UNCLE SAM HAS
POSTAL SERVICE
BEST IN WORLD
No Other Nation Hand
les Letters So Cheap
ly and Expeditiously;
Pre-War Rates.

Washington.-No other nation in the
world gives to its citizens a mail serv-
ice comparable to that of the United
States. The citizens OF no other coun-
try can communicate with each other
or with the outside world at so small
a cost as they can in this country. No
other country even remotely approach
es the United States in the amount OF
mail handled. In fact, the American
postal system handles one1third of
the worlds mail 1t equals in number
all the pieces handled by Great Brit
ain, Germany. France and Russia
combined. The mail of New York
City alone is greater than that OF the
Dominion OF Canada.
No mail service equals that OF the
United States in the speed with which
letters are transported to great dis
tances. In no other country may citi-
zens mail such large and heavy pack
ages by parcel post. No other coun-
try is so honeycombed with rural free
delivery routes or approaches the SER
vice furnished by the United States
to its rural inhabitants either in the
rich farming regions or in the sparse
" settled sections where the hermit
Of the mountain or desert dwells.
For two cents the citizen of Miami.
Florida, may send letter to Point
Barrow, Alaska, or to the Philippine
Islands by domestic mail. A still
greater distance. however, may be
cached by international mail. From
Point Barrow one-ounce letter may
'e sent to Terra del Fuego, at the
outhernmost point of South Ameri-
a. For that matter the two-cent
lamp will carry an ounce letter to
ny country in the western hemis-
here with the exception of Chile.
'rench and Dutch Guiana. Venezuela
nd the islands OF Martinique and
guadalupe.
Two cents also will carry an ounce

letter TO Great Britain and to far-ofi
New Zealand in the south seas but an
answer from either place requires
three cent stamp. Spain and It's Al
rican colonies may be reached for two
cents but the reply postage will cost
FIVE cents. Any other country in the
world may be reached by the Ameri-
can citizen for FIVE cents, although It
was only 60 years ago that letter to
Australia cost S204.
An idea of the firm foundation upon
which the American postal service was
built may be visualized by the TACT
that II was the only one in the world
the personnel of which was not de-
moralized or seriously crippled during
the recent war. In other countries
deliveries were cut one-third and the
service maintained only by the draft
ing OF women to carry the mails
The United States is the only coun-
try of importance where pre-war pos
tage rates are still maintained. For
twenty months during the war letter
rates were increased to three cents
but the extra cent was levied as tax
to assist in carrying on the war and
no portion of it accrued to the postal
revenues.
The American railway mail service
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1923-06-05

is the greatest in the world, princi-
pally, of course, on account OF the
immense railway system OF this coun-
try. Because OF the great preponder-
ance OF mail in this country more me-
chanical contrivances and labor saving
devices are utilized in its dispatch
probably than all the other countries
combined.

The Poor Care of Heroes
Justice Walter !. Mccoy says that
the public indifference to the treatment
that has been afforded our wounded
and suffering veterans of the war IS
to be condemned, Speaking before a
representative audience in the natioral
capital he declared that congress had
voted sufficient money for the care of
the men. but that the appropriations
have no; been wisely spent. He re-
ferred to the political appointments"
OF those who had been named TO pro-
vide care Of injured world war vet
Grams for whom the war will never
end"
Political Prisoners"
The agitation for the release OF po-
litical prisoners continues to reach the
federal government. A great many
people seem to argue in terms OF con-
tempt for 'parlor bolshevists," mill
tarists." "pacihsts," or anyone whom
they dislike In this frame of mind
they seem to forget that practically ev-
cry political prisoner stands on a dif-
ferent basis from that of his fellow-un-
fortunate. The officials of the Depart
ment of Justice point out that there is
as great difference among political
prisoners" as there is among burglars,
and that while some of each breed
should be left out OF jail that most OF
them are properly houses. The pres
dent does not seem to yield to pres
sure for the wholesale release of this
lass of inmates of the prisons.

THREE HOUSES BURNED
THROUGH ALARM DELAY

Through delay in getting an alarm
turned in three houses belonging to
Mrs. Isabel Smith were burned be-
tween 6 and 7 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
Chief Earl Bath says it was sew
eral minutes before the alarm came
in. The department made a quick
run, but was delayed in another way
by the High street hydrant near the
houses being out of commission, so
as they went down Au1tman street
the firemen connected their hose
with the one at Candy Joe's corner.
This by it's great length of hose re-
tarded the pressure, but it was only
a few minutes until the fire was
practically subdued.
Mrs. Smith owned six houses on
High and Sixth street which she
rented. The three best ones Were
the mes burned, two of these not
being wholly consumed. She car
ried no insurance and places her loss
at $4,000.

The Tonopah sewer system was put

A campaign for incorporation of the
city by a vote of the people was I'M

opposition. Many who would have
voted for incorporation in order to
get a sewer system, but who wanted
it for that reason only, voted against
it when the company proposition was
sprung. That alone probably would
not have lost the election, so the op-
position caused the nomination OF a
barber from the lower end fer mayor
against James j. McQuillan. present
postmaster, and then set UP a cry to
vote against Incorporation 10 defeat
Frank Smith, the other fellow. This
started the real car and while Mr..
McOuillan was elected mayor by $50
majority Incorporation was defeated
and there was no city to be mayor of.
From that day to this, which is many
years since the BARRIERS death, he has
been known as Mayor Smith. Since

by J. Grant Crumley, who is
supposed to W pract feally every
share.

LITTLE PANCAKE GRADE
CONNECTS BY OLD ROAD

The west cad of the new Lincoln
highway grade at the Little Pancake
summit does not connect with the
old Lincoln highway by some eight
or ten miles, but there is a fairly
good country road connecting the
two routes. 1t is the intention of
the state highway department that
this be used this fall when the ILL
pah road is completed, making a
through route from Ely to Little Pam
cake on the new grade. The coun-
try road making the connection
turns to the left from the Newark
valley road a quarter of a mile to
the west. It connects with the old
highway.
The new grade through Pancake
valley is some six miles north OF the
present route, being about the same
distance north of Hamilton. Work
there has stopped and it appears to
be completed to the Little Pancake
summit.
The only portion of the new grade
that is in use is from the Norman
ranch for three miles up the canyon
to the point where the Hamilton
road turns off, which is half a mile
below the Illipah Petroleum COM
pany's drilling site. Here 20 per-
sons turning in from the rough
stretches on the flats and otherwise,
the road seems like a dream, as it
is the next thing to a pavement for
smoothness and of grade.
At the turning off point there is a
sign reading, "You will he turned
back If you take this road which
means that the new grade from its
auto tracks appears to be in use. 1t
is used only by trucks and cars of
the constructor company, the former
to transport gravel to stretches east
of the summit, and other cars cannot
get through. 1t would gain nothing
if they did, except were they through
cars for Eureka and west, as to reach
Hamilton or other places en- route
they would lose so much in distance
by having to drive back that they
would be out and injured by the at
tempt, making it a trip of eXpTora-
ton.
The Hamilton connection with the
highway for a long time to come will
will be this junction at IIfipah creek.
The county at present is crawling
and repairing the Hamilton road
The county truck this week was haul
ing gravel and filling numerous ruts
and places where it otherwise might

will grade a west connection between

ANGUS MDON4LD, DEAN OF
WHITE PIVERS, BURIED TODAY

The Oldest resident of White Pine
county passed away when Angus b.
Mcdonald died Thursday afternoon
at his ranch three miles south Of
Cherry Greek.
Mr.. Mcdonald came to Hamilton in
1869 or 1870, and helped to operate
the first sawmill in eastern Nevada,
which was at Shermantown and
owned by Sanford Hall. Mr.. McDon-
aid was a sawyer by trade and work
ed in that capacity for Mr.. Hall, aft
erward becoming his partner.
1t was the timber on White Pine
mountain that gave the mountain
and county the name. The discovery
Of hornsilver at the Eberhardt was
made in 1868 and the first houses
were of logs. which then were plenti-
full in the immediate vicinity. The
Hall mill with Mr.. Mcdonald behind
the saw sawed out the boards with
| which the people of Eberhardt, Ham,
ilton, Treasure Hill, Shermantown
and several other populous places
of the time were housed, and also
ripped out the boards with which
the famous Eberhardt mill was erect
ed. In Hamilton alone in its most
prosperous days we're 10000 people,
and many of the old boards which
Mr.. Mcdonald sawed cut are there
in houses yet.
In a few years the activities of the

terville. a live camp east of Eureka,
which in recent years has not been
heard of. Here they sawed an I'M
mense amount of lumber, which vas
used largely in Eureka, which was
a later arrival on the map than Ham
ilton.
After that they moved to a timber
ed region in the Egan mountains
northwest of Cherry Creek and saw
ed and marketed all the lumber OBJ
tainable from there.
When that was finished Mr.. Nc
Donald quit the firm and went to
the New England states, where he
remained for a decade. Returning in
the latter sos he brought with him
a wife, whose maiden name was Miss
Bella Buchanan, and they settled OH
Duck creek, where he again entered
the sawmill business. Being of Can
adam birth Mr.. Mcdonald had not
taken up American citizenship. but
he did so then, and subsequently he
gained title to a tract of government
land.
One OF his neigibors there was the
late w. G. Gallagher, father of ex-
Mayor J. II. Gallagher, who had
known Mr.. Mcdonald first at Sher-
mantown in II. Mfr. Gallagher sold
Mr.. Mcdonald the hay. grain and
OTTER ranch supplies required at the
Duck creek mill.
At one time, the year not being.
definitely remembered, Mr.. Mcdonald
was employed as a sawyer at the
Henry mill on Henry creek, coming
into Snake valley from the east side
of Mount Moriah.
Dave Mclean. n OF the Oldest
surviving residents of White Pine,
says Mr.. Mcdonald was at Sherman
town when he went there, which was
in the early '70s.
The McDonaTds had only an adopt.
ed daughter, who became the wife
