FREE RURAL DELIVERY.

The following excerpt OF Interest, In
connection with the good roads convention
to meet In Houston next Saturday. will be
read with profit. 1t is taken from the ad-
dress delivered recently before the Iowa
good roads and public improvement con-
vention by Francis NJ. Dice, United States
special agent OF rural free delivery:
Let me give you my conception Of an
ideal free delivery route. Starting at the
distributing postofnce. to which all mail
OF each patron OF the route must be ad-
dressed. thence over gravel or macadam-
ICED road ten or twelve miles out. thence
two miles across thence ten or twelve
miles back. thence two miles to the post
office. This circuit would be In the shape
OF parallelogram, and would serve an
area from forty Ave to flfty-Ave square
territory, the opportunity Of having a
postoffce practically within. at the far
thest, ono mile from his home.
Along this route each patron is ex-
pected to provide upon post, galvan-
lied iron box 16x6x6 inches. open at the
end, with the name OF the patron of such
box thereon. Such boxes to be placed SO
convenient that the carrier can easily
open them to collect from and distribute
mail thereon Along this route the carrier
goes daily. at the rate Of four miles an
hour. carrying and distributing the bene-
factions OF the postal service. Thus such
carrier can over good roads. make the
Ave dirty
miles. in seven or eight hours, without
Inconvenience to himself or team.
What does this mean to the people
along such route, or living in this terri
tory? It means a daily mail service to
each OF them. with all that that implies.
Prompt conveyance OF letters. either OF
friendship or business. Quick answers
and quick replies. morning paper fresh
from the press with the doings OF the
world on its pages. Market reports, more
valuable and necessary to farmer, than
to the great grain merchant or stock
dealer. Under its enlightening influence.
the Isolation OF farm life disappears and
men come more and more into closer and
moro vital Relationship with each other.
Under such contact with the world OF bust
ness the world OF Thought, the improve
ments OF the age and the progress of civ
ilization, the mind broadens, sympathy
develops, tho soul expands and all are at
tuned to the harmony OF the Millennial
Ode. The Fatherhood OF God and the
brotherhood OF Man.
These are but few of the many social.
moral and intellectual advantages and
compensations which will follow the estab-
lishment OF the rural FREQ delivery OF mail,
and for such blessings good highways are
prerequisite and indispensable.
