NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Congressman Marshall Suggests Meth.
Cd Of Establishing More Rural
Free Delivery Routes In
North Dakota.

Congressman Marshall is trying to
get ahead of Mr. Bristow, the fourth
assistant to Postmaster General Payne.
The ruling of the department that no
free rural route would be established
unless serving at least 100 families,
etfectually tied up sixty or seventy Pc
titions duly presented to the depart
ment through the congressman. Some
time ago he wrote Mr.. Bristow sug-
costing that in cases where two routes
were asked for, and neither having the
required number of families, an every
other-day service be provided over
each. the same carrier to carry the
mails on both routes. Mr.. Bristow
acknowledged the receipt of the letter
and stated that the suggestion was OF
so much Importance that it had been
referred to the postmaster general him.
self. Nothing has yet been heard from
the latter, sSlt when the opportunity
presents itself the matter will be
pressed by Mr.. Marcha!l and it is be-
lieved with fair prospect Of success.
The service suggested by Mr.. Mar
shall would be sort of star route
service and more persons would be
benefited by it than under the 100
family plan. Every route would have
from fifty to seventy-fye Families and
as the country settles UP taa list would
steadily grow The formers would be
satisfied. for they would get their mail
every other day and have it brought
to their doors. and. besides. there
would be the certainty that in short
time. by reason of new immigration
and settlement, their routes would
soon have 100 families for patrons and
that q daily service would then in all
probability be established. Before this
point was reached there would be no
revenue for the government. and the
law would be doing just what it was
devised to do, serving the largest num-
Der of patrons at the minimum of ex
pense.
