advantage Of tho fact that Balmaceda had
withdrawn all troops from their country to

white people. chiefly English. who. under tho

region. The settlers were organizing to re-
sist the Indians who had committed these hor-
rible atrocities.

POSTAL EXPERIMENTS.
Success OF the Free Delivery System n .
Small Delaware VILLAGE.

NEWARK. Del. Sept. 24.-This Is one Of nearly
fifty villages to enjoy Postmaster General
Wanamaker's experiment In free postal de-
livery for small communities The experiment
here has been going on for nearly seven
months. and during most OF that time 1t has
been practically sclf-supporting. The towns
people are so well pleased with the system
that should the Government discontinue It the
Postmaster would probably have little difficulty
In raising n popular subscription for its main
tenance.
Newark has a population Of about 1.400 per-
sons. Tho town Is for the most part strung
along a single street. about n mile long. Three
side streets contain. perhaps. one.fourth Of
the population Who tho free delivery service
was started the Post OfIice Department stipu-
lated that It should not cost more than $50 for
the year. The Postmaster therefore set about
figuring on Just what he could pay carrier.
and how much he could allow for incidental
expenses. The carriers salary was fixed at a
fraction above S14 per month. and there was
an expense OF q few dollars to Ak letter boxes

GUARDING AGAINST sNowsLIDEs.
Many Miles or Cedar Tunneis Buslt Along
the seikirk Mountain Sides.

The Canadian Pacific Railroad has spent
over a million dollars In the protection OF its
line against snowslides. Tho greatest dan
ger ~ delays from this source IL found among
the Selkirk Mountains. through which the rail-
road runs for scores OF miles. with mountains
on either side towering thousands OF feet
above tho track. II Is now known whore the
dangers OF snowsldcs are likely to occur. and
such ample provision hns been made that
trains are not ut all delayed. There are miles
OF sheds. or. more properly tunnels. made OF
massive timbers These sheds are built OF
heavy. squared cedar logs. dovctnilcd and
boltod together. backed with rock. and fitted
into the mountain sides In such n manner rs

Sometimes tho snow slips down tho mountain
side In enormous quantities. and shoots right

The railroad has never been embarrassed by
serious landslides although some years ago
there was IN enormous slide which nearly
damned tho Thompson River for forty-eight
hours. Track walkers always go over the
route after every train passes. to SEQ that al is
right for the next train. In addition to tho
snow sheds and the bulwarks built on the Sell

are Of peculiar interest. Tho principal diff

A number of these cascades necessitate the
