RURAL ROUTES IN DANGER.
Postmaster Saint Threatens Carrier
Service If Roads Are Not Properly
Cleared OF Snow Drifts.

Postmaster Saint Threatens Carrier
Service If Roads Are Not Properly
Cleared OF Snow Drifts.
Postmaster John @. Saint announces
that unless the road supervisors of ru-
raj districts do not take more interest
in the conditions OF the roads some of
the rural free delivery routes out of
this city are likely to be abandoned I'M
I'll the roads become passable.
The recent heavy snowfall has made
some of the routes almost impossible,
owing to the drifting of the snow in
wind had full sway over the unpro-
tccted fields. In some points carriers
have had to get thru drifts four and
five feet deep. experiencing real hard
ships on their long drives. At many
places there were no paths shoveled
from the road to the mail boxes, and
in many instances difficulty was ex-
perienced in reaching the boxes, so
deep was the snow. AS the farmer is
compelled by the government ruling on
rural delivery routes to provide easy
access to the boxes, the carriers are not
compelled to leave mail unless this is
done. Only the willingness to oblige
the patrons resulted in some of the
homes in the country receiving their
mail during the past few days.
The rural mail carrier is certainly
blessing to the farming community In
the severe winter weather If he ever
is, and Postmaster Saint believes that
he should be assisted by the patrons
in every way in making his long Jour
ney over twenty five miles of snowy
road on cold day as easy as possible.

WILL ERECT MONUMENT.
clermont to Raise Shaft in Memory o.
Soldiers


Soldiers.
Clermont, Jan. 3O.-The good people
of this town are at work raising a fund
to build monument to the soldiers
who went from these parts to the civil
war. The women, as usual, are doing
the bulk of the work for this noble
cause. Already a good start has been
made. 1t is understood that ex-Gover-
nor Larrabee stands ready to give a
large sum for the final completion of
the undertaking. Some say that he will
make up the balance" required after
all the money possible has been raised.
Various designs for the monument
have been considered, but 1t is UNDER
stood that life size figure of Abraham
Lincoln has met with the most favor.
The place for the monument has also
been much discussed. 1t is said that 1t
will be placed neither in the cemetery
nor in the park where among the trees
such monument would be largely
buried. There is desire to erect the
monument where people will see 1t ev-
cry day. where they will have 1t before
their faces every day as Hawthorne's
hero had the stone face on the New
England mountain before him until 1t
became part of him. 1t is not unlikely
that the monument will be erected
either adjacent to a business street, or
at the intersection of two principal
streets, as is the case with the mon
ument to Brigham Young at Salt Lake
City, The monument will be first class
in every respect.
