MORE FOR CARRIERS
Prospects Good for $40 a
Month Increase Over
Present Salary
The Thief River Falls News,

The Thief River Falls News, in
quoting the letter of Congressman
Ste emerson, given below, says:
The rural carriers are certainly en-
titled to the increase now proposed.
Their duties involve no little RESPONSE
bility and they must be out IN all
weather. They must carry the mail
in summers heat or winters cold. in
rain and mud-in fact it it is physi-
cal1y possible to cover their routes
they are expected to cover them. and
their routes are of such length that to
drive over them occupies a full day.
They must keep at least three horses,
and must have substitute in readi-
ness to take thel rplsces in case of ILL.,
ness. All things consldered, an in
crease sufficient to bring their salaries
to the very moderate figure of $40
Per annum cannot be regarded other
wise than as Just and desirable.
In letter to a friend Congressman
Steenerson says: ''Many PROPOSE
tions have beon made to increase the
compensation Of rural carriers in var
Gus amounts. have mad frequent
consultations with the members Of the
committee on Post Office and Post
Roads, as we'll aswith other leading
members of the House on tho subje Ct
aud came to the conclusion that an in
crease to $840 year, or so month
is as mech as we can expect this year.
You will understand that there is
great pressure for increase in salaries
all along the line.
The railway mail clerks, tie post
Ofce department clerks and in fact sll
the employ ees under tie Civil Service
are. with moro or less justice on their
side, olamoring for increased pay and
all classes have their friends. The city
carriers are especially strong in Con-
gress because the repxesen tatives from
the large cities are very aggressive in
their demands for increased pay for
the city carriers.
A very large increase all around
would be moro than the Treasury
could stand. II the Postoffice Com.
mlttee shonh have singled out the
rural Carriers alone for increase they
would have incurred the opposition of
majority Of the House, so in order
to frame bill shat would go through
and have a majority at It's back we
have made concessions and have sue
oeeded In having an item put into the
appropriation bill to increase the
salary to $840 year for rural CARL
ers in the Northwest where the wea-
ther is severe and the snow is deep,
have the hardest tack and I have had
this in mind continuously in my
efforts in this matter. Perhaps In the
near future We may be able to do still
better. I wish them to understand
that have not forgotten their inter.
ehts but done the best that could be
done under the circumstances and

attention telpg member of the

WISH THIS WAS TRUE
Glenwood Paper Says 500
Deal for L. F.&D.
is a Fact :

The following, taken from the Glen.
wood Gopher, will be of interest to
tie people of this city:
I'VE have received what We con.
slider reliable information that the
trade, as reported IN last week issue
OF the Gopher, by which tho SEQ be.
comes tie possessor of the Norhtern
Palc6c brarch between Little Falls
and Morris, was on the 9TH day of
February perfected. The 500 will as
soon as possible continue the line to
Doluth and also extend the Morris end
into South Dakota. This will not only
be great relief to the people of Sauk
Centre, Little Falls and those towns
that would have competitive stations
It the Brooten extension were made,
but will also be an excellent thing
for Glenwood, as it means large
number of extra people and even per
haps the erection of small shops here
by the Soo.'
Conflicting rumors are in circulation
IN regard to the above article. Presi-
cent Gemmel, Of the NJ. and I is re.
ported as saying there was nothing in
the report that the 500 had got cen
trol, that the Northern Pacific did
not have any more track that il
needed, in fact that all roads were
short OF trackage.> Another report,
supposed to come direct from Manager
Kimberly of the Northern Pacific,
is to the effect tbat the 500 is now i1
possession of the L. F. & D., that 8
toad in the northeastern part ct the
etate OF about equal trackage had beer
just for the. fun of the thing. Thu

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
CT Seventy-Five Cents.

"My little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die / had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day | commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and
would have gladly paid 500 if l could
not have got it cheaper. l feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now boy Of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

Inlsry from Mosquitoes.

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
tons ceased. to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk Of
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year.

Science Monthly.
