them an opportunity.
Mrs. L. G. Thomas is visiting in FL
lensburg this week with her daughter,

RURAL DELIVERY PATRONS
EXPECTED TO WORK FOR GOOD RAoDS.
Post. Office Department Says Routes May Be
Abolished on Account of Bad Roads.

Postmaster O. Human has just re-
ceived the following circular letter
from the governme Mt postoflice depart
ment at Washington, ID. c.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Il, 1902.
To Patrons of the Rural Free Delivery.
l. The department looks to the
patrons of the rural free delivery serv-
ice, who are receiving the benefits of
the service, to nse their utmost endeav-
ors and also to exert their influence
with road supervisors, or with those
officials who are responsible for the
condition of the highways, to the end
that the roads travelled by rural carri-
ers may be always kept open and in
passable shape that the service can be
regularly and punctually performed.
.. Should the regularity of the serv-
ice be needlessly destroyed as the re-
suit of inattention and lack of care be-
slowed on the highways, the perman-
ent withdrawal of the delivery will
very likely result.
3 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 imperilng their lives or
endangering their conveyances or the
U. S. mail which is in their custody.
1. Patrons should clear away the
snow drifts so that carriers can drive
up to and reach boxes from their
vehicles without dismounting.
5. It is not part of the carriers
duty to break out the roads after a
severe snow storm.
6. Rural carriers are expected to
energetically try to serve their routes
even though the condition. may be ex'
tremely adverse, and any undue lack OF
zeal on their part should be promptly
brought to the attention of this office
for such action as the merits of the case
require. Respectfully,
A. w. MACHEN,
General Superintendent.

EARLY HISTORY OF CLEELUM
As PORTRAYED AY THE, CLEELUM ECHO
From a Pioneer Camp in 1883 to Little City
Of Several Hendred in 1908.

Situated in the CENTER as to north
and south, and twenty miles from the
western boundary of Kittitas county,
(which follows the peaks of the Cas-
cade mountains,) on the main line of
the Northern Pacific railway, in a
beautiful valley traversed by the Yaki-
ma river which bounds the town on the
south, is located the pretty and promis-
ing town of CleElum.
The name is of Indian origin, and if
spelled as sounding when spoken by an
Indian, would be Tle-el-lum, meaning
swift water.
The TOWNSHIP is on perfectly level
strip of land, about three-quarters of a
mile wide from foothills to the river and
from four to five miles long. The soil
is sandy and of such a character as to
retain but little moisture, thus insuring
good streets at all seasons.
The surrounding hills are covered
with luxuriant growth of verdure and
and large pine and fir timber, and are
known to be rich in this precious metals
as we'll as iron and copper. The valley
from four miles west OF the city of Ros-
lyn and six miles east of Gle Elum-a
distance Of u miles-is underlayed with
immense coal veins which prospecting
has demonstrated are, practically, mex
haustable.
The first settlement in this township
was made by Thomas L. Gamble, the
present and first mayor of Gle Elum, in
April, 1888 On June 1st, of the same
year, Walter J. Reed settled and laid
out the town of Gle Elum on his claim,
in July, 1856, and built what is still
known as the Heed House, at the cor
ner of Railroad street and Pennsylvania
avenue. The Northen Pacific had just
established it's right-of-way and was
grading for road bed.
About the same time of 1886, Thomas
Johnson, who still resides here, built
saw mill and manufactured lumber for
the railroad which was used for bridge
and trestle work. About all the tim
Der in the Columbia river bridge, at
Pasco. was cut by Mr.. johnson and
taken there by construction crews. Mr..
johnson moved his mill to the Sound in
1889, and the towns growth was slow
until the North Western improvement
Company obtained control of the coal
fields and commenced operations.
The deposits Of coal were known long
before any attempt at mining was I'M
dertaken. In 1895, Oscar James, Ike
Davis and partners sunk shaft on Mr..
Candles claim, which he plated some
time previous as an addition to the town
OF CleElum. Mr.. B. F. Bush, present
manager of the Northwestern Improve
ment Co., purchased the lease from Mr..
Gamble in 1890 and commenced opera
tions on a large scale as well as to open
up other locations. From this date
about three years ago, the town COM
menced to grow steadily, property rap
idly enhanced in value, buildings OF
substantial character took the place OF
temporary abiding places, until now we
have town of approximately 2,OOOpeo-
pie with every reason to expect 1000
