any risk, have reaped large margins.
Under such circumstances it has
been found that efficient service can
not be performed. An effort was
made at the last session of Congress
to secure legislation preventing spec
ulativc bidding but without avail.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Shallenberger as
serts that he has ample authority un-
der the existing law to stamp out this
unquestionable evil, and will inaugu-
rate the change this fall in West VilN.
ginia and other states.
West Virginia has nearly 76 star
routes. Another innovation along
these star routes will be the installa-
tion of what is known as tho "Star
Route Box Delivery" in all sian
routes, whereby carriers will be re.
quired to deposit in boxes mail fol
farmers living contiguous to sait
routes.
In this way the rural constituents
in sparsely settled communities in the
State will enjoy some of the advant
ages of rural free delivery.

Interesting Notes
Railroad Life.

In order to bring an old family doc
tor to the bedside of the daughter of
one of its employees, the Mason City
and Fort Dodge Railroad recently ran
special train 130miles, with no COM
ponsation, but merely as an accomo-
dation to a faithful employe. A
daughter of Master Mechanic Gibbs is
seriously i'll in St. Louis with appen-'
dicitis. The family wished to have
the old family doctor, DR.. Wheeler,
of Mason City, at her side at very
critical juncture. Mr.. Gibbs commu-
nicated his desire to the officials of
the road at this point. The necessary
orders were Immediately given and
the wires were soon hot with orders.
The special was made up at Eagle
Grove, run to Mason City and return
ed in few hours, with DR.. Wheeler
on board. Tho life OF the little girl,
for whose safety the railroad COM
pany took SO much pains, has been
saved.

Post Office Department will soon is
sue advertisements for proposals for
carrying the mails on all star routes
in West Virginia for four years from
September, 1902.
The new contracts will be mado on
a decidedly different basis from those
of tho past. The second assistant
postmaster general, having supervi-
sion over all mail routes, announces
that beginning this year he will
stamp out the practice as far as pos
sible. He proposes to accomplish this
by making awards solely to local bid

have bid on the star routes through
out West Virginia, and by offering q

RAILWAY A CIVILIZER.

1t is scarcely necessary to point out
how the Uganda railway will COM
pletely revolutionize the western part
of Africa and the effect the iron horse
will have on the many tribes living
along the route. Sir Henry John
stone, His Majesty's Special Commits
sloner, graphically refcrsto this when
he says: '"rhe railway has taught the
negro the value of honest work; it
has saved thousands from death by
famine. To the hungry people of
East Africa, dying from the result of
three years drought, the railway has
brought food and shelter; and no sign
of the times was to me more encour-
aging than to see Masai-actual Nasal
who year ago would have scorned
any other avocation than tending cat
tie, cattle raidingand the slaughter OF
other negro tribes, working natives
on the railway line, decently clad for
the first time in their lives.
