ESTIMATE OE POST
OFFICE EXPENSES.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 6.-Provi-
sion for the establishment of parcels
post and the transportation of mail
by aeroplane has been made by POST
master General Hitchcock in his an
nual estimates of postoffice depart
ment expenditures, submitted to the
treasury department today.
According TO there estimates the
appropriations necessary to meet the
expenses OF the postal service at large
during the coming fiscal year will be
$3.50, 1888, ,463, decrease of $2,5So, 740
oyer the appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal wear, or more than 1 per
cent, the smallest on record.
The most important of the new
items are those providing for par
cells post. They include $4,000 to
cover the preliminary expenses on
rural mail routes, and an equal ap-
preparation to start the service in the
cities.
The department believes that after
the initial expenses are betrayed and
the parcel post is in full operation on
the rural routes it will not only bring
in sufficient revenue to meet its cost,
but also surplus that can be utilized
in paying the parcels on The city de-
livery system.
An additional item of $50, 900 is in
cluded to cover an investigation hav-
ing for its object the final establish
ment of general parcels post on all
railway and steamboat transportation
routes. Mr.. Hitchcock is confident
that legislation authorizing parcels
post in some form will be made at the
coming session of congress.
Another item of $4,000 is for COW
ering experiments in the Transports
tion of mail by aeroplane. Mr.. Hitch
cock believes that under certain con-

A HOMESTEADER
SAVED BY A DOG.

Rapid City, Oct. Bert James, who
lives near Chalk Butte, was hunting
coyotes with dog which is crossed
with wolf and collie, recently, when
he crossed the land of homesteader
named Burgess. Hearing shouts from
over a small divide he spurred his
horse to the top and ..hore saw Bur-
CESS cornered in a fence with an an
cry bull paving the earth and threat
ening momentarily to attack him. Be-
fore James could reach Burgess and
drive the infuriated animal away his
dog took in the situation and rushing
upon the bull slezed him by the nose.
The bull thus attacked by the dog
gave up his intentions toward Bur-
CESS and started in to fight the dog.
Turning, the bull, with the dog still
clinging to his nose, started to run
but the weight of the dog bore his
head to the earth and one horn was
driven far into the ground. This up
set the equilibrium of the bull and he
fell, completely subdued.
The dog did not let go his hold on
The bulls nose until James and Bur-
CESS forcibly pulled him away from
the Frustrated animal.

Buy Your Alfalfa
Seed This Fall
BY Samuel Carver, Scientific Assistant,
State College, BroOklnes.

Farmers, buy your alfalfa seed this
fall or in early winter. BY getting your
seed this fall, you will get a better
quality of seed. You can definitely
learn the source of the seed and you
can demand pure seed of high germi-
mating power. AS it has been in the
past few years, the great demand for
alfalfa seed has been in early spring,
just before time of seeding. BY means
of this system, the farmer pays a
higher price than he needs to pay in
the fall, and, in addition, he generally
gets in such hurry to begin his seed

lature their demand for an investiga-
ton into the conduct OF the institu-

proval to the request, but added that
he hardly thought such action ncces-
sary. believing that the Legislature
would agree.
However. members of the General
Assembly do not look with favor on
the proposition. They arc averse to
putting the State to the expense of
an investigation. and to taking up the
time of the Legislature and It's COM
