highways, which means the advance
of every kind of progress, ease in mar
keting crops, in social intercourse, in
much that goes to make up a pros
porous, comfortable country life. From
report just published, it appears
that there are now in operation in the
Southern States alone almost ten
thousand rural routes, or about "A per
cent Of the total number Of routes in
operation, which cover 237 1869 miles
of roads. These routes, which cost
the government total Of $8,549,218
per anrfhm to maintain, are divided
among the states as follows: Ala
bama, $40; Arkansas, 344; Florida,
40; Georgia, 1888; Louisiana, lis;
Mississippi, 625; North Carolina, l.
245; South Carolina, 700; Tennessee,
1,571; Texas, 1,745, and Virginia, $50
In these states rural delivery has been
organized on a full county basis, in
eighty-nine counties, and is contem-
plated IN Other counties as soon as 1t
can be arranged.
The lowest estimate Of the people
served by the R. F. ID. is 18,000,000.
This is but the beginning. There is
every hope of getting a Parcels Post
bill through congress at no distant
day. which will be merely an extern
sion Of the benefits Of the mail serv-
ice, economizing the cost to the gov
eminent and vastly aiding the people.
With Platte out of the Senate the
greatest foe to the Parcels Post will
be eliminated, and it is known that
Eihu ROOF strongly favors the meas
ure. For all the service we now en-
joy-and the incalculable benefits to
come in future years, we are indebted
to Thos. K. Watson.

mittee appointed to investigate the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railway Company by the U.
S. Steel Company, and that Attorney
General Bonaparte will be strongly
cited to his duty to proceed against
the trust for its violation of the Sher-
man law. 1t will be remembered that
when Messrs. Gary and Prick called
upon the President prior to this mer-
ger, they placed themselves in the at
titude of philanthropists who were
willing to abate the panic by going to
the rescue Of a certain then unnamed
concern in New York, which would
be wrecked unless they did so, and in
whose ruin many other interests would
be involved. 1t seems strange that
this half confidence should have been
offered, and stranger still that it was
accepted and that Mr.. Roosevelt al
lowed himself to be led into the
scheme to such an extent that he
practically ordered the Attorney Gen
eral to ignore the violation Of the
law, in view Of the benevolent (?)
motive. All the details have been dis
cussed in The Jeffersonian, but for
some time the investigation Jagged
and fribbled away the time on mere
technical objections, remote from the
actual issue. Now it appears they are
going to get down to business and, if
SO, the Steel Trust may possibly learn
that the executive does not constitute
the only authority in the land.

Removed. pendent, IS said to have
been the man who first
pointed out to Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Knox
and the other leading limbs of the
law the fact that Philander c.. Knox
was ineligible to the position of Secre-
tary of State, under the fundamental
provision of paragraph 2, section VI,
first article Of that almost obsolete
certainly very musty, rusty document,
the .. S. Constitution, which prevents,
a Senator from taking any office which
he voted to create, or in which he
voted to have the salary increased.
Philander c. Knox had voted to
increase the pay Of the Secretary
OF State and so was in a predicament.
However, the house of representatives
kindly passed law excepting the of
flee OF Secretary of State from the
provisions OF the law which in 1907
increased the salary of all the cabi-
net officers. Wherefore, Mr. Knox
may now accept the appointment, at
diminished pay, and, in the language
of Mr. Taft, save the public from "a
distinct misfortune" and himself from
=" lnexpressibly great disappointment "
But the blunder, SO amiably and clum-
silly repaired, does not speak over
we'll for the qualifications of Mr..
Knox for the position. Perhaps, how
ever, it may lead him to read over the
Constitution again, which he doubt
less scanned, together with the Decla-
ration of Independence, during his
boyhood's happy days. We assure
him, as per book review parlance, that
it will "repay a careful perusal."

morning. Both buildings with their contents are total loss. The confagration was the most disas- trous in the history of the shelter town. The loss is estimated at S35,000, partially covered by insur- ance. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
 Courtland Arizonan; The firm of Burgoon & Clark, put in new showcase Wednesday in their pop ular furnishing goods store in Cen. ter Courtland. This firm while new in the city, are building up a splendid trade and by fair dealing, hope to increase their business with the growth of the camp. The Ma vajo Fuel Co.,, of which E. N. Wood, is general manager, have an office in this store and are doing a fine business in the coal line.
 Arizona Silver Belt: Buried deep in the ground, with a quantity of very high grade gold ore surround ing it. the skeleton of a man of large stature was unearthed in the Tonto district a few days ago by $. A. Eagles, who reported his strange find in this city yesterday. The ore is very rich and has the appearance of having been mined, prior to the time it was deposited around the body whose bones were unearthed. How the body hap pened to be buried in the rich min eral rock is a mystery which can- not be explained. If the bones could tell of the strange fate of the man long since buried, it is pro- bable that the mysterious dis appearance of one of many pros pectors who have started forth in search of natures treasure, never to be heard of again, would be cleared up. With nothing to show who the dead man has been, much less to explain the manner of his death and strange burial, the mys- tery in the present case will pro- Oably never be cleared up.
 Courtland Arizonan: Last week an article went the rounds of the territorial press which stated that somewhere in the vicinity of the city of Courtland a counterfeiting plant was in full operation. There has been in the last four months, some "phony" money circulated in this camp, but this has been true of other points in the territory. Some people who have discussed the question believe that the spur ious money is being made some where in Mexico or by Mexicans for it is such poor imitation and will only pass in the dark or when given out in change in a hurry with handful of good coin. Local officials have on a few occasions made arrests of Mexicans who had a few pieces of bad money in their
