County Service, Free Mail
Delivery.

Mr.. Ormsby of Black River Falls,
superintendent of free rural mail
delivery routes, has recently made
survey of the county with view to
the establishment of a county sys-
tenn of the free delivery Of mail. He
has reported his recommendations
founded on this investigation to the
post-office department and his rec
concentrations have been accepted
and an order issued for putting the
service into effect as recommended.
The instituting of this service,
which is intended to accommodate
the largest number of the inhabit-
ants possible by the best arrange
ment that can be secured, will COM
mence April 16. The Inauguration
of the new system requires the re-
arrangement of many of the routes
and the establishment of few new
ones.
Since writing the above para
graph we have received from Hon.
J. ]. Jenkins, our representative in
Congress, letter received by him
from the Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral officially announcing the order
for complete rural delivery service
in this county.
The letter states that there are
now 35 routes in the county under
this order, of which six are new
routes. These new routes are
One from Ellsworth, one from Beld-
enville, one from Elmwood, two
from Rock Elm and one from Dia-
mond Bluff.
Following are postoffices from
which the routes are operated and

would have tumbled months ago to the
fact that he had only to go in and win.
Gertrude Alicia knew the state of his
feelings right enough, but it had pleas

Neander's "One Work"

Doctors, when they send away a
busy man for several weeks of rest,
do not consider that to one accustomed
to work an enforced rest is both irri-
tating and depressing.
Neander, the famous church hiSto-
rian, had promised his physician on be

famous waters that he would take no
books with him except one work, which
the doctor with reluctance allowed.
On the morning of the historians de-

goodby to his patient, called at his
door and saw a cart laden with heavy
folios.

KEY WEST EXTENSION.

Doubt has been expressed by many
papers in Florida as to the purpose
of the Florida East Coast Railway to
complete its line to Key West as
originally planned. All such doubt,
it seems to the News, should be put
to sleep by the following expression
from Mr.. j, E. Ingraham, third vice
president of that road, and contained
in an article written by that gentle
man to The Manufacturer Record.
Mr.. Ingraham says:
"By the first of January, 1909, it is
expected that the extension of the
Florida East Coast Railway, now I'M
der construction from Miami across
the Florida KEYS to Key West, will
be completed, thus giving rail con-
nection to the most sOutherly and one
of the the finest harbors on the Gulf
coast with all parts of the United
States. The line is now being COM
pleted to Knights Key, % miles
north of Key West, where facilities
are being provided for handling
freight and passenger business this
winter, and which will he used for
that purpose until the line to Key
West is finished.
The principal channels into Key
West harbor are Southeast channel,
which has depth of water of not
less than 80 feet, and the Southwest
channel not less than q feet, so that
the entrances are all that could be
