Forty Thousand Carriers Now Cover
Million Miles.

Washington, April LA report on
April ! by the fourth assistant post
master general shows that rural de-
livery service Is now in operation on
40.027 routes, 800 routes having been
established on April /. This is sig
niflcant, In view Of the statement,
dated November 20. 1902, that the ter
ritory available for rural delivery en-
braces about 100000 square miles
and that reasonable estimate places
the entire force OF carriers at 40,-
900 when the extension OF service will
have been completed 1t Is estimated
that the area now covered by rural
delivery service is about 1,000, ,000
square miles. but as evidenced from
the applications pending, there still
remains unserved territory. The ter
ritory available for rural delivery was
greatly increased by the admission
Of the State of Oklahoma into the
Union and by the extensive settle
ment of Western Texas
Five hundred routes win be estab-
lished May /, and 100 routes June /,

value Of Farm land Increasing.

We are Just awakening to the fact
that the value OF farm land Is rapidly
increasing IN America. Ever since
the discovery OF the continent there
have been vast tracts OF unoccupled
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filled up the
continent. and all the land worth tiIs-
Ing Is under ownership. We are do
ing much by irrigation to reclaim the
arid lands, but these are rapidly filed
up as soon as they are made tillable.
Relieyed Of the pressure OF vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise.
and the value OF farm products will
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in Che commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
of farm products. no particular de-
crease In the cost of living; indeed,
It has increased, II measured BY
