TO MAKE A CHANGE.
Bidders for Star Routes Shall Live in
Vicinity Of Route.

About the middle of September the
postof11ce department will advertise
for proposals for carrying the mails on
all star routes in Nebraska, Montana,
Iowa, South Dakota. Wyoming and
all other western states, the contracts
to v a period of four years. In
the new letting of contracts the de-
partment will require that bidders
shall live on or in the vicinity of the
routes upon which they bid, thus put
ting an end to the speculative bid
ding which has prevailed in the past,
whereby the eastern contractors have
secured a majority of the western con-
tracts at low figures, depending upon
local sub-contractors to perform the
work.
The department intends to shut out
spectators, who have been in the hab-
it of sub-letting their contracts, col
lecting from the government and omit
ting to pay the men who did the de-
livering The department also be-
lieves that better service will be
rendered where the contracts are
awarded to local people.
Aside from this innovation, how
ever, all bidders will be given to un-
derstand that each contract calls for
a new system of box delivery, where
by the carriers will be required to de-
post the mail in the boxes of set
tiers living along the route, when
such settlers request such service and
erect boxes along the roadside follow
ing out the system in vogue in many
sections known as the rural mail de.
livery. 1t is expected the new con
tracts will be slightly advanced, but
the fact that local bidders will be rec
ognized over spectators, and because
of the extra service required by the
box delivery, the department makes
the extra expenditure justifiable.

WEEK..
Salvation Army People Preparing to
Observe 1t.

A remarkable illustration of the de-
velopment of the Salvation army pre-
parations is given by a glance at the
history of what is known as the self
denial effort-an annual event-which,
this year, falls on the dates from
May rs to June 1, inclusive. This
wonderfully successful and widely imi-
tated method of raising funds for
prosecuting the work of the army or
iginated 10 years ago, when, to assist
the foreign fund of the international
headquarters in London, General
Booth made an appeal ON these lines.
The sum asked for was 5000, and
$24,11O was realized. Since then
Great Britain alone has raised $780,
900 by it's self-denial effort This ter
ritory, with about one-eighth of the
population, has raised $3.50, 1881, last
years amount being $23,034.35.
This self-denial effort entails upon
Salvationists giving up not only what
money they may be able to afford to-
wards the extension of army opera
tions, but some luxury or personal in
diligence during that week, abstinence
from which will keep before their
minds the spiritual lessons of self
denial. 1t is, in fact, an annual fast,
by which not only the deyotee. but
the world at large. benefits, The
movement, however, is not confined to
Salvationists, as they with marvellous
success enlist the sympathies of those
who are by no means at one with
them in religious creed. The effort is
one which a only have a beneficial
effect on those who participate in it,
while its financial results are an i'm
