A four-horse stage is to be put on the |
road the lst of February between Liv-

line which will be extended through I
the Belt mountains to Neihart and Bar
ker, there to connect with the present I
stage line to Benton. A boom in the |

this mail line, to give the Barker people |
direct communication with their county |
seat, instead of the present circuitous |
route via the Judith Gap.
