VOL. XXX. UKIAH, MENDOCINO FRIDAY. JUNE 22, 1906. THE ONE HORSE SHAY ECLIPSED Ed Shelton was down from Potter this week to see the latest creation in freight wagons which has just been completed at sliop of Tom Charlton Son of this city and built to his especial order.

To say that Mr, Shelton was pleased is putting it mildly and bo loudly proclaimed that he has the best wagon ever produced. He has secured a contract on the coast and will initiate the vehicle in hauling tan bark and ties. Tom Charlton designated the wagon as a four horse, two and a half axel freight wagon and states that it weighs about twenty- five hundred pounds. The wagon is fitted with a double brake which certainly is a model and works extremely easy and is capable of holding on any grade. The best of materials been used throughout and the finish demonstrates that if a man wants a good serviceable wagon ho can get it made in this city.

When the reporter sized up the the wagon and remarked that it looked heavy Tom pointed out a couple of wheels which E. Smith of Upperlake is having made and fitted for a hind gear to go on his two and a quarter wagon and will be used in hauling the bean crop over from Lake county. Each of the wheels weighs pounds and they will be fitted with a two and three quarter axel weighing two hundred pounds. The estimated weight of the hind gear when completed is 1500 pounds. The reporter did not have the temerity to enquire what a completed wagon built on this mammoth fcale would weigh but felt sure that it would last several times as long as the famous one horse shay and would then only be discarded because it was either too light or had gone out of style.

Tom also had a few rubber tired buggies and light rigs that he had turned out but then these are in another class and would require a separate article. No. 40 SOME MONSTER STRAWBERRIES New Manager Appointed. Attorney John L. MoNab of this city has been appointed a member of the board of managers of the local state hospital by Governor Pardee vice T.

A. Templeton, resigned. Mr. McNab is a well known attorney of this city and for the past four years has been the chairman of the Republican county central committee and has always been active in llepublican politics. The appointment is particularly pleasing to his friends and they feel sure that he will make a good record in his new capacity.

The retiring manager, T. A. Templeton, received hiB appointment from Henry T. Gage ftnd the governor so well satisfied with him that althouKb his appointment run over for two years Mr. resignation has been for tome time he has never teen fit to accept it until the present time, when be waa again urgently requested to do to by Mr.

TempIetOQ, the oare of hit tummer retort, Baker would interfere with biadutiei Af ittendioK the meetlogi. E. V. D. was in from Paul- heim ranch this week and brought in a photograph of some of the monster strawberries grown by him.

Three berries were laid on a rule and they measured a little over six inches across and were of similar proportions in other dimentions. They were without doubt the finest berries ever produced in this section and are grown by Mr. Paul from ordinary vines by an improved method of cultivation. The large berry does not usually tempt the housewife as what they make up in size they usually lose in flavor but with Mr. Paul's method the berries retain their llavor even with the increased size and he believes that in time he can produce a berry that will go ahead of anything on the market at present, both for size and flavor The beriies produced by Mr, Paul simply demonstrate what can be done in this climate by scientific principles applied to gardening.

Bogert Is Arrested J. G. Bogert, the owner of Castle Garden near Low Gap, was arrested on a felony charge this week and his hearing has been set for Monday morning. It seems that Bogert is charged with making false statements regarding hia loss by the fire which consumed the buildings on his ranch some months ago in to collect his insurance. The companies had delayed in paying the loss as there seemed to be some suspicious circumstances connected with it and wore investigating the matter.

Oflicer Toney, armed with a search warrant, visited the Bogert ranch this week and located considerable furniture and other property stored away in out buildings and which had been brought in as exhibits. The insur ance companies claim that this furni ture is a portion of what it was claimed had burned in the house. INDIA.N SKULL FOR UNIVERSITY The first skulls or skeletons of the Porno Indians in any mueeum or in- situation have been secured for the University of California by an expedition headed by Dr. Samuel A. Barrett, museum assistant in the department of anthropology, which was sent to Mendocino county for the purpose of obtaining remains of Indians inhabiting that section.

Five compelete skeletons besides a number of partial remains and a large quantity of beads and otlicr objects buried with the dead have been brought back. They will be of great importance in determining the racial qualities of this tribe and its physical relationships with the other Indians of the State. Under ordinary circurastanceb the Pomo have always practiced cremation instead of burial, which accounts for almost universal loss of their remains. They were a people of medium stature, with heavy round skulls, difTering markedly from some of their neighbors of short heights and unusually long heads. It is planned at the first opportunity to extend the know- lege regarding them by a largo serial of measurements ahd photograps of living individuals of their race.

The bones obtained are now being measured and when tiiey have been compared with remains of other tribes the result will be published by the University. It is expected that this determination of the physical characteristics of the Indians will give much informotion as to their origin, connections and migrations that cannot bo obtoined by a study of their language and customs. A JUDICIAL CANDIDATE Woolsale Next Week. The postponement of the local wool sale until the 26th proved an inconvenience to some of the woolmen as the change was not advertised. It also resulted in an unprofitable trip to a couple of buyers at least who came to this city with the expectation of getting a good share of the clip at a good price for the grower.

One buyer was a representative of F. B. Findley Co. of San Francisco and the other gentleman represented an eastern house. Both gentlemen, however, stated that they would surely make the trip to this city next week and compete with the gentlemen who usually visit this city as buyers.

This will no doubt increase the prospects of the woolmen and prevent his fleece being taken at the same time aa that of hii flock.

James Anthony was in town this week on a visit. He was a former resident but this is his first visit in the past twenty years. He is in poor health and has been traveling around for several years in search of a climate that suited him and has finally concluded to try Mendocino again. He was agreeably surprised in the many improvements that the town had made in tbe past two decades and has had a pleasant time hunting up old acquaintances and He was joined here by his brother, George Anthony, who was accompanied by his daughter, Georgia. George is located at Williams.

Both are popular young people and their friends wish and them a long and happy life. Judge Albert G. Burnett of Santa Rosa has consented to allow his name to be mentioned for associate justice of the supreme court.

The judge is well known in this city and has on several occasions occupied the bench and has won for himself many warm friends by his fairness and impartiality. The following is taken from the Santa Rosa Republican and represents the manner in which his present constituents feel regarding his candidacy. Judge Albert G. Burnett will be a condidate before tho next Republican state convention for associate justice of our supreme court. He is a man of splendid ability and fine personality, a well read and experienced attorney and judge.

After engaging in private practice here for several years the subject of this sketch served two terms as district attorney. Then he was elected superior judge of this county ten years ago, and was reelected four years ago, running ahead of his ticket in every contest for otVice that he has ever made before our people. Judge Burnett rsnks among the strong members of the bench in California. In the course of his judicial career he has had many hard legal nuts to crack and ho has never hesitated to do hia duty. He has been called to San Francisco to try three highly important criminal vs.

McQlade, People vs. Docia Nolan and People vs. George D. Collins. These have been among the most noted criminal cases in the State the past few years and it was a high compliment to hear them.

The first two of these cases were appealed to the supreme and the rulings of the trial judge were fully sustained. Tho Collins case is still fresh in the minds of our readers. The bigamous attorney found his match when his case came before Judge Burnett. He was unable to got advantage of the court at any point and WAS promptly convicted. It seems highly desiroble to have men of such learning and forc3 of character in our courts.

Hence the friends of Judge Burnett will present his name to the next Republican etate convention as a candidate for tho supreme bench of California. EFFECTS OF THE SAILOR'S STRIKE The sailors strike on the coast vessels has tied up the coast trade and is working hardships on the shippers and travelers alike. All passengers from and to Eureka are now going over the local railroad and the Overland Stage line from Sherwood. That the Eureka people are getting short on the luxuries of life is evidenced from the fact that among a shipment of freight at the local depot is seveal cases of Champagne which will be taken up'overland. On the coast of this county the strike is also getting in its work and the stores are getting to look pretty empty it is said.

Some of the village smithys are running out of supplies and have been ordering from this city. Tom Charlton reports that John Chambers of Mendocino had a shipment tied up in transit and has since been ordering through him. If the ship owners and the sailors do not patch up their difficulties pertty soon tbe condition is apt to be serious. THE DEMOCRATS IN DISSENTION Former Resident Dud Mrs. Theresa Murray died at Oakland June 12, lOOU, after a short illness, tays the Mendocino Beacon.

Deceased was a retident of Mendocino for the greater portion of btr life. She left here in 1895 to reside in San Francisco. She wat known as woman having many good traita of character and poiieised a remarkable memory. She was born in County Clare, Ireland about tixty-tbree yeart ago and oame to America with her parentt at the age of tlx yeart. Her family lived in Botton and other Maisaehuaettt townt for teveral yean.

Pickle of Potter was in town this week and reports that be has finished the Witter springs road which turns ofif at the county line end goes over the hill to the springs. This new grade is about three and a half miles long and makes the road to the springs about six miles shorter. The road is built in the style characteristic of Mr. Pickles roads and is good and wide and is on an eight and a half percent grade making an easy pull for the pleasure seekers. The springs people were delighted with the work and showered Mr- Pickle with compliments and needles to say he is highly pleased with the job himself.

In bulding roads Mr. Pickle has few equals. Frasier for the Assembly The announcement of L. B. Frasier for the assembly will be found in this issue.

Mr, Frasier has been a lifelong Republican and has been a resident of this county for the greater part of thirty-five years. While he has always been an active worker in the interests of the party he has never before sought political preferment and his friends believe therefore thit his candidacy should be given the most serious consideration at the hands of the party. Mr. Frasier is a a well known realeetate agent of this city and is president ot the Vitionlt- ural Aisooiation of Mendocino county in which capacity he has done a great deal toward furthering tbe intereeti of the grape growers in the county and increasing the acreage of grapet. Rode the Goat.

Mrt. M. E. Hubbell of Hopland wat in Ukiah last Monday night to be initiated into the mytteries of the Eastern Star. There were two other candidates, Miaa May Thomas and Dr, J.

R. Thomas of this city. After the oereraonies the members of the chapter aat down to an elegant repast in the banquet room. Mrs. W.

W. Thatcher of Hopland was also present to toe (bat Mrt. Hubbell mat with no mishap. Cxcartion Sunday. The flrat excursion from San Fran- eitoo wat run into this city last Sunday and about six hundred of tbe of that stricken oity availed tbemaelres of a few hours in which to tiaw more pleoeant sights and inhale good, fretb air.

Among them were eeveral former retidenta of this city. They all seemed to be oheerful and Boaa of them seemed to be mourning over anything be bad lost. Hersei For San Francisco. Tom Ohaae passed through town Wsdaeaday tfith head of horses which were being shipped to Ban Francisco from tbe Walker valley ranch. There were several fine work horses in the band and they will be used in olearimg off tbe debris from the site of new San Franoisoo.

There seems to be a slight disturbance in the camps of the democrats in county and some of the leaders are saying things about each other. One of the points of dissention is the announcement ot R. E. Donohoe as a candidate for the nomination for sheriff and the manner in which the Dispatch, tbe organ of the Sanford combinationi unqualifiedly endorses him for nomination. Of course rone of the gentlemen cast any reflection on Mr.

Donohoe and do not blame him in the least but they place the blame" on the Sanford combination for inducing him to run and endeavoring to shut out both Singleton and Ornbaun, whose intentions of running for the office hove known ever since the Jlast campaign. Both Singleton and Ornbaun were willing to go into the convention and fight the matter out and abide by the decision of tha party and then line their friends up for the winner. With Donohoe in tbe fight, however, backed by all the Ukiah combination they figure that their chances of even getting a look in are growing slimmer every day. Singleton's friends think there is too much Sanford in the politics of this county anyway and still cite the manner in which he structed his man Friday on the board of supervisors overlook the volamin- ouB petitions of both Singleton and Ornbaun without 6ven a complimentary vote. They did effect a combination that put him down and out and he lost anyway but then they still have it in for him for whet his intentions were.

Mike says that all he wanted was a square deal and he does not see where he is going to get it. He has been spending time and money on the thing for the past four years and has been encouraged in his aopirations by the leaders until recently. He has a solid delagation back of him in the third supervisor district and has had al! the time and will show up with them at the convention and it is rumored that they will stand pat for Mike, Ornbaun is in the same condition and the number of friends he has in the first district was shown by the immense petitions signed by the best men in the district that were presented to the board of supervisors when he wanted the appointment of sheriff. Billy will also have a full delegation representing his interests at the convention from the first district. There seems to be a determination among them to get to the bottom ol the affair at the convention and see who really is the boss anyhow.

The impression seems to be, however, that as Sanford is state senator; runs the Democratic official organ; controlls a member of the board of supervisors; is high chief ranger of the Foresters and publishes the official paper for that order; would aspire to the gubernatorial nomination if he thought a Democrat had as much chance as a chicken and if it were not for his friend, getting there firet, and a few other things, it is about time for him to commence letting loose of something or the pie will not go around. Mike has lots of friends and is a good scrapper and so is Billy and it looks as if Mr. Sanford were about due for a few minutes that would resemble midday on tbe desert. Crockett for Justice. In this issue will be found tbe announcement of Judge Crockett as a candidate for the office of justice oI the peace for this township subject to the decision of the Demooratio county convention.

Mr. Orooket has held tbe offioe or tbe past four yetua and feels that he is entitled to the nomination again this year. Mr. Orookett is a good citizen and has made a good offloial. Tbe party would make no mistake In hoQoring him with a renomination,.
