lishmcnt of rural free delivery. Where
= the roads are yOOd route u or 30
miles IN length may be more easily
served than another lOutc of Is or 20
miles over poor roads.
" In the fist case more people are
served, the service is performed m ore
cXpedltlously and with much more
ease by the carrier and his horse. The
carrier, too, can establish regularity
OF service enabling the farmers to

In the second instance, with the
short roue over bad reads as much
time is consumed in serving smaller
number Of patrons, the regularity Of
the service valics with the changing
conditions Of the roads, the wolk is
more trying on both the letter carrier
and his horse, and unsatisfactory to
the patti ons, especially when it becomes
necessary to suspend the service on
account of imrassablc portions of the
route.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY
Good Roads are Absolutelj Neces-
sary to Maintain the Service.

The Atlanta JOuW0l says il has
| called the attention Of the Georgia
farmers to the necessity for good
roads, and, in season and out, has
ulged the wisdom of paying greater at
tention to this most important matter.
But here is point brought out by
Col. n. w. Machcu, superintendent of
| the United States free delivery system,
that will appeal to every farmer who
appreciates the rural mail delivery. 1t
is fully explained in an article in The
Louisville Post which says
The policy Of the posLollicc depart
ment with regard to thc establishment
of the service has charged. AT first
rural free delivery was an experiment,
and the restrictions were not rcgal dcd
as in place. But the system has
passed to the permanent stage. Now
no route will be put in pending the
improvement of the roads. No route
will be permitted to open until all the
roads upon the route are in good con-
dition. Tie mail carrier is not now
forced to make his way through mud
hub deep and almost impossible, as in
some cases duliDg former winters and
wet seasons. The policy of the depart.
mcnt is to see that the roads are good
before free delivery of mail is granted
to any community.
The policy Of the department, more
than that, is to see that those routes
now i'll operation, pending improve
Inents of roads by landowners, are not
neglected by those who arc pledged
ItI1 lHi hDtt 10
that roads remain unlmproved rea-
sonable time, the rural carrier will be
called off the route, and the daily mail
service will be abandoned on the
neglected roads.
The officers IN charge of the rural
free delivery system are as much in
tcrested in good roads as is the good
roads bureau of the agricultural depart
mcnt at Washington. Good roads arc
a necessity whcle the rural carrier
must pass. If a county docs not
possess good roads, that county Will il.
future have a hard time securin.

A MESSAGE.
Senator Hoar Talks OF Liberty at n
New England Society Banquet.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-In peaking to-
night at the twenty-second annual dinner
of the New England Society in the city of
Brooklyn, Senator George F. Hoar, Of
Massachusetts,. who was the guest of honor,
said:
There was a wireless telegraphy that
came down across the ages from the man
of the MayflOwer, and came from the men
OF the Mayfiower to the men Of the Revo-
luton, and came from the men of the
Revolution TO our splendid youth in 1861.
1t is not everywhere on earth that the re-
ceiving stations of these signals are yet to
be found. Possibly there is a spot in South
Africa to-day where a race of Dutch farm
ers have been able to comprehend the mes
sage. L trust there are some men still left
in the United States who have ears TO hear.

Ii Is Said to Have Unexpectedly As
sumed n More Serious Aspect.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 21.-It appeared
this evening that the Chilean Incident
as the trouble between Argentina and Chile
is referred to here, has unexpectedly as
sumed a more serious aspect. The Tribune,
the official organ of the government, adj
mits that the Ultima Esperanza question,
instead Of approaching a settlement, is
becoming graver and that the Chilean gov
eminent is now in danger Of allowing itself
10 be Influenced by a group Of doctrinaires.
The feeling here is no longer optimistic.
IL is asserted that if Chile does not change
her e~xacting attitude to-day a rupture be-
tween the two countries will occur.
Senior Po-teIa, the Argentine minister to
Chile. and Senior Yanez. the Chilean min
lister Of foreign affairs, had another con-
ference to-day. DIR. Alcorta, the Argentine
minister Of foreign affairs, presented TO
President Roca last night another telegram
from Senior POrtela. DR.. AlcOrta then had
a long conference with General Mltre. pres
ident OF the boundary commission and for
mer President of Argentina.
IL is said that Senior Concha Suberca-
seaux. the Chilean minister here, has
placed before President Roca a project for
a new protocol. which includes withdraw
ing the Argentine and Chilean officials from
the territory in dispute.
According to the local news agency, the
adoption of the following plan, said to be
OF Chilean origin. as a solution OF the Ar
gentine-Chilean problem is being much dis
cussed:
"First-The acceptance of the clause in
the note concerning the roads in the dis
puted territory.
'second-To submit to arbitration the
document relating to the Ultama Esperanza
claim.
"Third-To submit to arbitration any di-
vergeEce Of opinion which may arise in the
future.
"Fourth-An agreement 10 limit the
ornaments OF the two countries"
IL has been decided to establish a large
factory near Rosario for the making of
bullets and cannon balls. The principal
machinery necessary has already been pur-

A dispatch from Santiago says the con-
ference between Senior Yanez. the Chilean
foreign minister, and Senior Portel, the Ar

adjourned on Monday.
IL was learned tonight that after having
exhausted the friendly feeling shown by the
Argentine government In It's efforts TO ar

question OF roads. Chile has injected new
features into the difficulty, taking the posi-
ton that the Argentine government has
abandoned possession OF the dependent ter

government has obliged that government
to recall its minister in Chile. Negotiations
are suspended. Despite the delicate situa-

Order by Texas Railroad Commission
ers that Interferes with Mails.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 21.-The Texas Rail-
road Commission has extended the time
until Jan. p. 1902, in which Texas railroads
must comply with the commissioners or
ders requiring all State lines to ignore
their stateline connections and operate
trains from starting and junction points
on schedule time. 1t is claimed that this
order. if enforced, will in many cases lay
out Eastern mail and passengers at several
stateline points from eight to ten hours in
the event that connections are over thirty
minutes late. 1t will also require rail-
roads to keep a reserve train and crew at
all connecting points 20 be used in case of
delayed connections.
Two of the roads are threatening to seek
federal interference TO force the commits
sioners to abolish their order, claiming that
the order is unjust and is an interference
with interstate and an unneces-
sary delay and also an interference with
the handling of the United States mail.

jury in the Doyle-Burns mining suit, in
which James Doyle asks for a million dol
lars in stock and dividends Of the Portland

James Doyle entered into a contract Feb.
