settlers in the section, Gen. Terry closes by
saying:

for their mail ON the route IN question and the
private interests involved fully Justify, In my
judgment, the increase asked for.'
This letter was forwarded to the POST
office Department by the Hon. G. w. Nc
Crazy, then Secretary of War, who closes
his letter Of transmissal by saying: The
general Of the army recommends a tri-

increased and expedited the route, as pre-
yiously stated in this article.

ON It the pay was increased more than Oh
any other The bureau of defamation in
the Star-route press exploited this route rs
a great swindlc and denounced Brady and
Dorsey for It. With how much Justice can
be seen by the facts from the record. Even
If Dorsey had written every one. of these
