Rural Delivery
Mail Routes.

It is announced by the postoffice
department that there is no inten-
ton Of reducing the number Of
rural free delivery routes in the
west. A report got abroad that
routes on which there were less
than 100 families would be Topped
off. To correct that the depart
ment sends out the assurance that
no routes will be discontinued un-
less in cases where the service is
glaringly disproportionate to the
people served.
In putting on new routes, how
ever, preference will be given to
those where there are many famil-
les. Those having less than 100
families will be passed over until
others having more than that shall
have been supplied.
The statement that routes with
less than 100 families would be
dropped was surprising, and it is a
satisfaction to learn that it was
without foundation. There are no
doubt many routes in the west
that do not measure up to that
standard, but they have been es-
tablished, the people have learned
to rely upon the service, and it
| would work hardship to discon-
tinue it.
1t has come to be the expecta-
ton Of the public that this service
will eventually be established
wherever there is a reading popu-
lation justifying it. While it can
not cover sparsely settled sections
there will be very few settled local
| tiles in the country where it vii
not be found established after ;
few more years. The government
cannot be expected to put on
carrier where there are only few
people to be Accommodated, but il
the end the service will go to al
| localities where there shall be
reasonable number of people VIII
would appreciate it and be bene
| fitted by it.-Statesman.

heard from to-day. The former denied
that he had Eyer profted by any tram

Plat was asked about the effect Of
the work of the Republican Legislature
he said: "oh! what's the use of churn-
ing over the water that has already
gone over the damn"
The Senator smilingly added, however.
that he and Gov. odell were still the
best Of friends-but that Is no new
story he said. When asked what he
had to say regarding the o~ft-repeated
report that Gov. odell was engaged In
r~eorganizing the local Republican ma
tchine for the purpose OF freezing out
the Senator. Mr.. Plat said. sarcastic
cally: Again! When in the world are
these stories going to stop? Don't every
one with common sense know that the
Governor and I are all right? That we
are close and dear friends? Bosh!"
And tine Senator evidenced his disgust
plainly.
Leader Murphy had this to add to the
dock story: Its q revamp of last
years yarn. II any n wants TO know
all about dock matters there are the rec
ords at the Dock Department. and they
speak in%telligently at least. I wish to
present my compliments to Mayor Low.
