Commencing yesterday, the gener-
al delivery window at the postoffice
is to be kept open daily except Sun
day from a. m. until p. m. This
change is made possible by the ar.
rival of the mail here by train at
$3.50 D. m, instead of $50 as hereto
fore. This will allow the office force
time to distribute the mail by about
5 O'Clock. and the change is one that
will be appreciated by the general
public and especially the business
houses, as they will receive their mail
two hours earlier than heretofore.
This is only one of the changes to
be made at the local Office. Arrange

TO CLEAN UP
THE STREETS
City to Cooperate With Civic Club IN
Improving Appearance Of Our
Thoroughfares.
BRICK FOR THE CROSS WALKS
Material to be Used As An Expert.
ment-To Open Up Third
Avenue.

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Monday night, May
or Pinkley presiding and Aldermen
Smith, Lane, Leach, Wilbur and Sloan
and City Attorney De Kalb being in
attendance.
To Clean Up the City.
Q. w. Belden, in behalf of the Civic
council, in which he outlined the pur-
poses of his organization He sug-
gested that one improvement that
could be made at small expense and
trouble, but which would go long
way toward keeping the streets free
from waste paper and garbage was the
placing of metal receptacles at the
street corners in the business district
SO that pedestrians might brow waste
paper, etc., into them instead of throw
ing them out into the street. He also
urged that a day be fixed for a gen.
eral cleaning up of the rubbish now
littering the streets and alleys in the
business district. Mr.. Belden's plan
met with favor and the council will
cooperate with the Civic Club in
bringing about the improvements de-
sired. A special committee will be
named by the mayor to act with the
organization. and it was formally de
cided to designate Nov. "a as clean
ing up day.
Brick for Crossings.
AS a cross walk is urgently needed
across the alley in the rear of the
Lehman store it was decided to try
brick for this purpose. The expense
will be much less than for cement
and it is claimed that the Helena Wit
rified brick have given good salts
faction. The cross walk at the place
named will be made with this mater
ial as an experiment.
City Attorney H. L. De Kalb report
ed an ordinance requiring merchant
and others to have in the alleys il

Alderman Lane, at the request {
the Ladies Club, asked that the GU
few ordinance be enforced. and thu
the bell be rung as before. The ma
shall was instructed to see that the o
dinance was enforced.

fort was made to secure the Gamble

There is still much to do. but those in

there is every reason TO believe that

HOW ORDER WITHDRAWING
PUBLIC LAND IS VIEWED

About the only good agricultural land
left open for settlement is ebmraced
in half a dozen townships on Coffee
and Arrow creek benches. The order
really withdraws over 100000 acres
in this county, and if it could be re-
scinded as to all those lands where
there is no reason TO suppose coal ex-
lists in commercial quantities it
would be satisfactory to all, no doubt.
There has been a very large number
of filings in Fergus during the past
year, but this increase is chiefly due
to the fact that settlers have learned
that crops can be produced here with
out irrigation and the lands have
been taken up in good faith for ag-
ricultural purposes
There seems to be a general senti-
ment in favor of having Senator Car
ter take the matter up without delay,
as it is realized that should this order
remain in effect for any considerable
length of time, it will greatly retard
The settlement of this section and the
development and upbuilding of the in
land empire.
Salt Lake, Nov. 15.-A federal
grand jury was impaneled here and
began it's sittings today. Rumor has
it that presentments will be made OF
evidence collected by the interstate
| commerce commission during it's re
cent investigation of Union Pacific
! coal holdings and developments in
connection with the government suit
to recover lands acquired by the Utah
Fuel company, but no official informa
ton is forthcoming. Even the names
of the witnesses subpOenaed have
not been divulged.

SANTA ROSA, CAL,
needs ASSISTANCE

Governor Psrdee of California says
that the pressing need of Santa Rosa,
which was destroyed by the recent
earthquake, at present is money.
The debris from the wreckage of
buildings must be cleared away before
business can be resumed. It'll is esti-
mated that STAT, 900 will be required
to do this work There is call for
$25 900 or $4,000 for immediate
needs. The governor says that the con
ditions at Santa Rosa are depressing,
but the townspeople were brave hearted
and had faced the calamity with
sturdy determination to recover.
The business district is in ruins,
while much of the residence portion of
the city is destroyed. A remarkable
escape from injury was that of Luther
Burbank, the famous horticultural.
His home and experimental gardens
were undisturbed. Mr.. Burbank saved
his valuable collection of Photographic
negatives. These were unbroken, al
though the other half of the gallery in
which they were stored was smashed to
splinters.

number of families who intend to
