NJ. L. VReilly, the White River
druggist, passed through town yester.
day morning on the stage enroute to
Beresford, S. D to visit with home
folks.
Sheriff Stone was down from White
River on official business Wednesday
and incidentally looking after his
political fences. Mr.. Stone is an in
dependent candidate for reelection to
the office of Sheriff of this county.
The indications are that there will
bs several independent candidates for
county Offices to be voted for at the
coming e.ection. An independent
candidate has an uphill fight at best
and is Usually elected to stay at home
On RECOMMENDATION of Theo. Hewey
S. Tom Fredricks has been trans
ferred from Bad Nation to Bull Greek
in Tripp county, where he will do
catechist work for the Catholic church
He expects to leave for his new post
sometime this month.
Politics are going to begin to warm
up in this county from now on and it
is we'll that General Apathy should be
put to rout for the people should be
giving some thought to the election,
and see to it that lone but good men
are elected to public Office.
The Board of County Commission
ers at their session this week appoint
ed Attorney Tripp States Attorney for
Mellette county, as States Attorney
R. V. Fletcher had removed from the
county and left vacancy in that
Office. Mr.. Tripp is the Republican
candidate for the Office of States At.
torney at the coming election.
Dick Manard entertained e. L.
Wilmoth, Leland ST. Clair, Ren Cross
Raymond Stahl and the Editor at
his homestead north OF Wood Tues
day evening. Dick is cozily located
and seems to enjoy ranching. He is
building new barn and putting up
hay and acts just as though he means
to stay and make go of it.
We notice that one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for comfy Office in
this county had his campaign cards
printed in Texas and we presume that
when election day rolls around he
will also go to Texas to get those
much needed votes to insure his cleo
ton. A candidate that will not pat
ronize his home institutions and help
to build up Mellette county is hardly
entitled to the support Of the tax pay
ers of this county. We may be wrong
but that is just the way we feel about
the matter.

OLD ROUTES RE.EsrAeL,sAEp.
Message From Post Office Department
Thursday to This Effect-Oid
| Carriers Back at Work.

Postmaster Alfred Wright received
a telegram last Thursday from Mr..
Blaksler, the fourth assistant post.
master general. advising him that the
motor routes out Of DenisOn have been
discontinued and that the old rural
routes are to be re-established.
The post Office department found
out that here in Iowa where the roads
are not as good as they are back east
it was out of the question for mail
man to serve patrons on fifty mile
route, carrying the mail in autos. Hero
in Denison many OF the carriers step
ped out during the severe weather and
the patrons on the routes were with.
out their mail. On the 10th of De-
cember the snow storm put the roads
in such bad condition that the carriers
refused to go out but on the 18th they
made their routes after Postmaster
Wright had promised to take the mat
ter up with the department and see
if the old routes could not be re-estab.
lished.
While the former order has not
been received by the postmaster, the
carriers are feeling much better over
the fact that their routes have been
changed back to the old order. In all
probability all of the old carriers will
continue in the service, although 1t
is possible that the department may
require applications and a competitive
examination.
