The retail merchants of OttumMa

big mail order houses it seems have
found that the Inauguration of this

lily explained by the fact that now the
farmers, thanks to the rural free de-
livery have the daily papers delivered
at their doors and are able to keep
in closer touch with the local mer-
chants and the bargains they have to
offer. AS proof of this is given the
statement of the proprietor of one of

Increases Circulation.
The rural free delivery has largely
increased the circulation of the daily
newspapers among the farmers and
the postoffice department has been
Informed by an authority on the live
stock market that its establishment
has been worth millions of dollars to
the raisers of live stock in the United
States. BY it's agency the farmer
has been able to follow the course of
the market from day to day in his
daily paper and has refrained from
shipping his cattle when the prices
were low, with the result that it has
steadied the market and raised it's
general level.
Farmers in Close Touch.
The effect OF the service is being
seen in many other ways. By being
brought into closer touch with the
cities and with the outside world gen
orally the farmers and their families
are going through what may be called
an educational course. They are
learning more about the comforts and
conveniences of modern civilization

REDoUBT ERUPTION DESCRIBED.


Spectacle witnessed From q Ship
Passing Near Alaskan Volcano.
Seattle. Wash, June 4.-Passengers
from Cook inlet, who have arrived by
the Chico, confirm previous rumors of
another eruption OF Redoubt volcano,
which is about forty miles northwest
of Hanna. Among them was A. c..
Losey Of Tacoma, an employee Of the
Transalaska company, who saw the
present eruption. He sailed from Iii
ANNA on the morning of May 8.
From Hanna only heavy smoke was
to be seen in the direction of Redoubt,
but the spectators knew the volcano
was in eruption again. Precipitous
mountains shut off the view until the
Chico reached twenty miles or so on
the trip up the inlet, when the show
became thrilling.
Dense black clouds covered the en-
tire region, spreading entirely over
Cook inlet. At times the smoke direct
ly over the volcano region was lighted
to dark gray, but no flames were
seen during the day, and no ashes
reached the ship, but when evening
fell bright flames flashed up and light
ed the whole sky in that direction.
The ships course out of the inlet left
the volcano directly to the westward,
at which point. Mr.. LOsey says, there
seemed continuous sheet of fire ris,
ing, probably miles high.
