That Distributing Office.

1t is an old and true saying that
"drowning men clutch at straws."
In grasping for the straw of q dis
tributing office our neighbors mis-
take the shadow for tho substance.
The fact that certain post Office
is m ade distributing point docs
not add dollar year to the busi-
ness of the town nor cent year
to the canceling receipts of the of
fee possessing it. 1t is simply a
public convenience which entails
upon the postmaster extra work in
sorting the mails for the various
mail routes radiating from his
Office without extra compensation
or clerk hire. The distributing
Office for Idaho county was located
at Mt. Idaho years before Denver
was born-or thought of; but its
removal to Grangcville has not
made any difference one way or
the other in the receipts of the Mt.
Idaho office. The idea that dis
tributing office will create business,
in Denver or elsewhere, is. there
fore ridiculous. The removal of
the distributing Office to Grange
vile four years since was necessi-
tated by the growth of business at
this place. We did the business of
the community; and the mail
routes and other subsidiary matters
followed the lines of least resis-
tance along the channel of natural
business development and centered
in Grangeville because it was for
the greatest good Of the greatest
number.
1t is significant that the demand
for a change does not come from
the residents on these mail routes
1t is a Denver proposition. by Den
yer and for Denver, exclusively
Our Denver friends have, of course
a perfect right to hustle for theil
town; and on the other hand thu
people whose interests are involv
ed have right to regard the scheme
as an indecent exposure of person
and to resent it accordingly.
There is another old saying tina
"you can lead horse to water bu
you cannot make him drink" Al
apropos paraphrase would read
"You can take the peoples mail t.
Denver, but you cannot. make then
trade there" The alleged "geo
graphical arguments" in favor Q
Denver are silly and childish. /
is true that Denver is tho centra
town of Camas prairie, and com
mands a fine view of the Seve
Devils, together with sundry o:he
advantages and disadvantage
which its neighbors do not possess
but as business center and dis
tributing point for the mails
Idaho county it is not entitled t
serious recognition.
