Sudden Death
Of Joe Albert

Joe Albert. a harness maker. who
has been employed at different farms
IN this Valley for the past several
years. died at VALLEY Springs yester-
day morning. and his death was prob
ably due to excessive use of liquors.
He dad been drinking quite heavily of
'ate. and went over to the springs
Tuesday to sober up.
Very little of the mans past life
is known to his associates here. A
search of his belongings failed to re-
veal any information regarding his
family. He came to this country
from Australia and was engaged in
business at San Francisco before the
big earthquake and fire. He is of
English birth and left that country
through compnlsion. but never told
the cause of his exile.

his home at Genoa, New. for the pur-
pose OF getting his business affairs In
shape. Mr.. Rayeraft's intention, as
he expressed II, Is TO come back to Elk
Grove, With brother and nephew,
invest In property and pass his de-
elining days In this sun-kissed land.
Mr.. Raycraft is gentlemen well
worth knowing. lie came from lii
nois to Nevada when that wonderful
western country was territory. He
drove stage on the Ginmer Il Sails
bury stage line. and ran on that
route for years with Hank Monk,
who had the distinction of carrying
Horace Greeley into Placerville when
that celebrity first visited the Pacific
Coast.
Hank was carrying Horace into
Placerville.Th road was awfully
rough. Greeley had an engagement
To speak in the El Dorado county
seat that night and confided to Monk
the fear that he might disappoint his
audience.
When they were hitting tile high
and Jagged places on the rout. Greel-
ey reached forward from the front
seat of the coach where he had been
clinging like death. and told Hank
that he was not over anxious To

Many Complaints
Are Heard
Mail Route Between Gardnersiile and
Southern Points Greatly Needed
B, General Public

Seldom Il day passes that complaint
Is not heard because of the postal de-
partment's attitude In disseminating
the mail stage between Gardnerville
and points In Mono county and Smith
Valley. Travellers arrive on the train
expecting 10 take the stage TO Bridge
port, Wellington or other southern
points, only to find after their arrival
here, that the stage line has been dis
continued. Mail facilities between
Gardneryille and Wellington, IA dis
tanee of 30 miles, are such that 1t re-
quires three days for mail to reach the
la ter place. The reason for this Is
that all mail for Wellington and
points in Mono county, must go by
way of Carson and Wabuska This
deplorable state of affairs, greatly
hamper business relations between
the people of these communities.
Ii is an nndeniable fact that the
Gardnerville route is the natural gate
recognized as such by all, excepting
the postal department, and why this
mail route was discontinued, Is be-
yond the conception of all residents
of the districts SO effected. The busi-
ness men of Nlinden, Gardnerville,
Wellington and other places most
urgently appealed to the department,
as well as to our representatives In
congress to reestablish this import
ant and needful Star route This oc-
