was free, as the laddies gave it for socia bility, only, The supper furnished by the ladies of the town was of the best and was enjoyed by all. The music was good; in fact it was complete success throughout.

The resignation of J. 4. Hellenthal as receiver of the Reid-Sylvester estate was accepted by Judge Gunnison on Monday last and Chas. Davidson appointed to the position. His bond was fixed at $50, 1000. This appointment is only for such time as the conrt may take to de- termine the case just tried as to whether there is any necessity for df receiver er n in yidson seems to be entirely satisfactory to all parties in the case. He is q man in whom the business men of Juneau have the most implicit confidence, as is evidenced by their readiness to go on his bond for five times the amount oi the Hellenthal bond Transcript.

Texas Fever-A Short Statement of
 its Ccmmonest Symptoms

In view of the proposed importations of cattle into this Valley during the next few months, it will be we'll to be on the lookout for Texas fever. An effort is being made te have Live Stock Inspector appointed for this part of the country, but as this matter has been before the Supervisors for nearly a year and the appointment has not been made yet, it behooves our people to do the best they can to protect themselves.
 To this end it were we'll for them to familiarize themselves with the symp- toms of Texas fever so as to be able to detect it on it's first appearance and then keep sharp watch for this dread disease. For the purpose of putting before our readers the symptoms of this plague i'll concise form, we here- with append short statement of the commonest phases of'this disease from the pen of Dr. J. c. .Blackinton:

several people wanting to put in new plants. We believe that it would be better if they would arrange to furnish the farmers money to buy alfalfa seed and help them buy dairy cows. We need to help the farmers get into the dairy business first Then the cream cries can go where they are most con- venient and the farmers will trade where their money will buy the most. Silsbee should have a creamery, but we need lot of dairy cattle first.
 In common with all the rest of the Valley, Silsbee was visited last Friday by slight sprinkle of rain. But our neighborhood was the only one in which lightning struck or done any damage During the storm 8 bolt struck the house belonging to J. F. Sears, just south of Elder No. 13, and near J. R. Havens' house. A number of shingles were knocked off the roof, the boards ir the wall were shivered some and glass window broken. Fortunately the house was vacant at the time, Mir Sears and family not having returned from theil

summer outing yet.

One day this week the little two year old child of MT. J. A. Kramer, who lives near Dr. Fuller's place, miles north of Silsbee, got poisoned by chewing an empty shot gun shell that had been charged with smokeless powder. It took suddenly sick with symptoms much like arsenic poisoning. There was vom- iting, twitching of the muscles and cold extremities, followed by comatose con- ditiOn. The parents gave the child sweet milk and ground mustard aLd made it walk and keep awake. The treatment was heroic, but it was effect i've. The youngster threw up the poison and rallied from it's effects and in a few days was apparently as we'll as could be.

SIISBEE
Whats Doing Over at the Pleasure
 Resort on the Shore of Blue Lake

Mrs. Van Arman has moved into her new cottage in .Silsbee.
 Mrs. 0rrick has returned to Silsbee to live and spent part of last week visiting among her neighbors and friends.
 Mir. Sheldon came in from Fl Caion Saturday, bringing little Ivy Rumsey SO she could be here at the beginning of school. Mrs. Rumsey will return to Silsbee iu a short time.
 School will open Monday, October End, with Miss Gray as teacher. The new school house will be occupied and SiIs- bee will be up with the procession so far as school facilities are concerned.
 The dance given by Mir. Rumsey at the hall last Friday night was we'll at- tended and very much enjoyed by those who participated. The hall is a very nice room, with a good dancing floor. The music was furnished by MT. Rum sey with a zenophone.
 Quite a number of Colorado River sal mon have been caught lately in the lake and overflow. If the water recedes they will be easier to catch, as they be- come hungry and more numerous in the water. During cool weather they are very nice fish for eating.
 George House came down from Im- perial this week to see h1w his ranch fared during the overflow. He found much of it still under water and great gullies washed in it. Both stacks of his hay is routed and total loss and his house is badly damaged. Mir. Houses loss from the floods is severe one and one that he can poorly with stand.
 The water in Blue Lake has begun to fall again and it is going away on the land south of Elder Canal, but most of the land there is still covered with wat CT. The long continued floods have been a serious drawback to many peo- pie, as it has kept them off their places for several months Some of the home steaders Ire applying to the government for leave of absence on account of the overflow, as they cannot get to tn, ir places and can only ride over them in boat.
 We hear of quite an excitement in Imperial over the creamery business.

attack and circumstances-most com- monly 107 F.
 "In acute form, fever may be detected by feeling the animal inside the front legs, close to the body or any place where the skin is thin and hair short. The heart quiekens till it makes 100 to 120 pulsations minute. Normally the heart pulsates 80 to 70 per minute. Respiration ranges from 70 to 120 per minute, normally it ranges from 25 to 30 per minute. Vision somewhat inn. paired and eyes abnormally bright. As disease advances animal staggers in walking; nose and lips pale, hot and dry; the animal refuses to eat, ceases to chew and is constipated; feces often hard balls often coated with bloody mucus.
 In this disease the color of the urine is the most important diagnostics symptom. This varies from deep yell low to dark red, according to different stages of the disease. This discolora- tion is caused by the coloring matter of the blood being disintegrsted by mycro-parasite and through the kidneys passes into the urine.
 This mycro-parasite is introduced into the animal by species of tick; here it multiplies with great rapidity and thus causes the disease. This tick has been found on cattle in all southern states.
 The female has an oblong oval body like castor-oil bean; of dull leaden color due to blood red contents of the body showing through the cuticle. It rarely exceeds half inch in length and One-quarter inch wide, has four pairs of legs on the anterior lateral part of body, attached to the animal by mouth organs called rostrum, contain ing barbed dart in center, enabling it to stick tightly.
 Male, one-fftieth size female, dark drown color, triangular shape, stronger, never engOrged and more active than the female. It is found attached to the animal immediately under the anterior portion of female. As the female be- comes engorged and mature she drops to the ground and lays as many as 2,OO0 eggs in some secluded spot. The period of incubation is about month. At first the young ticks are of light brown color, and have but six legs, but gradually grows darker.
 At this stage they are very active and tenacious of life: they may be kept alive six months cOrked up in a bottle without moisture or air. No further development takes place till they find host, when they quickly become the perfect male and female, As they prefer to live on the thin skin they are most numerous on the neck and under the belly.
