Free Rural .Deiiysry.

Charles Hedges, of Washington, d.
c., assistant superintendent of rural
free delivery, addressed the annual
convention OF Missouri Postmasters'
association and in the course OF his
remarks gave assurances that rural
free delivery as an adjunct to the
postal service of the United States has
come to stay. 1t is no longer an ex-
pertinent, said he. The practical ben
fits of the system have been SO we'll
demonstrated, that it will be- extended
and will become not only q permanent,
but one of the most important features
of the postal service.
Mr.. Hodges also predicted that in
carrying out the idea of rural free de-
livery it would open the way for the
establishment of three other great pro-
jects connected with the postal service.
These are the postal telegraph, parcel
post and postal savings bank.
with rural delivery established"
said he, "the postal telegraph, the
parcels post and the postal savings
bank will be drawn in"
OF the practical benefits that are
derived from rural delivery, Mr.. He'd.
ges said:
1T is the great lever that brings the
people of the country and those in the
city into closer touch with each other.
1t brings the farmer up to date. 1t
gives him good roads. 1t gives him
the market reports, the weather pre-
dictions, and helps his intellectual
advancement by giving him the daily
newspapers. A civilizing effect fol-
lows the establishment of the new
service by the government. It is the
means of keeping the farmers boy and
girl at home and contented by giving
them the newspapers and magazines
and knowledge of metropolitan life
that satisfies them.
"It costs at present 81 head to
maintain rural route. Where there
are 500 persons on route it costs the
government $500 a year for the first
year. After the route is established
the cost diminishes. But no matter
what the cost. the benefits justify it.
1t has been designated as an expert
mental or temporary service, but it
can be seen now in congress that it
has come to stay. In the next few
years you will see It engrafted in the
statutes as a fixed institution
Thomas Howard, special agent of
the rural free delivery service, said
that nearly every route he established
knocked out contract route, and has
resulted in a saving to the govern
ment.

In a Bad Way,

The city of Redfield, SD, is quaran-
tined because of the smallpox and no
one Is allowed to enter or leave. Rail.
way crews remain in cars and no trains
stop except to take orders. Il. P.
Packard, who is in Chicago, shut out
from his home at Redfield because of
the quarantine, said to a Tribune re-
porter, sThere are sixteen families
quarantined, one of which lie my own,
three children being affected with the
disease. The president of the state
board of health has been sent to ex-
anime cases. No farmers can enter
the town and no mail is sent out. {"
Redfeld is the county seat, of Sphinx
county and is one of the best business
towns in that part Of the state Chi
.cago Tribune.
This is the town In which Miss Mary
How was teaching. She took occasion
to leave upon the FIRST appearance Of
the disease there-before it became
epidemic.

IF tho Iouiclat,lra ShalI adiour

If the legislature shall adjourn
without adjusting the matter of the
oil inspection, putting it upon a
reasonable salary and turning the
tremendous fee account into the
state treasury, it will cost the re-
publican party a large block of
much-needed votes at the next
state election. The party cannot
afford to use the state machinery
for collecting money even from
such an offensive trust as is the
Standard Oil Company, and using
it for the enrichment of an individ-
ual, or the fattening of a campaign
fund.

NEW YORK LIFE
WILL. ESTABLISH A MAIN AGENCY
HERE AND MAY PUT UP AN
OFFICE BLOCK.
The Fact is a Good Indication of the
High Estimate in Which Ell Paso is
Held in the East.

The New York Life insurance COM
pany is preparing to establish general
Offices in Ell Paso for western Texas.
New Mexico, Arizona and northern
Mexico and may put up a large office
building here.
G. d. Smith. the Texas representative
of the company is now in Ell Paso
making the arrangements to open the
Office and one of the vice presidents of
the company will arrive here tonight
to assist him. Just who will have
charge of the Office is not known but
it has been said that Mr.. Harkrider of
Abilene will be the head officer. He has
a splendid reputation with the COM
pany and has proved himself one of
the best solicitors in the country. hav-
ing broken the record in 1899 by
writing S253.000 in policies.
1t has been known for several weeks
that a local Office of the company
would be established but it developeS
that ii is to be of more Importance
than was at first thought. While no
definite particulars could be learned to-
day it is said that the Office here will
employ about twenty men and occupy
several rooms. 1t is also said that it
is the purpose of the company to erect
a large modern Office building in Ell
Paso The travelling representatives of
the company will work all the adloin-
ing country out of Ell Paso and more
than forty men will make this city
their headquarters.
The establishment of general officer
here by the greatest insurance company
in the country means great deal. 1t
means that capitalists realise thai this
city is the coming metropolis of a great
section of country and to cover this
properly they must be repre-
scented here. The vice president is COM
ing to learn something of the city and
country and important results are ex-
pected from his visit.
