P7 9o THIRTY-FIFTH YEAH. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., M VRCH 14, 1919. No. 18 4- COUNTItY ROADS TCltltlltLH ; MAIL CARRIERS GET STUCK It la said that die country roads have boon In worse condition thla week than at any period for several yoars, and only those farmers Who havo very urgent business havo been coming to town. Tho carriers on the rural mall routes In the vnlley havo been unable to cover their territory for two days. Wednesday Carrier Tlloy on Routes 3 and B was stuck six times west of the state farm and had to be pulled out. He returned to town and started out on Route B. Over at tho Quallcy farm ho was stuck so tight that a team of mules couldn't pull him out. Ho left tho car and walked to town and yesterday morning drove a truck out and after much digging pulled out tho car. On tho same day Allison Wilcox, carrier on Route 2 got as far as DIenor's but could not reach Blg noll, and Carrier Carpenter on Rfluto 1 got as far as the Platto Valley school house, Where ho found six cars stuck. Yesterday Carpenter again reached tho school house and by going through fields covered a portion of his route. Wilcox got as far as tho state farm but in getting that far was twice stuck. He turned round and came back. Tlloy attempted to again navi gate the road west of the farm but was pulled out twice and also re turned to town. Patrons on the routes are disap pointed in not getting their mall and make complaint, but so long as road conditions remain as at present, it is impossible for carriers to cover their routes.
