May Mean a Government Building

Postmaster Grayson is in re celpt of a letter of inquiry from the department at Washington Tn which quite a mum Der of ques- tons are propounded. MT. Grayson is asked to report the receipts of the postoffice here in 1896, the receipts in 1906 and an estimate of what it will be in 1916: the population of Prescott in 1896, the population in 1906 and an estimate of the population in 1916.
 He is further asked for infor- nation concerning the floor space in 1896 and 1906, and what Is likely to be needed in 1916.
 Other questions are asked of the same nature and the communication winds up by ask ing for what corner lot in the town can be bought.

deal of waste, but that waste could
be much better disposed of. The
rats are a heavy drain on the profits
of agriculture, and the loss they
cause is by no means confined to
food
The Agricultural Department tells
us that rats destroy eggs and young
poultry, pigeons, game birds and
wild song birds. They have been
known to kill young rabbits, pigs
and lambs, and even to attack chill
dren. Carl Hagenbeck once lost
young elephants because rats gnaw-
ed their feet, infllcting incurable
wounds. They enter stores and
warehouses and destroy dry goods
lace curtains, carpets, woolens,
silks-as well as kid gloves and
other leather goods. They gnaw
through lead pipes, flooding build
ings with water or filling them with
gas. They injure furniture and the
foundations and doors of building.
They eat the insulation from electric
wires, thus causing disastrous fires.

"BECAUsE OF HER"

I do not think, because she died.
The happy world has grown less fair,
But rather all things, glorifed,
A deeper, holier beauty wear.
The sombre gold OF evening pales
In sadder splendor where she sleeps,
A softer, minor music walls
In every wandering wind that sweeps
Great Natures many-chorded Tyre,
And wakes the gusty grief that thrills,
With divine, responsive fire
The hoary Harpers of the Hills
The mghty-shafted minstrel pines,
That chant, when morning mists curled
Like incense on yon mountain shrines,
The pean OF a waking world
swift and strange intelligence
Thrills through the many-peopled woods
When some vague Joy, know not whence,
Breathes through their ieafy soatudes;
Through fleece and fold of gossamer gold
The dawns with newer beauty break,
And softer sunset mists are rolled
About the hills for her sweet sake.
The unfolds a richer hue
The lily lifts saner face,
The skies bend down a deeper bgue
Above her hallowed resting place.
The breeze moansthrough the restless leaves
deeper music evermore
And sobs its heart out gainst the stone
That guards her darkened chamber door

These reflections are forced on my
mind by looking at the country and
seeing the shape of the ground. Yet
| had no intention Just now of touch
ing upon railway questions. l want
to give an idea of what this land
looks like. This morning, from five
to eight, from Eskishehir to the
neighborhood of Kutahia, l was
passing through a highland valley
| like that on the railway to Oban,
and through cloud and rain that
would have seemed there in their
Iplace. Then came hours of an up
land wheat country, where the plow-
man and the sower were busy, and
where now and then were glimpses
Of ancient rock dwellings, and In the
distance of tombs that were ancient
history to Herodotus. The horizon
was bounded by purple hills, their
SUBMITS patched with the remnants
of the winter snow. 1t was a vale
that recalled that of the Fulda, in
Central Germany, except for the alb
sence here of trees and the scarcity
of population. When there is VII
lage It is of the Punjab type, one
storeyed cottages or huts of sun
dried mud, with fiat roofs. But the
villages are few and far between,
as are the towns. From Eskishehir
to here there are Kutahia (22 900
inhabitants), prettily perched on the
side of hill few miles from the
line; Karahissar $4,000, at the
foot of a great range with a huge
rock like that of Dumbarton citadel
crowned, but far higher and finer;
Chat (5OO0)and Akshehr (20,000),
lying at the foot of the ravlnes run
ming down from the magnificent
range of the Sultan Dagh; Ilgin,
little town near the lake or marsh OF
the same name; and Konia Itself
that makes, IL Eskishehir be In
,luded, seven towns in three hundred
miles.
From Karahissar tho line follows
l wide river, the Cayster, now in |
lood, with a spacious velley. The |
,alley seems. to grow corn, but the |
liver runs through a small marsh |
nto tho Lake of Akshehr, and there
,vaporates. After that the ground
,eglns to be salty; the banks OF the
AXE of Ilgin are white with salt;
md then the line skirts the southern
dge OF a plain that stretches out of
light toward the north. Even here
here was an occasional strip OF
lowed land, and abundance OF sheep
nd cattle, and at the few railway
tations | saw large quantities OF
sheat in sacks and in heaps.
