Postmaster o. A. Stumley was al
Brookings Monday and while there
consulted Geo. H. Chase, rural route
inspector, who is in the county max
ing maps and laying out routes with
the view of installing county service.
He informed Mr.. Stumley that this
work would keep him busy for the next
two months, and that the new service
would not be commenced until after
January LIST. In establishing county
service it is the aim Of the postoffice
department to so arrange the routes

box. The number of carriers going
out from Volga under the new system
will probably be increased four or five.
The service will certainly be a great
thing for the people of this county,

areau last Thursday night it was
agreed to accept the offer of the pro-
moters of the Brookings-Sioux Falls

their line into Flandreau from Brook

course from here. 1t may decide to
connect with Egan with a stub line or
direct, this point will be decided later.
The promoters asked'that we give
them $500 to help pay preliminary
expenses, the money to be entrusted
to a committee of Flandreau men who
will pay same over when in their opin-
ion something in railroad building is
to be done. The committee named
consists OF each of the cashiers of the
three banks of Flandreau. Messrs.
Stewart, Buck and Crane of Brookings
have gone over the ground approaching
the city and have determined the
course of survey. The Herald truly
hopes that something will be done to
give us a road, but we refuse to get
excited about the matter as ye~t.-Flan-
