Grating in the county and extend
ing from this city to Paulina,
Crook County, and also from

The Times-llerald understands
it is the intention Of the new cor
poration now being formed to
first build from Burns to Lawen,
thus connecting the lines and
covering "A large territory of this
county They will then take up
the proposition Of making desira-
blc connections with long dis
tancc lines on the outside and
giving Harney county another
and it is to be hoped more sat
isfartory service. With only one
long distance service now in OPP
Grafton it is almost impossible to
get satisfactory service. The
condition of the present line is
not good and the line was built
on rather a cheap order making
III necessary for long distance

repeated In this manner it is
an exception if a message reach

ed and carry a heavy wire. They

TALKS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Mr. Bennett yesterday talked
for three-quarters of an hour to
the public school, the fifth to
eighth grades being present, his
subject being postal affairs.
Mr. Bennett is president Of the
State association of postmasters
Of the fourth-class offices, and
has visited the schools in num-
ber of towns and cities in the
State, and his talk is very inter-
esting,
1t is a fact that if the youth of
the country could be educated up

ting the name and address of the
writer in the upper left hand
corner Of the envelope that the
saving to the government would
be a vast amount each year, and

Mr.. Bennett explained this and
many other matters, kept his au-
dience interested from start to
finish, and no doubt the pupils
will profit by what he told them.
The thanks of the students and
parents are due to Prof. Ray
mond, who arranged for the
matter, which did not break in
upon the regular studies or reci-
tations of the scholars.
