The people o f Harney county are putting up a great big
kick about the poor mail service that obtains since the new mail
contracts were let in July for carrying mail in that section. The
Bums news says the service is simply rotten. How different the
situation is there from what it is here. Here we have four mail
trains daily. But never mind, Harney county, elect Bill Hanley
to the United States Senate and he will be a great big factor in
alleviating your mail situation.
I f you know or hear o f an interesting item in the community
make it a point to see that it finds a place in the local paper. We
will much appreciate your effort, and take means to ascertain
or verify any lacking points. Anything which tends to brighten
or better the news service o f a paper makes it of so much more
value to the community, and the subscribers are the ones mostly
benefited thereby.
The telegraph last week told a story o f 100,000 acres o f
wheat being destroyed by hail in the northern part o f North Da
kota.
How different here— no bad storms or high winds that
blow the crop out o f the ground, but a climate, even with frosts,
that year after year gives abundant yield o f farm produce.
A farmer in the Silver Lake country put 60 acres into alfalfa
and did not get a showing— hardpan too near the surface o f the
soil was the cause.
Nothing like that happens in this country,
but on the contrary three crops o f alfalfa are harvested. Better

are operating in different parts o f the city, according to reports,
and here may be another chance to get more street cleaning
done— if the thieves can be rounded up.
