The carrier is not required to collect
mail from the boxes, but there is no
objection to his doing so if it does not
interfere with his making the schedule

perly prepaid by stamps, and deliver
the same for mailing at the next post
office at which he arrives, but that no

TO SECURE SURVEYS.
Settlers Upon Public Lands Told How

A circular has been issued by Sur
veyor General Beattie in which settlers
upon unsurveyed public lands are
given directions as to how to secure
official government surveys of their
lands. Briefly, these directions are
as follows:
Petitions must be presented by bona
fide settlers upon the land in question:
each settler to file a separate petition,
and these petitions must be sworn to
before some officer with power to ad-
minister oaths, such as clerks of courts,
justices, notaries and United States
commissioners. Blank petitions and
all other necessary information may
be secured by addressing E. w. Beat
tie, surveyor general, Helena or any
United States commissioner.
When the unsurveyed area of a frac-
tiona1 township runs from one to II
sections, a proper petition from one
settler will secure a survey. From II
tiers will suffice, and three petitions
are sufficient for full township or for
"a to 80 sections. When settlers petl-
ton for the survey of a full township,
they should at the same time notify the
settlers of all other unsurveyed town
ships adjoining that they also might
request surveys. The government can
have the surveys made cheaper and
more easily where large tract is to
be handled; further, no township can
be surveyed while the plat of an adj
joining township is awaiting approval.
If certain settlers decline to sign the
petitions and a survey cannot there
fore, be obtained, Mr.. Beattie should
be notif fed of the facts and he will
give instructions how to get around
this difficulty. If settlers on unsur-
veyed lands will state their approx
mate location, Mr.. Beattie will also
mail them map of the vicinity to aid
them in stating the township and
range which they desire surveyed.

LOCAL PACKING HOUSE.
scheme for Handling Western Meat
in Western Markets.


"A Montana packing house, where
Utah and Montana meat may be
handled and preserved for the local
markets, is the scheme advocated by
a prominent Butte restaurateur, who
is working up the idea among resi-
dent dealers, but who for obvious rea-
sons wishes his name withheld for
the present, says the Inter Mountain
The recent jump in prices of beef,
caused by the manipulators of the
trust. and indirectly influencing all
other meats, has caused many to turn
to vegetable diet, and sales have
fallen off in the west almost as heavily
as in the east, where it is said 40 per
cent of the people are not eating flesh.
''1t's wonderful how many vegetar-
ians the high price of meat has made
in Butte said we'll known restau-
rant man, as he leaned over the cigar
case and casually punched 80 cents
extra out of the meal ticket he had in
his hand.
Not the least strange part of it is
that the objection is not so much be-
cause of the price as the principle of
of the thing. 1t is good deal like the
Boston tea party, you know-the prin-
ciple of the thing is what people resent.
l would not hesitate to predict that if
the meat companies keep the price up
through the summer and until the fall
range beef goes to the market half the
/ country will be vegetarian.
''Well, it is a good thing for the
vegetable man. said he, and he
punched two-bts' worth of lettuce out
of the ticket.
'People want salads and fresh fruit,
and one man who has taken to bread
! and milk diet says he does not want
anything else. Somehow, people have
found that by cutting out the meat they
can get along we'll enough without it,
and the strangest thing about it is
now don't put this in the paper, with
a mysterious whisper-''that many
have found that meat diet was in jur-
ious to them. That will put many of
the restaurants out of the business if
people quit eating meat altogether, -
said he, as he made one side of the
meal ticket look like cribbage
board.
Nv i'll you answer this pertinent
question: said the boniface, with his
head on one side, as if he had dis
covered a new planet.
How is it that the ranchers of
Montana send their beef cattle to the
eastern markets and get or 5 cents a
pound for them, and we have to get it
back from the eastern packing houses,
and after paying the freight both ways
have to pay three times the price of the
beef. 1t seems that a Montana pack
ing house would be a paying proposi-
; ton of time until the Montana packing
house would get in the game, too.
II would rather be robbed, and
leave the money at home at any rate
than be robbed and give it to the meat
| barons of Omaha and Chicago. A
4 number of other cattle centerS are adj
vocatng home packing houses, and /
we can get the scheme fairly Launched
: Il man may be able to enjoy beef
steak again without putting up the
price of house and lot. -

DeIVeF Mall AntO all BOXES
Along the Line.
A circular has been issed by w. S.
Shallenberger, second assistant post
master general, requiring carriers to
deliver mail into all boxes and hang
small bags or satchels containing mail
that may be erected along the line of
the star routes, under the following
regulations of the department.:
Any person living on or near the
route and not within the corporate
limits of any town or within 80 rods of
any post office, who desires his mail
deposited at given point on the line Of
the route by the carrier may provide
the roadside, located in such manner
as to be reached as conveniently as
practicable by the carrier without dis
mounting from the vehicle or horse,
and such person shall file with the
postmaster at the post office to which
his mail is addressed (Which shall be
one of the two post offices on the route
on either side of and next the box or
crane) a request in writing for the de-
livery of his mail to the carrier for de-
posit at the designated point, at the
risk of the addressee. The mail bag
or satchel above described, as we'll as
the box or crane, must be provided by
the person for whose use it is intended
without expense to the Department.
1t shall be the duty of the postmaster
at every such post office, upon a
written order from any person living
on or near the route, to deliver to the
mail carrier for that route any mail
matter-placing in the respective sat
che1s, where such are used, the mail
for the persons for whom such satchels
belong-with instructions as to the
proper mail box or crane at whic h
said mail matter shall be deposited;
but registered mail shall not be so de-
livered unless expressly requested by
the addressee in his written order.
No mail matter so delivered to the car
rier shall be carried past another post
Office on the route before being de-
posted into mail box or hung on a
crane or post.
The carrier on the route will be re-

chel that may be entrusted to him out

The mail carriers must be of good
character and of sufficient intelligence
to properly handle and deposit the
mail along the route.
The Department does not prescribe
particular design of box or satchel to
be used for this service, but the person
providing either should see that it is OF
such character as to afford ample pro-
lection to his mail. If there is a lock
attached to the box, a key is not to be
held by the carrier, as he is expected
to deposit the mail without the neces-
sity of unlocking the box. The box or
crane should be so located on the road,
