DISCONTINUK SOUTH SIDK
BAIIY .MAIL SHItVICK.
V i
Inability to secure a carrier to
c6ver the sixty-four miles on motor
mail route B on a salary of $1,800 a
year has resulted In a discontinuance
of that part of tho ramto north of the
river. This order became effective
tfcdnomlay. Tho ivest ond of the
refute, more familiarly known as route
ono will be continued as heretofore
Under tho postal law tho salary of a
carrlor on n daily route up to seventy- j
five miles is limited to $1,800. and
therefore an increase in tho pay of the
carrier on route B could not bo in-,
creased. Six or seven carriers havo
been on this' route since it was cs-
tnbllshed a few months ago, and each
havo declared that the upkeep of tho
car Is so great as to leave them noth
ing for their labor.
It Is evident that the pay of a carrier
is not equitably rated. For instance
the carrier on raiHe ono, who travels J
twenty-nine miles a day, receives
$1,200 a year, but when tho north
sldo routo was consolidated and thiry
flve miles added, the lncreaso in pay
was but $G00 a year, whereas the more
than doubling of tho distance daily
traveled should, In all fairness, have
increased tho salary $1,200. Counting
tho cost of gas, oil, tires, repairs and
depreciation of car, a carrier on route
B cannot run his car for less than
four dollars a day, which leaves
him less than fifty dollars a month
for his services, while he should re
ceivo not less than $100.
Postmaster McEvoy has asked that
route B bo made Into two routes with
two carriers, in which case each
would receive $100 per month. Wheth
er this request will be granted has not
yet been learned.

Unearths Pralrlo Chickens.
Game Warden Owen Jones made a
"find"' yesterday, and somebody is
likely to get Into trouble. Ho succeded
In unearthing at the Union Pacific pas
senger depot a package containing
nine undressed prairie chickens whtcbj
had been left there to be delivered to
a dining car on ono of the trains, and
later to bo served to patrons. Jones"
took tho palrlo chickens to tho county
Jail where they will be held pending
evldenco as to who killed and delivered
the chickens at tho depot, who acted
as the agent for the dining car con
ductor, and the name of the dining car
conductor for whom thev wore intend
ed, ri
This may be evidence that is dif
ficult to got, but in caso of failure
Warden Jones will fall back on the
Union Pacific company.
Killing and selling pairio chickens
to tho dining cars is a vocation that
has been plied all fall and winter, and
Is an unlawful procedure. Warden
Jomos has known that it has been on,
but this wub tho firBt tlmo ho had
