One OF the most gratifying features OF
the verdict Of the people at the polls is
their singing rebuke of the campaign of
defamation waged by the traducers of
the fair fame of Vermont. The Clemo-
Gratis had found nothing too sacred in
Vermont or her interests or her insti-
tutions to besmirch for the purpose OF
promoting personal ambition and the
qualification Of the lust Of power. Their
newspaper organs and the literary bureau

Kidney Pills are a fine remedy, not only
from my own experience but also from
that Of my wife. She had been troubled
for four months with a pain through her
loins and across the kidneys. She also
had headaches and when she took cold It
made her back ache worse. A friend ad-
vised the use OF Doan's Kidney Pills, and
procured a box at F. H. Holden's drug
store. They were just the remedy she
needed, and she was soon relieved in
every way and her back was stronger and
her general health improved. She still
uses Doan's Kidney Pills whenever oc-
casion demands It. / know they are a
remedy to be relied upon"

MAY REDUCE RURAL DELIVERY
Postmaster General Issues New Or
ders Concerning Rural Free De-
livery.

1t is not unlikely that some radical
changes and innovations will be made
within the coming year regarding the
rural free delivery service of mail.
Postmaster General Cortelyou, in
his annual report, goes in detail into
the question of rural free delivery and
outlines his policy for the future as
follows:
The discontinuance without delay of
any route where it is found on inspec-
ton that because of a lack of appre-
citation of the service the expenditure
involved is unwarranted.
The discontinuance of all post offices,
when not inconsistent with existing
law, if the patrons can be adequate
ly served by rural free delivery.
This will result in many instances in
saving to the department the amount
of the cancellations.
The substitution of every other day
service for daily service where the
patronage is not sufficient to warrant
daily service, thereby disseminating
the employment of carrier.
The restriction that conditions pre-
cedent to the establishment of rural
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-01-04

delivery shall be possible patronage
of 100 families on standard route of
twenty-four miles, or a proportionate
number of families on routes of less
length; and that roads shall be kept
in good condition, unobstructed by
gates, with all streams fordable at all
seasons of the year, provided that in
completing the service in county the
average patronage per route shall be
not less than ninety families.
The requirements that before route
is installed that postmaster shall GER
tify that not fewer than three fourths
of the possible patrons have provided
for approval rural mail boxes.
The requirement that all patrons not
using an approved box, or a box
which can be approved, under the reg
ulations, shall provide themselves with
an approved box, whether the box
now in use by them was erected prior
to October l, 1902, or not.

AS to winters, we are now having a
snow storm but, the wind never blows
in this valley when the snow is on the
ground and no man ever thinks of
staying at home on account of storm
if he has work to do.
1t has been three degrees below
zero one winter and the other two it
did not reach zero at any time since

A FERTILE VALLEY
DR.. Saunders Writes of The
Wenatchee Valley.
ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR LAND.
With irrigation the Laud Blossoms and
Fruit Yield is Enormous, Without
it Country is Desert.

Wenatchee, Wash, Dec. Is, 1905.
Dear Editor:
Asvery many of your readers in and
around Manila last summer expressed
desire to learn more of the state of
Washington promised to write let
ter to some paper and tell them some
thing OF the drawbacks (?) of this sec
tion of the country.
In the first place l enclose copy
of some of the affidavits furnished to
the reclamation bureau going to prove
that the Government can, with perfect
safety, spend $4,000 per acre in the
Columbia river valley for irrigation
and that the land would be taken the
minute that the water was on at that
price. In the data secured by the
commission are the following facts
w. e. Stevens in the year 1905 har-
vested 1900 boxes of Ben Davis apples
from l1-3 acres of land and sold them
at a dollar box.
w. B. Patrons orchard last year
netted him ten per cent on valua-
ton 81 900 an acre and this yeal
twenty per cent on the same valua-
tion.

We in the spring get some days
that the wind blows quite hard, but
wind storms are unknown in this sec
ton and it seldom blows hard for over
two hours. The dust is the only un-
pleasant feature of the wind for every
one works right along.
This is distinctly a fruit section and
took more first premiums at Portland
than any other county in the U. S. al
though we have but 5000 people in the
county and only about 300 acres in old
orchard. Men of ten acres of old or
chard are wealthy and our farmers
think nothing of trip to southern
CAL, on hunting or fishing trip, al
though we have both at our very door.
What we need most is more water,
for this is desert without it. But
with irrigation it is garden.
l would rather have ten acres in old
orchard than any 100 of the old Saun-
derS farm and certainly know tnaI
there is none better in Iowa.
Every acre in Iowa is a good acre,
not so here for there is much of no
value and more of no value without
water. 1t is not question of land,
but of water. l expect to purchase
water for some land the coming year
at $4,000 per acre and pay yearly
$3.50. for to keep the ditch in repair
and am considered to be lucky to have
land coming under the ditch. This
land is ten miles from the nearest
town but two from railroad siding.

There is considerable complaint
from the stockmen, both sheep and
cattle raisers, of this county, because
the meeting of the stockmen of the
eastern division of the Blue mountain
reserve has been called for Sumpter.
d. b. Shelter, superintendent, has
made an official call for the meeting
TO be held in the mining city on No
vemter S.
owing to the distance from here to
Sumpter and the poor railroad connec-
tions of that place it involves consid-
cradle loss of time and some expense
for the stockmen of this section to at
tend the meeting. While in Portland
recently Dan P. Smythe, secretary of
the State Woolgrowers association,
urged that the meeting be held here,
but the decision to hold it at Sumpter
had already been made.
Cattlemen who have been in town
today have been complaining vigor-
ously because they will have to go to
Sumpter, and it is possible they may
ask that a meeting be held here for
the stockmen tributary to this city.
In the official call for the meeting
of November s, Superintendent Shell
Ter gives notice of the reductions that
are to be made in the number OF
sheep allowed in the reserve next
spring. The reductions are as an.

after the return of Secretary Smyths

Ernest Todhunter Got s25, or Twelve
Days In the City Jail.

Ernest Todhunter was given a fine
of s25 or IL days in jail by Judge
Fitz Gerald this morning. for having
assaulted Milton Parrish in a bawdy
house on Cottonwood street Satur-
day afternoon. According to the tale
told by Parrish he was on his way
home Saturday afternoon and was
proceeding via the Idle Hour saloon
and the alley in the rear. While in
one of the joints he says he was at
tackled by young Todhunter, after
they had quarreled over eaying for
some drinks. Todhunter admitted his
guilt.
One of the Dupuis boys, who was
travelling with young Todhunter dur
ing the afternoon, was also implicated
in the scrape. However, he denied
the charge, and after several witnesses
had been examined that young man
was discharged.
other prisoners this morning were
Fred Jensen, John Haglon and Frank
Blair, all of whom were charged with
being drunk and were given three
days each.
