The marked increase in the volume
of Clusters postal business is indicated
in the number Of advertised letters, as
compared with the number advertis.
ed a few months ago. During the early
months of the year the lists contained
from twenty to fifty names, increasing
each month, until now, the number for
September has reached $40, which Is
probably the largest list of letters be-
ing advertised by any Office in the state.
The Custer Office is doing more business
than many salaried Offices, but by a rule
of the post Office department, The Of

THE HEART OF THE ALLEGANIES

III HEANI Ut LIE AI-LECANIE'o
Writing Of recent trip across the
mountains of West Virginia a gifted
journalist says:
Twilight on the grade is grand. The
mountain SUBMITS look like the bushy
tops of trees. The sun has disappeared
in ball of fire at his jumping off place, "
but the vivid lighting of the western sky
by the still upturned illumining face be-
ow the horizon is in marked contrast to
the gathering shades behind the rushing
train. From shelf to shelf, from crag to
crag. from brinkto brink, we almost fly.
Like a flashing Transformation, rendering
almost past belief the fact that the scene
is in the midst of the Alleghanies, comes
bit of landscape gardening with all the
beauties of walks and hedges and bright
hued flowers, a mountain brooklet tumb-
ling through the centre-Ruckhorn Wall,
the most noted and most admired view
that can be had from any known point
in the Allegheny range. To enable the
road to span the tremendous gorges, a
MASSIVE wall ofeut stone was erected for
a distance Of several hundred feet, and
more than hundred feet above the foun-
dation rock. AS the river makes an alb
rupt turn at right angles, deep canyon
is opened up for miles. Range afterrange
of mountains disappear behind each 9TH

CITY AFFAIRS.

Elsewhere will be found full and co m
plete statement OF the finances ofthe City
ofSauk Centre as administered bv the au-
thorities during the past year, and special
attentlo is directed to the de tails Of
the report. There are considerable items
in it, doubtless, which will be criticized
more or less sharply, but none upon
which any great number will unite in
condemning. The council about to go
out is not infallible-the new one need
not expect to he. To the conduct of the
affairs of the city they brought integrity,
diligence and economy ioing what they
believed to be for the best interests of
the city as a whole. How many citigens
in their private business have expended
an equally large sum of money with
fewer mist axes, and more wisely, than
these mel have handled public funds?
The city finances are in excellent shape.
and considering the extraordinary de-
mands incident to the new order OF things
in changing from i village to city gov
vernment, and the extra burdens laid up
on the council by reason of building the
city hall, the mayor and council are en-
titled to the warmest encomiums. Not
a cent have they received for performing
arduous and responsible duties, requir-
ing shrewd management, personal labor
and no end of time and annoyance. The
position of mayor and alderman of even
a small city like this, is no sinecure.
There are hundred petty trials and
sacrifices which must be made-and not
the least OF these trials is the necessity
of submitting to unearned and undeserv-
ed criticism. The retiring members of
the council are entitled to the thanks of
the community.
The new council will begin their duties
under favorable auspices. They will
have the advantage of the experience of
the old board and continuing members
of the new one. Many of the novel fea
lures which confronted the board year
ago have been tested and settled. The
burden of extraordinary expenditures of
money will, however, rest as heavily this
year as last Then it was city hall to
be built-now it is a bridge. That they
will be fully equal to discharge the extra
duty as satisfactorily as their predecess-
ors no one who knows them will for a
moment doubt.
But it is in the routine work of the adj
ministration that the scvcrcst tests will
come, after all. che mayor has num-
Der of important appointments to make,
and he has indicated his ability in that
direction during the past year. That
his selections were not all universally &C
eeptable goes without saying. No ap-
pointing power on the face of the earth
ever escaped criticism. But did the ap-
pointive officers of the city last year dis
charge their duties conscientiously
and with reasonable ability? That is
the test question. Examine their work
critically before pas sing judgment. The
question OF assessing and equalizing prop
.erty is a matter for serious considera-
.tion. The selection of an assessor and
. then reviewing his work is one of the
most importent functions of the council.
The legislative branch Of the work,
too, is of prime importance. Our city Or
