BOXES IN HOMES.
FREE DELIVERY PRIVILEGES ARE
THREATENED WITH WITH.
DRAWAL UNLESS TERMS ARE
. COMPLIED WITH.

Residents of ottawa must either
supply box or receptacle for the
postman to leave their mail in, or
they will lose their free delivery
privileges For several years n
drive has been made by post Office
authorities to get the people of the
city to furnish boxes to receive their
mail orders were received from the
post Office department in Washing
ton this week, which make II com
pulsory for the people Of Ottawa to
supply boxes in which their mail
may be deposited. This is the first
time that carriers have been order
ed to discontinue free deliveries UNI
less a mail box is supplied.
The following notice dealing with
the order has been sent out from the
local post Office:
Mail receptacles save the carriers
time and hasten deliveries. 1t is
able receptacle of some sort or char
acter at every residence, and if pos
sible at business houses.
The absence of a mail receptacle
not only tends to inconvenience the
patron, but unquestionably results IN
inferior service through delaying the
carrier on his route,
In the circumstances carried delv-
cry service should not be extended
TO any new dwelling not equipped
with suitable receptacle.
When patron changes his resi-
dence he will be required to provide
a receptacle at his new residence be-
fore being accorded delivery service.
Postmaster J. J Dougherty received
the above order and it became opera.
tive at once. The post Office depart
ment has been endeavoring for
number of years to educate the public
to the necessity of providing mail re-
ceptacles, but this is the first time a
compulsory order has been issued to
city patrons of the post office to pro-
vide a mail receptacle or lose the
privileges of free delivery. Though
such an order has been in effect to
patrons on the r. F. d. service since
it's inception
The patrons of the Ottawa Office
have responded to the appeals of the
post Office department and but few
houses are unnrovided with rccepta-
cles, and most of the patrons who
have no receptacles on their homes
have promised to comply with the de-
partmeuts wishes, but have been ne
electful rather than obstinate. How
ever, in the future if YOU contemplate
moving or building, see that your
new home is properly equipped to re-
ceiye your mail also YOU will have
to call for 1t at the post office. Your
postmaster has received this order
and 1t must be obeved

WH|TWORTHPLAYERS
ATTRACTS MANY To-
CHAUTAUQUA PARK
SECOND DAY OF ASSEMBLY
PROMISES EXCELLENT PRO.
GRAM - COMEDY TO BE GIVEN
TONIGHT.

Large crowds visited Chautauqua
park this afternoon to listen to the
program, which was one of the big
gest features of the eight day SEES
sion. The Ruth Whitworth players,
who presented an attractive comedy,
"Ffxin Father" this afternoon, will
again present play, "Matrimony.'
tonight at 1880.
The company Is composed to five
people, all who are very talented ac-
tors and actresses. The crowd which
turned out today was far above ex-
pectations, considering the damp
weather.
The children of the Epworth Meth
odist Sunday school carried off the
honors at both the attendance and
the singing contest held at the close
of yesterday afternoon program
Several of the Ottawa Sunday schools
entered the contest, the honors going
to the highest pro rata attendance at
the park yesterday. The rain com
ing as it did just as the program was
ready to start, cut the attendance
considerably
Dr. A. c. Piersel's opening talk on
the bible was made at the close of
the afternoons program. This proved
to be very fine,
The feature Of the afternoons pro-
gram, however, was the work of Pc
lunhi, the telepathist, who did some
new and original telepathy stunts.
At the evening program large
crowd heard Mrs. Ruth Hemenway
Shaw, read The Fouth Estate" by
Patterson. This was newspaper
story, dealing with the investigation
of reporter. Mrs. Shaw has ap.
peared on the platform in Ottawa
several times before, her work prov
ing equally as interesting as last
night on previous occasions.
After Mrs Shaw's reading Polunhi
gave an entertainment, giving great
many sleight of hand tricks. He also
gave examples of telepathy, reading
from the platform, numerals which
were written and added on pad
that was held in the audience.

OF LITTLE DAN CUPID

Ottawa isn't always the easiest
place III the world to get married in,
not even after the needed license has
been obtained. A 3traltor couple

few moments as an aid to cupid can
vouch for this.
The bridal couple are Mr.. and
Mrs. Gust Kletcke of Streator. Mrs.
Kletcke was until late this morning
Miss Myrtle Henry, well known
Streator girl
A reporter and a policeman stop
ped to converse for a minute near the
county building this morning, when
Miss Henry and Mr.. Kletcke APP
preached them and politely inquired
where minister could be found.
Seeming a romance the policeman,
directed the couple to the reporter
tor information.
Remembering that this was vaca-
ton time, and recalling stories she
mad heard of the difficulties strange
couples sometimes had securing a
minister to ofiiciate at wedding
when most of ottawa ministers were
on their vacation; the reporter af-
ter having difficulty in directing them
to minister she felt would surely be
in town offered to phone him., and
make an appointment with the divine
to meet them at his church.
a nearby phone was pressed into
service, but the minister could not
be located. Numbers of one after
churches and parsonages
were called, but no response could be
obtained. Methodist, Baptist, Episco-
pal, Congregational, Presbyterian,
and Lutheran ministers all failed to
answer the frantic rings of their
phones. In each instance after i'll
was seen that no one was in the
parsonage, call was put to another
The bride appeared frightened, the
groom embarrassed and the reporter

The groom wiped his brow, the
bride uttered a sigh Of relief and af-
ter expressing their thanks, went to

church, where Rev. Maue officiated
at the wedding.
They were unattended. The bride

Basketry an Old Art,

Basketfy is an art that has been
practiced by the women of all races for
more than 5000 years. 1t probably
was developed to its highest degree by
the American Indians, who made their
baskets not only to meet the demands
OF utility long before pottery came into
vogue, but wove into them wonderful
legends and mythical tales symbolica
Of the tribal lore.

OF STUDENTS SET
FOR APRIL 25-H
Sixty Boys Trying This Spring
for Places on Track
Team.

April 25-27 are the dates set for the
high school interscholastic track meet,
according to Coach NJ. L. Crouch, who
has been training the men for the last
three weeks on the new athletic field.
The following have been named as
managers for the four classes and will
have complete charge of all entries
from their classes: William Gonser,
senior: Bryon Leverich, junior; Karl
Thisted, sophomore and John Gerber.
freshman. Entries must be made by
the night Of April "a.
There are nearly 60 boys out for
track this spring and but few who
started the first Of the esason have laid
down on the job. The chief difficulty
in training for track in Great Falls
is the uEce- lainty of weather condi~
tons.
Considering this handicap, the ma
terial which has shown up may be said
to be unusual for this time of the year.
Great Falls will probably be strong in
dashes and distance this year and is
scheduled to make all the high school
aggregations in the state extend them
selves at the state tourney at Missoula
May 9-13. The weight men of the squad
are also showing up well and there are
several candidates for hurdles who are

Montana are safer than the same Sc

dropped close to rock bottom while
their drop seems to be continuing We
have had Indications recently of easier
money conditions in the state, although

out of doors most are often to
blame for the destruction of the
finest recreational fields in the
world, the foresters assert. A man
who is the most ardent fisherman
in the country may idly toss q
lighted match from trail and start
forest cOnflagration that will
kill every trout in that fishermans
favorite stream.
Local fOresters say that more
than $4,000 persons used the JEFF
fersOn national forest for recrea-
tiOnal purposes last year. They
estimated that more than q quarter
of million persons "played" in
the national forests of the state
last year.
Montana, Recreationai Paradise
They point with pride to beauti-
full photographs which they have
taken as evidence of Montana's
matchless scenic beauty They
quote statistics from the count of
the elk herds of the country to
prove that the Sun river country in
the Lewis and Clark national forest
is one of the most densely game
settled sections Of the country.
Montana is the recreati0nal par
adise of the west, foresters say.
They speak of the national parks
and their wondrous beauty in pas
sing, but they carry you into the
wilder, more beautiful places
where only the true lovers of ma
ture and the bolder travellers dare.
PubIIc's Help Is Needed
There in the vast recesses of the
mountains are scenes that are not
eclipsed by any Of the wonder spots
of the world. the foresters say.
But the mountains are beautiful
only when they remain natural.
They are paradise of recreation
only so long as they are kept free
of the fires that annually destroy
thousands of acres of their tim
bered lands. The forest service
must have the aid of the public to
keep the forests green, say the for
esters.
