A Tip for the Rooters.

The way to get work out of any
bah club is to encourage the players
by your presence and with your ap-
plause, and that applause should be
given the visitors lust as liberal as
to the home boys. especially if the play
made is an extra good one. People
go to see good ball playing, and there
fore good plays should be applauded.
OF course the home boys, when they
make a good play. are entitled to the
most applause. There was some
bad work done in the grand stand
last season when local players We're

occur this season. Weather permit

They prefer to take things easy, stay
up late at night and lie abeo too long
in the morning. They never can get
ahead that way. Time and conditions
may change, but the old rule remains
the same, that there is no success
without keeping everlastingly at it."

THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY
SYSTEM AND ITS GROWTH,
Something Regarding Its Character
and Appreciation in the County
of Yakima.

A couple of weeks ago the city carriers
throughout the state met in convention
in the city of Everett The postmasters
from several of the cities were also pres
ent and at the banquet made speeches
on subjects pertaining to the service.
Among others present was Postmaster
Lemon of this city, who spoke upon the
subject of The Rural Free Delivery
System" His remarks proved of inter-
est to his audience from the fact that
among those present there We're none
ject from actual observation. but realiz-
ing that with the wonderful growth OF
the system it would be but question of
a short time when the matter might be
brought more closely to them Mr..
Lemons remarks were in brief. sub
>tantially as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is with a dubious feeling that arise
to address Il body of city mail carriers
on the subject of Rural Free Delivery"
From the many beautiful expressions
that have fallen from the lips of the
different postmasters this evening in
your behalf. am satisfied that YOU will
not begrudge few remarks relative to
the rural service. l would first, how
ever, like to thank the carriers and the
people OF Everett for the royal manner
in which they have entertained us dur
ing our short visit to your city and in
behalf OF the employees in the North
Yakima office and the citizens OF North
Yakima extend to YOU most cordial
invitation to visit the great metropolis
Of Central Washington. We may not
be able to entertain you any more roy
ally than we have been entertained. We
may not spread our tables with richer
viands nor have them served by prettier
maids, nor can we show you as many
smokestacks, perhaps, but we can show

Spread Of Free Delivery System.

The rural free delivery system is
spreading in the United States at the
rate OF over 10000 routes a year Each
route is about % miles in length and
serves at least 100 families. At this
rate the pOstoffice department figures
that by July |, 1905, all available terri
tory will be covered by rural free de-
livery.
The amount of additional mail matter
which this will put into the hands OF the
people of the United States is almost
beyond comprehension. But the records
show that a single year OF rural free
delivery increases the amount an aver
age OF from 10 to IS per cent. The peo-
Pile living in the country districts COW
cred by rural routes get just that much
more mail as compared with the amount
they received when it was necessary to
60 or send to the village and get the
mail from the postotiice.
The old "fourth-class' office will soon
be wiped out. Each route takes the
place of an office, so, by 1905, between
80 900 and 10000 will have been re-
placed.
The postal appropriation bill for this
year provides for 10, 900 additional routes
to be established during the next fiscal
year. On January /, 1903, there were
l2,473 rural routes. On Jan. l OF the
year previous there were CPL. So, a
year hence, there will be approximately
% 900 rural routes in operation. A
couple of years more will see it COM
pleted so far as it is applicable, by reas-
on OF physical conditions and the dis
tribution OF population. Every month
counties are being cleaned up. In some
instances it will be necessary to re-
arrange routes, but from now on all will
be done with view to the universal
establishment of the service.
the first rural free delivery route was
established October |, 1896. Soon after
that Perry Heath became first assistant
postmaster-general, and to him more
than any one else is due the present
establishment of this very popular
means OF carrying and distributing mail
matter.

yos Il healthy, prosperous and contented
community, which takes great interest
and pleasure in their alfalfa, hops and
sunshine and appreciate the rural free
delivery service.
You will all agree with me when |
state the rural free delivery service is
past the experimental stage, but is now
an established fact and l would further
state that | believe il to be the most
appreciated service today of the postal
department, as it serves a more appreci-
ative class OF people. We have in our
city, and | suppose the same exists in
every city, business men and residents
who do not take advantage Of the
free city delivery that is furnished
and as the department expects them
to do, but you can 90 from one end to
the other Of the several different rural
routes leading out OF North Yakima and
you will find none living on or near
these routes that do not patronize
them. our valley was one Of the first
III the state to experiment with the rural
service, and it was by overcoming much
opposition and many obstacles that the
first route was established. and then
only Tor period OF three months At
the end Of that time the farmers seeing
the great advantage of il, asked that it
be continued, whereupou the govern
ment made arrangements To- run it for
one year, AT the end OF which time there
were petitions in for two additional
routes to be established, which was done.
and today We have four routes in opera
ton, covering in all over 100 miles per
day and supplying in the neighborhoud
OF 5000 people with daily mail We
hear but one complaint relative to this
service and that comes from the farmer
that il not on route, but wants to be.
There is hardly day passes but that
some one not living on route comes to
the office inquiring just what is neces-
sary for the establishment OF a rural
route. The rural free delivery system |

three different standponts, lie, moral,
| financial and intellectual, but more
especially the intellectual. Where it
once was that the farmer living out
some distance and only expecting to get
to town once week would take, per-
haps some one of the weekly county
papers today many OF those living on a
rural route are taking daily newspaper
and many different publications, and
you will notice as a rule it is the highest

them in touch with the important topics

Sites CASE
NOT over YET
Mr.. Bartlett Says TOwnSite Mat.
ter Will Be Carried
to u. s. Court

There was considerable rejoicing at
sites the other day upon receipt of
the decision of the secretary of the in
terror dismissing T. H. Bartletts APP
peal from the decision of the commits
sioner of the general land office.
1t seems however that litigation is
not yet at an end. To a reporter for
The Evening Teller Mr. Bartlett, who
was in Lewiston until this morning on
business before the local land office.
said that the case will be pushed to the
supreme court of the United States and
to that end either a writ of certiorari
will be applied for or mandamus pro-
ceedings begun in the United States
court for this district.
THE fact of the case" he continued,
ARE that Josh Rowton, Jacob Sites
and others in the latter part of the year
1900 conceived the project of establish
ing a town at the terminus of the
Clearwater branch of the Northern Pa
cific railway and to that end Mr.. Sites
made a REIMBURSEMENT of a portion of
his homestead and an endeaVor was
made to file forest - script on the
land relinquished.
2The department having had that APP
plication under consideration for over
a year finally rejected it on the ground
that such script was not applicable to
ground within an Indian reservation.
Meanwhile Chas. Sweeny had be-
come interested in the matter and fol-
lowing out the original intention or
additional scrip to be filed on the land
through myself acting as trustee for all
parties interested.
Some dissatisfaction having arisen
among parties who held under color
of title of Rowton and others. Such
persons decided to pursue another
course and to try to stablish town
site at Sites under the provision of
the United States statutes providing
for application through the probate
court, and upon taking the initiatory
steps lodged a protest in the depart
ment against the allowance of the filing
of made by myself on the ground that
the scrip was not applicable to land
already covered by a townsite.
Upon this ground the filing was re-
jected by the commissioners and as
noticed i'm your issue of Monday the
appeal was not entertained by the sec
rotary.
1T reminds me of a story told me
yesterday morning by Senator Heitfeld.
He said that after Senator Spooner had
/ been talking about three hours he was
asked by the senator from Alabama
whether he had about concluded his re-
marks. Senator Spooner replied that
| he desired TO advise the senator from
! Alabama that he would conclude his
