WHO WANTS A BUFFALO?

Every once in a while an effort is
made by the representatives of the es-
tate of Scotty Philips, deceased, to dis
pose of the great Scotty Philips herd of
buffaloes. There are AGO animals in
the herd, 200 Of them being mature
bulls and cows. They are offered at a
price averaging about $780, Stock
buyers Of Chicago and Sioux City and
bankers from Gettysburg and Pierre, S.
D. are back of the movement to sell
this herd at fancy price. Efforts
have been made to induce the state
authorities of North and South Dakota
and other states and the authorities
in Canada to buy the herd or at least
a large portion of it. All these efforts
have so far Nailed. The largest number
the representatives have been able to
sell up to date were about 20 or 80
head which were purchased by the SAM
tarium authorities at Hot Springs, S. D.
There seems to be very little demand
for buffaloes. Quite number of half
bloods have been sold in the Chicago
markets for beef for less than is paid
for range fed beef cattle.
The nucleus for the Scotty Philips
herd was bought quite a number Of
years ago from the Dupree estate for
SIS a head, calves thrown in. This
herd is now being taken care Of on a
1900 acre tract Of land west Of the Mis-
souri, river near 1t. Pierre which MI.
Philips received from the government ~, ii
as her allotment Of Indian lands. AZ

DEAD LETTER OFFICE ABOLISHED


The dead letter department in the
postal department in Washington il
no more. The last auction sale of old
letters and parcels was held and 81
500 realized; eighty employees were
discharged or transferred elsewhere
and the business is conducted more
efficiently.
The office was really abolished be-
cause of the big increase in the leg
Utility of the addresses on mailed pack
ages and the big decrease in lost mail,
and because letters directed to persons
that cannot be found are more speedily
disposed of through the help of opening
machines and quick clerks.
But while the dead letter office is
to be abolished here the misdirected
pieces of mail matter in the future
are to be distributed to fifteen cities
throughout the country. For instance,
if letter is mailed from Springfield,
Ohio, to Albany, N. Y, and the adj
dress is correct and there is no return
card on the envelope the letter will be
sent to Chicago where it will be opened.
If information as to the name Of the
sender is written therein the letter will
be forwarded back to Springfield.
To Benjamin Franklin probably be-
longs the distinction of starting the
dead letter office. When the seat Of
the Federal government was in Phila-
delphia Franklin had a bureau where
misdirected letters we're examined. The
dead letter. office was established in
1925. Before 1860 few detailed records
were kept Of the receipts of the dead
letter office although one old book
in the department showed that in 1880
there were $4,000 letters referred to
that bureau. In 1859, in response to
Senate resolution the Postmaster
General reported that receipts Of parcels
and letters for the year numbered
100000.
In 1879 there were twenty-nine men
and SO women employed in this bureau
and the Office was mentioned as a
model of industry and efficiency"
Last year the force consisted Of about
$50 persons and more than 100000
pieces of mail were handled. Most
of it was returned to the senders.

left his home and came to California,

MIR. Waibel first became a member
of the local fire department in 1886 as
driver of Eureka Hose No. L.. He re-
signed 10 months later and changed his
residence for the benefit of his wife's
health. He was appointed to, the de-
partment second time in 1893, when
he became driver of engine No. / on
Third street.
He quit the department again.. after
six years service, and took to stock
raising on an extensive scale. east, of
Mt. Hamilton. Subsequent to finally
leaving the department his time had
been divided between. his ranch and
the position of foreman of construction
at Alum Rock, where he had charge of
extensive improvements made under the
recent municipal bond issue, including
the building of the new upper road into
the canyon. i ,ss NJ s.:.4
He was IAN expert roadbuilder and
was ,roadmaster under various super
visors of the county. One of his first
efforts: in this direction was the CON
struction of the Penetencia creek road
into Alum Rock park MISREPRESENTATION.
The passing Of Mr.. Waibel means the
loss Of a citizen of a type most valuable!
to any cummunity industrious, honest
conscientious, interested in public affairs,
devoted to his family, hospitable and
kind, His friends were legion and they
sympathize keenly with the bereaved
family.
Mr.. Waibel is survived by a widow

holiday tour Monday morning, the
tour to include such towns as Luverne,
Pipestone, Marshall, Worthington and
New Ulm. New Ulm will be visited
Saturday evening, January End, and
from here the players will return to
their school duties at Minneapolis.
This year the Cast includes Albert
Thiely, Roger Kennedy, George Prudden,
Donald Wilson, Walter Spriggs, Howard
Dykman, Raymond Gruetzmacher,
Martha Wolff, Ora Hyde, Marjorie Mix,
Helen Futile and Florence Sharkey.
The play which they are offering is ''The
Professors Love Story" a delightful
Comedy by Sir James Barrie, author Of
The LittleMinister" and other successes.
'The Professors Love Story is now
being played in London and that it isss
piece Of extraordinary merit may be
judged from the fact that the famous
English actor, E. S. Willard, will use it
as the vehicle for farewell tour of this
country next season.
Pres. Vincent and DR.. Burton, the
dramatic critic, have highly endorsed
the work Of the Masquers' Club in the
years offering so that those of our.
people who attend the performance
Saturday may rest assured Of an evening
of rare enjoyment. AS one reviewer
said of the playSit offers "a laugh in
every incident and a roar in every act.
"THE CALL OF THE CUMBER-
LANDS"
4 Hugo B. Koch, that versatile artist,
who on various occasions, particularly
as the mysterious butler in "A House
Of Thousand Candles and, as the
printer; in Harold Bell Wright's ''That
Printer Of Udell's," has left with New
Ulm theatre goers delightful impressions
Of his work, Is coming again this season
with another Characterization, entirely
different from those with which We are
familiar. yet one equally strong and
exacting. I'm The Call ofsthes Gumber
lands" Mr.. Koch is said to assert
himself in his fullest artistic equipment.
1t is a piece which he has dramatized
himself, from scenes and incidents that
permit Of sensational and emotional
climaxes, but, let it be said to his credit,
that nowhere throughout the action Of
the play has he sacrificed art to the glory
of Mr.. Koch. Neither has he centered
all the light upon himself to the exclusion
of the less important characters. There
are many such in the play and Mr..
Koch in his dramatization has made
them interesting to the greatest degree.
In the hands of capable players they
round out a piece that is sure to make
friends everywhere. 'The Call of the
Cumberlands' ;, will be the offering at the
Turner Theatre on Thursday evening,
January 7th.
