Roy Tompkins and Frank Ora
ham visited Pendleton Wcdnesda,
to get some authoritative draft
pointers, and found that exemption
on the ground Of dependent fami
lies will be difficult to secure. They
were informed, in fact, that any
drafted man who passes the physi
cal examination whether or not hi
has a family will be extremely
likely to be taken. District boards
only will pass upon the question
as to whether a mans work in agri'
cultural or industrial pursuits is Sc
indispensable to the nation that he

Commercial Club Will Seek to Get
Part of $5,OOO,OOO Budget For
Stevens County,
C. c. TO GET BUSY. SOON
Club Will Meet With County Com
missioners To Discuss Methods
of Procedure

The Federal government has aD-
propriated $5,0OO,OOO to be spent
on the maintenance and road build
ing in Minnesota during the next
five years. According to the State
Highway Commission there are six
different steps necessary in order for
localities to participate in this dis
tr1bution. The Morris Commercial
Club at their meeting two weeks ago
appointed committee to meet with
the county commissioners and work
out ways and means of procuring an
appropriation from this fund for
development of Stevens County high
ways.
The six steps preliminary to OBJ
tanning part of this appropriation
are:
First-The legislature must assent
to the provisions of the Federal Road
Act.
Second-The State Highway Com
mission must work out a general
scheme for making use Of the federal
aid and submit to the Department of
Agriculture for suggestions and ap-
proval.
Third Survey, plans, specifica-
tiOns and estimates must be made to
the State Highway Commission for
approval of the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Fourth-An agreement for each
project must be executed between
the Highway Commission and the
Secretary, covering the work to be
done and the manner in which it is
to be done.
Fifth-The Highway Commission
then advertise for bids, lets the con-
tract and begins the actual work,
subject to Federal inspection. Part
ial payments will be made by the
Department of Agriculture to the
local officer designated by the Com
mission.
Sixth-On completion and ac-
ceptance of the road made and upon
the approval of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture, final payments will be
made up to the agreed amount,
which can not in any case exceed SO
per cent Of the actual cost of the
road,

CUPID AND SOUTHERN Is"
SKIES -COLYER WEEDS
Morris Resident Wins South Dakota
Bride While Spending Winter
in Florida

The Tribune received a letter late
yesterday from Mr.. and. Mrs. John
House at Orlando, Florida, inform
ing us of the very recent wedding of
w. L. Colyer and Mrs. Loomer, of
South Dakota. A telegram received
by C.. B. Burpee here substantiates
the letter of Mr. and Mrs. House and
states that the erstwhile solicitous
veteran matchmaker succumbed to
the wiles of Dan Cupid at Green Cove
Springs, Florida. Further details of
the courtship beneath Southern skies
are lacking. Col. Colyer has written
sojourning in Florida, but never a
whisper of this romance.

CHILD BITTEN BY DOG
WAS GOING TO CHURCH
Little Daughter of Robert Degendor-
fer Severely Bitten by Neighbor-
- hood Pest

While the ten year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Degendorfer
was on the way to Sunday school last
Sunday morning a little terrier dog
that has long been the dread of
school children passing along West
Nevada avenue, rushed out from in
front of Mrs. George Halls residence
and savagely attacked the child
The child was bitten three or four
times about the legs and ankles and
was badly frightened. She was ta-
ken to Methodist church parsonage
and a physician was called to caut-
eriZe and dress the flesh wounds
made by the dogs teeth.
The dog has since been shot by
Chief of Police Stanley Ryan. 1t is
not known who is the owner of the
dog. The terrier has been in the ha-
bit of rushing out on the sidewalk
and barking and swapping at small
children passing by on their way to
the public schools or to Sunday
school and the pestiferous animal
long ago forfeited the right to exist.

MAIL SERVICE ON B. V.
BRANCH CURTAILED?
Rumor in Morris and Browns VAL
ley that Postal Clerk Will be
Taken Off R. R.

There is persistent rumOr at the
terminals and all along the Browns
Valley Branch line of the Great
Northern Railway, that the Federal
mail service intends to dispense with
the services of a railway mail clerk
on the morning train that arrives in
Norris from Browns Valley at 10:45
a. m. This will mean that the mail
on the morning train will be handled
by pouch service and will be carried
in the baggage car. AS one station
pouches only to the nearest town,
the only mail Morris will receive
from the morning train will be from
Alberta. There is little doubt that
this rumor will become an estab-
lished fact for the counting of the
pieces of mail between the stations
has already taken place.
There will be one pouch from the
towns along the branch line for train
No. IA on the main line due 1923
a. M, and this pouch will be worked
by the clerks on the train and be
brought back on train No. 13 due at
Morris 1920 p. m. This system if
it goes into effect will make it i'm
possible for Browns Valley and other
towns along the branch line to get
letter into Norris and receive
an answer the same day as the pre-
sent service is offering.
Economy is one thing and is ever
to be commended. But when econ
omy works hardship and creates a
resulting inefficiency, it is no longer
economy. Of course this is part of
the retrenchment policy that en-
ables, to take a true circumstance of
recent date, the government to erect
a $25, 900 post Office in a small town
in Texas less than two-thirds the size
of Morris.
A clipping from the Inter-Lake
Tribune at Browns Valley reveals
something of the feeling of the peo-
pie at the other terminal of the
branch line.
"a rumor is in circulation that
the postal clerk now running be-
tween here and Morris is to be taken
off, and the mail carried in the bag
Morris tribune., 1917-03-02

gage car. An investigation as to
the truth of this rumor should be
made Immediately, and, if there is
anything to it, a vigorous protest
should be made against any such
backward step being taken in our
postal service. If the clerk should
be taken off, our service with the
county seat would be seriously Grip
pied. Mail for Wheaton would be
taken through to Morris in the
morning and brought back to Grace
vile at night, and the same with
other towns along the line. Here is
a case for the Commercial club" "
