5ondsrlsn who Were Completing the Con
tract Give ID in Disgust.
The overland hack and mail between
Goodland and St. Francis had a seri-
Gus interruption last week, aud the
people Of the Republican river town
we're cut of from the outside world for
a couple Of days, as most OF the mail
for that village comes to GOOdland and
then is carried to its destination By a
stage which makes daily trips to the
sanity city.
The contract for carrying the mail
between the two towns was let to J. z.
Wallace by the star route sharks.
Wallace accepted the contract at such
a low figure that it vas little better
than working for nothing. He soon
tired Of his job and refused to carry
out the contract. The star route PeO-
pie went after his bOndsmen, Fred
HodgkinsOn and John HartzIer They
increased the amount to be received
and HOdgkinsOn and Hartzler employ
ed George Melton to carry the mail
The trip has to be made every day, a
total distance Of 20 miles.
Everything had been moving along
nicely until recently when the star
route people began to hold back Ger
tain amount Of the money. It seems
they were trying to hold the bOndsmen
70 the Wallace contract, SO the bonds
men baked and refused to carry the
mail longer.
A star route contractor has been in
GoOdland for a week past, and he sue
ceeded in getting William frost to
complete the contract, who will com
mmence Monday. frost will only carry
the mail, the hack feature being dis
continued.

TROOPS FOR IDAHO.
General Merritt viii Comm and the situa
tlOn.


Wardner Idaho, May 2.-The pres
ence of the soldiers has eased the situ-
alton remarkably, and tonight the
people are gradually regaining slight
confidence, but it is felt that peace
cannot be assured until 500 troops are
quartered here.
Captain Batcheler and his gallant
seventy-siX soldiers, assisted by 100
townsmen who are under arms, would
give such resistance as would annihil-
ate any ordinary force, but should the
100 men up Canon creek arrive fully
armed the little guard now here could
hardly hope to cope with them.
The old militia guns to the number
of about seventy have all been dis
tributed among the men here, and
what state ammunition remained has
also been distributed among the men.
About 1000 rounds of cartridges, be-
longing to the old militia force and
stored in the vaults at the Bunker hill
office. We're lost in the wreck of that
property. Besides the state guns. all
the private arms i'm towns have been
put to use.
Boise, Idaho. May 2.-General Mer-
riam arrived here at 3 o'clock this
morning and has ordered troop +.
Fourth cavalry, stationed here. to pro-
ceed to Wardner at once. There are
no other new developments in the situ-
alton.
General Merriam will leave at 10
o'clock tonight for the north. He de-
clines to make known what troops he
has ordered into the scene of trouble.
-Four companies of the Twenty
fourth infantry have been ordered to

The weekly crop bulletin of the Colo
RADIO section of the Department of
Agriculture says that while cold nights
have been the feature of the week. the
average of the seven days has been
normal. There has been some rain in
the western counties, but rains have
continued throughout the state. Rain
is especially needed in the Arkansas
valley. Work has progressed rapidly,
but high winds and cool nights have
rendered the soil too dry for germina-
tion, and retarded the growth of
grasses. The effect of the exception
ally cold winter on fruit, especially
cherry and apple trees. becomes more
apparent as the season advances and
the damage will prove more serious
than anticipated. In the north-central
portion of the state the wheat seeding
Is nearly finished. All pears are killed
there, also alfalfa, but the prospect for
the apple crop is fair. In the eastern
section the weather is generally un-
favorable. and farm work is slow On
the divide some plowing has been
done. but the precipitation is insult
ficient. Arkansas valley peas, wheat
and oats are all sown. Practically all
the fruit is killed and the water supply
is insufficient. In Grand and Gunni-
son valleys the soil is in excellent con-
dition and plowing and seeding are
progressing. In the parks little has
been done. The soil is drying rapidly
and grass is starting.

sands of tons of ore nre now on the
sidings to these mills, waiting to be
treated.
One of the big properties of the
camp few days ago received n tele-
gram from n mill manager which read:
For Gods sake don't send any more
ore. We have seventy ears now on
