AUTOMOBILES FOR
THE MAIL SERVICE
Proposition to Employ New Vehicles
in Gathering Route Loads
TO BE TRIED In WASHINT0N
Investigations Wade In Denver as 10
the PraeticaDiIity OF Adopting
the system There.

An automobile service for use In the
collection Of mail is predicted for Den
yer In the near future. The problem OF
gathering mail together quickly from
the different city mall boxes, says the
Post Of that city. which has fretted the
postofiioe department at Washington
since the box system was first estab-
llshed, may be solved by this departure.
The practicabillty OF the automobile
has been investigated and tried, but I'M
der u great disadvantage, and the ideal
city for the mobile truck has not yet
been discovered In this country
However, the investigation OF w. II.
Edene, assistant superintendent OF the
carrier system Of the United States. who
Is spending the week In Denver IN max
ing an official inspection Of the service,
bids fair to result In the selection OF a
city suitable for an experiment such as
is to be made in Washington. ID. c., by
Mr. Edens within few weeks.
When the automobile first was dis
cussed by the department Mr.. Edens
was appointed TO investigate Its capa-
bilitles for that line OF work and he Is,
without doubt. the best authority upon
that question IN the country.
Before | came to Denver on this trip,
he says, Il had satisfied myself that
there were three cities in the United
States In which I might, without undue
expense. make an experiment with the
automobile. They are Washington, Buff
falo and Denver. AS the most Import
ant OF the three | chose Washington,
and upon my return to Chicago ! shall
send there two machines, manufactured
by the Woods Motor e. Carriage com
pany. One Ia small collection cart and
the other heavy wagon for pouch mail.
These machines | have had In use In
Chicago. | had little confidence In the
success OF an experiment there, and
will confess that automobile service
there. so far as II has been tried, has
proven a failure.
III | voted merely upon my expert
ence with the machines In Chicago. I
should say Keep to the old system but
! shan't vote upon that experience, for
] am confident that when the autom0-
bile is perfected and the cost has come
down to a reasonable figure, that Il can
be used In the mail service in all cities
which are fortunate enough to have
good streets.
There Is no doubt In the world that
In year or two automobiles will be
perfected and can be adopted as useful

To what an ignoble end has come the
horse, mans most faithful four-footed
friend. when he Is cut TO pieces and fed
70 the coyotes, says the Boise States
man. To preserve him within the con-
fines OF brlght.labeled tin cans were
an imperishable honor in comparison.
SIN Idaho horses are being fed by the
dozens to the seavenges Of the sage
brush plains, according 10 reports made
to the wool growers association, ana
all for the protection OF the mild-eyed
wearer Of 20-cent wool.
The coyote question has been one oil
the most annoying, not to say expen-
slve, with which the wool growers OF
this state have had to deal. tloeks
have been known TO be decimated by
these sharp-teethed providers OF the
night. To resist these onslaughts upon
their fiOcks Idaho sheep owners nave
expended thousands OF dollars, ana no
succsSs crowned their efforts until pol

suit ~ concerted action among tue
sheep men OF various localities.
CAMPAIGN REPORTED.
The reports made 10 the association
are very interesting. State Senator
Frank X. Goodlng In his report OF the
work Of the Lincoln County Wool
Growers association made extended
reference to the campaign being made
there against the mutton-loving coyote,
During the past year. he said, 100 head
OF horses have been killed, literally IN
nocuIated with stryehnlne and used as
bats for the coyote. The result, Mr.,
Gooding declared, had been highly sat
issactory. The coyote family had been
materially diminished and flocks now
nibbled the green grass with the dan
ger OF their being ushered into the
maws OF their rayenous enemies mate
rally diminished. He reclted All in-
stance OF one flock strolling away With
out It's herder When these sheep were
overtaken not one was missing, al
though three nfgSts hey had passed
without their guardian. Before the
coyotes would have played sad havoc
with them. Mr.. Goodlng stated that
during the past year the horses had
been fed whole 10 the coyotes. II had
been found much cheaper 10 cut them
TO pieces and 10 distribute the poison
reeking remains over wider area. That
would be done In the future. He added
that the industry was fast becoming self
sustaining. The coyote skins COM
manded fair price, while the horse
hides were worth $3.50 each.

PROHIBITION THAT WORKS.
Kansas Temperance Advocates Offer
Rewards for Convictions.

According 10 the ST. Louis Republic,
n scheme that works has been devised
for enforcing prohibition In Kansas,
and temperance leaders are hopeful
that its adoption IN all parts Of the
State viii practically stop illegal traffic
in liquor II Is called the Reward for
Evidence" plan, and consists In the
Offering by temperance organizations
OF cash rewards for evidence Of the
illegal sale OF liquor No 'joint" but
has among It's patrons some persons 20
whom cash reward appeals, and these
are coming forward with the evidence
that convicts.
The scheme originated In the minds
Of the Rev. James Kerr, pastor OF the
Methodist church al Scandia.
AZ meeting % the ministers OF
Scandal Mr.. Kerr laid the matter before
them, ana a plan OF action was decided
upon. They went 70 the business men
and women living in and near Scan
dia with proposition that they should
all contribute to a fund TO be paid for
cOnylcting evidence against vlolators Of
the prohibitory law. a fund OF sew
eral hundred dollars was promptly and
easily secured. and Immediately the
following advertisement appeared on
every hand;
$50 REWARD.
The above cash reward will be paid
for information and evidence leading to
the arrest and final conviction OF any
person or persons found violating the
prohibltory law within the city limits
of Scandal, or within radius OF two
miles OF the corporate limits of said
city, whether as vendors, owners or
lessons Of buildings used or occupied in
such traffic Funds are on deposit and
payment of rewards viii be guaranteed
by bank holding same. For further par
ticulars or Information see ]. II. Gull
lors, w. c. King or the Rev. MIR. James
Kerr, chairman OF committee.
The FIRST day the advertisement was
out one jolntkeeper had his goods hur-
rled To the depot and then left Scandal
with unseemly haste. The next day
another jolntkeeper left town, and the
two remaining quit business day or
two later and expressed hope that
they might not be prosecuted for vio-
lations previously committed.
This method demolished the Joint
business IN Scandal within fOrty-eight
hours after the reward was offered, and
without single prosecution.
The plan Is now being tried with the
same encouraging results In CORTLAND,
Belleville, Norka and elsewhere in the
northern part OF the State.
Judge T. f. Carver chairman Of the
legal advisory committee OF the State
temperance union, and President j. w.
Gleed, both approve heartily Of the
| plan and II Is probable that the union
will officially recommend II in the next
number Of the Kansas Issue.

BRANDY FOR SOUP.

Some years ago" said Paderewski
the other day in the Chicago Post, II
dined with an official Of the Russian
army. This official had in his command
an officer OF great ability, who was
addicted to strong drink. II was ar
ranged that the man should take din
ner along with US that day. Instead Of
soup, the first course served 10 him was
brandy. which he must swallow a
spoonful at a time just as he would
have swallowed soup. After the first
spoonful he was so sick that he inn
plored to be spared. Under cover Of a
drawn revolver the official command
ed him to swallow every spoonful In the
place. The officer never drank a drop
of liquor after that. Try to drink cham
payne from a cup or liquor as that
man was forced to drink 1t, 1t will
make you deathly sick"
