Jasper Kenton’s Letter.

Hillsdale, Mich., June 8, 1896. Ed Pilot:— For the pleasure or displeasure of my friends in old Jasper. I will try to write a short article for your paper; I like to live here very much as there is no mud, this hungry sand and gravel soil take's up all the rain and leaves no mud, but would much rather farm a level country with mud than to attempt to cultivate these hills. The scenery at this time in the year is at its best, there is an abundance of fruit. The small fruits are in the market and still coming. Strawberries plentiful and ; very large. We manage to get i around some of them while they last. Got a mess of new potatoes today the size of eggs. This is earlier than I ever remember of getting new potatoes in Jasper. While on the farm I have streten j ed the hides of a few cattle with corn and grass, but never ex--1 pected to stretch with pinchers ■and nails. I took the first offer I Which suits me much better than doing nothing. From start to finish the fur company is quite a business. I think am getting to be quite an expert, at first I could only stretch twelve or fifteen hides in ten hours, now I, can stretch from thirty eight to forty.

I can hit the tack or small nail instead of my Ungers with one eye shut better than I could at first; I like my work very much; it is not hard but confining to a person not used to staying with one kind of work for ten hours each day with no time to sit straddle of the fence talking t o

Neighborhood Notes and Gossip.

Snow Flake.

a neighbor. The firm is Worthing & Algier. Mr. Worthing reminds me of A. McCoy with his hurry and hustling; will take hold of a cow hide to get it out of his way, as McCoy would a sheep. He is said to be very wealthy, but does not seem to feei above the common people. The process of tanning and getting furs ready for coats is quite a business, from salt pile to soak tub, then to fleshers, from there to tan tubs, from there to drying room, then to the scrapers. They are then scraped to a proper thickness, then oiled and hung up for three days; then put into a large wooden barrel twelve feet in diameter, with a few wheel barrow loads of saw dust. These are kept revolving for three hours, which softens them up and takes the oil out. Thej are then taken to the wingers a very essential part of the process which makes them soft and pliable, then last but not least they come to my table to be stretched and when dry are carried to a separate building where they are made into over coats, robes etc. The patterns are made of leather. It takes from twenty to twenty-four coon hides to make an overcoat. This department prepares every thing for the sewing machine. They are now making twenty overcoats a day, as it will take that many each day till the first of November to fill present orders, with four men as traveling salesmen taking orders besides. When properly tanned and colored the horse hide makes a verynice overcoat but the black wooly cattle are very much nicer. A few words on politics before I close. There are many prohibitionist here mostly ail broad gaugers. You all know what that means. This is a local option town, according to democrat and republican ideas of dealing with the liquor traffic, but it doesn’t amount to anything, unless to convince some that' nothing short of national prohibition with a party in power that will work the machinery of government With a firm purpose will suppiess the liquor trade, or put it on an equality with horse stealing or counterfitting. The idea of giving a man the privilege to make fools and brutes of men is to thin for civilization not saying anything Christianity. The democrats here as near as I can find o.ut are for “free silver”. The democratic editor is not expressing, but like McKinley is waiting till after the convention. Both democrats and republicans are beginning to think for themselves and consult their own interests. Mayor Pingree of Detroit spoke for us here last week. He seems to be on the reform line. He has succeeded in getting some legislation done that was a great re lief to masses of the people of Detroit. He wanted first to be made governor, then give him a legislature that would not be controlled by sydicates and monopols, as had been the case for the last thirty years and he succeeded in doing much good that w&s needed. He favored McKinley for president with a reasonable tariff and an income tax. He denounced “free passes on railroads, denounced the two cent rate on 1,000 mile tickets as unjust to the poor. Among the things spoken of he mentioned that most every} thing decreased in value but money, it had doubled; that there was general depression, especially among the farming classes; he felt that the smiles must first come from the farmer. One of his remidies was to get after hoarded wealth; the fellows that do nothing but clip coupons, drain Uncle Sam and pay no taxes. He talked like an honest man for what was right and not for policy’s sake. He said one thing that I never heard a republican say before that the legislation of this country for thirty years had created a large army of millionares but a much larger army of tramps.” Some of the republican papers denounce him as a “no good” republican. Is it any wonder? The populists of H-illsdale county are among the most intelligent and are editing good and grand papers on finance, and they are the poor* man’s friend. Jasper Kenton.
