a Reading standard machine, secured through the agency of the Arizona
 Motor company of Phoenix. and con Sidered one Of the best machines or the kind on the market today. Wheth- e7 or not this service continues de- bends to a large extent upon the pat
 rOns Of this route themselves. Any
 He who knows anything about a mo-
 tor cycle or any other kind of a cycle knows that ore of the most essential features is good roads. It is obvious
 of course that there will be times when a motor cycle will not be avail
 able through bad weather but in this section of the country such occasions are much less frequent than bad roads due to an excess of irrigating water. As has been stated before in this col- umn it is pretty generally known that more than fifty per cent. as conser- vative average, of the bad roads are due to one of two things or maybe a ombination of both. Either the road overseer neglects to grade the roads or the farmer neglects to take proper precautions to keep the water within bounds and out of the road. It is thought that with a reasonable ef- fort on the part of both. that there will be little difficulty on route No. in the carrier making his daily rounds on his machine in good weather. He is relying upon the willingness of the patrons of the route to help in this matter of roads and whenever possi- ble to tlse their influence to have a road graded and make a reasonable effort to keep the water where it be- longs. The carrier is willing to wade walk or swim if necessary. where a road is in bad shape through an ac- cident and when no one is to blame. but when road is flooded or in bad condition due to neglect on the part of the farmer. the patron who gets no mail for a few days until the road is passable, will have to fight it out with the department. In preparing for the use Of "a motor cycle the carrier se- cured permission of the department to use the machine permanently and this permission is granted upon the condi- tion that rig be used only in bad weather. The ground is quite thor oughly covered in The Rural Deliv- cry Service" published by the post office department for the instruction of postmasters and carriers It says. Failure to maintain in passable con dition at all seasons of the year the highways traversed by rural carriers will be considered sufficient reason for the withdrawal of established ser vice from a locality. POstmasters at rural delivery offices shall promptly re- port all cases of impossible and bad roads to the Fourth Assistant Post master General"
 Another matter of no little import ance in the matter of prompt delivery of mail also depends upon the patrons and that is the location of mail boxes. The above quoted authority has to say on that subject. Each box shall be erected on the road regularly travelled by d rural carrier and on which the service has been established. in such a position as to be easily and safely accessible fo the delivery and collec- tion of mail without requiring the car

Dan Sullivan was yesterday held over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500. He was un- able to secure the bond and was taken to Phoenix last evening. Sullivan is the hobo who was arrested Monday afternoon on a suspicion of being i'm piicated in the robbery of an NJ. & P. car the night before. Sufficient evil dence was brought out at the hear ing yesterday to warrant his being held to the grand jury and there seems to be little doubt but that he will be convicted. Another hobo who was also taken into custody Monday was released yesterday no evidence of an discriminating nature being found against him.

 The carrier on No. ? has gone to an expense of over s200 to give the pat rons of the route better service and naturally expects to receive their CO., operation in the keeping of the roads and other features incidental to good delivery service. It is expected that with this cooperation the last patron on the route will have his mail and morning paper, when the train is on time, delivered at his box by 9:30 a. m. and probably few routes in the service can boast Of as much.
