What Richards Said

In letter sent out from the head
quarters of the campaign committee of
the republican primary organization,
dated at Huron, December 1st., 1909,
r. o. Richards says over his signature:
"The last two administrations have in
creased our floating debt about three
quarters of million dollars in spite of
increased assessments and taxes; simply
because of weakness on the part of the
Governor in failing to veto appropria-
ton bills. On January 1st, 1907, the
floating debt was $199, 100. &c; on Nov
ember LIST, 1909, was 1916, O20. 49,"

Roy Irwin Improving.

Last Saturday word was received in
this city from the hospital at Cakes
that all hopes for the recovery of Roy
Irwin had been abandoned and his death
was momentarily expected. But later
he rallied and there was a pronounced
change for the better, and at this writ
ing it is thought the crisis has been
passed. Those in attendance report
great improvement in his condition and
a good prospect for his ultimate recov-
cry. This will be welcome news to
Roy's many friends in Day county.

The following item taken from the

former Webster boys: John Kelly,
who has been employed in the compos-
ing department of the State Publishing
company, has resigned and left last
Saturday afternoon for Hecla where he
and his brother, Charles, will open a
drug store. The latter is well known
here, having been employed at H. M.
Straight's pharmacy for two years.
Both young men are enterprising and
energetic and have hosts of friends
here who wish for them success"
With due apologies to the sage and
self-appointed expert upon matrimonial
and family affair. Editor Bronson OF
the World, for mixing in family affairs,
we would like To state that the above
mentioned young men are former Web
ster boys, John having learned the
printers art in the World office. They
are sons of Mrs. John Kelly of this
city and were always popular among
Webster young people. The Reporter

in wishing them prosperity in tieir new

Let Fred Do II.

Col. F. H. Russell, the lightning rod
artist, has been devoting considerable
time lately to the study of astronomical
science, and now predicts that Halley's
comet will collide with the world on
May %. If collision is imminent we
would suggest that Fred be used as a
buffer to prevent any serious damage
to our terrestrial sphere. We predict
that if the comet tries one round with
Fred it will back off, and the next time
it attempts to butt in" will make sure
of hitting something not quite SO tough.

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY
Rural Route Patrons Must Mair
tain Good Roads.

Postmaster c. w. Siglinger has re-
ceived the following communication
from the Post Office Department which
rural route patrons will do well to read:
GAS a result of general and special
letters sent out by the Department, and
the cooperation of postmasters and
carriers, there has been a great i'm
provement in the highways on which
rural routes are established. There are,
however, many localities where road
conditions are bad and improvements
imperative.
"You are directed to inform yourself
with reference to the condition of roads
and bridges on the rural routes out OF
your office, and if you find that they
require improvement you should pre-
sent the matter in the strongest and
most positive way to the patrons and
road officials, informing them that inn
provements must be made as soon as
practicable. If, after reasonable time
has elapsed, the improvements have not
been made or started, you will report
the fact to this office in order that
action may be taken looking to the dis.
continuance of the service.
1.-The Department is not Immediately
concerned in elaborate road improve
ments, but in the interest of the best
service to the largest number of pat
rons, it must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack of which
is usually due to improper drainage,
and unsuitable grading and surface
work, which can be easily and cheaply
accomplished by timely work and the
reguler use of the split-log drag or sim
liar device.
Respectfully,
Fourth Asst Postmaster General.
