Awaiting News From Butte.

Il was an anxious lot Of players that
awaited word from Butte last evening as
10 what would be the final fate Of the
IutermOuntain league. Nor were the
PLAYERS alone interested, as many Of the
fans called up TO know whether we are
going to have any more baseball Pri-
vate dispatches brought nothing definite,
and none of the managers could give this
information until after the meeting.
Locally there is a strong sentiment in
favor of a Salt Lake-Ogden league for the
rest OF the year. If this could be or
EaiZed Salt Lake could keep its present
popular team intact and there is no rea-
son why better baseball than has been
seen this year would not result. With
Dad Gimlin in Ogden, with Bill Hansen,
WessleT, Maggie Murphy and the pick of
the Butte and Boise teams to select from,
Ogden could throw a team together in
day that would make the Salt Lake pen
nant winners go some. Such a cOmbina-
ton would arouse the same interest mani
tested in 1901 when Salt Lake and Ogden
met In a twenty-five game series for a
side bet OF 81 O00 At that time the park
would hardly hold the crowds.

A Few Facts About Fur.

'"This is cat fur said a furrier eve
Use it for Innings. An excellent lining
cat fur makes, too. Dogs, calves, colts,
coons. opossulns, bats, rats, any ami
nal that wears fur, in fact, is salable
in the fur market. Bat hair is felted up
with other stuff into an imitation skin.
It is also used, I believe, in rope plait-
ing. The dog. the coon, and the opos-
sum yield a fur that, properly treated,
makes a very handsome lining Rat
skins are employed in certain delicate
repairs, and they also serve to form
the thumbs Of cheap gloves. A queer
thing about the fur business is that the
furs must be taken in the dead Of win
ter: the trapper must work under the
cs1lelist climatic conditions; only thus
IS the fur at its best. The dresser, Oh
the other hand, who could work best
in cold weather, must do all his work
IA the heat of summer, or otherwise he
would not be able to keep up with the
changing fashions"
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1909-02-19

This first governmental issue Of
stamped envelopes, stamped letter pa
per and adhesive labels or stamps in
England was in 1910. Three years be-
fore, IN 1887, stamped wrappers under
the name of ''go-frees" had been used
experimentally and had been recon-
mended to the chancellor OF the ex-
chequer for adoption by the govern
ment. In Dundee, a printer named
James Chalmers printed stamps from
ordinary type, washing their backs with
gum. He showed them to his neigh
bOrs, but made no public mention Of
them until November, 1887, nine months
after Sir Rowland Hill had drawn the
attention of the commissioners of the
postoffice to the possibilities Of using
such adhesive stamps when people
bought unstamped envelopes to the
postoffice.
The postal system derives its very
name from the posts placed along Ro-
man roads to mark points where court
ers took dispatches. But the modern
postal system with its prepaid postage,
with it's system of levying postal trib-
ute on the basis of weight and not dis
lance, its letter boxes, its delivery Of
parcels and newspapers and money or
ders, dates from Sir Rowland Hill.
The earliest official notice Of a postal
service in the American colonies is
found in the records Of the general
court of Massachusetts in 1859. The
house Of Richard Fairbanks in Boston
was under the ruling of the court desig
mated as the place for all letters
brought from across the seas or to be
sent thither. He was allowed a penny
for every letter which he received or
sent In Virginia, every planter was
required to provide messenger to car
~ letters as they arrived at his plan
tation to the next one. He forfeited
a hOgshead OF tobacco should he fail
to do so. In 1912, the government of
New York established a monthly post
between New York and Boston. In 1922
the office of postmaster general for
