and commencing it's expansion with
out the limitations suggested on the
score of economy by the president.
From these we find that between 10000
and 20 900 routes have been established
and that the sum required to maintain
the service on the scale now existing
and in contemplation will be about $14,-
OOO, 900 during the next fiscal year. He
suggests that the salaries of the rural
carriers be increased to $3.50 a year on
all routes of rs miles or more in length.
This would add at least 100000 more
to the estimate of expenses.
objection is taken to this proposed
increase on the sufficient grounds that
there has been little If any difficulty in
getting competent men to serve on the
present pay and that the cost of living
in the districts covered by these routes
is far less than in cities. 1t may be
we'll for the economy suggested in car
rying forward the rural free delivery
system by the president to be applied
to this point in the service. There
seems to be no good reason for increas-
ing the inevitable deficit in the post
office department by several million
dollars and at the same time limiting
the extension Of the service by adding
to the cost of the routes already estab-
lished, and that are being honestly and
cheerfully served at present salary
rates.

- Sometimes not having time to write
long letters in reply. the senators and
congressman write a brief reply, indi-
eating that they are attending to what

they are liable to catch the devil'' from
some irascible cuss who Is not salts
fled to know that his public servants
are chasing themselves all over the
national capital but who insists that
he receive a long gossipy letter also.
Inasmuch as cranks of this character
have votes, and are known to be veno-
nous with vote as well as with voice,
their public servants stand in awe of
them.
This constant increase in the growth
of Idaho may be expected to continue
right along. but not until the next
census, eight years hence, can Idaho
have another representative; and so
the public servants of Idaho may as
well bend their shoulders to the task
of increasing work from day to day
as the years go rolling on.

SALES OF UNION JACK
Spokane Capital Buys Large Interest in
Hump Claims

John Condron said yesterday that he
had bought one quarter interest In
the Union Jack group and purchased
100000 shares of Del Rio stock at
cents, said the Spokesman Review.
Mr.. Condron purchased the interest
in the Union Jack from Louis Smith
and Frank Brown. The group compris-
es six claims, about one and one quar-
ter miles east and half a mile south of
the Big Buffalo Mr.. Condron said
"A number of open cuts have shown
the Union Jack ledge to be 10 to 32 feet
wide, cutting through the entire length
of the claim. A shaft has been sunk
% feet on the foot wall, at the bottom
of which the ledge is crosscut IL feet,
showing 10 feet of ore and two feet of
tale, with no hanging wall in sight.
A parallel vein IL feet wide and so feet
to the west has been discovered.
THE values of Union Jack ores are
contained in free gold, hematite and
iron sulphides and an almost perfect
saving can be made. it is said, by
amalgamation, concentration and cyan
iding. A gravity tram 500 feet long
will bring the ore to the mill site. Three
streams on the group will furnish water
to operate forty stamps. Assays of Sc
lected samples run as high as $29S.4
Grab samples assay from 1888 to
sS03s"
Mr.. Condron bought the Del Rio
stock from Mr.. Brown. The money
from both sales will be used in devel-
oping the properties. The Del Rio joins
the Jumbo on the south.
Mother Lode treasury stock has been
on sale for several weeks. Will A.
Nichols said yesterday: IT find the

Free Rural Mail Delivery
portland oregonian.)


Perhaps the most important factor
that has been introduced into country
life In recent years is the rural free
mail delivery system. Though but a
few years have passed since it's estab-
lishment, its growth has been rapid and
it has met With the cordial indorse-
ment of the people wherever it has been
tried. Briefly, 1t has furnished con-
nection between urban and rural life
that was necessary to make ambitious
men and growing families content to
live in and develop the country. The
system received the hearty commenda-
tion of the president in his recent mess
age, as tending to make country life
more attractive by bringing the news
of the world promptly to its doors. Rea-
LIKING the temptation to overwork this
idea, however. he suggested that it
would be we'll to keep considerations
or economy in mind in the establish
ment of new routes.

STORAGE AND CONTROL OF
WATER

Irrigation Is being studied now as a
problem of vast Importance. No ques-
ton of internal improvement now be-
fore the nation is of greater magnitude
and it Is a source of qualification to
know with what seriousness the gov
eminent is considering irrigation prob
lens.
The storage and control Of flood wat
ers is one phase of the question which
is receiving careful attention, and gov
eminent engineers are doing a great
amount of topography work along these
lines. and are determining with accu-
racy the possibilities of controlling the
water supply that falls on any wa ter
shed and using it to prevent d,vasta-
ton by floods and enormous loss from
continued drouth.
Large areas of arid lands that here
tofore have not been brought under ir-
rigation because the local streams did
not carry throughout the year enough
water for the purpose, will be redeemed
when the rainfall is properly conserved
BY storage reservoirs.
Such proposition is the basis Of the
plan proposed for the lewiston Waha
irrigation project The plant will con-
sist of series of bitches and fumes
which will divert the flood waters of
several small creeks on the Craig
mountain. watershed and convey 1t into
storage basin at Lake waha where
1t win be controlled for irrigating 25, 900
acres of the bench lands lying near to
Lewiston.
The feasibility of the plan has been
passed upon favorably by two of the
last irrigation experts in the United
States and capital will soon be busy
working out the plans OF construction.
This is only one example of many
now under consideration but it shows
the possibilities of utilizing waters now
wasted in spring floods and making
them do duty In refreshing the arid
lands, bringing returns in the shape of
abundant crops and increased valua-
lions.

With Roosevelt at the head of the re-

papers see nothing but defeat. Our
strenuous president may be in his

No Grazing on Reserve.

Forest Superintendent |. b. Hanna is
informed by the honorable commission
err of the general land Office that a Pc
tition has been received through Gov
ernor Otero, asking that the residents
of precinct No. 6 of Rio Arriba county,
New Mexico, be permitted TO Craze
5000 head of sheep and 1000 head Of
goats in the Pecos river forest reserve.
The honorable secretary of the interior
has denied this application and has in
structed the commissioners Office to
advise the interested parties that their
stock will not be allowed in the forest
reserve this season. so that they
should now prepare themselves for any
possible drought later in the season. az
that will not be considered a reason for
a further consideration of that matter.
On Nov. 3, 1902, Supervisor Langen'
berg was required at once to notify the
persons allowed a temporary grazing
privilege for sheep and goats in 1902
and that no sheep and goat grazing
temporary or otherwise, would be allow
in the reserve in 1902: so that these
people cannot complain of insufficient
notice.

1t is claimed that the winds do not
blow so much nor so hard through the
prairie states as they did forty years
ago. when the country was first settled,
and proof of the fact Is offered by show
ing that the wind grist and feed mills
which were common in an early day in
many places in the west have an or
nearly all been torn down, on the ground
that the wind does not afford the pow
err to Operate them. The almost uni
verial planting out of groves around
the prairie homesteads has probably
done something to mitigate the power
and force of the winds, breaking up the
air currents, though we should hardly
thin k there had been enough change
thus made to account for the dissap-
pearance of the mills, they have given
way to other and more modern means
for doing mill work.
