This makes the people who pays

RURAL ROUTES IN OPERATION.

On May there were 1895 free
rural routes in operation in the
United States serving no less than
l3,474,065 farm patrons. To reach
this number mail was left at the
homes of no less than 3.1S2,S5O
farmers. These are tine figures as
compiled and Issued by the divi,
sion of rural delivery of the Postof.
fee Department at Washington.
Up TO May there had been re.
ceived by the Postoffice Depart.
ment no less than 53,O37 applica.
tons for rural II. all routes. OF this
number 14,23s applications have
been reported on adversely. Petit
tions pending on May totald 3,343
Probably large portion OF these
petitions will be acted on favorably
as soon as the authorities can get
to them, or have the funds availa BILE
for the establishment of routes.
As an indication that the Postof.
flee Department is using consider
able discretion in the establish
ment Of routes the division reports
that only 90 rural routes were dis
continued since June 30th, 1908
Probably the reason why these
routes were taken off was due either
to the fact that the localities were
too sparsely settled TO make deliv
cry an object, or else the roads were
not reasonably passage. Som.
routes have been discontinued sim
ply because the patrons were mo-
in sympathy with the service. Il
seems almost impossible to believe
however, that there are any farmers
at the present who are so backward
that rural mail service does no
appeal TO them.
When a farmer is located along &
route where the roads are so baC
that the government does not thinl
that the service will pay he is Ger
tainly unfortunate, and il he is EN-
deaoring to so improve the roads
that he can enjoy the service, thi'
farmer is certainly deserving o
sympathy. Hard roads are not nee
essary for the success of the rura
mail routes, but reasonably goot
highways during a larger portion
of the year are essential.

The Omaha mill will be fired up
In few days. The mill is one OF
the best ever built in any camr'
and will add very materially to the
regular weekly output of the camp.
The Strong Bow mill is more than
half done. The mill when com.
pieted will be one Of the best In the
district, and will have a capacity Of
200 tons of dirt per shift.
The Independence shaft Ia slow.

The sinking has been very hard.

great deal OF ore.
The Mission mill is now making

be built this summer.

The Monon mill is making con-
siderable ore. The mill only runs
about three days in the week, but
az soon as the two shafts can be
connected it will be possible to get
dirt enough to run the mill steadily
and then the output will begin to
loom up.
The Buck company, operating on
the Mary Buck land, proposes to do
a lot of drilling right away, and
also sink two development shafts.
The company has two sinking con-

NOT MANY BLUE HERON NESTS

One of the Few Rookeries OF Thia
Bird Near Battle Creek.
A notable nesting place for the great
blue heron is ten miles west Of Battle
Creek, Mich, on the north bank of
the Kalamazoo river, according to the
Detroit Free Press.
1t Is notable for the reason that
there are now only a few nesting
places left Of this handsome and ma
jestic bird In this state and still more
notable for the fact that this is the
only rookery not located ininaccessible
swamps, almost impossible to pene-
trate, especially for women who are
bird students.
This rookery Is not only upon acces
sible ground, but is within a few rods
Of the Battle Creek s. Kalamazoo In
terurban line. 1t Is visited annually
by hundreds OF bird students, especial
" women, and the Battle Greek Ma
ture Club gives annual excursions to
the place.
Students from the Michigan colleges
visit the rookery and one time a par
ty of ornithologists came from the
- lEEH ~&A -N=HE4AEL
the Chicago university.
Herons always return to the sams
nesting place. The ones at this rock
cry have returned annually for TWEEN.
ty years past.
The nests are huge, rude affairs,
built OF sticks and twigs OF about the
same size, loosely placed together and
forming a sort of lattice work upon
which the eggs are laid.
They use the same nest every year
simply adding more sticks. The eggs
number from three to four, are OF q
BLUSH green color, a little larger thar
hens eggs.
II possible, sycamore trees arc al
ways selected for nesting because this
color OF the bark harmonlzes perfect
" with the plumage Of the bird and
