THREE MONTHS LONGER

The Sentinel is still without any
news regarding the meeting Of
stockholders Of the T.. & =. Rail
road that was called to meet at
Salt Lake City Cr FtIIu5Iy 3, ard
which meeting was reported to
have beel postponed for n few days
As the parties directly interested
in the property are keeping their
plans strictly to themselves, it is
impossible to gain any information
as to their intentions in the matter.
But as the time for the redemption
Of the property by the stockholders
will expire on May 20 ncXt-only
a little over three months from now
the people of this community
will not be held much longer in
suspense. 1t is positively known
that the United States Mining &
Smelling Company, pur hasers Of
the property at the recent Masters
Sale. will Immediately begin the
rebuilding of the railroad if the
property is not redeemed on May
20.
Next Monday, February q, will
be one year since the last through

Palisade. This train was only
brought through after a big wash
out at Alpha had been repaired.
The day following this food waters
continued to rise and the whole OF

resulted in washing out the railroad.

Long Island sound and is the
forerunner of a gale of wind. She
was a Dutch trading vessel and
was wrecked off Block island in
1852. The wreckers. it is said
made short work of her. stripping
her fore and aft and setting fire
to the hull.
AS she drifted blazing off the
coast a human form was visible amid
the flames, tne form was of a
female passenger left to perish on
the doomed. craft Since and
generally upon the anniversary Of
the wreck Il phantom ship with
blazing hull, charred spars and
scorched sails and rigging has been
cruising off Block island.
Whittier recorded the legend in
graceful verse as well as that of a
ghostly cruiser that sailed from "a
New England port on her last
voyage which he termed The
Dead Ship of Salem" In the
Sc venteenth century a ship was
about to sail from Salem to Eng
land. Her cargo was on board,
sails bent and passengers on deck
when two passengers came
h~urriedly off and engaged passage.
The couple were a young man and
a young woman who. so tradition
records were remarkable for their
bearing and beauty.
Who they were or whence they
came no m in Salem town could
tell. The ship being detained by
adverse winds the mysterious
couple excited the suspicious Of the
town people, who viewed them as
uncanny and prophesied disaster
to the vessel if allowed to sail in
her. But the master. a bluff and
stern sailor. refused to listen and
finally departed on a Friday.
The vessel never reached her
destination and was never spoken
but later in the year incoming
vessels reported sighting a craft
with luminous rigging and sails and
shining hull and spars. She was
sailing with all canvas set against
the wind with a crew of dead men
standing in the shrouds and lean
ing over the rail. while upon the

TALLMANS ELECTION BILL

Following is the title of a bill
introduced by Senator Tallman of
Nye county:
An act to limit expenditures for
campaign and election purposes TO
candidates, their political agents,
and managing committees Of
political parties; to prescribe the
manner of appointment of such
agents; to limit the contributions.
expenditures and liabilities of
candidates, political agents and
managing committees of political
parties; to define prevent and
punish corrupt and illegal practices
in nominations in primary elections
and general elections; to secure and
protect the purity of the ballot; to
prevent and punish The making
publication and circulation of false
charges and statements against
candidates and to provide for
furnishing information to electors.
The bill contains So sections and
is said to be the work of Hon. Key
Pittman, democratic candidate for
United States Senator at the last
election.
The Sparks Tribune in speaking
of this bill says:
The legislators that are now in
session in the capital city seem to
have a remarkably well developed
~penchant to watch out for the morals
of the electors of the State around
election time. Alreadythere have
been several bills introduced aimed
to assist the poor voter in keeping
himself pure and clean at the time
that the candidates for off, e are
trying to corrupt him. The last
one that has seen the light Of day
is a long one by Taliman and covers
about everything in the line Of
purity that could be tho of.
We think that by the time this long
bill from the long senator gets to
the Governor to have his signature
affixed, it will probably lie I'M
recognizable.

Calumet Defeats Houqhton.

The high school basketball team cas-

the Y. NJ. G. A., Saturday afternoon by
the score OF 20 to 10. The local team
appeared on the floor with a changed
lineup owing TO the absence of Curto
at center who was replaced by Frimo-
dig. The first half was slow, both
teams doing considerable fouling. The
second period of play, however, was
very fast and the men put up a fine
exhibition. Frimodig and Chamber
lain were the most effective for the
locals while Mayes put up the best
game for Houghton men. The follow
ing is summary OF the game:
Calumet-Frimodg, six field baskets
and five fouls; Chamberlain, five field
baskets; Botvidson, one field basket.
Houghton-IIayes three field bas-
kets and one foul; Warrington, two

A YOUNG GIRLS HAIR.

Many Mothers are puzzled these days
to decide how to arrange the hair of
the little daughter when she gets be-
You'd the age of "bobbed" hair or curls
tied with a bow.
Simplicity and becomingness must
be achieved, and the tastes of the girl
herself taken into consideration.
For young girl-say from Is to Is
who is too tall to wear her hair
hanging loose, about the prettiest and
most becoming way of arranging it is
to first divide the front and back hair
to make pompadour held in place by
a bow knot of satin ribbon; the back
part then caught just i'm the center and
tied with a piece of tape; the end
again braided and the braid doubled
back and caught into the same piece
of tape with "A ribbon tied over il i'm a
pretty bow.
BY no means the least important
part of the couture is the tying of the
hair ribbon. Nothing makes a young
girl look so untidy as a hair ribbon not
carefully tied or one that is not a good
color for her gown with which IL is
worn.
The method just described or ar
ranging the hair possesses the great
advantage that while it leaves the hair
becomingly loose about the face the
ribbon is at the same time held Sc
curely and will not be constantly fall
ing off, as when it only catches the
hair i'm the center of the back with
nothing to keep 1t in place.
