eral fund for the construction and.
maintenance Of rural post roads. Ste
vcnsvilIc, in particular. is on the job.
Local people are behind Il movement
for getting aid from the government
and from the county commissioners
for keeping the three rural routes here
passahlc for automobiles throughout
the winter
Automobiles Speed Service.
Mail on each of the three rural
routes out of Stcvensville is carried by
automobile. With cars. the carriers
can make their rounds after the morn
ing train arrives from Missoula. thus
giving the patrons daily papers on the
date of issue. and delivering letters "a
hours earlier than was the case when
horses were used They are also able
to return outgoing mail in time for
the afternoon train.
Unless some arran cement can be
made to keep the roads clear of snow
this winter. the carriers will have to
go back to using horse drawn vehicles
That will necessitate u change in the
schedules. Carriers will then leave the
postoffice ut $ o'clock in the morning
and it will consume the greater part
of the day to make the trip.
1t is proposed TO hire a farmer every
mile or two along the route to get
| out with a snow pillow and clear the
| road after each storm. The same
| farmers can be employed to smooth
| the road with splt-log drags after the
| rains in summer. This. of course is
| only part Of the plan for putting the
| roads in better condition and keeping
| them that way--not only for the mail
carriers, but for everybody.

GERMANY RELEASES AMERICAN SAILORS ADMINISTRATIONS IS PLEASED Germany Sends Official Notice of Re- lease of Americans Brought to Ger many on Captured Steamer Yar- rowdale.


WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. IT, Administration officials are much pleNsed over the action of Berlin in releasing the Americans captured on vessels sunk by the German con- merce raider in the South Atlantic and brought to Germany on the Tar rowdale, official notice of which was sent to the State Department yester- day afternoon. Observers, however, assert that the United States cannot escape war with Germany unless that country halts it's submarine campaign, as sooner or later an American ves- sel is bound to be submarined with the result that war will be declared. It is certain that President Wilson will deliver an address before con- gress on the country's foreign rela- tions before the present session of Congress adjourns. Today he made routine visits to the War, State and Navy departments.

REPORTED SCANDAL
 AT THE CAPITOL
ALASKA DELEGATE IS INVOLVED
Changed to Suit Purpose---Carbon Copy on File COntradicts.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. IL A candal of some magnitude has de velOped in connection with the Alaska Prohibition measure, in which Dele gate Wickersham, of Alaska, plays an unenviable part. In urging the Dry measure introduced by himself before the House, and particularly Section 35 of that measure, by the provisions of which all funds received from li censes in Alaska should be turned into the Territorial Treasury, thus depriv- ing the Alaska Road Commission of a large sum annually. the Delegate is alleged to have quoted from let ter purported to have been written by former Secretary of War Garrison ap, proving this action.
 This was traced back by interested parties and carbon copies of the let ter on file in the War Department di- rectly contradicts the interpretation given by the Delegate before the Committee, and the charge is made that the letter had been deliberately altered to suit the occasion.
 Delegate Wickersham denies any knowledge of the change in the letter, but Secretary of War Baker is not inclined to believe him.
 It is alleged that Delegate Wicker sham complained to the War Depart ment that Col. Richardson. the chair man of the Alaska Road Commission was guilty of improper conduct in op posing his (Wickersham' re-elec- tion. and to this is credited the re- port circulated that Richardson was slated to leave the board.
 It is now reported that the Dele gates stock is away below par with the War Department.
