OUTSIDE POSTAL DELIVERY.
MATTERS ARE WORKING FA-
VORABLY.
The Prospect is Bright for One or
Two Rural Routes in
This County.

Special Postal Agent William F. An
min was recalled to Salt Lake City be-
fore he had a chance to revisit this
county for the purpose of further eX-
an1ining into the proposition of recon-
mending the establishment in Sacra-
mento of one or more free postal coun
try delivery routes.
Mr.. Amin expects, however, to re-
turn to this coast in the near future,
and in the meantime he recommends
that maps of the several proposed dis
tricts, together with petitions of the
citizens residing in the same, be for
warded to the Postoffice Department.
Supervisors Curtis and Jenkins, As
semblyman Brooke and Under Sheriff
Reese have been working with will to
the end that at least two sucn routes
may be laid out in this county. A map
of the FlOrin district, showing each
house, road, ETC., has been drafted, and
Supervisor Curtis and ASSemblyman
Brooke have secured comprehensive
maps of the section south of Oak Park
extending west to Freeport, and of that
district embracing the J-street road
and Schley avenue, east of this city
The necessary petitions are being cir
culated through these districts, and are
meeting with the universal approval of
the inhabitants. The district from oak
Park west contains 217 families, while
each of the others have many more
than enough to secure recognition at
the hands Of the Postoffice Department.
The following letter received yester-
day by Mr.. Brooke from Congressman
~
details the work necessary for success
in the matter of free mail routes:
Stockton, Aug. 14th
Hon. Morris Brooke, Sacramento
My Dear Friend: Your favor is at
hand and its contents are duly noted. I
saw Mr.. Amin few minutes before
his departure for Salt Lake City. lie
told me that he expected to return to
the city soon, and that those communi-
ties in the district which desired con-
sideration looking to the establishment
of rural delivery, should file a petition
with the department.
Such petitions should contain road
map setting out the road to be travelled
by the carrier, showing that it would
accommodate sixty or one hundred
families or persons, and should be ac
cOmpanied by the signatures OF these
who would be willing to put up boxes
for the accommodation of the carriers.
Upon the filing of such a petition with
the department. it would be referred to
him and he would then examine it and
report.
I am very much in hope that Sacra-
mento will get a district, ari have no
doubt but that it will come in due
course of time. I shall be very glad
to cooperate in any way that will
expedite this matter Very sincerely
yours, MARION DE VRIES.

vices in experimenting the cutting and
hauling of the wood, but was not to
sell any of the Slme nor collect money
therefore, and that after deducting ex-
penses the net proceeds We're to be
equally divided between plaintiff and
defendant
1t is alleged that since the COM
mencement of the copartnarship defend
ant has wrongfully, and without con-
sent of the plaintiff, sold secSetly and
collected the proceeds arising from such
sales, and applied the same to his own
use, and that he has incurred numer-
Gus bills for his Individual purposes and
charged them against the copartner-
ship and by such acts has become in
debted to the copartnership in the sum
of 81 ,000
Wherefore plaintiff prays that the CO.
partnership be dissolved; that the firm
property be sold and the surplus di-
vided between the plaintiff and de-
fendant, according to their respective
interests; that the defendant be re-
strained from interfering with the
firms property, and that he be taxed
the costs of the suit.

DUGGAN'S KNIFE.
1t Gets Him Into Trouble and He
is Bound Over.

William Duggan, an habitual drunk
ard and saloon ''rounder," was yester-
day held to answer for assault with
deadly weapon. The original charge
was assault with intent to murder.
The offense consisted in stabbing Leo
Borella in the back on July 29th. The
men were both drunk and got into a
row. Borella swore that he saw the
gleam of Duggans knife and felt the
keen sting of the blade, which made a
two-inch wound in his back. He ad
mitted that he had tried to hit Duggan
with a stone Nobody else saw the
stabbing, though one witness swore he
saw Duggan CLOSING something in his
hand
Judge Anderson said it was his duty
to bind the defendant over, though the
evidence was probably too light to Sc
cure a conviction by jury.

Thomas Coulter Brings Suit
Against John Tyndal1.

Thomas Coulter, by his attorneys,
Miller and Brown, has brought suit in
the Superior Court for the dissolution
of the copartnership heretofore exist

The complaint recites that in Decem-
Der, 1897, plaintiff and defendant, by
an oral agreement, mutually entered
into a copartnership for the purpose of
taking a contract for the cutting and
selling of wood in Tehama County; that

grew gradually less and the surface of
the water in the we'll raised in proper
ton, showing that friction and nature s
forces work in opposition and the limit
is reached when they become equal.
The greatest amount discharged from
this well was nearly $500 gallons per
minute. and the experiment simply
proyed-as the others habitat the
volume of water that can be pumped
from a we'll is in proportion to it's area.
Now who can say that five foot we'll
Will not supply as much water in pro-
portion to size as a five-inch Well?
Science and experience both seem to
prove it, and certainly those who in
sist on inexhauStable reservoirs will be-
lieve it, and the writer without a name
in this mornings paper who has dis
covered the "bottomless pitt in Oak
Park will know that it is so.
Now, if I were permitted to make a
suggestion l would say bore we'll large
enough for 100000 gallon pump.
Secure the largest pump that can be
found. Immense second hand mining
pumps can be gotten that will give
such we'll a pretty good test. Get
the largest one available and see what
it will do. In my opinion it would not
at first be supplied with sufficient wa
ter, but small wells can be bored
around the large one on radius OF
say 90 feet, and small pumps and en-
gines put in to pump out the sand and
create a reservoir. Other small wells
can be bored farther from the large one
until a reservoir of any necessary ex-
tent can be created. Not that a reser-
voir is of any value to a 100000
pump, but when sufficient surface is OBJ
tained for percolation all the water will
be secured that is desired.
This experiment will necessarily cost
considerable money, but if successful
not a cent would be lost, as the well
could be used for the permanent pump,
but if it demonstrates that enough wa
ter cannot be secured it will settle the
question permanently and save the ex-
penditure of a larger amount in sew
eral lesser experiments.
