Need New Mail Route
Says Hamblin Enterprise

4 "The mail service obtained from
| fhe present order Of things is not
| doing the most good to the great
est number. The mail to and
from Hamblin has to 60 far out
of its way and leaves two post
offices without a regular carrier
I-Kellog and Sand Creek.
| The Post Office Department has
twice advised for bids to carry
| the mail over route which leads
out from Oswego, but no one
seems to want to bid on this route
because it is almcst out of the
question as to feasibility.
The route that should have the
attention of all concerned, since
Wolf Point is to have pontoon
bridge, is from that town % miles
to Sand Creek postoffice, thence
3 miles to Kellogg; thence s miles
to Hamblin and from Hamblin %
miles to Circle about sixty miles
in all, allowing A miles for turns,
etc. and return over the same
route. This would make con-
nections with the Great Northern
at Wolf Point and at Circle as
soon as the G. N. cutoff is in op-
Grafton, giving better service all
along.
The route could not be covered
in one day one way, but would be
a twice-a-week route: one day
from Wolf Point to Hamblin, one
day from Hamblin to Circle and
return, and one day to Wolf Point.
Or, the route could be covered
three times a week by having two
carriers, to correspond with Cir
cle's three-times-a-week service"
The above route if it could be
gotten, would be a mighty fine
thing and Circle will do what it
can to help pushit through.

PASTOR PRESENTED
With SNUG PURSE
Synod Lutherans Are Generous
to New Pastor at Monday
Night Business Meeting

At business meeting held Monday
evening at the Synod Lutheran church
in Morris to determine hours of wor-
ship and visit with the new pastor,
members of the congregation here and
at Hancock presented Rev. Thornell
with a purse containing $1O1. The
presentation was made by S. A.
Siverta, Sr., in a little address in
which he stated to Rev. Thornell that
the money was intended to defray
part of thesexpense incurred in NOV
ing here and in getting his family
located. The tender came az plea.
SAINT surprise and the reverend gentle
man voiced his appreciation.
Rain prevented the Hancock deleg-
alton from being present in full force
and other attractions in Morris re-
duced the attendance. No definite &C.
tion was taken and the matter of
dividing Rev. Thornell's time will be
decided later. For the present it was
decided to hold regular Sunday morn
ing services in Morris at 1890 with
Sunday school following, and the
evening services will be alternated.
Chokio sent delegation with re.
quest that Rev. Thornell visit them al
stated intervals since there is no resi-
dent pastor. Chokio did not parti-
cipate in the call extended to Rev.
ThornelI but it is very likely SONS
arrangements can be made later
whereby their pulpit may be sup
piled.

SAYS SALOON HAS
DIVINE SANCTION
Remarkable Plea Made by Wei
Speaker in Anti Option Raj
ly at the Morris Armory

Claiming that George Washington
was a distiller, Thomas Jefferson a
brewer and Abraham Lincoln a saloon
keeper, and that Jesus sanctioned the
use of intoxicating liquor and would
never have preached the sermon on the
Mount if he had been opposed to it,
Attorney Colwell, of Kansas City.
Kan,. addressed packed house at the
Morris Armory Monday night and for
two hours went through maze Of
figures to show the ravages of prohibi-
tion in that state, Colwell was a
fluent talker and scored the newspap-
ers, pulpit and some of the county op-
tion workers in Morris and the county.
His talk was interesting from wet
viewpoint but has caused more or less
resentment and disgust among the
drys. Only three women were in the
audience.
Tuesday night the drys held rally
at the armory when J. H. Devenney
acted as chairman and told the audi
ence it was the first time the people of
Morris had attended a county option
rally. He stated the purpose of the
IN Getting and then introduced Attorney
Thomas Mangan who gave figures on
business. health and progress in dry
states in comparison with wet states.
He called attention to some of the
facts missed by Coliwell the evening
before. The appearance of Mangan
drew applause and when he closed his
brief remarks he was given another
salvo.
Representative Teigen, of Monte
video, who was in the audience, was
called upon for twenty minute talk
He also paid some attention to Call
we'll and charged him with sacrilege.
He urged the voters to cast dry vote
and as he spoke his massive frame
shook with earnest conviction.
W. c. Hodgson, of Joyce Memorial
church, Minneapolis, was the speaker
of the evening His address was
along temperance lines generally and
his talk made a good impression. Mr..
Hodgson is a fCrmer Grant county
young man and is one of the foremost
anti saloon workers in the state. A
brother of Mr.. Hodgson was former
partner of Mr.. Devenney.
During the first part of the evening
an electric storm burst and the speak
ers had some difficulty in making
themselves clearly heard. The storm
interfered with the lights and FOR sew
eral moments the speakers continued
in darkness. A large number of wo
men came out to the Tuesday nigh
meeting.

In letter to Frank Ware, a we'll

says:-

for ten dolalrs to aid you in your fight
against the liquor business, which I
consider the greatest handicap not
even excepting war. that the human
race has ever known.
81 believe the amount of this check
to be only a small part of the in
creased value that will accrue to each
and every acre of land in Stevens
county when your fight is won.
morris is a beautiful town in the
center of as fine farming country as

elevating institutions in your state
agricultural college and fine new high
school. Win your fight and you will
not be able to handle the great influx
of the better classes of farmers and
citizens with their young people as
students in your schools.
''The best people are afraid to try
to educate their children just in sight
of so many saloons as you have there
now. The four southwest counties in
Minnesota have gone dry by large
majorities and ten additional counties
went dry in the elections of yester.
day.

ty will follow suit.
