their big game with Riverton-Palmyra

been scored on in four years, and for

including such men as the famous

MAIL BY FREIGHT
PROVES A SUCCESS

The Postofhce Department reports
that the transportation of second
class mails bv freight trains. in the
central States, which was begun on
September /, has proved a great sue
cess and it is calculated that the gov
ernment will be able to materially re-
duce the cost Of carrying this class OF
mail matter. The estimates of the
savings that will be accomplished are
given, however, in rather vague figur-
es. People in Nebraska who read
magazines published in New York are
said TO find the delay due to freight
transportation of not enough inn
portance to notice, or in some cases
perhaps not noticeable at all.
