DO not understand why the word ee used in connection
with rural delivery. Is it any more applicable to rural
delivery than TO city delivery?
In regard TO rural mail delivery will say, while
have no figures upon the subject is conceded every
hand that it is worth several times its The deficit
charged to rural mail delivery only nominal for it does
not take into the increase receipts of the postal
department from the increased postal business account
of it.

Most of those offenses that have
not occurred in Grangeville precinct
have been brought to Grangeville for
various reasons. In some instances
there has been no Justices in the pre-
clnCt where the crime was committed;
in one instance the justice was a wit
ness in the case; in others the expense
OF going to the precinct and taking a
Stenographer, as for instance into the
mountains, would be as much or
more as it would cost to hold the ex-
animation at Grangeville, for in pre-
lIminary examinations only, such wit
nesses as are necessary to make a pri-
ma facie case are called and in many
instances it is advisable, owing to the
feeling existing in the community
where the offense was committed, to
hold the preliminary elsewhere.
While the probate court has juris-
dlction to try such matters on pre-
liminary examination, it is not the pro-
vince or duty of the probate court to
hear all of such matters, nor would
it be proper to burden said court with
criminal examinations when Justices
of the peace are elected for such pur-
poses, and again the expense in each
case would be the same excepting
the sum of SO which the Justice oil
the peace would get for sitting as
magistrate and under the law the pro-
bate Judge would not.
In conclusion | would suggest that
the person who prepared the article
in your paper look up the law or
these matters and if he is unable tc
do so or to understand it any gooc
lawyer would be glad to assist him.

DEATH OF MRS. JACK.
Respected and Popular Young Wife
Passes to Great Beyond.

Friends of Mrs. ]. M. Jack were
shocked Wednesday evening to hear
of her death which occurred at 8:25
O clock. She had not been strong
for several months and on Tuesday
she became i'll and continued sinking
until the end came. Pulmonary
tuberculosis was the cause of her
death.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon from the Episcopal church
and was attended by scores of sorrow
ing friends and relatives. Interment
was made at Prairie View cemetery.
Mrs. Jack, who was twenty-three
years of age at the time of her death,
was formerly Miss Elsie Schnell of
this city. She came here from the
east several years ago with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. g. M. Schnell and the
other members of the family. Size
taught school in the county until last
fall when she was married at Weiser,
Idaho, to John M. Jack while the
two young folks were members of a
camping party. Since then they
have resided in this city where Mr..
Jack is manager of the city water
system.
The death of Mrs. Jack lessons the
ranks of noble American womanhood
as much as the loss of modest and
lovable girl and wife can be counted.
She was repected by all who knew
her and by her words and actions she
left the feeling that her mission upon
earth was to bring happiness to all her
acquaintanceS.

the most successful in handling these
interests in the most economical and
businesslike manner.
The hall was we'll filled and it was
said to have been the largest political

Eneavors to Explain Why Vineyard 8

In the first place nearly all the said

the holding of some of the defendants
to the district court, and some dis

examinations must be reduced to

him at the request and under the sup

examining magistrate shall receive
SO. 90 for sitting as magistrate, and in
addition thereto shall be allowed the
sum of 20 cent per folio, or for each
100 words of the evidence taken at
such examination.

Gov" j. H. Brady Had Large
Audience Friday Night.
VOICES DIRECT PRIMARY
Held Enthusiastic Meeting at
Cottonwood Saturday Night.

Since last Fridays political meet
ing the term The Next Governor"
in connection with the name of lanes
H. Brady seems more applicable than
ever. Mr.. Brady made most favor
able impression upon the large audi
ence which greeted him at the Ar
mory and his visit bids fair to prove a
profitable one when the votes are
counted three weeks from next Tues
day.
Following the rendition of two
selections by the Riggs concert band
on Main street Mr.. Brady and Edwin
Snow, the speakers of the evening,
were escorted to the Armory. The
hall was very appropriately decorated
and presented a pleasingIy patriotic
appearance. E. A. Carpenter, chair
man of the central committee, intro
duced James H. Brady, who deliver
ed strong address. In the course
of his remarks he said that he believed
1t was more import for governor
to be interested in business than in
politics; that he himself was concern
ed first of all with the development
OF the resources of the state. Mr..
Brady spoke as enthusiastically favor
ing the direct primary law and pro-
missed that his efforts would be en-
ployed in the passage of such a law
in the event of his election as COVER
nor. IF you people up here in Ida
no county need roads and bridges to
develop the isolated and remote
areas" said Mr.. Brady, and it is
possible for me to aid you, |, as gov
ernor, will do everything that is reason
able in that direction Other por-
tions of his address upon which Mr.
Brady laid particular emphasis were
his own views favoring the compile
ton of north and south railway for
Idaho and the splendid record of the
republican party in the state in the
administration of the land department.
He paid glowing tribute to Taft as
the leader of his party and closed his
remarks by expressing the hope that
the splendid record of progress which
the republican party has made in the
last fifty years should not be interrupt
ed because vigorous and progressive
policies are needed now more than
ever before.
Edwin A. Snow, assistant attorney
general, followed Mr.. Brady. His
part in the evenings program was
well delivered Grafton upon the issue
of the campaign. He in an interest
ing speaker and his hearers were
treated to an enlightened and logical
discourse on republicanism as prac-
ticed in state and national matters.

How to Grow Palms Successfully.


There is no secret or knack about
successfully growing a palm. Only a
knowledge of its habits and require
ments is needed, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer Good drainage must be
provided, the proper kind of soil and
comprehension as to how to water
the plant properly. When the leaves
of Il palm turn brown at the tip, first
of all examine the soil in which it is
growing In the majority Of cases it
will he found that it is wet and clog
ged Take Immediate steps to repot
the plant, provide plenty of good drain-
age and sandy and rather heavy soil.
Water ii well, then place the plant in a
good strong light out Of the rays Of
the sun. Give it very little water after
the first drenching until the plant
shows signs of growth. The chief Sc
eret of success with palms is to keep
them out of the direct sunlight, but in
a strong light, and to water them only
when the soil is dry on the surface.
Once every fortnight the palm should
be taken to the bathroom and be giveE
a thorough drenching Of the foliage.

How 70 Ereshen up Eurs.

Owners of furs may have received
them from the summer storage and
found them dead looking and lusterless,
a condition in which even handsome
furs are not attractive. This is usdal-
" due to the fact, says the Technical
World Magazine, that the fur is sim
ply soiled, and it may be cleaned and
frightened to a remarkable extent by a
simple method without the slightest
danger of injury to the article. This
is the method employed by the Rus
slams, who are certainly the most ex-
tensiye users of and probably the best
Informed on the subject of furs Of any
nation. Rye bran should be heated in
an iron or earthenware vessel, being
stirred all the while until it has be-
come as hot as is bearable to the hand.
The bran should then be poured upon
the fur in liberal quantities and thor
oughly rubbed in The fur should then
be brushed with a clean brush or shak-
en- and pounded until all the particles
of bran have been reF2 "a. che re-
suit Of this treatment syill be that all
dark furs have regainedl their freshness
and luster and that white furs appear
like new.

How to Put on a Corset.

Fasten the abdominal hooks first
lifting the body with a long breath at
the same time and holding the head
well back. This holds superfiuous 1esE
in the right place instead of crowding
1t downward, which can only be ex-
cessively ugly as we'll as injurious,
says the New York American. After
the top of the front is hooked draw the
looped laces from eyelets slightly be-
low the waist, pulling the bottom OF
the corset much tighter than the top.
Through this simple means healthy
breathing is permitted, for bodices are
and hips the figure needs to be held
