Proposed Burnham Bill for Local Rural
Parcels Post Becomes Law
(MAxwELL's TALlsMAN.)

In his Report the Senate on March 4th 1905 advocat

master General he the establishment Of
this special service because Others Will benefit the
: COUNTRY MERCHANTS.
He also states that the increased revenue from the
service would more than out the postal deficit"
the surplus above that would be of great assistance in max
ing the rural service self-sustaning.
He says further 1.-The service WILL in all proba-
by, cost the this $34 OOOO increase
of So 0O0, 600 last year.
Now the question is
"Who will contribute these millions of dollars that will
wipe ont the postal deficit and be of great assistance in
making the rural service self-sustainlng?
There can be but

The cost of rural mail service cheerfully borne by the
people from the general of the government.
The Postmaster General in the Report above referred
that he favor the establishment local Rural
Parcels Post because it will benefit sthe farmer the
COUNTRY MERCHANT and other patrons of the routes"
The Country Merchants should answer whether it will
benefit them, and If 1T WILL NOT they should make
fact known all and declare with NO UNCERTAIN
VOICE.
The advocates of general Parcels Post Extension have
abandoned the direct attack and for the time being
massed all their forces flank from the rear

b. Hazellpp, a prominent young
farmer OF Shelby county, was
found dead In the road near the
Franklin county line in Shelby
county this morning, and a pros
pective raid by the night riders,
is in some way connected with
his death. Hazelipp was shot
and in his hand a pistol, his dead
fingers still grasping the butt of it
tightly. Near the body was found
a blanket and cartridge that
would fit Springfield rifle such

KENTUCKY'S
FOREST SURVEY
Will be Taken up in June State
and Nation Work
Together.
FAR SIGHTED POLICY EXPECTED
TO BE lNAUGURATED.

Washington, May 25.-This
seasons cooperative study OF
Kentucky's forest resources by
the State and Federal Govern
ment will be begun in two weeks.
As was the case last year, the
expense OF the investigation will
be borne jointly by the State
Board OF Agriculture and the
United States Forest Service,
each approaching $1,000, which,
together with approximately 81
500 left over from last year,
makes $500 available for the
work. j. s. Holmes, of the sec.
ton of cooperation in the Forest
Service, who had charge of the
study last summer, will again d.
rect the work.
IL is proposed TO start a small
party in the south mountain
countries easily in June. 1t is
hoped that in July more men will
be added to the force, who will
take up the study in two other
sections of the State. The meth
cd of working will be similar to
to that employed last year. The
foresters will take the region,
county by county, travelling over
it on foot or on horseback. The
percentage of forest and cleared
land Will be ascertained and as
accurate an estimate as possible
made of the available supply of
timber in each county.
The general condition of the
forest, whether cut over or vir-
gin, whether burned over or In
juried by insects or other enemies
and especially the result of past
numbering, will be noted, so that
specific recommendations can be
made to guide the owners in the
care and management of their
timber industries will be made
with the object Of suggesting less
wasteful methods if such as pos
sible. The question of fire pro-
lection, protection from stock,
forest planting, and the stands,
will receive specially considera-
ton.
Kentucky is so exceptionally
situated, with many of her own
large streams rising within her
own borders, that she can most
profitably conserve her water
resources, and for this reason, as
we'll as for the production of tim
Der, the forests of this state need
special care. 1t is likely that
this study will lead to the inaug-
uration of a liberal and far sight
ed policy. There are signs that
the need of such a policy is rap
idly coming to be appreciated
by the people of the State, and
that Kentucky will soon be one
of the leading states in the move
ment for the better care and pro-
lection of forests.

Graham mines. Until a few
months ago he was one of the
prosperous miners of the Hec.
Ia mines, but bad company
and persuasive tongue led
him astray and he cast his
lot with the U. M. W., and since
that time has dra wn his wee bit
along with his associates. Evil
IDENTIFY the rations run short, and
family must be supported, so he
sought other fields of labor.
The first snake story of the
season seems now to be credited
to Richard Salmon, secretary Of
the Crabtree Coal Mining Co., of
Ilsley, who it is claimed few
days ago killed a rattle-snake
with fourteen rattles, and if as
stated, that only one rattle
grows each year, his snakeship
was at least fourteen years old,
or was this a petrified snake he
found in the coal mine? Any.
how, his many friends believe ii
was a real snake he saw.
For the third time, Mansil Lo-
gan, one of the true and tried
employees at work in the Arnold
nine, met with a painful but not
serious accident last Friday. He
was putting up some timbers
in the mine when one piece fell,
striking him on the head and
scalp, uecessitating surgical aid.
His hearing is not the best, and
most likely he failed to hear the
warning when the timbers began
to fall.
Two cases of trouble caused
loss of about half a day at No. IL
mine last Friday. In the first
place a steam pipe conveying
the steam from the slack washer
engine to the tip engine became
valueless on account of a break,
which Assistant Foreman Cavi-
ness and crew repaired. Then
came wreck in the mine
caused by portion of a trip be-
coming derailed, knocking down
supporting the roof and
causing quite a lot of dirt to fall
down on cars. Foreman Wyatt
soon had a force of men at work
and Saturday morning all repairs
had been made aud coal came
pouring out again.
Down at Clay the business
men of that place are trying to
boom the town by claiming that
the city is surrounded by an i'm
nense coal field, which is no
doubt the fact. And when you
look back to the rapid growth of
Darlington and jacksonville,
both great coal centers, it must
be admitted the citizens of our
city are on the
right road. The writer remem-
bers when jacksonville was a
dead town, but the discovery of
coal and the development of the
mines has forced it to the front.
So there.is a,future for Clay like
wise.

passed away about week be-

the child should not be allowed to
