How Patrons May Aid Faithful Car
riers.

The following bits of advice are
gathered from exchanges and are
printed to aid rural route carriers:
You will be doing your carriers
great favor if you stamp your mail
before putting same in box or use
government stamped envelopes with
return upon upper left hand corner.
This will guarantee delivery or re-
turn Of letter. If you should not
happen to have stamps or stamped
envelopes, wrap amount up in paper.
Remember that in cold weather, If
the money is put in the box loose the
carrier has to get off his gloves or
mittens to get hold Of the loose pen
nies.
Always stamp upon the upper right
hand corner.
When addressing a letter to one
who is not regular patron OF ru-
raj route postoffice, you should mark
on the envelope in whose care the let
ter or package should go.
In addressing your letters DO not
write above the middle OF the en-
velope as the address may be partly
blurred by being struck with the post
marking stamp.
In regard to boxes, help your car
rier by having good one in good
easy place to drive up to and always
have your mail ready.
If you have visitors who are ex-
pecting mail, you should give the car
rier their names.
Any mail matter deposited in box
is subject to ordinary postage rates
Packages should be well wrapped
and securely tied, and all valuable
letters and packages should be regis
tered.
The mail boxes are protected by
the government. Anyone tamperlng
with them should be reported at once
to your. postmaster.
Don't let your neighbor hitch ms
horse to your mail box post, so that
your carrier has to get out OF MS
wagon to put mail Ill.
Don't forget to clean snowdrifts
from your box.
: Don It. let your mail box post lean
half way over.
M Don't set your box OH your picket
( fence. If You do don't blame the
carrier if he hubs your fence and
tears off dozen or more pickets.
Don't put letters in the box ant

Rainy Season Is Far Of.

The condition would appear serious
as the rainy season is some time away
and water is in great demand. The
railroad could avert any real disaster
by running half dozen or dozen long
water trains to the dam at Friioles
Barrels and buckets could be placed on
fiat ears and the people supplied either
free or at a very nominal rate per gal

The officials are somewhat embarrassed
and evidently do not know just what
to do. But the fact remains that there
exists criminal negligence somewhere
and that Mr.. Taft and the President
have not been correctly advised con
cerning the true conditions.
Now, if I may be INDUCED for mo.

San Francisco, April 23.-Major II,
C. Tilden, member of Governor Par
dee's staff, one of the most prominent
members of the general relief commit
tee, was shot and instantly killed in
his automobile about 12 o'clock last
night while returning from Menlo Park
by men supposed to be members of the
citizens patrol.
Hugo Altsehul, coachman, who was
in the automobile, was cut in the face
by bullet, and another ball pierced
the seat and struck X. G.. Seaman, act
ing lieutenant of the Second company
of the signal corps, in the back.
The force of the bullet had been spent
and Seaman, who had been detailed on
special duty with Major Tilden, pick.

The shooting occurred at Twenty

men suspected Of having done the
shooting are under arrest at the police
station at Twenty-second and Mission
streets.
Major Tilden is a prominent com.
mission merchant of this city, and was
one of the foremost workers in the
general relief work. He had taken
his three children and nurse from
the Fourteen.Mile house, whore they
had been since the earthquake, to
Menlo Park, where he had summer

His autombile had been used as an
ambulance in conveying sick and
wounded TO the hospitals, and was car

In the first place, no one here can
conceive of the natives wasting much
water when il is remembered that they
have to carry it from quarter Of a

Bearing these things in mind, there is
no ground for the charge Of waste, and
a trip through the poorer sections of
the city will convince any one that the
water is being used with economy-in
fact, the economy is oft-times distress
ing.
In this connection I may mention
that all the exhausts from the principal
water main-2O inches in diameter--are
on the upper half Of the pipe. When
no water could be obtained, and the
natives were returning to their homes
with empty buckets, 1 was informed by
one of the officials in the water de

ten inches Of water in the e0-inch pipe
