MANY ROUTES
ESTABLISHED
nianssets Mas Nearly Eight Hundred
Rural Mail Routes sAd Many
More Applications
Are ln

The following Washington CORES
pondence regarding rural mail routes
In this state is taken from the Minne-
apolis Journal and will be of interest
to our readers. The report shows
that the Seventh congressional district
fares pretty we'll in the distribution of
the service.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE records
OF the rural free delivery division of
the postoffice department. show 1,243
applications for the establishment of
rural routes in Minnesota. OF these,
76l have been reported on favorably
and routes have been established or
will be established by Feb. i. One
hundred and seventeen applications
were reported on adversely, some be-
cause there were not enough families
on the proposed routes, o hers because
the roads were not suitable for the
service, aud still others because other
conditions imposed by the department
were not complied with.
Applications for the establishment
OF 365 additional routes In Minnesota
are now on file at the department, and
It is expected that they will be dis
posed of by the special agents during
the current year, provided congress
places at the disposal of the depart
ment all the money it has asked for.
The appropriation for the current
fiscal year was S12 62l 200, but that
has been exhausted and q deficiency
appropriation will have to be made
for the establishment of new routes
between now and July l, when the
appropriation for the next fiscal wear
becomes available. Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne has asked Sl5, 785, 400 for
the rural mail service for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1905, and there
is little DOUBT that he'll get it, such is
the pressure on the congressman for
the extension Of the service.
There were 2O,3S2 rural routes IN
operation in all parts of the country
on Dec. 10, and about l,5OO ordered
esta blished between that date and Feb.
!. Minnesota, with its ?6l routes has
its proportions of this popular ser.
vice, aHd, with q continuation of the
good work by the delegation, it is
probable that within q comparatively
short time, it will be extended to all
parts of the state, where practicable
Following are tables showing the
distribution of the service in the state
by congressional districts.
