Of Interest to Rural Routes.

The Post Office Department at
Washington has addressed the
following letter to the severa
Post Masters throughout the
country whose offices are term
inals for rural routes with request
that as much publicity as posi-
bic be made of same. For inform
alton of the Interested III this
parish, We give the letter below:
From a recent count made by ru-
raj carriers in one of the counties in
the State of New York of coins de-
posted by patrons in theirboxes for
the purchase of stamp supplies, it
was found that each carrier in the
county was collecting an average OF
115 one-cent coins each week.
This average applied to all the
routes in operation throughout the
country would give the enormous
total of about 800, 100000 one-cent
coins.
As most of these coins are deposi-
ted loose in boxes, it is desirable
that you and the rural carriers, in
tactful and polite way, put forth
your best efforts to induce patrons
to provide themselves with stamp
supplies in advance of their needs,
and to equip their boxes with suit
able coin-holding resceptacles. 1t
should be explained to patrons that
the picking of loose coins from
boxes not only results in needless
hardship and sufferingto carriers in
winter weather, delays the delivery
and collection of the mails, but
frequently results in actual money
loss to the carriers, for if, in collect
ing coins from boxes, they drop
them into the snow or on the
ground without recovery, they are
required to replace the amount out
OF their own funds.

OF the six saloons in Tensas par

and will continue business this year.
The saloons in the parish are: New
elton, L. Elgutter and L. de Vries;
St. Joseph. E. Mayer and F. A.
DeMarco; Waterproof, M. L. Bur-
ton and F. Massony & Bro. Due
no doubt to the very respectable
manner in which these gentlemen
conduct their places Of business
there was scarcely a single disturb
ance during the recent holidays,
unlike. a number of so-called dry
towns, Crowley, La. for instance,
and even points nearer home, where
disorder and drunkenness were in
evidence on every hand, accom-
panied in some instances by crime,
ali largely resultant from inferior
grades of whiskey secured by ex-
press from neighboring towns, or,
more probable, bought at home
where sale Of liquor is prohibited
by law. All Of which only adds
greater strength to the theory that
high license and well conducted
houses with sufficient police surveil-
lance is decidedly the better method
Of controlling the use and consump-
ton Of liquor by the human race.

Owing to the fact that a number
Of dogs in and and about the town
of St. Joseph were some three weeks
ago bitten by a dog that afterwards
died Of hydrophobia, the health au-
thorities have issued an order that
all dogs found running loose on the

order will remain in effect until
further notice by the Health Board.
That such an order was necessary
and eminently proper is too self-ev-
ident to need discussion. AS to the
length OF time that such an order
should remain in effect it may be

$4,000 WORTH

Seattle, on the steamship Humboldt,

tanned it.
Discovery OF the theft was announc-
ed today. The stolen gold weighed
$50 pounds. When IL left Fairbanks
on Youkon River steamer for Daw-
son and White Horse, the gold was
contained in three wooden boxes and
was in the care OF the Alaska Pacific
Express Company. When the boxes
were opened by Canadian custom Off.
GERS at Dawson the golden bars were
found to be as stated in the express
companys papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States Assay Office in Seattle
on Fiday, and the theft was discov-
cred.
1t is supposed that the gold was sto-
len on the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse, or on the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. The gold was in the pur-
ser's cabin.
Detectives working on the case say
they have no clue. The robbery was
