Do Your Shopping Early.

There remain thirty-six days in which
TO do your shopping for Christmas. 1t
is for shoppers to decide whether they
will spread this duty over this period
or crowd it into the week or less before
that Holiday. There are two classes
of people who we are nearly sure will
not have as merry Christmas as they
ought to have. They are the late
shopper and the people who wait on the
late shopper. Were you down town last
Christmas week? Do you remember
how the crowd surged in and out the
stores, and do you recall what was GO
ing on inside. Tired little bodies of
salesgirls, with tired minds to keep urg-
ing these tired bodies on the Jump;
they must hustle to do this and they
will be scolded for that. And the over
worked clerks and the horses driving
the wagons that will back up to your
home on Christmas eve. Do you want
them to suffer? Do you want them to
have happy Christmas, too? Wouldn't
you do your shopping earlier this year
to make somebody else perhaps some
one you don't even know happy?
Women, the shrewdest shoppers, like to
look over what they buy before they
buy it. Now is your chance. 1t is a
splendid time to get your Christmas
presents. Yon get the first pick; you
get the largest stock to pick from, and
when Christmas comes you can have all
your presents hidden away. Yon will
not have overworkcd even one sales
girl, one disappointed deliveryman or
one tired horse. It's only thirty-six
shopping days before Christmas. Lest
We forget: Do Your Christmas Shop
ping Early!

Shell Pierces
Skanee Girl.
Miss Edna ArsenauIt Probably Fatally
Injured by Accidental Shot.

From Skanee comes the story of an
accident, in which Miss Edna Arsenault
was probably fatally shot by Norbert
Decormier. NorbertDecormie of Skanee
was experimenting with rifle belong
ing to Charles Netto of Skanee. The
latter, it is said. had informed Decor
mier that the gun was not loaded, and
Decormier was trying the action of the
piece. Several young people, including
Miss Arsenault were standing around
him when the weapon was discharged,
one cartridge evidently having remain
ed in the chamber which the owner be-
lieved to be empty.
The steel ball passed entirely through
Miss Arsenaut's body a few inches
above the pelvis, penetrating, it is be-
ieved, some of the vital organs, and
buried itself in a log several feet back
of the young women.
Decormier Immediately secured a
rig and drove to Baraga and the follow
ing day DR.. Buckland, of that place,
went out and dressed the wound. The
wounded girl had suffered from o. clock
Sunday afternoon until after IL Monday
without receiving any medical at.
tention, and upon probing,a good-sized
piece of her wearing apparel was ex-
tracted from the cavity made by the
bullet. Miss Arsenault's condition is
regarded as serious, and her recovery
is believed to be doubtful. Miss Isa-
belle Steinbach, trained nurse of this
village, is in attendance upon the girl.
The injured girl is daughter of
Samuel Arsenault, a well known Hough-
ton fisherman, who moved from that
village with his family two months ago.
She was well known in Houghton, where
she attended school up to the close of
last term.

Deer Season
Opened "Wednesday.
Many Passed Through L'Anse on Their
Way to Hunting Grounds.

The didn't know-it-was loaded and
accident season is here and L'Anse has
witnessed the coming in and going out
of large crowds of hunters from all
parts of Michigan.
According to the enthusiasm shown
by the hunters, we will be safe in say
ing that there will not be many deer
left to tell the tale, but the lack of
snow, mingled with the lack of accur-
acy on the part of the offense, promises
us that we will be able to hunt the
tinid deer for another year. Old people
have been seen passing through our
streets to the grounds on the run, but
at this rate they didn't have much en-
ergy left by the time they got to Skanee.
Up-to-date, the scribe has had the
pleasure of viewing no deer and it is
said that many more are coming. No
accidents of note have happened yet
but iu will be miracle if some one is
not shot, judging by the number who
are infesting the woods. County Clerk
Voetsch, to date, has issued 225 resident
licenses and nonresident licenses.
1t is predicted that the issuance of
licenses in other yeats will far surpass
the number issued this year.

TIMBER DECAY COSTS MILLIONS.

Millions of feet of timber and finished
rot every year in railroad ties,
bridges. trestles, piles, farm buildings,
fences, poles, and mine props. The
consuming public of the United
states pays perhaps thirty to forty
million dollars year to make good the
oss from lumber decay.
These great drains are source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to do
with the uses of wood are working un-
ceasingly on the problem. The U. S..
Forest Service has men who devote
their whole time toit. The Importance
of the problem cannot be overestimated.
Millions of dollars are annually saved
by preservative treatment of timbers,
but much yet remains to be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the mic
roscope. It's roots or branches. like
minute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. The collapse which re-
sults.is called decay. Timber is artificially
preserved by forcing into its cells and
pores certain substances which prevent
the growth of fungi. AS long as this
substance is present in sufficient guam
tity, the germs of decay the threads
and spores of fungus cannot enter, and
the wood is preserved. This often means
doubling and sometimes trebling the
life of the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the Investigations Of the preserv-
ative treatment of timber of such i'm
portsnce that the business of one office
of the United States Forest Service.
that of Wood Preservation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is given
over entirely to the work of experiments
in cooperation with railroad companies
and other corporations and individuals in
prolonging the life of railroad ties, mine
props, bridge timbers, fence posts ano
transmission poles.
The lengthening of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of dol.
lars annually through the doing away
with the heavy expense of labor anc
cost of material for renewals.

sharpshooters Pepper Deer.

From Boivin's camps, the headquar-
ters of the L'Anse hunters, comes the
information that number of our pop
ular citizens and sure-shot deer hunters
have been having the pleasure of bang
ing away at deer.
From what we are told, Harris Smith
was the first victim of buck ague, when
upon coming out on the road he viewed
fine specimen of the forest. Harris
ups with his gun and pumped about six
shells into the deer's carcass before
tumbling to the mistake he had made in
banging away at stuffed animal.
Keeping his discontinue to himself, he
brought out Octave Sicotte and by the
time Octave had finished testing his
Workmanship, Mr.. Deer presented a
somewhat dilapidated appearance.
These are but two of the victims of
the fever and before the party returns
we feel safe in saying that there will be
more sufferers.

Maccabees Entertained Monday.

The card party and social hop given
at the Town Hall last Monday night by
the Lady Maccabees was well attended.
Those who were present expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
evening s en- joyment.
A pedro party occupied the fore part
of the evening, while the latter hours
were given up to dancing, music being
furnished by Miss Bertha Crebassa, of
Baraga, assisted by Mrs. J. B. Smith.

Maccabees Postpone Dance.

The members of the Meadow Brook
Hive, l.. o. T. M. NJ, have decided to
give up the dance which was scheduled
to take place New Years eve, under
their auspices and therefore the hall will

to act in the capacity of entertainers.

will be hop given on the above even
ing under the direction of some other
fraternal lodge of our bustling village.

New Road Assured.

Now that both L'Anse and Arvon
townships have deposited the sum of
one thousand dollars each with the
county treasurer, work has commenced
in earnest on the L'Anse and Skanee
shore road and it is an assured fact
that new route will be had from
Skanee to L'Anse during the winter.
The object of this road is to do away
with all the long tiresome hills that are
now nuisance on the old road. There
is some talk Of abandoning the old rosd,
though we would not be authority for
this statement. It seems that itshould
be kept up for the summer at least,
for it will be good long time before
the new road can come up to the re-
quirements Of the present route.

With this issue The SENTINEL closes
it's twenty-ninth year and soon enters
the county for another and it is
with degree of considerable satisfac-
tion upon the parts Of our owners and
operators that we are at this particular
time making our bow to the patrons Of
this institution.
Throughout our past years, we have
endeavored to devote our energies to
the doings of Baraga County and feel
at this time that by 80 doing we have
placed our sheet upon basis whereby
it has found place in the esteem of
all into whose hands it falls.
During the past year we have enjoyed
splendid patronage in all departments
of the institution and we at this time,
take great enjoyment in thanking our
patrons for their liberal patronage and
hearty cooperation, and assure them
that it will be our aim in the future to
do as we have done in the past the best
we can.
Ever since the establishment of The
SENTINEL, in 1879, coming to L'Anse
from Michigamme in 1880, it has stood
for the best there is is in everyone, its
conduct not being influenced byprejudice
or malice. If it entertained any such
feeling toward any individual, not word
or sign of it appeared in the columns of
this paper. We have never gone be-
yond our rightful bounds, preferring to
err on the side of mercy rather than in
advertently doing an injnstice to any
man.
Under different ownership from Syl-
vester Kinney, the founder, who sold to
John Campbell in November, 1894, to
Geo. c. Jackman, to the present owner
ership, the Baraga County Publishing
Company, THE SENTINEL has always
been for improvements and better
county and in our future we still hope
to maintain our standard and give you
a paper even better than our past num-
bers.
Therefore, with good prospects, we
enterupon what we hope to be another
year of prosperity.
