Lost River Suckers.

During the spawning season IheBiickore
crowd Lost river at the Gap so thickly

preference to the one built by the
county because they say it is solider.
Ths people of the cnuntv throw them
into wagont with pitchfork! without
lessening the supply at thotu further
down the stream crowd Into the vaoant
placet. Nearly any day this time of the
year, a stream of double bed wagons can
be teen coming from the "fishery"
loaded to the top with tuckers. Ths
only accident in yesrt that has occurred
there was when one of the citizens trlsd
to drive across on the auckara in a strong
wind ttorm, when ths fish were blown
apart and in the rebound caught the
bortes and threw them with such force
that they became entangled and upset
the wagon. The fortunate pretence of
sn Indian woman on the bauk reduced a
probable fatality to a mere accident.

Rental of Postofflce Boxes.
Representative Stevens has come to
the front with a proposition to telieve
the residents of small towns from the
annual rental of postofflce boxes. He
baa introduced a bill authorising; ths
poat matter-general to purchase for tbe
United States all the postofllces boxes
snd box fixtures now in uae in the sev
eral postolBces where a charge Is made
fur the use of such boxes. Mr. Stephens
takes tbe position that the citizsnt of
these towns do not have the advantage
of free delivery, and are compelled to
rent postofflce boxes; and that tbe
amount paid In rental by each citizen
annually would often pay for his box.
lie further contends that it is unjust
that the citiions of the large, cities
should have their mail delivered to them
free when tbe citizena of small cities
and towns are required to pay heavy
rental for the privilege of getting their
msil when they go after it themselves,
or elre undergo the inconveuience of
waiting in line. On Sundays ani all
'egal holidays the mall ia not delivered
at the general delivery window, but for
a short time after the arrival of each
mail, and if s citizen should not happen
to be on band at that hour he would
not get his msil until next day. In a
word, Mr. Stephens proposes that tbe
reaidents of small towns shall receive
their mail under the most favorable
conditions, at no expense whatever to
theuitolves.
