TO FIGHT COUNTY DIVISION
Citizens Of Nezperce Prairie Organize to Fight
County Oivision-One Meeting Held and
Another Called.

Nezprce, Dec. 2-(SpeciaN-Th citi
zens Of Nezperce prairie are organizing
to fight county division as proposed by
the southern end of Shoshone county. A
mass meeting was held at N,zperce Sat
irday night and some fifty o, the repre-.
sentative citizeus OF the prairie met 10
discuss ways and means to defeat the
county division bill if it comes up as pro-
posed by the representatives Of Shoshone
county. The people here are primarily
opposed to any county division bill that
will segregate Nez Perce county aud they
will organize to defeat any measure in
troduced for that purpose. In making
this fight they have the support Of the
l'otlatch section which was included in
the county division bill made at the last
session in the creation of Clearwater
county. One Of the lines that is pro-
posed for defeating the measure is to
frame the bill with county lines more
comprehensive than the lines of old
Clearwater county cutting off a larger
portion Of Neg Perce and section Of
Idaho. and making large county. The
idea prevails here that county division is
only a scheme on the part Of residents
and townsite owners in Oro6no to create
a county 50 cut out that Oro6no will be
the only available site for the county
seat Failing to defeat the main bill
creating the new county, Nezperce
prairie and the Pollatch will then Join
hands to frame a bill that will include
old Clearwater C unity as base with the
extreme western limit extended due
south to included southern Neg Perce and
the Green Greek section Of Idaho county.
Green Creek is directly tributary to Nez-
perce and county created with such
lines would have to look to Nezperce ~ a
county seat and Oro6no would not sup.
port such measure. Nezperce citixens
will seek to defeat the bill along these
lines. Another meeting is called for Sat.
urday night to complete the organization
for fight.
Another phase Of the question arises in
the proposal to annex the southern part
Of Shoshone county to Nezperce until
such time as development in that Sec
tion shall be great enough to allow the
creation of new county wholly within
the borders of southern Shoshone. Two
years ago the ight between Oro6mo and
Nesperce grew very bitter and there seems
a likelihood Of q renewal Of old hostiii.

OUR FREE RURAL DELIVERY
Some Interesting Facts Concerning t-Nez
Pssce County Enjoys a Few Miles Of the

Perce County Enjoys a Few Miles Of tn.
Route.
Every year the postal department adds
some feature to the convenience of the
public and at no time impairs the service
nor makes less popular. Even in this re-
mote section. since the establishment of
the free rural delivery the government
has extended service. Eventually the
government will extend the branch of
the service to reach every home in the
land-until the farmer and miner in the
wilds Of the hills shall have his mail laid
at his door, just as the banker and la
borer in the city has tor years had his
mail delivered.
One of the most interesting govern
fnent documents lately published is the
annual report of the general superintend.
ent OF the free delivery system Of the
postoffice department. The remarkable
feature of the report is the exposition of
the results of extending the delivery
system to rural districts. The amount
appropriated for this purpose, which in
1893 was only $50. 900, has been increased
in the current fiscal year to 81 600, 600
During the interval the number of rural
delivery routes has been expanded from
I48 to 1850. The area coverd by rural
delivery carriers now comprehends 3oo..
600 square miles, and contains J, ,ooo. 900
Inhabitants The whole area to which
the postoffice department intends ulti-
rnately to give rural delivery embraces
million square miles. and the cost of such
service is computed at $24 100000. From
that cost, however. must be deducted the
additional revenue. How considerable
an income may be counted upon from
this source will be evident when we point
out that last year, while the increase o.
receipts in the rural regions generally
was only "a per cent. there was, on the
other hand, in those sections which en-
joyed full rural delivery service, an in.
crease of receipts amounting to Iop per
SSuIs ANSItuCI 10 Tue AuCOulC uCIIvdOIG
from the sale Of money orders and the
registration of letters by rural delivery
carriers to be overlooked. Last year
nearly IIs.too letters and packages were
registered by carriers in isolated farming
communities. In view Of these 6xures,
1t is certain not only that rural deliveries
render a material service 10 farmers, Of
which hitherto they have been deprived
but also that such deliveries tend to be
come self supporting Last year, al
though the rural deliveries had been in
operation on continually increasing scale
since 1898. the pnstal deficit had shrunk
from $II ,ooo. 600 IN 1897 to little over
81 ,ooo,o o. II is calculated that no fewer
than 2n.o9o, 600 inhabitants Of the United
States are interested in the extension OF
free deliveries to the rura' districts.
