Mail Caught Fire Twice.

on last Thursday morning the post
mistress at Halfway lit a fire in the
office stove and then busted herself
in another quarter. Sparks from the
stove lighted the r. f. d. mail which
was placed near by awaiting the ar
rival of the carrier.
Opportune aid appeared and the
flame was extlnguished. Only short
time after this had been done, how
ever, 1t broke out afresh from some
source and a lively blaze ensued. This
time. Harvey Scott, the stage driver,
appeared and by strenuous efforts
suppressed II but not until considera-
BILE damage had been done. A post
office inspector happened to be pres

NEW YORK HIGHWAYS.
$50, 900, 900 Available To BE Expended
Upon Them.

Albany. y. Y. April S.-The New
York State Highway convention open
ed It's annual session here today. Ow-
ing to the fact that the state legisla-
ture has passed lthe 100000 600 state
bonding law, which opens a new, era
for road building in this state, the
present session is OF the greatest i'm
portance. Road supervisors from all
parts of the state are in attendance
and also many county officials inter-
ested in the good roads movement.
The committee recommends that
the legislation for the distribution OF
the S5O,OOO,OOO bond issue be made
in one act so that the comptroller
may sell the bonds from time to time;
that the state maintain the roads after
they ere built similar to the plan in
operation IN Massachusetts; that the
state designate the roads to be i'm
proved so that the apportlonment can
be made equitably between the coun-
ties of the state. 1t also recommends
that grade crossings be eliminated
that county conventions be held to
discuss highway improvements; that
prison labor be employed in crushing
stone for use on roads, and that law
be passed to acquire the property
necessary for good roads by condemn
alton proceedings, without the eX-
pensivc practice now in vogue.

Stage Horse Suicided.

Driving stage this time of year is
very discouraging business. Last Fri
day near the summit of the mountain,
on the road from Bonanza to BLY,,
the stage team became exhausted

horse, leaving the other lying in
about two feet of water, and went
after help. When he returned from
the sawmill with Sykes Hamaker, he
found the animal drowned. 1t is
