Hon. II. H. Seldomridge,

Hon. IL. ii. SeldOmridge,
House of Representatives.
My Dear Mr.. Seldomridge:
In reply to your letter of the 18th
instant, wherein you ask to be advised
as to the status of the proposed rural
route from Julesburg. Colorado, 1 beg
to state that this case has been inves-
tigated and is held in the Department
awaiting the more favorable condition
of the National finances.
1t is apparently expedient to with
hold for time all applications for ad-
ditional postal facilities that involve
increased expenditures except in case
of urgent necessity, and think you
will agree with me that much can be
accomplished in this line by deferring
the establishment of additional rural
routes. The residents of the commun-
ity to be served by the route in ques-
ton. having full understanding of the
condition confronting the government
will doubtless cooperate with the De-
partment in the effort to contribute a
share toward meeting the situation
now at hand.
Sincerely yours.
JAS. s. BLAKSLY,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.

Mr.. Finley Dye,

Mr.. Finley Dye,
Julesburg. Colorado,
Dear Sir:
l enclose letter which l have re-
ceived from the Post Office Depart
ment concerning the proposed route
from Julesburg, Colo. You will notice
that in view of the financial conditions
growing out Of depleted Postal reven-
ues it is not likely that many new
routes will be established in the near
future. Conditions are so abnormal in
every way that 1t is difficult to get
the Department to look favorably upon
any new routes. I hope that may be
able to do something for your commun
ity before retire from Congress but
have no doubt that the Senators and
my successor, Mr.. Timberlake, will
be glad to do what they can to secure
favorable action by the Department
The matter is largely one requiring
patience but I believe it will work out
successfully later on.
Very truly yours,
H. H. SELDOMRIDGE

Do the Trail-Hitters stick? After
two years in which to judge, DR.. Gu
thrie of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, says, that
there have been more converts since
the revival and as result of the reviv-
al than lapses in the number Of Sum
day converts. The Sunday revival,
any revival does what no SO called
movement can do. We have had move
ment upon movement in later years,
and all they have done is to indicate
that men realize there is something
which needs correcting in the life of
the church in the United States. Big
banquets. fine programs and great
speeches still red up some enthusiasm
but 1t scarcely lasted over night. That
enthusiasm is only worth while in
which Christ grips the heart and the
Holy Spirit fills the soul. We can have
the revival If We are willing to sacri-
;ice for it. How can we expect God
to come in saving power, II we are
not willing to put first the saving of
souls The European War cloud has
cast a seric.s1oss ovar TIE United

set by Messrs. Duncan and Gregory
and became so hot that Elton Dunn
who was bringing up the rear, set
fire TO the prairie and sounded the
alarm. The members of the company
responded promptly and after fight
ing fire for some two hours II was
finally put out and much damage TO
pasture was saved. The boys say II

HOUSE AND CONTENTS BURN

A residence belonging to NJ. M.
Shipley and occupied by Mrs. A. Z.
Ofolter. near the court house, was
nearly totally destroyed by fire last
Friday morning.
Mrs. Offolter thinks her coal-oil
stove must have exploded and set the
house on fire. She got up about three
and started the fire in the stove and
went back to bed to wait for the
room to warm up, but evidently went
to sleep and when she awoke the room
was all on fire. She managed TO make
her escape to one of the neighbors
who gave the alarm. The fire-boys
responded promptly but the building
was burned beyond repair.
We understand the house and con-
tents were partially insured, so it
will not be total loss to the owners.

NEW MEXICO MAY
BACK ROOSEVELT
Reported Bursum Crowd TO swing
State Delegation for Teddy

Santa Fe, N. NJ. Dec. 27.--It Is
given out here that New Mexico's del
egation to the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago will be for Theodore
Roosevelt, This coup is to be nut
over by Hon. Holm O. Bursum, It is
said, who in the 1912 convention,
stood out for Roosevelt and would
have delivered the delegation but for
the persuasive powers Of the late ma
tional committeeman Soloman Luna.
While Bursum did not go over TO
the Progressives, he has always OPEN
ly maintained that il was a mistake
for the Republican party to follow
eastern leadership of Barnes, PEN
rose and other reactionaries.
II is pointed out by him that the
rank and file Of the Republican par
ty as well as the county bosses are
for any candidate who will win. Col.
Roosevelt, has in every county, some
faithful adherents, who are person.
ally devoted to him and who cheer
his most ultra Progressive ideas, al
though assurance is given, that the
Theodore Roosevelt of 1916 Is much
more sane and conservative than was
apparent from his platform Of 1912.
