WHY BOND DIFFICULTIES I?

This bond floating business seems to
be causing lot OF trouble. Strange
enough up to the present time all the
difficulty is between Territorial OFF,
Cials.
AZ the first send-on the Territory
was in a state Of nervous suspense for
fear the bonds might not prove 4
quickly saIeable commodity in the
financial market. Consequently Sec
rotary Carter was sent of to buck the
tiger, and according to his latest tclc-
gram he went to the East with a def
mite plan Of action. Since the approx
al Of the bond issue by the President
the horizon dpears to have frightened
considerably. AS far rs known SeCre-
tary Carter sees no probable revcrses
before him, a san Francisco firm asks
that its bid be awaited, local contract
ors express their Willingness to accept
bonds in payment for public work and
50 forth.
Now Secretary Carter cables a query.
He wants to know why original plans
have been changed.
What these original or later plans
may be is not known. The necessity
for more than one plan, and that to
obtain all the bids for Hawaiian bonds
! possible, is not apparent. The Bulletin
can anticipate no better outcome for
Hawaii's first territorial bond sale than
( the discovery when the bids'aro opened
that the demand is greater than the

Rural Free Delivery.

The following communication has
been received by the postmasters here
abouts, from the department at Wash
ington and is of interest to persons in
terested in rural free delivery
The department looks to the patrons
of the rural free delivery service who
are receiving the benefits of the SER
vice to use their utmost personal en-
deavors, and also to exert their infiu-
ence with the road supervisors, or
with those officials who are respons-
ible for the condition of the highways,
to the end that the roads travelled by
the rural carriers may be always kept
open and in such passable shape that
the service can be regularly and pune
tuallv performed.
Shoald the regularity of the service
be needlessly destroyed as the result
of inattention and lack of care be-
slowed on the highways, the perman-
ent withdrawal of the delivery will
very likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required
to serve their routes regularly at all
seasons of the year and in every kind
of weather when it can be done with
out seriously imperilling their con-
veyances or the United States mail
which is i'll their custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts, 50 that the carriers can drive
TO and reach boxes from their vehicles
without dismounting.
1t is not part of the carriers duty
to break out the roads after u severe
snow storm.
Rural carriers are expected to en-
ergeticalIy try to serve their routes,
even though the conditions may be
extremely adverse, aud any undue lack
of zeal on their part should promptly
be brought to the attention of this
office for such action as tho merits of
the case require.

full of guests comprising immediate

Samuel Krumm, one of the grooms,
is a school teacher, who presides over

Mr.. Roup is the owner of fine farm
in Franklin township, Columbia coun-
ty, which will be the future home of

Struck by a Switch Engine.

Miss Lettie Merrill, of Valley town
ship, who delivers milk in this city
was struck by p. S5 r. switch engine
while driving to town Saturday morn
ing and escaped terrible injury by a
very narrow margin.
As Miss Merrill approached the cross
ing just west of Mausdale the locomo-
tive loomed up in view rattling along
at a lively clip. The horse took fright
and despite the young lady's best
efforts to bring him under control and
to stop him before reaching the cross
ing he dashed on over the railroad just
az the engine reached the spot. The
horse and front wheels of the milk
wagon cleared the switcher, but one
of the hind wheels was caught and
badly broken. The vehicle, however,
did not upset and the horse was lucki-
ly at that moment caught by Gustave
Lehman, who prevented Il destructive
runaway.
Miss Merrill's father being apprised
of the accident brought a spring wag-
on down from the farm into which the
milk was transferred and from which
Miss Merrill on Saturday served her
customers.
