WANT MAIL ROUTES
CONNECT AT No0RhEAD

J. r. Blenkner. Broadus postmaster
has recommended to the postoffice
department that schedules OF mail
routes on Powder river connecting
Brcadus with Arvada, Wy0., be ar
ranged for a connection at Moorhead
ana thereby AFFORD a better transmits
sion of mail than at the present time
This recommendation would have the
mail leave Arvada in the morning in
stead of the afternoon and to connect
with the mail from Broadus before re-
turning. A ten-hour schedule was rec
commended between :3roadus and Ar
vada. Should tho recommendation be
approved the two routes would remain
intact but connections would be rec
essary at Moorhead.
The present unsatisfactory mail strv-
ice was called to the attention CT the
postofrice department by F. v. portz.
the Arvada banker, who enumerated
told Of the many delays in mail trans
mission by failure OF the two routes
to connect at A1oorhead.

the report is that farmers in that
county will go into the hog raising
business this year on larger scale
than ever before.
The highestprice received for the
hogs recently shipped was $1O50 a
hundredweight for hogs ranging from
$50 to 30Opounds, and the lowest 81
a hundredweight for animals scaling
500 to 700 pounds. w.
The car was made up on "A cooper
ative basis and was routed over the

way. The hogs We're fed on the trip

of 500 pounds more weight. it is said.
The 50 hogs in the car brought ST.

the house at her finger tips at all
times. Mrs. Pointing. the housekeeper,
