\ NEW WORD AND A CONNoIS'
SEUR.

Some fellows tongue miscarrled
and a new word was born. It is
newspaperiety., He intended to say
newspaper notoriety, but couldn't
wait, so the English vocabulary be-
came, by mere accident, substan-
TALLY enriched. We don't know
yet whether the word is going to
stick in Idaho, because we are not
informed as to the Boise Statesman's
attitude on the subject. The States
man, you should know, is con-
noisseur. You may not know what
connoisseur is. We would tell
you if we could pronounce it with
out biting our tongue. However,
the Statesman decides all those fine
questions about words and gram
mar and rhetoric and so on, and
you can't tell where a thing like
that is until the Statesman passes
upon it.
We recall that upon one occasion
an editor up in Shoshone county,
we think it was Geer, got on tear
and split an infnitive. The rest of
us didn't know what to do about it
because in journalistic common law
it is a worse crime to split in6nitives
than to split wood or play "splits"
at faro. We were all worrying
about it when the Statesman came
to our relief with pathological
thesis, in eleven chapters and a
codicil, on the infnitive, in which
it was shown quite clearly that there
were exceptions to the rule which
would warrant a Shoshone journal
; list on a tear in splitting in6nitive:
if the exercise agreed with him
. That at once established the States
man as an authority on glossologY
1t was the first high jump in thu
Statesman's career as a great jour
nal.

TWO CENTS
THE WHOLE COUNTY
To be Covered with Rural De-
livery Routes.


Every man In the County to be Reached
by Delivery Every Day- Depart
ment has Issued Orders 10 this Elect
Most of the Routes will Start From
Morgantown.
A. b. Smith of the post. Office
department is here on a short visit.
He was seen by a New DOMINION
man and talked of the object OF his
visit. He stated that, MonongAlia
county was to be completely covered
with rural routes.
L am here only for brief stay
this trip but will return to make an
important provision for the county.
Representative Dayton has succeed
ed in getting the department to
order that every part OF the county
be reached by rural carriers"
When / return which will be in
a few weeks it will be to stay until
all of the routes required shall be
worked out. As many of them as
possible Will be sent out from Nor
gantown. The western end of the
county and much of the eastern end
will be reached from the ofiice
here"
"a wagon will be sent out from
here with mail ON it for several car
riers and this will be delivered en-
route to the carriers who will not
have TO come to town in every case
to get their mail. In case you had
macadam roads in the county auto
mobiles would be used for this gen.
.eral delivery to the carriers"
when ever the county shall in
stall the kind OF system Of roads
which your paper is talking about,
then we shall be ready to put on
the automobiles which we find much
cheaper and more satisfactory than
wagons with horses"
Such arrangements have been
made in other counties and they
have been found to work like
charm every where they are tried
Some points in the county may
have to be reached from other offices
than Morgantown but as tar as pos
slble it is TO be attempted to deliver
the mail from Morgantown."
1T will take me a month or more
to lay out the routes which will be
from twenty to twenty five miles in
length. OF course cannot tell just
how many new routes there will be
but there will be several of them"
1.-THE orders are to cover the en-
tire county and this will be DONE
The service will be started some
time during the summer but just
how soon this will be cannot be
predicted"
Several other counties in the
state are to have similar service in
stalled in them. The work OF laying
out the routes has been completed in
Morgan and Berkeley counties ami
Jefferson county is also to receive q
similar service"
The appropriation for the rural
mail delivery will show how 1t 10
regarded by Congress and whether
it is success or not. When we
first started we got an appropriation
of $4,000. The appropriation at
the last session Of Congress was
$l2,800,000. The service is being
extended in every section Of the
United States"
ut has been great success in
West Virginia and every where it
has been established there Is no
chance of it ever being dlscontinu
ed"

NC pCACbUOUs
A scheme is on foot to erect

of the M. E. church. A lot in
Sunnyside is under advisement and
will probably be purchased for that
purpose. The lot owned by Nathan
We'll is one which they have been
considering. Dr.. Compton has been
representing the church in the
move.
1t is expected that dormitory
will be erected to be used fer the
girls from Methodist families who
attend the University. A need for
such an institution is keenly felt
here and it is hoped by every one
that it may be provided. There is
bound to be large increase in the
number of students from this de
nomination if the needs of those who
can come are consulted.
