Twenty-Five years ago, the first band Of
pilgrims, headed by Green Russell, from the
valley of the Mo, landed, or went into
camp, at the mouth of Cherry Creek, the
present site Of Denver, and went 10 work
prospecting for gold. Their search was not
in vain. Other sections were pruspected
over and the giitteriDg lu2re found in many
places. The great Pixies Peak rush soon
followed Scores of persons came and from
that day to this the prosperity Of the terri
tory, now a state, has been remarkable.
From 1858 to 1861, 10000 people came to
this country. A certain old.timer, lspeak

The paducah News seems to think
that the possible construction Of the Wetaug
road is, or ought to be, source Of displeas-
urc to Cairo and ought to be cried down by
US with all the energy of despair. And see
ing that we have seen fit to regard the en-.
terprisc with much indifference, il has taken
upon itself the "painfu" task of pointing
out to us the disastrous CT
fccts the construction of the road must
have upon Cairo. While ordinary polite.
ness would require US to thank the News
for its solicl,ule (assuming, of course, that
i, were sincere), we must beg leve to differ
entirely with our kind contemporary as to
the designs of the Illinois Central company
in projecting this new branch or the effects
of the branch in case it is constructed.
Though We can tell to certain extent and
with a great degree Of certainty what are
NOT the company's designs, we know
nothing about what ARE the designs of the
company in projecting the line; we do not
profess to know what would be the objects
of the company il it cons,ructedthe prof ct
cd line --and this is all the Paducah New.
Can say not a word more But the News
has been entirely off in its belief that cithel
the projection or the construction of the
line has any terrors for the people of Cairo

Postal improvements

Nothing better shows the progress
of the race than the modern facilities
for postal communication, compared
with the past. In the ancient world,
among the AsSyrians and Persians.
stations were established 4 days
journey apart and horsemen travelled
with all possible dispatch from one to
another. From the establishment of the
Roman Empire down to the thirteenth
century couriers were employed for
the quick transmission of dispatches.
But the remarkable thing about this
system was that the general public got
no advantage in the way of commune
cation, as it was only government
dispatches which were allowed to be
sent by these posts. The first courier
to transmit private letters was adopted
in 1916. 1t is worthy of note that when
the Spanish invaders entered Peru, in
1927, they found a postal system in
existence by which messages were
transmitted by a corps of swift-fOOted
runners. Our own postal system was
organized in 1710. In 1853, Ben.
Franklin was Postmaster General, and
in 1860 he startled the country by
running a postal wagon from Philadel-
phia through New York to Boston once
a week. Since then the income of the
post-office has steadily increased, and
the charges as steadily decreased. In
1916, letters sent under forty miles
were charged eight cents and over 500
miles twenty-five cents. Now half
ounce letter is conveyed to any part of
this vast country for two cents. At this
rate there would be a large profit over
the expense, were it not for the
astonishingly low rate charged for
newspapers and periodicals. The two
cents a pound which is the rate Oh
printed matter is only q fraction of the
cost to the government, and the coun-
try makes q present to the newspaper
proprietors of some $14,000,000 per
annum. The next reform will doubt
less be the increase of the weight
allowed on each letter to one ounce
that is, the citizen would then be
charged with the same rate for his
one-ounce letter as the publisher pays
for his pound of printed matter.
