Sixth.-The cumulative effect of

Lovett, land that with the rapid in
crease of state commissions in recent
years congress will in time be COM
PEELED to exercise its power in the
premises. To unity regulation there

lieve the best, if not the only practical
plan, is the federal incorporation OF

years to come.
We do not base our application for
an additional mail service on the past
record of this route, but upon the
known record of other mining camp
towns when the boom is on, and Jar
bidge is due TO ra healthy and legiti-
mate boom this summer, therefore we
want to be prepared for it. Last fall
there were nearly 1000 people in the
Jarbidge district, but this winter, ow-
ing largely to bad road conditions, this
population has diminished to about
500. However, the influx of new ar
rivals has already begun, they are
coming into camp now from one or two
day up to twenty a day, and in two
months, when the roads are open for
auto travel again, there will be a dozen
or more autos on the road bringing in
from so to 100 people every day. 1t is
to prepare for this increased business
of the future months that we are ask
ing you to take this matter of a daily
mail service for the town of Jarbidge
and consider it at this time that prep
arations may be made to take care of
the town of Jarbidge, regardless of the
little farming towns along either OF
the routes; we acknowledge that the
other postoffices have adequate SER
vice at present and will require no
increase, but with Jarbidge it is quite
different, there is one company in this
town which sends out and receives
more mail in a day than the whole
Three Creek postoffice receives and
sends out in month, if not in a whole
year.
We ask this increase in the mail ser
vice for the Jarbidge postoffice, full
ly believing that before the change
can be put in effect, that the condi.
tons here will have so changed tina
the additional service will not be an,
more than adequate for the increased
volume of business.

built interstate highway over which
any kind of freighting can be done,
and over which autos can make the
run from either Bull or Twin Falls
in four or five hours.
Furthermore, with this new road,
with its better grades and other favor
able conditions, the increased cost to
the postoffice department for six
times a week service to the town of
Jarbidge, should not be over fifty per
cent more than the present cost of the
three times a week service, besides the
service should be regular and avoid
the delays and difficulties of the pres
ent route
And with the five to ten times as
many people in the Jarbidge district
as at present, which is conservative
estimate for the increase in the next
four months, we fully believe that we
are entitled to the increased mail SER
vice asked for.
The future Importance of the Jar
bidge traffic has been realized by the
Oregon Short Line company, which
after an investigation by three of its
engineers of the present conditions
and future possibilities, has donated
$4,000 to our road fund to be held to
build a new wagon road as a feeder to
the railroad, thus showing that the
railroad believes that the increased
traffic to the Jarbidge camp is worth
a liberal investment to secure to its
line the extra travel, and hauling OF

camp will require in large quantities
The mines of the Jarbidge district
have up to the present time been non

 STATES BRADSTREET

New York, June 8.-(Bradstreet's will say:
 Reports of slow, backward retail trade, which has been only slightly improved by warmer weather, throwing bold relief by contract the unparalleled activity in the leading industrial lines, iron, steel, ship building, coal mining, textiles and lumber, which industries move along to the tune of advancing prices, while at the same time government buying tends to divert
 interest from regular trade channels In word, demand in industrial lines, greatly accentuated by the needs of war, is insa liable and while every ounce of energy is being used to keep up with re- quirements supplies of labor or of trans portation facilities are wholly inadequate. In an industrial sense the country is over sold. But regular distributive trade waits, partly because spirit of economy is abroad in the land, and also because the price barometer is too high to encour- age liberal buying.

 from the Mobile club this after
 noon by the score of to 3. It
 was one of the closest and most
 exciting games played on the Io- cal diamond in sometime. The vic
 tory of the Barons is due to a great play made by Cecil CoOmbs in the eighth inning when he speared a line drive against the left field fence off Butts bat. At the time a runner was in a posi-
 ton to score with the winning run from second base. The hitting
 of Lord Cecil was responsible for
 one of the runs. Ellis also con- tinued to hit today, making his third double fin as many days. His last hit scored the winning run. Kitchens pinch hitting was a fea- ture of the game.
 Birmingham scored the first run o. the game in the second inning of thu game. Clark grounded to Mcdowell who fumbled. Ellis sacrificed him tt second and he took third on Wepb'! infield out. Caton rapped out single to left and Clark scored.
