Curvalhs, would be established on August 1st, 1903, the United states Rural Free Delivery Di vision of the -ostal department has been guilty of a breach of laith. Special Agent Clement was in Corvallis last February, and in company with Posl master John sou, made a thorough inspection of the proposed routes. After careful examination, he recom mends that the routes be estab lished. The superintendent of the Western Division at San Francisco gave his approval, and finally the department at, .Wash ington s'f cioned the project as shown by uie following letter, dated at Washingtor, D. C., May 7, 1903: Postmaster, Corvallis, Oregon: Replying to your letter of re cent date, requesting to be ad vised when rural service- from Corvallis will be put in opera tion,, I have to inform you that this service has been assigned for establishment on August 1, 1903 H. Conquest Clark, Acting General Superintendent Blue prints were made by the department and sent to Postmas ter Johnson as an additional as surance that steps were being taken to provide the service. Upon the strength of these ap- parently since promises, patrons of the proposed routes began to prepare themselves t take" ad vantage of this service when it should be established. In some instances boxes were secured and and put up, and many subscrib ed for daily papers, believing that these would be placed at tneir aoors Dy tne rural carrier within a few weeks. As time drew near to the first of -August, however, and the de partment gave no evidence of its intention to put its promise into effect, patrons grew anxious and the postmaster was worried with inquiries. He relied upon the word of bis superiors and assured all who made inquiry that the service would begin August 1st. Finally even ; his confidence was shaken and he wired theFreei Delivery v Division, stating that he had not received instruction relative to the inauguration of the new routes. A reply was re ceived from Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, last Thtirsdav. conveying the scant intelligence that there was not a sufficient number of houses along the routes, and they had there fore been abandoned. As there are more houses now along the routes than there were when Special Agent Clement recommended the service, and the department under Mr. Bristow's supervision gave assurance that it would be established, the depart ment's reason seems like a verv who are giving the project their support. In aa article in vesterdav's Oregonian, Hon. Tohn Minto points out the great benefit that will result from the extension of the Corvallis & . Eastern. He says in part: .

If Mr. , Bristow is determined that each route must serve 100 families and not one family less, whv was the seal of his approval placed on the ser vice in question? The great gov ernment of the United States cannot afford to break faith on so slight a pretext. Special Agent " Clement went over the ground personally, and the con ditions were such as to warrant a favorable report from him. He saw that the country is being set tled rapidly, and while, at present there are a few less than 100 families on each of the proposed routes, in a very short time many more than the required number will oe st rved. There is no' dis position en the part of any one to ask the department to be lax in its administration of the postal laws, but all concerned are de termined that the- government's agents shall have some regard for their promises to the people. Senators Mitchell and Fulton have been advised of the condi tion of affairs, and they may be able to present the matter in such a light to Mr. Bristow, that he will redeem the promises made by his department to the patrons of the proposed routes. The Ends it Would Serve. The Gazette has given con siderable space recently to articles urging the extension of the C. & E. railroad into Central Oregon. Its purpose has been to show that there is a growing sentiment in favor of this road, and to assist in the systematic agitation which it is hoped will result in bring ing aboutthelong-delayed comple tion of this, road. The matter is attracting the attention of the most influential men in the state, From thlQ nmnt TOPcfrwrarl ton miles, spruce" is largely mixed lars e Pe0Ple of the Willam- wun nr ana wnne nemioct, out l-V , ive wav tn roA-xr - A.-rA .
