FOREST FIRE

A fierce forest fire swept the ridge
east of the hospital for the insane
Monday afternoon.
The fire, which it is thought, was
caused by a passing train, broke out
about three O'Clock just south of the P
81 r. track, opposite the Odd Fellows
cemetery. Owing to the dry condition
of things and famed by brisk wind
the fire spread rapidly, in a short time
sweeping the ridge from base to sum
nit and filling the sky with dense
clouds of smoke.
The burning tract adjoined the hos
pitai land and there was great danger
of the fire communicating. a number
of hospital employees were at once sent
to fight the fire; these with the aid of
others finally succeeded i'll cutting off
the advance of the flames and in due
time the fire burned out. A good deal
of young timber was destroyed

GRADING THE BANK

The D. l.. &5 w. Railroad company
has begun work on very fine i'm
provement along its track in the vic
unity of the hospital for the insane,
which will cause the spot to conform
with the beauty of the general sur
roundings.
On the southern side of the track
from the entrance of the grounds west
ward the bank is being very neatly
graded The intention is to SOW grass
seed all along the track where the
ground is dug up. The appearance is
already much improved, but short
time later, when the grass begins to
grow, the spot Will hardly be recogniH-
able.
The hospital authorities by laying a
concrete walk from the trolley term
linus to the gate house have added a
great deal to appearances as well as
contributing to the convenience of the
public. As an additional Improvement
they have planted along side the walk
IL row of privet, which i'll due time
will grow into an attractive hedge.

RECOMMENDS
SPL|T-LOG DRAG

Postmaster W. l.. Gouger has receiv-
ed communication from the fourth
postmaster general having a direct
bearing on the subject of good roads
The split-log drag is recommended for
use and it is made clear that, if the
roads on the rural routes are not kept
in proper condition, the free delivery
of mail will be discontinued.
The communication explains that as
the result of general and special let
ters sent out by the department. the
fact has been discovered that there are
many localities where road conditions
are bad and improvements are impera-
tive.
Postmaster Gouger is directed to in.
form himself ON the condition of the
roads and bridges on the rural routes
out of his Office; if he finds any of
these in bad condition he is directed
to present the matter in the strongest
and most positive way to the patrons
aud the road officials. If after rea-
souable time has elapsed the improve
ments have not been made or started
the postmaster is to report the fact to
the office of the fourth postmaster gen
eral, when action will be taken look
ing to discoutinuance of the service.
The department, the communication
states, is not Immediately concerned
II, ola Iorotn rnaJ i,,,rrovar,on+, I,,t
in the interest of the service it insists
upon the roads being kept in good re-
pair, the lack of which, it is explain
ed, is usually due to improper drainage
and unsuitable grading and surface
work. In this connection the split-log
drag is referred to as device by
which good results in drainage, grad
ing and surface work can be easily and
cheaply accomplished.
An accompanying communication
informs the postmaster that it is the
desire of the department that the pat
rons of the rural delivery paint their
boxes and the posts to which they are
attached pure white color. This will
not only protect the box and post from
damage by the weather, but will also
give all boxes uniform color and
serve to fix their identity in all parts
of the country as United States mail
boxes. The patrons name and box
number is to be imprinted in black
block letters about two inches high.

THE FARMER
AND THE AUTO

The number of automobiles owned
by farmers is growing rapidly. The
Travel Magazine says out of 10000
automobiles in Iowa. 5000, are owned
by farmers. Kansas farmers spent So,
200. 600 for automobiles during 1903, and
81, $50, 900 in 1908 In one Nebraska
town of 500 population, forty automo-
biles were sold last year to farmers
near the town and retired farmers in
the town. Careful estimates of
farmers in the entire United States is
76, 000 Nowadays there is no more
cry about lack of opportunity on the
farm Sixteen automobile makers are
advertising automobiles to the farmer
i'll the 450 farm papers i'll the country,
and most of them are arguing that the
automobile will keep the boy on the
farm, and make life more livable for
the wife, whose dreary round of labor
has been the pity of the country. Now
the farmer with an automobile can
take his family for an evening call, or
lecture, without using his horses. He
can go to church on Sunday more reg
ularly, he can visit distant relatives
and friends more frequently; he can
go to town oftener and more quickly.
There are 4S,0O0,OO0 people living ON
farms and in towns of less than i, 900
in this country. This means that over
half of our population is practically
in the country. About $4,000, 600 of
these are young people, and they are
just as keen for pleasure as young peo-
pie anywhere else. That is one big
reason for the automobile on the farm.
Ten or fifteen years ago farmers bought
organs for their daughters and buggies
for their sons. A great many of them
are today buying automobiles for the
whole family. An entirely new mean
ing has been given to the village soci-
al life in consequence.

SHENANDOAH IS
GETTING READY

Judging from the number of people
who expect to have electric displays
in front of their residences and bust
ness places during the week of the
Six-County tiromen's convention in
June, the electric light companies will
be taxed to their utmost to supply the
necessary illumination.
While many are of the opinion that
there will be but one "big day." they
may be agreeably mistaken, as already
a number of business men are quietly
soliciting subscriptions to be offered
as prizes for the other pa1ades which
will be held that week. 1t is intended
to have Marathon races, civic parades,
industrial and business mems demon
strations. The merchants, who are ar
ranging to have strong organization
will, in short time, make known
their plans. They want the co-opera-
tion of everybody in making the week
the greatest in the history of the town.
1t will not, however, in any way in
terfere with the firemen or their par
ade, but on the other hand will con-
tribute to the success of the conven-
tiou.
Chief Burgess Strolis is preparing
his speech of welcome to the firemen
and already has the key to the city
ready to turn over to the fire fighters,
who will be afforded every courtesy
Everybody will join the local firemen
and also the borough authorities in
making Firemen's Week" one long
to be remembered.
Expert decorators from the various
cities will be here early and by the
time the firemen arrive the city will
be in gala attire. 1t is the intention of
the fremen to urge that every home
and business place in the town be de-
corated. There will be arches erected
in the business sections and nothing
will be left undone to do honor to the
occasion.
Hundreds of former residents will be
here that week, Judging from the many
who are arranging to come.
Some who had planned to come to
town during the holidays of Christmas
and Easter have deferred the trip un-
til Firemen's Week, so that grand
reunion of former townspeople will
be feature of the gathering. Many
firemen who have removed from here
will take part in the festivities.
Let everybody enter heartily into
the occasion and Shenandoah will
