In speaking about Postmaster
General Payne's remark that the
total number of routes fairly en-
titled to be established in the en-
tire country would be $4,000, that
at the present rate Of increase this
would be reached in two years,
and that, at the end Of the fiscal
year there would be deficit OF
$40, 600 in the rural free delivery
service, the New West Trade has
this to say:
This admission OF Mr.. Payne proves
that the rural free delivery service
does not pay for itself; 1t never has.
Why then this haste to establish such
routes, when they are OF direct injur,
to the hundreds Of thousands of
country merchants in the small towns
all over the country, when they are
OF little, II any, real benefit to the
farmers, and when they do not pay
their cost Of maintenance? We can
think Of only one answer. G., the
influence Of the big eastern mail order
houses.
Continueing, the New West
Trade states that these routes are
being furthered by and for the
benefit Of the large mail order con-
Germs to the detriment and injury
of the country merchants, and that
it is the duty of the latter to op
pose the establishment of such
routes.

In six weeks the I27th an

In six weeks the I27th an
niversary Of the Declaration
of American Independence
will be at hand. The Fourth
of July is the day Of days, on
which every American citizen
should be imbued with pat
riotic fervor-not fervor which
seeks expression in hilarious
intemperance, injurious prac-
tees and barbaric noise max
ing, but that which leads us
to acquaint ourselves anew,
and acquaint others, with the
stirring times from which
came the event which we eel
citrate. By parades, patriot
ic speeches, and the display
ing of flags, we should seek
to express our appreciation Of
the priceless legacy bequeath-
ed to us by our forefathers,
for us to preserve untarnished
for posterity.
Of course Rathdrum will
celebrate this glorious day. A
few of our most enterprising
citizens have preached the
subject. Let others come to
their assistance, call a meet
ing and plan a nice celebra-
ton, in keeping with the spir-
it Of patriotism, a celebration
that will exemplify the pros
perity of the town, a celebra-
ton in which the fraternal So
cieties, the churches, the bus
iuess interests and everyone
will have a share.

artistic purposes is the new pho
tograph car just completed by

long and eight feet high, neatly
made, handsome and attractive.
Much time and money has been
spent in perfecting it, and it is as
complete a piece OF workmanship
as could be desired. The wheels
Of the car will arrive in d few days
when an opening day will be Civ
en-, with pictures taken at a dis
count. The car will then be
started upon tour OF the north

An Accident to Excursionists from State Line.

Mr.. and Mrs. Oakland and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Cable Of State Line,
while on their way home from fish
ing trip to Twin Lakes Tuesday after
noon, met with peculiar accident.
They were congratulatlng themselves
on their good luck fishing and the en-
joyable time they had had with their
friends, when suddenly the hack came
in collision with tree close by the
road. They had just reached Mr..
Libby's raLcb when one Of the bolts
that holds the tongue on the hack
dropped out, frightening the horses
and causing the hack to so sidewise
with the results that the team and
hack struck one of the trees with such
force that the neckyoke and one sim
gle-trec snapped in two and the front
seat jumped out, throwing Mr.. Oak
land in to the tree. scratching one
eye and his nose and scattering some
blood on Mr.. Cables face. Mr.. Cable
was unhurt however. Mrs. Cable and
Mrs. Oakland were thrown out vio-
lently, landing on their left shoulders
and arms hurting them quite badly,
in fact making them out Of use for a
few days at least. The manner in
which they were thrown between the
trees, it was miracle they did not
have their brains knocked out. Des-
pite the accident they intend to
make the lake another visit as soon
as they recover from the effects of
their trip. The horses were caught
near Hauser by the men working en-
the road, one harness dropped off at
the collision, the other was found
along the road by pieces. Ed Peters
took them the rest of the way home
in his rig, as theirs could not be re-
paired out OF blacksmith shop
which they will surely bring with
them the next time. (Communicaked)

How to Handle Guns.

Before getting into wagon it is |
no more than common prudence and !
foresight to remove the shells from |
ones gun. 1t is also but the task of |
a moment, says Forest and Stream.
If the horses should run away, If the
wagon should break down, If the
shooter should slip and fall IN getting
in or out, there is no possibility of
death from the discharge Of bis gun.
Ii the same precaution is observed
when crossing fence, there again can
be MOI accident'from the gun. II
one keeps ones gun pointed IN the
air or entirely away from the person
Of others, even if the gun should be
discharged when in hand, there again
could be no accident. If the gun is
placed against tree, the cartridges
being first withdrawn, and II the dog
knocks it over or lift falls down
from any cause, there can be no acct
dent.
! the shooter takes care TO know
absolutely what kind of animal is
moving, he cannot by mistake shoot
man for deer. 1t is quite as easy
to think that a deer is man as it is
to think that man is deer.
| Wait till you know definitely; then
you will not afterward have to tell
what you thought, with the added
knowledge that man. does not re-
motely look like deer and that all
regrets cannot restore life.
In short, the matter Of saccldent"
may depend on the matter of care
and foresight more than on the un-
foreseen. Think about these things
and think about them before and not
after.
