him. An investigation of the complaints Is
said to have developed the fact that Mum
dell has been making a practice of receiv-

ON GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.

great civil contest, and when the sun
went down on that bloodiest Of fields
where the dead and dying had fallen
by thousands, as it looked upon the
defeat of Pickett's immortal charge, 1t
also saw the beginning OF the end Of
the greatest Of modern conflicts.
And because there was no shame In
that defeat and because deeds OF en-
durance and heroism belong to each
army in equal measure, the battlefield
will remain forever the Mecca Of all
brave Americans and of every military
student Of the entire world.

Autos For Rural Delivery.

The RECOMMENDATION Of Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General DeGraw
that rural carriers be allowed to use
automobiles in serving their routes
has been approved by Postmaster Gen.
eral Cortelyou. The Postmaster Gen.
eral, however, expressly reserves the
right to require the rural carriers to
discontinue the use Of such vehicles
and resume the service of their routes
in the ordinary vehicles prescribed by
the regulations, If proof is made of I'M
satisfactory service arising from the
use of automobiles. In addition to
this, the rural carriers are required
also to maintain fixed schedule so
that the boxes for their patrons may
be served at or about the same time
each day.

age reservoir built there, not only for
the benefit of Wyoming, but for Ne
braska as well. The Secretary has set
aside $2,250,000 for the Shoshone
River, Wyoming, project and $3,3S0,0
for the Pathfinder project on North
Platte River, to be partially expended
( for the benefit of Nebraska. Thus
about 10 per cent. of the entire re-
clamation fund will be laid out in Wy
oming, although she has contributed
only about per cent. of the fund.
Scenes along the Platte and the Sho-
shone canyon are among the widest
and most picturesque in America.
Second to Wyoming comes the terri
tory Of Arizona, with the great Salt
River project at an estimated cost OF
about four million dollars, requiring
upwards of per cent. OF the entire
reclamation fund, although Arizona
has contributed less than / per cent.
1t is stated by the engineers that the
opportunities for water storage in Ari-
IONA are. next to Wyoming, the best
in the arid West, while the soil of that
territory Is not only extremely fertile
and lying at moderate altitude, but
the climate is semi-tropical and under
careful cultivation. ten or even five
acres will support family. Southern
California to-day, with a similar soil
and climate, has thousands Of pros
porous little five and ten acre farms.
The third State In order Of irrigation
benefits in Montana, which, although
1yinS far north. has a splendid water
supply and likewise rich land. Actual
construction has been begun by the
Government on the Yellowstone,
where, owing to the plentiful flow of
water, none of the embarrassing COM
plications of vested water rights ex-
fist, which have prevented work thus
far on The upper Missouri River and
on the Milk River. The funds allotted
to Montana for the Huntley, Lower,
Yellowstone and Milk River projects
amount to over three million dollars,
or nearly nine per cent. Of the fund,
which is in excess of the amount con-
tributed by Montana.
r The fourth State in order of benefits
Is Nevada, contributing the least
money to the fund but probably most
needing the benefits. 1t was, in fact,
through the dire wants of this State
that the law received its inception, be-
ing first known as the Newlands bill,
this unique plan of automatic appro-
priation being originated and intro
duced by Senator Newlands, then a
Representative, in the spring Of 1901.
Following Nevada come Idaho,
Washington, Colorado, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Oregon, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Utah, Kansas, and lastly
New Mexico
Throughout these States Govern
ment surveyors and engineers are
working upon many interesting pro-
tects where strong rivers rush down
out Of the mountains in time Of heavy
spring floods. but which will be i'm
pounded behind great masonry dams
to form storage lakes whence the water
will later be diverted into the irri-
cation canals and used for crops on the
desert soils. Thousands of prosperous
homes will be the result when these
works are completed, and the great
West, which is to-day in reality but a
sparsely settled community, will be-
come more rounded out and better bal
anced against the more populous East
ern half of the country.

JUDGE GROSSCUP'S SOLUTION.
NOTED JURIST JVOULD ESTABLISH
COURT OF TRANSP0RTA TON
TO REGULATE RAILROADS..

Numerous Rate Bills Before Congress
at Present. Senator Morgan Opens
Discussion.-Cenera Public Desires
More Enlightenment.
Whether or not there is to be the
specific railroad rate legislation in
Congress after the lines of the vigor-
Gus demands of the President, it is a
fact that many laws have been started
rejoicing on their initial courses at
both ends of the Capitol. They are Of
all sorts and conditions. Some will die
in the borning, some will be the bases
for thunderous TRADES of denunciation
against the railroads. with no inten-
ton by the authors of accomplishing
anything but getting their remarks"
before their constituencies at home,
in the borning, some will be the basis
the committees, and pigeon-holed, or
possibly merged into the one or two
bills which will be taken up for serious
consideration by the House and Senate
themselves.
There is vast difference of opinion
on the railroad rate question. There
are some who tell us that the term

There is a guide at Gettysburg, Pa,
Charles d. Sheads, to be found at the
Gettysburg Hotel, who is a genius.
While not himself soldier, perhaps
few il any of the actual participants
of that three days terrible fight have
1.-THE of his knowledge Of the details.
He has been a resident Of the town
since 1855. and was conductor Of the
Gettysburg & Hanover Railroad until
1T was burned by the Confederates
June 26, 1863.
Upon the memorable first day OF July,
with many other citizens, he went out
to the right of the Union army, where
the battle had already commenced. A
member of the Twelfth Illinois cavalry
fred the first shot, and a squadron Of
that regiment continued skirmishing
until relieved by the infantry Of the
First corps, commanded by Maj. Gen.
Reynolds. Later in the day Gen. Rey-

under Doubleday fell back through the
town and fortified the heights beyond.
Every house, public and private, had
become a hospital, and Sheads found
his little home flied with dead and
dying of both armies. Upon the second
and third day of the battle he was car

commenced again running his train.

Of the $50 monument dwellings, over
the $4,000 acres where the battles we're
fought Generals and privates, FEEDER

have been pfloted by him over every
spot where they had been stationed and
have listened to his truthful history of
their movements, while from them he
has steadily added to and increased
his store of knowledge.
