In snother column will be found
communication from County School
Superintendent Watts, which should
be carefully road and considered bv
every friend of the public school in
the county, and especially by teachers
snd members of school boards. It is
true the request may result in a little
trouble to some if complied with, but
it is also true that by the means sug-
tasted tn the communication, a crea
deal of good may result and our schools
be brought to the attention of Strang?-
' era in way that could not otherwise
be accomplished. We trust that teach
er and others generally will take up
the matter and .respond liberally to
the request of the superintendent.
THBRK la no more important under
taking for the United States than the
completion of the Nicaragua canal
which will join the Atlantic with the
racine, ana bring the dinerent por
tion of our country in closer commer
oial unity. The Panama canal, which
wa a French 'project, haa utterly
tailed, and will never be oompleted,
This leave the way open for the
country to complete the great water
way that ha been projected for some
year across Nicaragua, and the eov
ernment should push this to comple
tion a quickly as possible. The Sues
canal revolutionized the trade of Eu
rope, and the Nicaragua - canal will do
the same for the . business . of this
country. It will furnish cheap trans
portation for this coast to the East
and Europe, and will shorten the dis
tance several thousand miles. The
expenditure in its construction will be
more than reimbursed by the increase
of trade, snd the facility by which
goods are placed in the markets of the
worm.
The question haa been discussed in
this county of late as to whether or
not the declaration by a justice of the
peace upon the death of a body is suf
ficient evidence that it is dead. If we
are capable of construing the law on
this point, it is necessary that a phy
sician hiake out and return with the
justice's paper, a certificate' of death
- It may be proper and all right because
it is customary, but such is not in ac
cordance with law in regard to inquest
conducted by s justice of the peace.
imsmoaeot doing such work may
continue for many years unquestioned,
but what if the relatives of some one
, who had died snd been declared dead,
by a justice were to sue such justice
for burying slive a relative, the justice
wight experience some difficulty in
e proving that the body was dead, if he
bad not noted the law carefully in this
respect, and had a physician' certifi
cate that the body waa dead.- There
might be a little expense attached to
doing the work in accordance with
law, but all concerned would have the
sstiafaction of knowing that the pro
cedure bad been legally conducted
and that there could never be a ques
tion raised in regard to its legality.
mileage. Deducting the mileage from
the total amount received by t-ar-h we
find that Mr. Fraket received $101.90
and Mr Schoonover 1223.88, or con
siderubly more than double that of the
former. Where, echo answer where,

TBS GRAND JURY SYSTEM.
The uselosanees of the grand jury
was never more clearly demonstrated
than in the case of the United Slate
against Mit Berger, in which Judge
Bellinger directed the trial jury to re
turn a, verdict of not guilty, say The
Dalles Chronicle. Seven indictments
returned and not evidence sufficient
to be submitted to the jury I The ex
pense of this farce to the United State
was undoubtedly large.
The grand jury in the state court
is many limes worse than a useless ex
pense. If the salary of prosecuting
attorneys was made large enough so
that ottorneys of experience and abil
ity would, in all cases, accept the of
fice, and give that officer power to
bring criminals to trial by a present
ment, and the trial judge power to re
move inefficient prosecuting attorney
and appoint suitable ones in their
stead, the lawa would generally be
much more satiflaclurily enforced and
a very considerables share of th ex
panse of the court wiped out. Now
witnesses in all criminal cases pend
ing at the beginning of the term are.
in most judicial districts, subpoenaed
to appear on the first day of the term.
and are usually kept in attendance
until after the trial. This often keep
witnesses in attendance two or three
weeks.
If, while the preliminary examina
tion, now made by the grand jury
were left to the prosecuting attorney.
it would be better done, and the case
set for a certain day, witnesses sub
poenaed to appear on that day, and
thousand of dollar saved at each
term of court. But we suppose that
we shall have to continue under the
present syatem until we dare call
constitutional convention.
Thbrk waa to have been a meeting
held at Mist yesterday at which lime
the people of Clatskanie wre to meet
the residents of V ernooia and Pittsburg
in a general discussion and formula
Hon of plans as to the most practica
ble manner in which to proceed with
construction of the proposed railroad
from Clatskanie into thu Nehalera val
ley. We have been informed that the
interested persons nt Clais kanie made
proposition to the people of the val
ley, asking tbeiri to stand with the
Clatskanie people and assist the engi
neer, woo offered his service tor So
per day while making a preliminary
survey of the route. If the people of
the Nehalem valley can possibly see
their way clear io obligating them
selves to assist in this matter it will
prove a good thing for them and the
entire country. We are not familiar
with the proposition, and therefore un
able to offer s suggestion in regard to
it, but if there can be any possible
mean provided by which a railroad
could be built to that valW from the
city of Clatskanie or any other pl ice.
we are with you, for it would be the
salvation of our entire countv. Not
until some mesh of that kind are af
forded will there be any material de-
elopment in the interior of our coun
ty, and since it ha become about ap
parent that we mast look to our own
resources for prosperity, it stands us
well in hand to sift every chance and
grasp the most practicable one. We
need more people, more money, more
prosperity, and one way of acquiring
remedy for these wants la to inaug
urate a plan for more development
We need more production and less
dependence upon outsiders to supply
us with what we consume. .There is
one thing certain, that if we hav more
development we will have more peo
ple, and when we get more people
there will be more production, more
money and more advancement.

State Superintendent Irwin hat sent the
he did make the statement he unques
tionably displayed good judgment re
garding the question before the Amer
ican public. .Regarding the candidate,
MCKiniey, tteed, iiincoln, Allison or
Harrison wonld carry the full vote of
the party on a sound platform, and it
make little difference who receive
the nomination. Of course Gov. Mc
Kinley has been the pronounced apos
tle of protection for years, but all prom
inent republicans have been in the
same line. Mr. Reed, of Maine, is i
very brainy man, and, while thorough
ly sound on the particular teachings
of the organization, is not a resident
of the portion of the United States
' from which the people think the pres
ident should come. It ia hard to le
termine who the national convention
win piace in nomination, but it re
quire no prophetic eyesight to state
that if he is in the least an available
candidate he will occupy the White
House from and after March 4tb, 1897.
The republican have almost what
may be determined a "walk over" in
1896, and, without some serious blun
der is mado, the demand for a change
in the administration will be as pro
nounced as it was in low.
The county commissioner from Ne
halem, Mr. Schoonover, believes in re
trenchment only so long a it applies
o some one else. At tne recent term
of county court when leform measures
'were under discussion Commissioner
Frakes proposed that the court itself
first begin the reform by cutting down
i their own aalarie 40 percent. But
the populist commissioner from the
classic bank of Nehalem busied him
self all of a sudden just at that mo
went taking down notes for the Sen
tinel which, by the way, occupies a
good part of his time in court, and
pretended he did not hear Mr. Frakes'
remarks which were loud enough to
be heard all over the building. Econ
omy is the proper remedy, but those
who preach it should also practice it.
Let u glance at the figure for the
year ending July 1, 1895, and compare
tbe amount received by the two com
missioners for that time. Mr. Frakes
received for the year $114, of which
amount $13.10 wa mileage. Mr.
Schoonover for tbe same period re
