Pretty much the same reports are
to be heard form the southwestern
part OF Custer and the southern and
southeastern parts OF Rosebud coun-

herds are in the last named county,
and close to the Custer line, is quoted
as saying that between the ravages
of the grasshoppers and the continued
dry weather of the summer the out

gloomy as it well can be. He said
that unless he was greatly mistaken
the losses during the coming winter
would be so great as to threaten some

Government t Annoyed by House
of Delegates Holding Up Nee
essary Legislation.
COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE.
Contractors Ready to Begin Work
and Only Have Until July 1
to Complete Job-Delays
Depot Plans.

Advices were received at the Federal
building yesterday to the effect that unless
the House Of Delegates enacts the necessary
legislation without further delay the Gov
ernments contract to furnish St Louis with
a pneumatic-tube service to handle the mall
from the relay station at East St Louis
may be revoked.
If the contract should be revoked the ap-
preparation made by the Post Office De-
partment for tube service would be given
to another city.
The City Council passed the bill two
months ago granting the contractors rights
TO lay tubes under certain streets between
Union Station and the Termina, Associa-
tons tunnel. and to the Post Once
The bill Is held up by the Public I'm
provement Committee Of the House Of Del
egates.
Postmaster Baumhoff admitted that the
delay is annoying the authorities at Wash
ington.
The contract for the tube service was let
several months ago to the st. Louis Pneu-
matte Tube Company, and the system is
to be installed by July !.
On account Of the action Of the House Of
Delegates. however, the contractors have
not ordered the tubing, and the rush Of or
ders row experienced by manufacturers Of
such products makes it imperative that .
subcontrsct for the tubing be placed i'm
mediately, II II is to be secured and laid
before the expiration Of the time limit set
by the Government n-.-
All other preparations have been COM
pleted by the contractors. the Terminal
Railroad Association. which now receives
about $4,000 year for handling mail from
East st. Louis. having agreed to tho laying
of the tubes in the tunnel and across Eads
bridge.
FEAR MERCHANDISE FEATURE.
The proposed tube service Is In a meas
ure connected with the mall depot to be
built in Union Station, and the delay in
the House Of Delegates is causing the depot
plans to be held back.
According to the plans, the two eight
inch pneumatic tubes through which mail
matter will be shot between East 81. Louis
and Union Station and the St. Louis Post
Office will run into the new postal depot.
Terminal Association officials are waiting
to see what the House Of Delegates Is 70.
ing to dc with the bill before commencing
construction Of the depot.
Andrew Gazzolo, Jr.. chairman of the
House committee which II holding up the
bill. states that some of the committeeman
fear that the contract which the Govern.
ment let may leave tho contractors q right
to use the tube service for handling mer-
chandise as well as mail. In which event
the franchise would be valuable.

Bishop Sebastian C. Messmer Of Green

confirm this.
Bishop Messmer is popular with Rome. Il
will be remembered that he was considered

been said that the appointment was not
extended because he did not wish 1t.
