ne stated that the experiment
had been tried at ten important
post-ofices in various states.
These experiments seem to have
been confined to the practice of
telephoniug the A. d. T. offices
to dispatch boys to the post-office
to get special delivery letters to
be carried to the addresses.
In reference to the use of the
telephones for the delivery of
rural mail matter, the Postmaster
General reports that it is practi-
cable to use the telephone in con-
nection with the rural free deliv-
cry service, especially in those
counties or communities i'll which
the service is well established and
the telephone generally is used by
the farmers or by country stores.
Senator Willard is informed by
those who have given this sub,
ject consideration, that there is
little doubt that the practice may
become general within a few
years. In country of such large
area as Custer County, Nebraska
where there is an Independent
system of telephones reaching
out from Broken Bow and othe
railroad towns into the countr'
districts, special delivery tele
phone stamp such as that con
templated by Senator Fairbanks
resolution, would operate to TIL
advantage of many farmer
throughout the county.

Telephone Delivery Of Special Mail.
Special to the REPUBLICAN:

Special to the REPUBLICAN:
Washington, Feby. 20, '05.
Senator Millard is in receipt of
a communication from Hon. G. ].
Carlow of Columbus, Nebraska,
enclosing copy of a resolution
passed by the republican county
convention OF Platte county.
This resolution declares in favor
of proposed law to provide for
the sale by the government of
special postage stamp which when
placed upon a letter and sent
through the mails would be au-
thority for the postmaster at point
of destination to open the letter
and to transmit its contents by
means of telephone communicate
lou to the party for whom the
message may be intended. 1t
is easy to see that this is inten-
ded for the convenience of farm
ers residing in the country whoss
homes are connected with towns
by telephone wires.
Upon inquiry, Senator Willard
is advised that there is no legis-
lation pending before either house
of Congress on this subject.
Last year Senator Fairbanks in
troduced proposed amendment
appropriating twenty thousand
dollars for experimental telephone
delivery of special rural mail
matter under the direction of the
Postmaster General, but the
amendment was not acted upon
by the Senate. In February,
1903, the senate passed a reso-
luton asking the Postmaster
General to inform that body to
what extent and in what manner
the telephone is used in the coli
lection and delivery of special
delivery mail matter, and whether
in the opinion of the Postmaster
General special rural telephone
delivery of mail matter is desir-
able and feasible. In response to
that resolution the Postmaster
General, under date of March 10,
1908, made brief report in which

into an attractive pleasure ground for
the public.
There are many excellent reasons
why q park should Ibe established in
that section of town described in Mr..
Houle's resolution. the most important
is that the city is the owner of the
property and that no outlay Of cash
would be necessary for the purchase of
land. 1t is splendidly adapted to park
purposes and could be made very at
tractive without much expense.
The "City Gardens" are of no bene-
fit to the public as they now exist, but
could be made a valuable asset il trans
formed into a pleasure ground for the
people, to say nothing of the enhance
ment in value that would be given to
property in the neighborhood. Last
year the city received a rental of one
hundred dollars for the land embraced
within the boundaries of the contem-
plated park, which is a mere bagatelle
in comparison with the advantages that

tentiary park, and on down to the
springs.
The RECORD has no doubt that in the
event favorable action is taken in re-
lation to this park scheme that the
public will donate trees, flowers,
shru s and vines to ornament it in much
the same manner as the village i'm
provement societies of New England.
With plenty of shade. seats and rustic
benches the proposed park would be-
come favorite place for eIcursionists
visiting the city and most delightful
recreation ground for it's citizens.
1t is understood that the majority
of the councilmen favor the park prop
osition and are only prevented from
taking official action in the matter by
lack of money to carry it out. Any
steps that may be taken looking to the
creation of the contemplated pleasure
ground on the sit. of the City Gard
ens,' will receive the hearty concur
renee of the public.

would accrue in the Improvements en-
bodied if Mr.. Houle's resolution could
be realized.
Adjacent to the d. & r. G. railroad

ally pass over that road and would help
them form . good opinion of the city
as a place OF residence. Just across

ton. which will sometime be converted
by the state into a park. and with the
