For Two More Rural Routes.

Postmaster w. II. Watkins has TAX
en- up the matter of securing two more
rural routes out of Harrison the agi-
tation of which has been dropped for
some time, and he informs the Head
light that the prospects are good for
securing both, the only barrier being
in the way in each instance is the
condition of the roads.
One of these proposed routes go
out to Hill Top and swings around by
Gather, returning through a settle
ment where route service is very de-
sirable. The other goes east down
Crooked Creek, the loop taking in the
town of Bergman.
he department is glad enough to
stitute service in any community
Hhere the population served is large
lough and the roads are sufficiently
Jlssable to justify. In each OF these
instances all the demands can be easily
,et except the road requirements and
at can be done by everybody get
ing up in the collar. Mr., Watkins is
nxious that the people along these
roposed routes get busy and see to 1t
hat roads are worked and put up in
hape.
The establishment of these routes
would not only extend much needed
mail service but would give permanent
jobs to two carriers on good salaries.

TienTsin is the port of Peking, and
has population of 100000. The
French concession in Tien Tsin is sit
uateC on the eastern bank of the Hal
Ho and prior to its present extension
was about one mile and half long
by half mile in width South Of the
French concession lies the British con-
ceSsion, While to the north are the
Italian and Japanese settlements.
. The territory that has been taken
by the French was the sole remaining
district in tho foreign concessions in
habited by natives, and its seizure by
the French probably means that the
Chinese section will be entirely elimi-
mated from the foreign area.
