BONNEVILLE SOUTHERN
 EXTENSION SOUGHT.

The Bonneville Southern has always been a timber road and like the B. & B. road, will some day be made one of the connect ing links of a great system, says the McCrory News. The exten- tion of this road can be utilized for years yet, especially and pri- marily for the development of the timber interests. By extend ing this road south on the ridge, on which the company has been extending it by degrees and by continuing same through Me- Crory, Tip, across the bayou to Hunter and then on through St. Francis county to some point on the main line of the Choctaw, would open magnificent body of timber lands. MT. Hay of Hunter informed us that that town alone would give $6,000 to have this road come through there. What the ultimate deci- Sion of this route will be, we do not know, but from timber standpoint, the suggested course would no doubt be a money coiner.

little Rock Postmaster Talks to Gazette Man and Says Farm CTS Themselves are Re-
 sponsihle for Poor
 Mail Facilities.

number of rural free delivery routes, Arkansas might be near the top if the farmers of the state would take enough interest in the matter. said Postmaster w. s. Holt of Little Rock in an interview with the Gazette.
 He said that the success of the rural free delivery service has now been established and the de- partment has ample means to extend the service, so that it is now entirely a question as to whether the farmers care enough about securing the service to make the little effort required.
 Arkansas has now only 187 rural routes established and only sixty-three applications for routes pending. A number of states already have more than 1,500 routes established and as many more applications pending. Arkansas had one of the first eX- perimental routes. This route was started out of Clarksville, October 19, 1896, hut the exten- sion of the system in this state has been slow, as compared with almost every other state in the country. Tennessee has several hundred routes and other south ern states have many more than Arkansas. Up to October 15, 1905, only ffty-seven petitions for rural routes had been filed for Arkansas. At the same time over 2,000 had been filed from Illinois over 1900 from Iowa, 632 from Texas and 473 from Vir- ginia.
 A rural route can be secured in practically any community, Post master Holt states, if the roads are passable the year round. It is only required that between 75 and 100 families live on the route and on routes twenty-five miles in length the number of families will almost always exceed that limit.
 If the farmers in any locality desire to secure a rural route, blank petitions are furnished by the postofice department and the applicants are required to secure the names of about seventy-five heads of families to this petition. This petition, after being in- dorsed by the congressman from that district or one of the sena- tors, is sent to the fourth assist ant postmaster general. An in- spector is then sent to look over the route and make a report to the department. The principal point as to whether the roads are passable, and if the inspector finds these conditions satisfac- tory, the route is generally estab- lished.
 The carriers cover the route daily, collecting and delivering mail. The carries also register letters and also take money for money orders, giving a receipt and delivering the money order the following day, or mailing it to any point desired.
 The last report of the depart ment on the rural delivery service contained a statement from a farmer in Missouri who estimated that during the fifteen years be- fore he became patron of a rural route he travelled 12,00O miles going to the postofice for his mail. It was also estimated that the aggregate time repre- ,sented by the trips of farme.s, for their mail represented sz of millions of dollars in tir 2 A year.

SOUTH DAKOTA TO GET PLUMS,

These two states have been clamor-

North Dakota will probably have to be

North Dakota has, as the nations
representative at Montreal, Maj. A. w.

the phrase, Il am willing to take
something equally good" In addition,
the state has the Melbourne consul

Forks, and the deputy authorship of
the p~ostofice department, which is
held by J.. II. Anderson. Whether or
not Mr.. Bray will remain in Australia
remains 70 be seen. He has been in
the service eight years. Mr.. Edwards
will not be disturbed, as he is an APP
pointee of President Roosevelt.
South Dakota has one consular posi-
ton, that at Beirut, held by G. Raven
dahl. 1t is not known what the ad-
ministration's intentions are toward
Mr.. Ravendahl. The South Dakota
delegation wants three consular posi-
tons and it is understood that it will
receive at least two, although no Off
cial information on the subject can
be obtained.
"How many candidates are there in
the state?" Representative Burke was
asked.

reply. 1--WE will get the places first
and then pick out the men. This is

FOR CONSIDERATION

A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.

During the early portion OF Febru-

Western States suffered severely with
the intense cold and winters storms.
Trains were delayed, cattle suffered,
and there was much general hardship.
While this was the case, throughout
Western Canada, now attracting SO
much attention, the weather was per-

no heavier outer, clothing than that
afforded by light jackets. In contrast
with this it is interesting to read in .
