IIMOSIPS WORKED
ON STAR ROUTE
CARRIERS
PARCEL POST HAS ITS TERRORS
FOR THE RURAL DELIV
ERY CONTRACTORS.
Washington, Jan. 29.-(Fpecial.)
Complaints from star route mail car
riers of the western states, over the
hardship worked on them by ri.ason
of the parcel post, continue to pour
into Washington. This class of car
riers are in many cases confronted
with bankruptcy as a result of being
forced to add largely to their equip
ment and to carry ordinary freight as
mail, for which they relelve very lit
tle and in some instances l to extra
pay whatever. Representative 21tut
dell recently called the aIttention of
the house to a few cases of this sort
brought to his attention, which tnal
be taken as fair samples of what many
star route carriers in other vwestern ii
states have been complelled to put Up
with on account of the iparcel post.
Mr. Mondelt told of a carrier int the
northern part of ,Wytoming who, ha:v
ing driven up to the postoffice with a
two-wheeled cart, his usual vehicle
for carrying the mail to a Montana
office 100 miles north, was confronted
with a parcel post mail made up of
2,400 pounds of flour. l,iuu pounds of
sugar and several kegs of horseshoes.
Another star route carrier who part
of the time, when the weather is bad
carries the mail on horseback, was
over-joyed the other day in the tmtidst
of a winter squall to find awaiting him
the first half-ton installment of a five
ton shipment of beans! Another who
had heretofore been able to carry the
mail in his saddlebags over rough
mountain trail every day in the week
but one, when a pack mule was used,
threw up his hands one morning when
the postmaster pointed out his parcel
post mail--19 bunches of shingles,
seven 50-pound sacks of dried fruit,
six boxes of crackers and cookies,
three of soap and two large sacks of
miscellaneous parcels.
Mr. Mondetll told the house that the
Star ValleY creamery in the western
part of his state had advised thim it
would begin at v0ce to ship Its prod
uct of 600 pounds of butter daily by
parcel post.
From practically all of the western
states come similar reports from star
routes where the parcel post rate for
the first and second zone is from 20
to 35 cent per hundred lower than any
freighter can haul-and the result is
that Uncle Sam will get tle business.
The postoffice department has alreadly
had weighings to determinte what ad
ditional compensation shall Ie award
ed these carriers, but thus far the
awards made have been far short of
the actual expense incurred ill trants
porting' the extra weight.
MILWAUKEE ROAD SUED
FOR KILLING OF MARE
That one of its trains "ran over and
against" an eight-year-old brood tl1ore,
causing its immediate decmise, is lthe
allegation that Thomas Nichoes, a
rancher, makes in regard to the Chli
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Itailway
company, in a suit for $225 damlages
filed yesterday in the district court.
It is alleged in the complaint that Ithei
mare strayed "casually" upon the
track which was not protected by a
"legal fence," and that the plaintiff
therefore is entitled to damages in the
sum of $175 for the mare and aln ad
ditional $50 for the loss of a colt,
which, after the death of its mother,
found life on this sphere too much of
a burden and gave up the vain fight
for existence.

IQUESTION OF SANI TY
TO BE HEARD
.TODAY
A. P. ARTHUR, WHO SHOT A. O.
ROBINSON, WILL BE EXAM
INED AT COURTHOUSE.
Beginning at 10:30 a. m. today, there
will be an examination made into the
sanity of A. P. Arthur,: who, about 10
daYs ago, shot A. O. Robinson three
times at the latter's home in Orchard
Homes. Thef hearing will he con
ducted before Judge R. Lee McCulloch,
sitting in place of Judge Patterson,
who has been disqualified.
The story of the assault upon Rob- I
inson is a pculliar one. At the time
of the shooting it was charged that I
Arthur, a neighbor and friend of long
standing, called a:t the home of Rob
inson to hear selections played on the
Robinson phonograplh. The evening
was passed in a most enjoyable man
ner, nothing occurring to disturb the
harmonious state of affairs. There is
the saying that "Music hath charms to
sooth the savage beast," but, according
to Robinson's story of the affair, such
was not the case this time. Arthur
rose to take his departure and Robin
son, the host, followed him out the
door. Then, Robinson claims, no
sooner had the outside been reached
than Arthur drew a gun and turned
on his whilom friend, inflicting three
wounds with as many bullets from his
weapon. Arthur was arrested and his
victim taken to the hospital. The
ihearing to be held this morning is the
outcome. -H. L. S.
SEE IF THE CHILD'S
TONGUE IS COATED
If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give
"California Syrup of Figs."
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, it is a sure sign that your lit
tle one's stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing at
r once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
tdoesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act
Snaturally, or Is feverish, stomach
sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache,
sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold,
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," and In it few hours
all the foul, constipated waste, undi
gested food and sour bile gently
e moves out of its little bowels without
8 griping, and you have a well, playful
child again.
b You needn't coax sick children to
take this harmless "fruit laxative;"
s they love its delicious taste, and it
e always makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,"
which has directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
n plainly on the bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. To be sure
g you got tile genlluine, ask to see that
s it is made by "California Fig Syrup
SC('ompany." Rtefuse any other kind

CAUSE AND CURE
Editor .1issoulian --In today's paper
thtr(o appleaLrcd anIther news article
si:tilar- to it,' of a few days ago that
hap)ptned in ltavalli county. The artI
C'1i in questioni was headed this way:
"I'ndress'd in Snow Then Slashes
'lThrotat." Then you give all the details
ofI ttht aittittimpteid sticide of this unfor
tlllliuate tll,. You say that he was
drlunk, andt hail bIen for several days,
but you did noit place the responslbility
for this affair. ('ould this manll have
secureld enoIughll of the stuff that nmakes
iien foolish tlnder munici)pal ownership
and opleration of saloonllis to have gotten
in this condition? llow lotng will the
olllllltounity gio oni licensing private in
dividuals to carry on this work of de
structilton? I suppoiiise it will go on as
long as the tbusinless will pay a license.
Every day we read in the press of all
maIners ol.f ini tles colommitted buy per
sontils uIlnder tlhe influence of liquor, and
yet society says that this institution
Imust c'ontinue in our mIidst, simpllly be
cause it pai)'ys a license. Mr. Editor,
wolld lul advocate the location of a
place inl Missoula, where all persons
addicted to the drug habit could get
the drug without any restrictions; pro
vided the party or parties who wanted
to establish this place was willing to
ipay a nilce, fait license fee? Yet there
are it thousanllld more crnimes commit
ted 1by the peoptile under the influence
of liqtluor than by people under the in
fluenct'e if drugs. Had this "poor un
flortunate" tullly hlad the sense to pur
chase a few quarts of "Duffy's Pure
Malt Whisky," such as you advertise
in your paper, no such thing could have
happlened to him. As the "ad" says, it
"would have made. a man of him."
Verily, we are some "civilized" nation.
