lilies to Be Established in Future.

Rumors circulated IN the Middle West
90 the effect that the number OF rural
free delivery routes is TO be curtailed
are said by officials Of the Postofice De-
partment to be without foundation. II
has been reported that Assistant Post
master General Bristow favors the dis
continuance of all routes which do not
supply 1000 pieces Of mail each month
to 100 families.
1t is stated at the Postofice Depart
ment that there is no thought of dis
continuing routes now established IN
less # Is shown that they are unnec-
essary. but no additional routes accom-
modating less than 100 families will be
established while applications are on
file for routes which will accommodate
a larger number of patrons.
Petitions are on file for many more
large routes than can be established IN
der the last appropriation, and It is tn
likely that routes VIII be opened which
Go not serve at least 100 families.

= Extracts from Col. Woods diary pub
lished in his paper last week.
Arrived Tuesday at Franklin county
ranch in good shape and found things
as he expected, and many things that he
did not expect.
Wednesday-Went out to look over
the ranch and found abundance of fine
sagebrush and greasewood. This is a
very easy crop to farm as it comes up
without planting and does not require
cultivation.
Thursday Inspected his herd Of hop
pers and found they had multiplied ex-
ceedingly, the climate being very favor
able to them.
Friday Investigated some of the
valuable ~ alkali deposits and found
them to be in their usual fourishing
condition.
The orchard was doing fairly well.
Dried apricots, seedless raisins, canned
peaches and dried apples, are very much
in evidence. He also discovered small
but fourishing bunch Of dried prunes,
the cultivation of which he intends
to leave to his esteemed contem-
porary, Col. Boyd, of the Athena Press,
as he is authority on prunes.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by one Bottle Of Chamberlaiu's
Cough Remedy.

Cough Remedy.
"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) I actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
W. Perry, editor Of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the coughing,
spell would come on at night I would
take dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and would go to sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is sputting it very
mildly. / had no idea that it could or
would knock out the grip, simply be-
cause / had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the rem
edy caused it to not only be of less du-
ration, but the pains we're far less severe
and / had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For Sale bye. O. Osburn.
