NEARLY 30,000 ROUTE8.
Between June 110, 1904, and March
1, 1!*05, the post office department
established 5,432 rural free mail de-
livery routes, making Ihe total then
In operation in the United States
211.1*98. Illinois has a (treater number
of routes than any other state, 2,450,
| owing to the thick settlement of Its
rural districts and the superiority of
its highways.
The rural delivery system already
costs the government $7,000,600 an-
nually more than It earns and every
time a route Is added the exc«-s9 of
postal expenditures over receipts is
Increased $250 a year, Nevertheless
public opinion sustains the post of-
fice department In extending rural
delivery. While it does not yet pay
the govenment financially, It is earn
Ing large dividends as a social Invest
ment. It has done much to amelior
ate the loneliness of farm life, en-
abling the farmer to get letters,
etc., almost as readily as persons
living in cities. It tends' powerfully
to stimulate and broaden the na-
tional intelligence. When rural de-
livery is exterded to a neighborhood
the amount of postal business Is in-
creased In that neighborhood rapid
ly. It therefore seems certain that
In time the system will become self-
supporting.
Oklahoma according to population
has a larger proportion of rural mall
routes in operation than any other
western state. There are six mall
routes in operation from Blackwell
and to put your readers to thinking

ness done In last month, (March)

McCLUXF'8 FOR MAY
McClure’s for May offers a great
variety of good things. It’s a far
cry from Lincoln Steffen’s story of
how New Jersey came to be the
haven of the corporations—and a
mighty unpleasant story It is—to
William James’ delightful and, of
course, distinguished appreciation
of one of the truly great men of our
time, Thomas Davidson. Then "Col-
onel Lumpkin,” John McAuley
Palmer’s reformed and satirical cap-
tain of industry throws light on the
street railway problem "Terrors of
the Sea’’—true tales of famous dere-
licts and historic ocean mysteries—
by P. T. McGrath opens up another
field of human interest, and a de-
scription of "Hans, The Educated
Horse of Berlin,” by a man who has
6een him perform, adds another to
the long list of varied articles—each
one absorbingly interesting. That's
the great thing about McClure’s;
anything in it is biund to be Inter-
esting. Even if the article Is
primarily instructive, important,
tliuely or significant, it is, above all,
made "good reading.” And Its fic-
tion is the real thing, too. This
month It includes a great sea yarn

glish writer; a Charles Stuart York

RAY SHAVER DEAD
liay Shaver, who was shot by the
foot pad at Newkirk last Wednes-
day evening, died Thursday at the
Winfield, Kans., hospital, where he
had been taken for treatment. Ac-
cording to the Newkirk papers Mr.
Shaver had been to the train and
was returning home and when near
his home was accosted by the would
be robber, who told kim to throw up
his hands. Mr. Shaver, instead of
complying, struck the fellow with an
umbrella and was immediately shot,
but the robber fled without robbing
his victim. Mr. Sha-er crawled to
the door of Mr Thomas, a ndighber.
and succeeded in arousing him and
was taken in and cared for. Doctor
Emerson, of Winfield, was called In
consultation and Mr. Shaver was
taken to Winfield for hospital care,
but his wound proved fatal, result-
ing in his death as above stated.
He was one of Newkirk's best known
young men, and his death under the
circumstances is indeed deplorable.

ure washing machim-e, for the next
