EMBRACES NEW TERRITORY

White Owl, s. d., March 26.-Notices
are out calling for bids on a new mail
route which Is to supply a number of
the offices north and east of here. As
at present contemplated, the mail Will
be carried twice a week from Faith
to Advance, from there to Brushie,
Cooper and Marcus, and then back to
Faith by way Of Plainview, Zeal and
Spook. This will probably mean the
discontinuence Of the route from this
place to Brushie, which also serves
Cooper and Marcus. and also that of
the route from Pedro, which carries
mai to Plainview and Zeal. Spook and
Advance are small offices north of
Brushie, the mail being carried from
that place on stub routes. 1t is not
definitely known when the new service
is to start, but 1t will probably be be-
fore long. Stage driver Compton re-
ports that the Brushie office will be
discontinued May 1. a notice to that
effect having been posted there. This
has been anticipated for some time, as
1t has been impossible to secure anyone
