Elsewhere in this issue Of the PRESS
appears an exhaustive article on the
parcels post law which goes into effect
the first Of next month. The article is
carefully prepared aud covers accurately
many points of interest in connection
with the new system of delivery of
packages which the government Is in
aueuratine. 1t Is likely that it will be
a year or two al least before the system
is in good working order in all parts of
the United States. What is to be done
in the way of securing storage for pack
ages in the Offices that are already
crowded is problem yet to be worked
out. 1t is expected that giving the
country parcels post service will create
a deficit of many millions on the start
but in the end the service, as our 9ov-
eminent will manage. will be worth it,
giving the people uncalculable beneftts
that are not at present enjoyed. For a
time the express companies will be in
q position. in some places, to give the
best service. In fact these companies
believe that they will be able to deliver
packages in cities the size of Oickin-
son much more promptly than Uncle
Sam can do it. The express rates will
likely be lowered about IS per cent and
that in itself will be worth great deal
to the people.

1t was found last week that Bowman
county did not have a legally drawn
grand and petit jury, in consequence of
which Judge w. c. Crawford dis
charged the men who had been summon
ed for jury duty. The motion for the
dismissal of the jury was made by
Paul BoelIm of Hettinger. attorney for
George A. Totten of the Bowman Cit
izen. This put the criminal cases over
the term, including the two against Ed
itor Totten. for the prosecution of which
Attorney w. F. Burnett of Dickinson
had been specially appointed. E. P.
Totten, brother of Publisher Totten,
is states attorney in Bowman county,
and the Bowmen Pioneer says that he
neglected his duty in not seeing that
the jury was legally drawn. The county
was put to a good many hundred dol
lars of needless expense and it looks
very much as though the people would
be inclined to blame the Tottens for q
portion at least.

mentioned in this paper last week.

Until the first of this week the star
mail route from Haley. has connected
with the Milwaukee at Scranton. The
government has now changed the route
to Gascoyne and the Scranton people are
disappointed. Gascoyne is two miles
cas- of due north of Haley. while Scran
ton is that much due west of Haley,
the home of the Curries. The new rou te
as adopted by the government is two or
three miles shorter and according to
the Gascoyne authorities accommodates
more people who wish to get their mail
on the route. The running schedule fo1
the IL miles is a little more than
two hours. the stage leaving Haley at
about ii O'Clock a. m. and returning
