NAMES WANTED ON
RURAL MAIL BOXES
Farmers Should Provide Suitable
Places For Stage Drivers
to Leave Me.il On. '
Now that residents along star mail
routes have their mail delivered and
taken up from private mail boxes, the
same as do those residing along rural
fr-'e delivery routes, they should be
made to con form to the same rules as
to location and kind of box used.
Every carrier for a star route has a
oomplaint to make that so many of the
fences are placed so that they are al
most inacce8sable from the roadway,
or at least so located that the mail
vehicle bas to be driven down in a
ditch or on a high bank in order tbat
the driver may place the mail in the
boxes or Use np letters from them
without gettidg out.
The patrons of the star routes should
be required to have regulation boxes
so that their mail would be safe and
out of the storms. A few have boxes
that will protoct their mail, but the
most of them nail an old broken box
to a post or tree, or lay an old nail
keg on the fence. This careless sys
tem is both an inconvenience and a
risk to the mail carrier, for the iuao
cesible location of the boxes causes
him needless delays tbat entail harder
driving in order to make his schedule
ou time, and the open boxes tempt
mischievous children and pilferiug
hobos to tamper with the a ail. This
rifling of a mail box might ctuse
eerioas trouble for the carrier for a
patron expecting a letter or package
and gettiug none might learn through
the forwarding postoffice that it had
been given to the carrier for dalivery
and the., this luckless fellow would
be called to account. The boxes on
the star routes iu Josephine county
need an overhauling and all replaced
witb regulation mail boxes and the
inoonveuieotly located oues placed
where the stage can readily be driven
near them.
Finds Dairying Profitable.
J. L. Williams, . who has a good
farm cn tlm Murphy-Provolt road,
midway between those places, was
in Grants Pass over Tuesday night.
Mr. Williams is now devoting his at
tention to dairying and is getting a
baud of flue cows. He h id au orchard
of some four acres, but hn is digging
up the trees as the exp use of ooltivat
iug, pruning and spraying a email or
chard is so great and the low priors
realized iu marketing fruit in small
quantities leaves 20 little margin of
profit that he fouud that the laud
would yield him more raising feed for
bis cows.
Mr. Williams is a man of progress
ive ideas and he is working for the
Miccess of the Applegiite Valley Tele
phone Company, that was orgnnii' d
at Pruvull (ii Saturday for the pur
pose of putting a network of tele
phones over Apphgate Valley to cm
nect with the Grants Pans system
Mr. Williams thinks that so soon us
the farmers fully uuden-tand the
proposition and money stringency of
Spring tini" is past that they all will
have a telephone placed iu their resi
dences Mr. Williams has a hand
some gateway to his premises and
extending across from the high gate
posts is sn arched sign board ou
which is pa;tited his name so strangis
may know whose farm it is. This
sign board is oriiniuMited with a flue
collection of deer hor.is, some of them
U'ing very flue specimeus and are
trophies from d er killed in the bills
back of his place. Mr. Williams is
contemplating utilizing this wa'te
hill land by using it for goat pasture.
He thinks there is big money in gnats
were it uot for the coyotes, and they
could be exterminated if the farmers
would undertake a srstematio cam
paign of poisoning these marauders,

Ed Lister To Operate Stages.
From what we can learn Ed Lister,
of Grants Pass, Ore., will receive the
contract for carrying the mail be
tween that and this place. The de
partmeut held up the lowest hid, the
coutractor or contractors not being
residents of this or the Southern
Oregon section. It is believed that
people having the present coutraot,
with headquarters in Portland, Ore.,
were the lowest bidders aud if they
are to be disqualified our people
will be pleased as (hoy nave not been
giving us good service, iu particular
the past five months. Ou the other
bund if Mr. Lister receives the con
tract he will fulfil all requirements
Record, Crescent City.
Mr. Lister has notification from the
postoffice department that ha had been'
awarded the contract. A feature that
is expecially complimentary to Mr.
Lister's ability to fulfill his contract
to the satisfaction of the postal
authorities and to the patrons of the
offices served is that he was'given the
contract though the present contract
ors snd two other bidders had lower
bids. This comes from Mr. Lister
having previously handle I a part of
this route and the department and the
public never had occasion for com
plaint. Mr. Lister takes the route July 1st
and be announces that be will give
the best mail and passenger service
ever had on the Grants Pars aud Cres
cent City line. He will put on large,
essyriding, four-horse stages and will
make fast time and a prompt service.
