RURAL ROUTES SUSPENDED.
Poor Pay for Mail Carriers Robs Peo-
pie of Convenience.

Postmaster Fenton has received
instructions from Washington to the
effect that rural routes Nos. and 4,
out of Boise, will be discontinued af-
ter December Is, says the Boise
Statesman. The reason given is that
the department is unable to secure
carriers for these routes. Patrons of
the routes will hereafter get their
mail at the Boise postoffice. These
two routes are the heaviest ones out
of Boise, No especially so, as it will
average 10000 pieces of mail matter
to be handled per month. At one
time this route was exceeded In the
amount of mail handled by only six
others in the entire United States.
After the discontinuance of these,
route No. will be given to No. 2.
The reason carriers can not be Sc
cured is that the pay is not considered
sufficient. The carrier receives 1920
per year and must furnish his own
wagon and team and keep the same
in repair, as we'll as board himself
and team. At the present prices in
this section of the county no one
seems to want the job at that figure.

The large Montana ranch now
owned by A. d. Stillman was pur-
chased by the Pendleton lawyer from
a man who has the distinction of hav-
ing been President Roosevelt's part
ner in the cattle business while the
strenuous executive was in the west
A. w. Merryfleld is the name of the
former partner, and he is the only
one the president ever had while in
the cattle business.
Since his advent into Montana Mr..
Stillman has heard much from Mr..
Merryfield regarding the latter's as
sociation with the president, for the
cattleman is proud of the connection.
1t was in the early sos that the part
nership was formed in North Dakota.
At that time Theodore Roosevelt, lit
tie known to fame. was in the west
for the benefit of his health. Being
possessed of the idea that there was
money in the cattle business he Of
fered to form a partnership with
Merryfield he to furnish the capital
while Merryfield supplied the exper-
ience and did the work. The sum
of $50, 900 was furnished by the east
ern partner and this amount was
turned into cattle.
For several years the firm of
Roosevelt & Merryfield prospered,
and their cattle increased in numbers.
Each summer Mr.. Roosevelt and
some friends would come out from
the east to hunt and pass a few
months upon the Dakota ranch. But
during the hard winter of 'S6-7 the
range cattle of Dakota suffered bad
ly. and in the following spring the
herds of Roosevelt & Merryfield had
been converted into bone heaps. The
partnership was then dissolved and
Merryfield came west of the Rockies
to commence business anew. He set
tied on the Stillman ranch near Kalis-
pell and remained there until bought
out by the Pendleton man a few
months ago.
Friendship Still Exists.
When Mr.. Roosevelt ran for pres
ident two years ago his former cat
tie partner was one of the electors
chosen in Montana. He then secured
the privilege of carrying the official
returns from that state to the capital
| of the United States. While there the
| old acquaintance with the president
was renewed and the executive prom
| ised to name Merryfield as United
| States marshal for Montana. The ap.
pointment is now expected daily ant
will doubtless be sent to the senate
within a few days. When he sold hii
ranch to Mr.. Stillman Mr.. Merryfiel(
gave his anticipated appointment al
one of the reasons for selling. UpoI
receiving his appointment he VII
have to make his residence in Helena
In the copper state the United
States marshal does not rest in be-
of political roses as in this sovereign
ty, but instead of the same his patl
is strewn with thistles.
Ranch Politics Changed.
When the Kalispell ranch was sc
cured by Mr.. Stillman he found
large picture of Mr.. Roosevelt in al
most every room of the big hous
upon the place. A sufficient mum
Der of these portraits were left t
commemorate the fact that the ranc
