DEMOCRATS Grip.
PIE RURAL DELIVERY
lspeciaI Correspondencel

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 21--Tne
failure of the Democrats to pass the
pcstoffiee appropriation bill in the last
Congress has shamefully crippled the
rural free delivery service.
Members of Congress declare that
complaints they are receiving from
both rural carriers and patrons have
been more numerous and bitter in the
last few months than for years before.
Rural carriers claim that they have
suffered chiefly on two counts; one
that although they are under civil ser
vice, there have been hundreds of dis
missals without just cause; the other
that their routes have been heightened
and their work increased without adj
ditional pay.
The complaints from patrons of the
rural routes are uniformly based upon
sweeping reductions in the service.
The conditions causing these com
plants are due to the failure of the
postoffice appropriation bill and the
consequent necessity for managing the
postal service under a re-enactment Of
last year 5 appropriation.
The principal changes ordered by the
Department reducing the carrier force
arise, first, by the proposed consolida-
tion of about 1900 routes 25 miles long
into half that number so mile long;
second, in lengthening the standard
routes and still further reducing the
carrier force; third, by making one
carrier serve two routes on alternate
days, and dropping the extra carrier.
IT is estimated that more than two
thousand rural carriers have lost their
places under these reductions.
The patrons of the rural routes base
their criticisms, first, on the claim that
many have had to move their mail
boxes at least half mile from former
locations, and they, instead of the ear
riers, must travel that distance for
mail; second, that instead of getting
mail six times a week they receive it
only every other day; third, all these
changes cripple the effectiveness of the
parcel post service, especially as to
perishable goods. There is also gen.
eral complaint of eurtailment of the
rural free delivery service.
Mass meetings of patrons have been
held in many localities protesting
against the decentralization of their ser
vice, and are daily becoming more fire.
quent.
Reports from associations of rural
carriers claim that not only have the
aen lost their enthusiasm for the SER
vice, but through fear of dismissal have
resigned. This is largely the result, j.
is said. of Department instructions to
have Democratic postmasters, instead
of civil service inspectors, make conf

In the preliminary examination of
Elma Forquer Saturday afternoon, on
the charge of having been implicated
Ia the murder of w. II. Forquer, the
examination of Sheriff Lamb was CON
tinued after the Silver State went to
press. Nothing new was brought out,
the evidence being a practical substan
tiation of that given by Deputy Sheriff
Muller as to defendant having made
general offer of $1,000 to anyone
who would kill Forquer.
At the completion of Sheriff Lamb s
testimony, Stella Case took the stand
and testified to the fact that O'Don-
nell spent considerable time at the
Combination saloon around the Fourth
Of July.
When court adjourned for the day.
Judge Hood continued the ease until
Friday, August 81, at 10 clock a. M
The preliminary examination of

Mason valley May Start UP smelter

From the Yerington district in south.
west Nevada came private letter yes
terday with the information that the
way things are now shaping themselves
up IL is quite possible that the Mason
Valley smelter may be fired up in the
near future.
When the price Of copper dropped 80
q or 10 cents a pound year or so ago,
the smelter was closed down. 1t is un.
derstood that the Nevada Douglas con
tract had expired and this, too, helped
bring the management to its decision
to shut up shop. The smelter required
high grade copper ores TO be treated
along with the high fuxing ores which
come from the Mason Valleys own
mine. To smelt these ores and not 81
simultaneously get the fiuxing worth
was a distinct loss TO the company.
Now it is reported that the Mason
Valley Mines company will finally con
snmmate the longdelayed deal for the
old adjacent Blue Stone mine. A com
bInation of the Blue Stone and the
Mason Valley ores would make an ideal
smelter ore. and this, together with the
present high price of copper, have spur
red the smelter company on TO action
The Blue Stone is owned bv Captain
DeLamar, and Superintendent Week
has been in charge of the mine for
years. The story from Mason is that
General Manager w. b. Thompson OF
the Mason Valley company has called

and the general opinion is that the
Blue Stone is about to 90 over to the

a chance to score. One way and an

IMPROVEMENTS ON.
OVERLAND HIGHWAY

The Free Press has consistently stood
for road Improvement on the Overland
Highway, having persistently stood for
betterment of the roads hereabouts in
the face of the fact that the paper
which takes the pioneer stand in MAX
ing a fight for better roadway is Of
ten misunderstood and abused. Our
stand has been appreciated and news
rake the Overland trail the superior
of any in the country. The Reno Ga
zette. Nevada IS boosting daily, saws
that plans are already made for road
way across Nevada that will give this
state a better highway than it now has.
The article is very encouraging, COM
ing at this time and steps will doubt
less be taken to carry ont the details
of the plans mentioned.
To practically reconstruct the pres
ent Overland Trail leading across Ne
vada so as to utilize practically the en-
tire abandoned railroad grade of the
Southern Pacific company is plan that
IS being quietly discussed by persons
living along the Overland route. When
it is remembered that such towns as
Elko, Battle Mountain, Winnemueea
md Lovelock are included on the trail
and that all would be heavily benefited
fy such an effort the story becomes
really interesting
At the present time the route paral-
lels the old abandoned roadbed for ma
ny miles, in fact almost entirely across
the state. From Wadsworth to Love
lcck it is claimed that the old grade
could be used almost the entire dis
tance, provided the consent of the rail
road company could be obtained and
this is said to be possible.
In places it would DE necessary to
construct bridges that have been re-
moved, but in nearly all places where
they have been removed, the old piers
and abutments remain, making posi-
bic their reconstruction without the
usual heavy expense.
The commendable activity shown bv
tie cities along the more southern
routes has stimulated the cities in the
northern sections of the state and q
friendly rivalry that will give the state
more creditable representation in the
fans-continental highways win appar
er tly he the resnlt.-Elko Free Press.

seemed to have been some misunder-

Pipe Wood is Used by Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania leads all of the states
in the consumption of wood for use in
the manufacture of pipes. OF the diff
ferent kinds of material employed,
apple wood is in greatest demand, for
it is the principal wood used in max
ing the so-called brier pipe. Genuine
brierwood is purchased at about $3.50
thousand feet. The other woods
that are used, aside from this and
apple, are red gum, ebony. birch and
olive. The state each year consumes
in pipe making the equivalent of ap-
proximately 225.000 board feet of tim
Der, the average price Of which
amounts to about $65 a thousand feet.

INDICATIONS FOR
PROSPEROUS YEAR

When the University of Nevada
opens on August 30 the indications are
that il will begin its most prosperous
year. Applications for admission have
been received universally from the
high schools of the state, and where
last year there were two freshmen from
a community, this year there have been
applications from twelve, and in many
eases the entire graduating classes
from the local high schools are enter
ing the University this fall.
The best place to educate the young
men and women of state is in the
university of that state. All the more
progressive states are finding this out
and the tendency of the universities
pond to the particular educational
needs of their people in the highest
possible degree.
This is essentially true in Nevada,
where our conditions are SO different
from what they are in all other states.
The graduates of other universities,
coming to Nevada, find themselves in
many respects far less fitted to cope
with the professional, industrial and
economic demands here than our own
University graduates.
On the other hand, the University o.
Nevada is supplementing that porto n
OF feature of its training which relates
to Nevada alone with as broad and
solid an education along general or uni
versal lines as any of the larger uni
versities are able to give.
The University of Nevada opens on
August 80, and every young man and
young woman in Nevada seeking an
education, who can find the opportuni
ty to pursue a course there should do
