OF conveyance that is Inadequate for the
route in respect TO the certainty, security
and CELEBRITY Of the mails, aside from any
accommodation for travel, il will not be
entitled to the route.
90. Vixen the bid does not name a
mode of conveyance, it will be taken and
| understood TO be for the lowest mode 10
conveyance, to-wit, on horseback
When it proposes to carry according to
the advertisement, and no mode 0f con-
veyance is stated for the route in the adj
vertisement, 1t will be considered as of.
fcring only for horseback conveyance.
81. Since the passage of the act of
M arch 3, 1915, new description of bid
has been received. 1t specifics no mode
of Conveyance, but engages 10 carry the
mail with certainty, CELEBRITY, and securi-
Is, using the terms of the law. These
bids are called, from the manner in
which they are designated ON The hooks
of The department. .'star bids" 1t has
been decided, alter mature consideration,
that IA hid proposlng specific mode oil
con icy ance OF as high grade as two
horse coach transportation is to be pre-
ierred 10 the star bid. The experience
of the Department enables it to lay down
the following rules, viz:
When the mail on the route is not SO
large as to require two horse coach con-
veyance, a star bid, if the lowest, will be
preferred to The specific bid.
%. When the mails are of such size
and weight as 10 render il necessary or
expedienl, in reference to them alone, 10
provide twohorse coach conveyance, the
specific bid, though the highest, will be
preferred TO the star bid, to the extent of
moderate difference in the compensa-
tion, in case the difference is not such to
interfere with the policy of the new
law, which looks to reduction in the
cost of transportation. Exceptions,
however, may be allowed, where the
star bid is made by The present owner of
the stock on the route, and it is manifest
that the reasons for preferring the specif-
ic bid do not exist in his case.
%. On routes of the highest class,
where fOur-horse coach or steamboat
transportation is required by the size and
importance of the mails, the preference
for The specific bid will be, if necessary.
carried to a greater extent OF difference
than on the inferior coach routes, sub
ject, however, TO the exceptions above
stated.
81. A modification of bid, in any of
ITS essentiOl terms, is tentamount to
new bid. and clnnot be received, SD az
to interfere with regular competition, at
ter the last hour set Tor receiving bids.

Strive on-the ocean ne'er was crossed
Repining on the shore;
A nations freedom neer was won
When sloth the banner bore.
Strive on-'tis cowaraly to shrink
When dangers rise around;
IT'S sweeter far, though linked with pain
To gain the vantage erounl.
Bright names are on the roll of Fame,
Like stars they shine OH hi,h;
They may be hid with brighter rays,
But never, never die!
And these were lighted mid the gloom

Struggling through Yeas OF pain and toll.
Vi .oyisss poverty.
But strive-this worlds not all waste,
A wilderness OF care;
Green spots are on the field of life,
And tiowrets blooming fair.
