NUMBER 40 D

Homer A. Elwell, chief clerk of the
railway mail service In this district.
will make il possible for an answer
TO be received the same day to letter
mailed in Spokane, Occur d'AIene
or any Of the points en- route.
New postoffices wiIl be created. IT
IL expected, at Greenacres and
Spokane Bridge. Valley View addi
tion, the settlement being built IN
adjacent to Greenacres as the terminus
Of the Liberty lake irrigation system,
will be served by the Greenacres post
Office. II is also proposed to install
a rural free delivery route from
Greenacres postoft1ce north and south
to the farms in the valley, side can
yoDs and hills.
Spokane Bridge is now served a.
part Of rural free delivery route
originating at Moab postof1lce to the
north. With the superior mail
facilities made possible by the new
electric road, Spokane Bridge would
be made the postoff1ce whence this
route would originate. The Liberty
lake country, made tributary to the
new road, would be reached by the
main route as proposed. Post Falls,
with Greenacres and Spokane Bridge,
would have the advantage of the two
deliveries Of mail each way daily.
Following Is the mail schedule pro-
posed for the new road:
EAstbound, leave Spokane 8 a. m,
after arrival Of principal eastern and
western mails, arriving in Occur d.
Alene at $3.50 a. m; leave Spokane
4 p. m, arriving in Occur d'Alene
at $50 p. M.
WestbOuDd, leave Occur d'Alene at
8 a. m. and 6p. M, arriving Sopkane
at 9 80 a. m. and 80 p. m, respect
lively.
With artificial irrigation making
the Spokane valley gravel highly pro-
ductive, and with natural subirriea-
tion, together with the rainfall, max
ing the fine loan of hillside and up
land prairie already exceedingly pro-
ductive, the valley would become
thickly settled. No county on the
coast side Of the Cascade range is SO
thickly settled in the rural districts
near the larger cities for the reason
the agricultural and orchard posi-
bilities are not nearly so great. That
is the reason why the rural delivery
routes are not only the large {, but
most numerous Of those Of any section
Of the state.

LET FOR WATER WORKS.
Plants to he conpIeted by FIRST of the
Year.

Plants to he Completed by FIrst Of the
Year.
The Consumers Company has let
the contract for its pumping station
and for the ditching and laying of
mains for the new water system.
The pumping station is to be of brick
and stone and will be so feet in
length 10y 40 in breadth. Alexander
Main was the successful bidder for
this work and he is to have the
foundations for the machinery COM
pleted by the last of next week The
machinery will then be installed aud
covered over by a temporary shed
until the building is completed.
This will be done 50 that the laying
of the mains can proceed without
delay and the pipe be tested by water
pressure before it is covered with
dirt. This plan will also enable
the company to furnish water sooner
than if compelled to wait for the
completion of the reservoir and pump
ing station.
The contract for the bitches and
the laying of the mains was let to
A. Minnick, who has sublet sections
of the work TO others. There will be
over six miles OF manis with no dead
ends except out in some of the addi-
tions where extensions will soon be
necessary aud these will he connected
by laterals as soon as it becomes
necessary to do so.
The contracts call for the compile
tion of the work by the first of the
year AMI the company expects to be
furnishing water before that time.
Pipe and fittings are now arriving by
the carload and the machinery will
be here next week
