He CAME AND WENT AWAY
INSPECTOR FOUND NOTHING DO
ING FOR CITY DELIVERY.

II May BE Year OF Two Now Be-
tore the Delivery System Is
Inaugurated in Dawson.
Mr. A. D. Beatty, an inspector in
the city delivery department of the
postal service, was in Dawson Thurs
day to look over the situation with
the view of taking the preliminary
steps for the inauguration of city
mail delivery here, to which Dawson
is now entitled by reason of the fact
mat the postoffice receipts for the
nscal year just ended exceeded S1O,-
900.
But Inspector Beatty did not tarry.
He shook the dust of Dawson off his
TRIBES forthwith, and left not even
an lntimation as to when he will re-
turn.
Now, there are certain things that
Uncle Sam requires of the people
Of town before he will deliver mail
to the homes and places of business
in said town, such as posting at the
corners the names of the streets, the
numbering of the houses, and put
ting the sidewalks in first-class con-
dition.
The postal official who made the
journey here in the interest of city
delivery found that none of these
things had been done, and took his
departure on the first train. He may
come back in few months, or it
may be year or Two DeIore his well
come presence is again seen here. .
The News understands that the
city council has bought the figures
for numbering the houses and con-
tracted for the street signs, and that
this work will soon be begun and
completed. AS when the sidewalks
will be put in the required condi-
tion nothing has been said.

Inc proposition to work the coun-
" conFlcts on the streets of the city

IL was proposed that the member of
the legislature pass through that
BODY a special law permitting it to
De done, but Mr.. Mercer, who was
then the representative, declined to
introduce the proposed bill. The
FARMERS Union of the county also
were opposed to it, and passed reso-
buttons strongly protesting against
the changing being used except on
the county highways.
