MORE RURAL ROUTES.
Mail Delivery Service in the Country
to BE Doubled This Year.

Mail Delivery Service I'm the Country
to BE Doubled This Year.
Congress appropriated $12,5O0.OO0 for
the rural delivery service during the next
fiscal year, beginning July /, and the
department will establish $1,000 new
routes on the money. On the 18th Of
March there were 14,O95 routes already
in operation, and by the list Of July this
number will be increased by the natural
growth of the service to $4,000 routes
Thus it is expected by the end Of the
next fiscal year, which will be June so,
1904, to have 10000 rural carriers in mo-
ton, and 100000 people living out
eide of towns and cities will have their
letters and newspapers delivered daily
ut their doors.
The officials of the Postofiicc Depart
ment boast frequently concerning the
character and efficiency of the great
army of carriers employed in the rural
delivery service, who, they contend, are
the true, typical citizens of the Ameri-
can republic, the backbone Of the nation,
and all that sort of thing, and have OK
hibited remarkable intelligence, capacity
and fidelity, performing their duties UNI
der the most trying circumstances. Dur
ing the last year out of force OF l4O9o
carriers, only thirty seven were remoV-
ed, and of this number only six were
guilty of criminal violation of the postal
laws and regulations. The total sepAra-
lions from the service were less than
one-half of per cent of the force, rec
ord which cxccls that of any other branch
of the postal service.
From the beginning of the rural deliv-
cry service the department has had lit
tie trouble in securing suitable carriers,
although the salary is very small All
carriers are now selected by competitive
examination, and the applications aver
age four for each route. In q number OF
cases more than thirty applications have
been filed.
The rural delivery service, with H.
O05 routes now covers more than oOo,
| 600 square miles, or nearly one-th'rd
of the available territory of the United
States. 1t will require the employment
of $1,000 carriers in addition to those
now in the service to complete the eX-
tension through the entire country, at
nh annual cost of about $21 ,0OO,OOO.

air method, all dust and the disease
germs which it contains are sucked
