The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1907-12-05

Three railroad companies, the Atch
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe, st. Louis
and San Francisco, and the Missouri
Pacific, have absolutely declined to
comply with an order of the Postoffice
Department that for the next forty
days these roads should carry empty
mail bags and other mail equipment
hack to the distribution centers with
out compensation therefor. The reason
for this order was desire to prevent
tie-up or congestion of mail during
and just preceding the holidays. To
this end, 1t was thought that 1t would
be well to have the equipment trans
ferred more speedily than can be done
by freight, which Is the method pro-
vided. While there is some doubt as
to the right of the department to en-
force its order, the law permits the use
of the express companies for the pur-
pose in question, which would meet the
emergency, though proving rather ex-
pensiye. a

operations along this line. 1t Is re-
ported that Captain Thomas II. Love
lace, the aeronaut, recently made bal
loon trip over the walls of Fort wads-
worth, New York Harbor, and took a
series or blrd's-eye photographs of the
fortificatiOns, showing the entire prac-
ticability of obtaining information in
this way. This material was turned
over to the War Department, and it is
intimated that the aeronaut will be CIV

Now one thing that Grants Pass can
exercise a little foresight in, is the mat.

that is bringing this publicly to mind
is the new box factory on the eastern
edge OF our. city. There is only one
street leading to 1t and that runs east
and west. The real estate agents Of
the town will tell you that there has
been quite an active demand for
houses in the north.e eastern part of

factory. And there Ia no way For
them to get to II without trespassing
