Postmaster Frantz Receives Orders
to Establish the First Rural Route
Out of Kenosha on Oct. Ist.
WHOLE COUNTY TO BE SERVED.
First Route Will Take In 16O Houses In
Boxes and Keep Roads Clear.

The work Of organizing the rural
mail delivery system of Kenosha
County has been started and the post
master has been directed to open the
first route out of the city on the first of
October. This route will, it is ex-
pected, be followed by the opening of
six other routes which will furnish free
delivery for all parts of the county
The new route will be the third to be
tablished IN the county, but it will
be the first to have headquarters IN
Kenosha. The territory covered is
twentythree miles in length and is en-
tirely IN the town of Pleasant Prairie.
One hundred and sixty houses are in
Guided in the route and it will furnish
free delivery for total of 900 people
The new route will have one carrier
and he will receive salary of six hun
dred dollars year. The examina tons
for carriers have been held and the Sc
lection will be made ia a few weeks.
In this opening of the routes for ru-
raj delivery the government has SUBJ
divided the entire county into seven
routes and the people residing along
the routes will be expected.1to give the
government agents great deal of as
sistance. The erection Of mail boxes
along the road for the reception of
mail is made obligatory on all families
receiving the service.
The department has sent to the post
master a list of the approved boxes
and one of these must be set up in the
road in front of every house. The box
must be sufficiently close to the road to
allow the carrier to deposit the mail
without leaving his vehicle, and where
any Of the residents along the route
refuse to set up these boxes the govern
ment will take this as an indication
that the people do not desire the bene-
fits of the system and their names will
be left off the route list. It is expected
that the coming of the rural carriers
will do much to improve the roads of
the county, as it is one of the demands
of the department that the people in
the towns receiving the free delivery
shall keep the roads open at all times
in the year. The carrier will not be
forced to deliver mail to any portion
of the county where the roads are not
kere free from ice and snow and pass
able at all seasons of the year. The
work of the inspectors of the post
Office department has been most thor.
ough in this county, and it is the aim
of the government to give to Kenosha
County the most extensive rural mail
delivery system in the state of Wiscon-
sin. The farmers have long been
c1amoring for the benefits of free dc-
livery, and there is little doubt but
that they will freely conform with the
regulations placed by the government
for such system.

Telephone COmpany's Exchange to Be Lo-
Gated In Lentz & Funck Building.
The local manager of the Citizens
Telephone & Telegraph company has
taken another step to convince the
people Of the city that the company is
really contemplating the building of
an exchange in the city and this morn
ing a lease was taken on the large
front Office room on the third floor of
the Lentz & Funck building at the
corner of Main and Park streets.
The br:lding is located near the CEN
ter of the city and it is splendid1y sit
uated for use as telephone exchange.
The two rooms in the front of the
building will give the new company
more room than is to be found in the
present Offices of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company. The Office is the first
indication that the company means
business as the promoters have taken
no steps to build the line.

CONGRESSMAN Lands has his own
2dea Of the proper way to check the

Saave every state Legislature pass law

STRIKING proof of the benefits to be
derived by the farmers through the
1etterment of rural highways was
offered the other day at a good roads
meeting composed of the residents of
several townships IN Bucks county, in
PENNSYLVANIA. The townships rec
eords were produced to show that at the
present time the amount Of money
raised by taxation and available for
Iocal improvements is more than one
&hicd larger than it was few years
ago, although the tax rate remains the
same. This is due, of course, to an in
crease in the value of property, an in
crease which we are assured has been
brought about solely by the construc-
tion of modern highways. Townships
In Buck county which have borrowed
money to carry on the work of road
making find themselves enabled to re.
duce materially their debt annually by
reason of this enhancement of real es-
Kate values. The experience of these
Pennsylvania farmers comedies sub
stantially with that Of our rural
Griends in other parts Of the United
States. That good roads bring wealth
&here can be no question, and, as has
soeen shown, the advantages which &C
ecrue from them are enjoyed as much
10y the farmers as by other members of
che community, New York Sun.
