 RESERVOIR APPLICANTS. - The business of subscribing to the plan of the water storage conference commit tee is not going on as rapidly as the interest in the reservoir would warrant. About 1S,000 acres have been subscrib- ed. Most of the owners of land are waiting for the committees appointed at the meeting of the water storage conference committee to wait upon them, so that they do not bother to go to the board of trade rooms where the subscription book is kept. The excite ment of the political campaign is also temporarily interfering with the busi- ness of signing.

 LONG IN THE SERVICE.-Mr Fred Schrader of Chicago, who has been here for some time, left on this morn ing's train for home. He came here SO rapidly that he has decided to leave him here during the winter, and re- turn to his own duties, which are those of a letter carrier in Chicago. MT. Schrader is an old veteran of the civil war and probably holds the record as a letter carrier for service in one dis trict. His district embraces about eight blocks on Michigan and Grand avenues in Chicago, and for twenty two years he has guarded the interests cf postal patrons Tn that section of the city. Boys and girls have been born, grown up, married and have children of their own since he went cn duty. and he is still engaged in the good work. He knows everybody in that district, for which he Is a walking directory. If a face is missing he proceeds to find out what's the matter, and if a new resident appears Schrader is not long getting him on tlie list. While Mir Schrader did not say so. it is probable that he knows mere about the business of more people in that locality than cny other one man.
