MANY HAZARDS FACED BY
STAR ROUTE MAIL CARRIERS

On arrival at home their friends
were obliged to cut and tear away
their ice-armored garments. After
changing clothing a bushel of ice that
had fallen off in the process was
swept from the floor.
The carrier who supplies mail on
the Newport Otter Rock route, in
Oregon, Immediately on the Pacific
coast, is confronted by many Difficult
ties and hardships and many times
takes his life in his hand in order
that the patrons on the route may re-
ceive their letters and packages. The
carrier is compelled to travel down
the beach at low tide. If for some
reason the incoming tide catches him
before completing his trip he must
either abandon his team and the
mails and climb the rocks or be
dashed to pieces against them.
The most expensive star route in
the United States is from Price to
Vernal, Utah. 1t is 121 miles long
and for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1923, the cost of maintaining it was
approximately $96.70O. AS high as
twenty or more tons a day of mail
matter-mOstly parcel post are
handled over this route.
The longest routes are from Two
Harbors TO Grand Portage, Mimi, and
from Midland, Tex, to Lovington,
N. M. These routes are each 143
miles in length.

NOT GOOD
FOOD FOR BOSSIE

Boise-Dynamite devoured by q
herd of cattle running loose on leased
and public range in Owyhee county
resulted in the death of fifteen of the
animals last week, according to re-
port of w. c. Nye, deputy state VET
erinarian, submitted to DIR. Wendell
X. Smith, state veterinarian.
1t was discovered that all the losses
occurred in the vicinity of a large
mining property Adjacent TO the
mine a search revealed at the base of
a large ore dump half case of dis.
carded 40 percent dynamite. 1t was
apparent that the animals had eaten
of this, because the waxed container
plainly showed teeth marks and the
ground showed where the animals
had licked up that portion which had
spilled out of the box.
Many more Of the herd were
found affected, the veterinarians re-
port states. The history showed tbe
animals would live four or five days
II not disturbed, but If driven rapidly
uphill they would drop dead.

misery before pitiful pile of charred

through whose sturdy veins flows the
blood of probably all the varied species
of dogdom, howls lonesome requiem
for the souls of his little master and
mistress-Samuel and Charity Dorsey
who were burned to death in the bit
OF a shack that once was their home.
Samuel and Charity, seven and three
years old respectively. were the chill
dren of Mr. and Mrs. James Dorsey,
colOred couple living on River road,
Bethesda. Md. While they were TAX
ing their afternoon nap some unknown
cause set fire to their diminutlve cabin
and before help could reach them they
had been wrapped in a blanket of
flames.

Bruno and Samuel were born the
same day and in the same room, ac-
cording to old residents. Charity
came later, but she Immediately was
made a welcome member of their fra
ternity. lnseparable during their short
life, Bruno refused to be comforted
when he returned from romp and
found his home gone and his play
mates dead.
Throughout the night, after sorrow
ing neighbors had returned home to |
try and forget the awful ordeal of the i
afternoon, Bruno sat in the midst Of /

and forgetful of the bitter cold, he
sang his chilling requiem. Daybreak

HOW BORAH TURNED DOWN
NOMINATION AT CLEVELAND.

A new version of how President
Coolidge urged Senator Borah to ac
cept the nomination for vice presi
dent, and how the IdahQ senator vas
enabled to give fiat 'NO" to the
proposition without directing his re.
fusal to the president, is given in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger by Clin-
ton w. Gilbert in his Daily Mirror
of Washington" feature of the edito-
rial page. Here is the story.
II have heard what l think is the
authentic explanation of that strange
incident of the campaign, the an
n0uncement that Senator Borah had
been chosen by the administration as
the candidate for vice president and
Senator Borah's prompt refusal to
run. Mr.. Borah had always been the
presidents personal choice for his
running mate. Relations between the
two had been close and friendly. The
Idaho senator had, on the whole,
been a more consistent supporter of
the administration on the hill than
had been most of the sO-called regu-
lar republicans. The administration
had called off the conservative re.
publican opposition to Mr.. BOrah i'm !
his own state just as it has recently |
called off the opposition to Senator |
COuzens' nomination in Michigan |
Secretary Mellon, who has done SO
much 10 give conservative character
TO the republican party, favored Mr..
B0rah for vice president.
''To all suggestions that he should
take second place on the ticket, Mr..
BOrah had replied that the vice
was distasteful to him and
that his nomination, since he was not
in agreement with his party, would
be illogical and would do no good. The
president Sent for Mr.. Borah after the
in Cleveland was in ses- [
sion and asked him TO take second |
place. Mr.. BOrah did not come back |
With a point-blank NO" but objected ]
o the platform. The differences be- I
.ween Mr.. Borah and his party did !
lot seem to the president vital He I
Idaho County free press., 1924-08-07

accordingly suggested that Mr.. Borah
could make his OWN platform in his
speech of acceptance. Mr.. BOrah de
INJURED to this.
''The president suggested, it is said
that he would stand by Mr.. Borah
and give his speech of acceptance his
/ approval and that the making Of the
campaign would be largely in Mr..
Borah's hands, as he, the president
would be kept by his duties in Wash
ington from taking the stump. The
idea could hardly have failed to find
a lodgment in Mr.. Borah's mind that
he might be four years from now
conspicuously available for promotion
to the presidency. Mr.. Borah, like
most men, finds ii hard to say mo"
fatty to an urgent request. At any
rate. the president did not think he
had mo- out of the senator. How.
ever, the administration guessed, and
guessed wrong.
The slip that was made in the opin-
ion of some friends of the president
was the announcement at Cleveland
that Mr. BOrah had been selected !
This gave the senator an opportunity !
to refuse before the nomination had |
been made. If, they say. the plan had |
been kept secret and Mr.. Borah had !
been nominated, he might have ac-
cepted. But this is only guessing. This
year a record has been made for de- /
clining nominations. Senator Ralston
refused nomination for president
that was almost surely his. And Gov
nrnOr LOwden refused one for vice
president that was already made. Mr.
Borah's disinclination was undoubt-
idly as great as that of either Sena-
or Ralston or Governor Lowden.
''The effort of the president to win
he consent of Senator Borah and the
subsequent indication by the admins
ration of its willingness to see Judge
Kenyon made the candidate show that
he president is less conservative than
lis party. His speech of acceptance
nay contain some surprises
