It seems that the SENTINEL has been given the "blue pencil" by the advertising agents of the big mail order houses in the east. Usually about this time of year, these peo- pie "come across" with a 6-inch single, which they want following and alongside" but the fact that we do not give position, that we charge them double price for their space (and don't solicit their ads, at that), and that we keep up continual protest against patroniz- ing such concerns, has made them sore, and we have been cut of their lists. Well, we made a living long before the mail order idea was con- ceiyed as a means of hoodwinking the people, and will continue to do so. Whenever the policy of this paper comes to be dictated by such people as these mail order concerns, We will get us tin bill and pick with the chickens. And we will buy the said tin bill from a home merchant too.

The caucus for the purpose of choosing nominees to be voted on at the regular annual town election Is to be held on Saturday, March 23, at S:30 P. NJ. It is not only the privilege, but the duty of every voter to attend this caucus and as- sist in choosing the men into whose hands the administration of the towns affairs are to be placed for the ensuing year. The town is but recovering from the effects of the disaster of last year; there are a great many Improvements to be made in the matter of streets; the townsite survey will probably be completed and settled up during the incumbency of the officers cho- sen at this meeting; 1t is likely something will be done toward the installation of a system of water works during the next year; fire apparatus must be bought. These and other important questions ne cessitates the choice of men whose integrity, business ability and loy- alty to the town give them fitness for the trust. Give us a council just as good as the present one, and all will be satisfied.

The very babes of the land lisp this name. They know not why, perhaps, except for its everlasting iteration in the family circle, on the streets, in the stores and marts and resorts, everywhere the mother tongue is employed in the current discussion of the day. Boys and girls speak it wonderingly, some shame-facedly, all with a know ledgabls tone and tenor that is startling; the elders are busy with it unremittingly and use it in . myriad ways of intimacy that be- speaks the largeness of the thing, and none fail to deprecate the dan- ger and shame of it. The stage, the pulpit, the rostrum, the press, rre ringing with it hourly, and for what?
 So far as we can see through its complex horrors, it is merely given in detail to gratify the national craving for the salacious, the hun ger for unusually nasty, the long, ing for morbid refreshment of viti- ated mentality, and the excitement of seeing the daring publicity of such narrations in the prints of the land, and hearing the delicately open allusions in public gatherings, all contributory to the lowering tastes of the nation.
 The murder, itself, its alleged cause, its personnel, it's specific ground work, are common enough in the criminal annals of the coun- try; hardly day passes that does not furnish a parallel, circumscrib- ed only by the unappealing factors that the principals are poor, ob- scure and beyond the purview of the general public.
 The sybaritic elements of the sto- " are, perhaps, a revelation to many, but even they are as an loft told tale" to the denizens of the metropoli of the land. The pub licist of experience and research knows how common they are in all wealthy circles the world over; and their rehearsal is but a concession to the avid putridity of the popular mind. They can serve no other end, gloss the matter how ever we will. Such sn examination as this, such developments as these, such evil history as this, were far better buried in the record and the grave silence of the court that must delye therein, that given broadcast to the untainted, yet impressionable, mind of the American young. It can do them no good, nor their elders, ei- ther; and it can do immeasureable harm, and probably will.

OPPORTUNITIES

VI VII ~suu Thousands of acres of fine tillahle land lie waiting for the homesteader. Mining development is only in it's infancy, and there are un- mistakeable evidences of the existence of large bod ies of minerals in this inn mediate locality.
 Great forests of spruce, hemlock, red and yellow cedar abound on all the adjacent islands and main- land, offering lucrative in- vestment for the lumber man, while there are many fine streams from which to take water power. A good furniture factory will pay.
 The fisheries of Alaska need no introduction, as the quantity and quality of their products already attract attention from the marts of the world.
 Upwards of a hundred trappers make this place their winter headquarters, and many thousands of dollars worth of furs are shipped annually.
 Deer, bear, duck, geese, etc, abound in such num- bers as to make this rection 8 veritable paradise for sportsmen, while caribou, moose, sheep aud goats at- tract hunters from various parts of the globe to the Oassiar hunting grounds up tf1e stikine River, on which the Hudson's Bay Co. operates an elegant fleet of steamers.

ASHFORD.

Harry Sunderland, aged z, son of
to an empty silo at the farm of Rob-
ert Knowlton Thursday afternoon and
struck on his head, receiving injuries
from which death ensued in couple
Of hours. The boy was playing with
his brother, Ralph, aged 8, and he
stepped from hayloft which was just
even with the top of the silo and fell
distance of twenty feet to the &C.
ment bottom. The brother called to
men who were working in the barn
and they carried the unconscious lad
to his home.
Quite little excitement was caused
in the town of Brimfield and vicinity
the past few days during search for
two children, Grace s. and James Ell.
Steinson, aged II and IA years, re-
spectively, who ran away from the
Brimfeld town farm on the approach
of their father, George Steinson, who
had been granted an order by the pro-
bate court for the delivery of the chill
dren to him. When Steinson arrived
at the town farm and showed his
papers, Mr.. Gilbert threw open the
door to him. Not finding the chill
dren there, he brought an action of
contempt of court against Mr.. Gilbert
for keeping the children from him,
against the courts orders. Mr.. Dash
says that when the case came up
Thursday Mr.. Gilbert, becoming con-.
fused upon the stand, declared that he
held the children, when in reality he
did not do so. 1t was therefore neces
sary for the court to impose a very
nominal fine upon him. When the
news of the fining of Mr.. Gilbert
spread throughout the town the people
were timid about giving the children
shelter, for fear they would be laying
themselves open to punishment by the
court. The children left what they
called an impossible home some time
ago, and said that they would rather
die in the woods than 60 back home.
o. G.. Cash of Westfield, agent of the
Hampden County Children's Aid as
ISOLATION. after searching several days
for the children, finally found them
at farm house near the Stafford and
Union town line late Sunday after
noon. After Agent Cash had con-
WINGED the children that he did not
represent their fathers interests they
went willingly with him to Spring
field, where Agent Cash was appointed
their temporary guardian until this
morning, when the probate court will
decide on their guardianship. The
children were thinly clad and were
exhausted from a number Of days. ex-

Alfalfa.

I began to grow alfalfa five years
ago, l have now five acres sown,
from which I have cut four times this
season and at present writing (Sep-
TENDER 20) it islands, eightinches high.
NV mode of sowing is to SOW either
in August or September, which I
think is the best time to SOW, for if
YOU SOW in the fall you get three or
four cuttings the next year. / pillow
my ground very deep and use harrow
and drag until I get the soil in fine
condition, and then sow thirty
mounds to the acre, sowing both
ways. 1 do not cut the first crop, as
T consider that much thrown away.
I have at present five acres just COM
ing on which I sowed last month. I
sowed, on August 10, 1904, two
acres of alfalfa and have cut four
times this year, as follows:
May 81 I cut from the five acres
1880 pounds; June 80. 1890
pounds; August 4, 15,46O pounds;
September IA, 1880, making a total
of 6O,SS0 pounds.
