On the loth of this month
rural free delivery, tue hrst in
Crook county, will be established
at Madras. The -route will be 20
miles in lei.gth and accomodate
some 125 families living north of
Madras. The latter place by
reason of the establishment of the
rural route eniovs ouite a dis
tinction, for it is an unusual pro
ceeding on the part of the post
office department to order rural
free delivery from interior points.
This instance, however, is an
exception to the general rule,
brought about by the special effort
made by Representative William
son to have an appreciable favor
gTanted to his own county. While
Madras views with no little satis
faction the establishment of the
first rural route in the county, the
latter likewise has reason to feel
elated for, so for as known, Crook
county is the only one so sitnated
in the state to be provided with
this kind of government mail
service.

their home. The resources, ad
vantages and wonderful climate of
the coast states will be recognized
and appreciated. Familiarity will
not breed contempt as is usually
the case, but instead the rule
be reversed with resultant benefits.

cerning Crook county, which have
found a lodging place in the heart

four years, were gathered together,
what a magnificient collection of

Munchausen himself might view
the bundle with a deal of appro

months more rumors than usual
