Logan-The business men of Logan
and farmers residing along the line of

road. Some organized effort will be
made here to do this community's
proper share in building and marking
the road The business men are tax,
ing the matter up very earnestly.
Woodbine Is Interested.
Woodbine-Everybody here is in

be outlined soon for active co-opera-
ton in the building of the road.
Carroll on the Line.
Carroll-While no official action has
been taken here, there is much inter-

if it could be done legally a tax would
be voted.
Glidden-The people of Glidden and
vicinity, especially those owning auto

TO KEEP TRACK
PARCELP0ST MAIL
Every Package Received or Forward
ed Must Be Listed During the
Two Weeks Period.
ZONES, WEIGHT AND POSTAGE
Believed Department ContempIates
Reduction in Rates or Increase in
the Service As Result.

A count of every piece of parcel
post mail received and dispatched
with classification of zones, weights
and amount of postage required, will
be conducted in every postoffice in the
country during the first two weeks Of
October. Notice to this effect has been
received by Postmaster Alfred Wright
While the order does not explain
the purpose of the count. it is believed
that the data collected will form a
basis for a material reduction in rates
and perhaps an enlargement of tie
character of the business to he
handled The data will enable the
postoffice department to accurately &c
termine whether the parcel post IS
making or losing money.
The postoifice will be required to
keep a record of every package re-
ceived here, the zone from which 1t
came, the weight in ounces up to one
pound and in pounds thereafter and
the amount of postage paid thereon,
and a similar record on outgoing pack
ages. The data thus secured during
the two weeks will be tabulated and
forwarded to the department at Wall
ington.
The order applies to every postoftice
in the country from the small fourth
class office to those in the large cities.
1t is expected that by means of the
count every piece OF parcel post mali
handled during the two weeks will
have been enumerated.
Rural Route Counting.
Every piece of mail on all the rur-
al routes out of Denison, as well as
every other place in the country, is to
be counted during the months of o.
tober and November. The reports o.
the rural carriers for each day during
the two months must specify the NUM-
Der of pieces, the weight and the total
postage paid on every class of mail
first, second, third and the parcel post
For the past three years the depart
ment at Washington has required thar
a rigid and exact count be made OF
all mail on the rural routes during
the months of October and November.
and this custom is being followed this
year. 1t is by means of these reports
that the postal authorities are Ell
abled to secure data on the rural de-
livery system as whole. as we'll as
the service rendered by each indiv,d-
ual carrier.

Much CREDIT DUE
PRESIDENT C0AN

Establishing Lincoln Highway
Across the Continent.
VERY PROMINENT ROAD BOOSTER
Over the Lincoln Highway and
Are Raising Money.

The following is of local interest
and is clipped from the Clinton Her.
aid. Mr.. Coan is known to many
Crawford county people who have
worked with him in the good roads
movement and know that the article
is about true:
A prominent road booster, we'll &C.
quainted with the road systems in
Iowa and all adjoining states, is in the
city on business this week. He is an
admirer of w. F. Coan, of Clinton
Iowa state counsel for the Lincoln
Highway association, president of the
Iowa Official Transcontinental route
association and general chairman Of
the Overland trail.
Mr. Coan has worked in syste-
matte. quiet way" said the booster
There has been no four-flushing BY
him. He has come in contact with
the leading authorities of the whole
route and spent an immense amount
of time and money Mr.. Coan was
always impressed with the idea that
the Transcontinental route was the
old Overland trail and that it was Tie
best kept road in the state before the
general boosting of roads commenced.
Through his efforts in publishing
great many pamphlets, signs ard
illustrations made the route known
all over the country. He has been I'M
firing in his work in the organization
of the Transcontinental route, in stir
ring up the members to activity in all
the different counties. He further
came in contact with the North Platte
Overland trail association and in con
tact with people as far west as
Cheyenne and San Francisco. HIS
steady, quiet. conscientious work in
boosting made the route the Lincoln
highway.
VERY few people now recognize
what the Lincoln highway means 20
Clinton. Mr.. Coan deserves banquet
and brass band serenade. He de-
serves all possible credit.
While there can be no changes
made on the Lincoln highway now for
the reason that the road was selected
only after very careful investigation
in the field and the people connected
with the association, with national
regulations, omitted towns like Cleve-
land. Toledo and even Chicago, going
only to Chicago Heights, showing they

Warner Temple, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
| w. r. Temple, of this place, who left
DenisOn a year ago to join the United
States navy, is now in China. Mr..
Temple received a long letter from
his son on September Goth, written
from Nan King, China. in which he
tells of the war which is in progress
there Mr. Temple kindly loaned the
letter to the Review for publication,
thinking that readers might be inter-
ested in conditions in that far off land.
The letter is as follows:
Nan King, China, Aug. 24,.1913.
Dear Father and Mother:
Today is Sunday and we are still up
the river where we cannot 90 to
church or ashore either, because of
che war that is now on and has been
tor a month or more. Outside Of the
town about five miles are two hills;
one is called Tiger Hill and the other
Lion. On these the Southerns are To-
Gated and across the river among the
other hills aer the northerns. Today
the Chinese fleet is expected in, then
I expect we will see some real war
fare Since We have been up here
they have been doing almost all of
their fighting with big guns; there
hasn't been much close fighting where
they could use the rifles. But it sure
is funny warfare: they fight awhile
and then quit and wait for each 9th
err to start the ball to rolling again.
If we had been carrying on this war
here at this particular place We would
have had this place long ago. l.
would have cost lots of lives, but
nevertheless we would have had it
just the same. But | think the North
ems will win out because they are so
much better shots than the SOntherns.
because when they shoot they place
almost all their shots right up there
on the hill where the Southerns are
located. When they fire at night We
can see the shells burst. They have
been using shrapnells which are a
shell that has a time fire in them.
These are shot up above the enemy,
bursting just above them anu nine
times out Of ten, if they are; timed
right they will kill a great number
of men. They are not a solid shell,
but one that is filled with little, round
balls and sometimes pieces Of iron

FooTNoTEs OF BELFAST HISTORY The re-

the garnet of the Dickerson house Cedar
street proved so interesting to the lady into
whose possession it came that it suggested
the saving in permanent form of the material
therein contained relative to the Belfast La

gave the suggestion for the pamphlet entitled
"Footnotes of Belfast History" which is to be
on sale by the ladies of the North church at
their fair August 9Th. Other articles in the
pamphlet will be on 1.-The Academy" "The
Belfast High school, and 1.-THE North Church
