Uoldendale Sentinel. The democratic and republican tickets will perhaps appear in the Globs next week.

Charley Prindle was in town the first of the week interviewing our citixens on a proposition to build a grist mill at the Byrne place on Thlrtymile. He save hia object in wanting to build on the creek is that water for the engine can be obtained more readily, also wood. The Mayville people are anxious to have it built on the creek and are willing to subscribe one-half of the 3000 bonus asked, if the people of this section would subscribe the other $1501). Our citiaena do not teem to feel inclined to take any stock in the project unless the mill is built at Condon, but whether they will change their minds remains to be Been. There la one thing certain, thia section needs a mill badly. The populists of the 7th judicial dis trict did not make any nomination for prosecuting attorney. Thia leaves the contest between Hon.
