IA FAITHFUL RURAL CARRIER

Mr.. j. III. Macarthur, who Is the
rural carrier on Route No. l, COM
+pleted seventeen years Of continuous
service on that route on Dec. 10. He
was appointed Iii 1906 when ]. p.
Mattson was postmaster, and the first
rural route out Of Warren was estab-
lished. During these long seventeen
years Mr.. Macarthur has delivered
the daily mail regularly to the pa
irons along his route and has not
missed a monthly pay check on ac-
count of sickness or failure to render
service. In rain or shine, in calm
or storm, he may be seen driving his
horse along the route, battling with
snow storms and drifted roads In
winter and the adhesive Red River
Valley mud In summer. At first the
pay for the service was far from
adequate, but Mr.. Macarthur stuck
to his job and felt satisfied when he
had well performed his duties. The
people along the route appreciate his
faithful service and have on many
occasions given tangible evidences
thereof, especially at Christmas time,
It Is no soft snap to be rural car
rier In severe weather and when the
roads are poor. Mr.. Macarthur de-
serves credit for long and faithful
service as carrier Of Uncle Sans mail.

Petitions Presented for
Street Gravelling

At a recent meeting Of the City
Council petitions We're presented to
that body by. property owners along
certain streets asking that said streets
be gravelled. The following are the
streets which it is proposed to i'm
prove by gravelling:
johnson avenue, commencing on the
west line Of Division street and end
ing at the east line Of Brinkerhof
street.
Minnesota street, commencing at
north line of Park ave-, ending at
south line Of Bridge street.
Main street, commencing at a point
$50 feetsnorth Of North line Of John
son avn (Hotel Warren) running
south to the south line Of Colvin ave.
Every property owner on this street
has signed the petition, it is stated.
: First street., commencing at the
north line Of Park ave. running south
and ending at the south line Of Colyin
ave. s
Second street, commencing at the
south line Of Johnson ave. and end
ing at the south line of COlvin ave.
Fletcher ave., commencing at Bridge
street on west and ending at Main
street.
The Council took no definite action
on these petitions at the meeting but
it is understood that they are friendly
to the proposed street improvements.
1t was the consensus Of opinion, how
ever, that nothing can be done in the
matter this winter, as the business
streets especially must be put: in con-
dition for travelling before the work
is done. Some streets will have to
be lowered considerably by the remov-
al Of surface soil. Next summer, ii
was agreed, would be the proper time
to do the work. .,s II s; s
The; man who has done all the work
Of circulating the petitions is our en-
terprising retired farmer, Mr.. 81. ].
Beardmore, who moved to town a few
years ago.. He is a man who has q
habit of doing things. When he was
on the farm he took the lead in es.
tablishing the. first judicial ditch that
was built in the valley and in many
other activities for the betterment OF
his community. BY helping to raise
Warren out Of the mud he. will per.
form another valuable public service

row.
Funds Of 1922 are being used for
many Highway Improvements which
should have been made In past years
and which viii serve for many fu-
ture years as much or more than at
the present time.
Z Charles ". Babocck, state highway
commissioner, IN a public statement
yesterday, made plain that to correct
this condition is the main purpose Of
the. proposal for first state highway
bond issues to be recommended by
the state highway department to the
incoming legislature.
The Recommendation Is aimed sole
" to give fairer share Of highway
benefits for the taxes being paid now,
which can be done only through the
bond method, . said Commissioner
Babcock. 1--WE cannot avoid paying
now for road improvements which
should have been made long ago, but
we can justly pass on to future years
a fair portion OF permanent highway
betterments many OF which will last
for all time.
Ofacial records show that nearly
800 miles Of grading, some 80 miles
of paving, several expensive bridges
and other lasting improvements took
nearly half 40 per cent to be more
