Three Things to Consider
In Buying a Stove or Range.
Quality Economy, Price.
First—A range or stove that is
—foa not made of the very best mater-
w ial w ik soon crack —it no longer
Sipiiiiiipiiiiiiiirf cooks well your money was
: ' wasted and you are dissatisfied.
fj Second—A range or stove that is
M la\ built so that the heat escapes
| illl consumes twice as much fuel as
fuel bill is too heavy and you are
|pjif if Third—Don’t yield to common
fallacy that the article sold for
fewest dollars is the cheapest—
if i- • king i.i s ,’i. built fot a long life it isa’i cheap at any
price—its not wiat y u pay for the th'ng that counts, its what you
get for the money.
Fourth —The celebrated UNIVERSAL Stoves and Ranges are es
pecially strong on all these points—in fact on all points pertaining
to s*ove perfection—made of the best material, don’t crack, will cut
your fuel bill in half, consequently the most economical. They are
worth every dollar you pay for them. It’s quality that’s considered,
net cheapness.

No -Decision as to Whether Washington
Avenue Settlement Will be Included
Subject of Special Investe
gation.
The Post office department at
Washington, in a letter dated
January 26th. to Postmaster
Jones of the Washburn office,
has ordered that Route No. 1 to
be established from this office,
will be commenced March 15tb,
1906, The route as it will be
established will be twenty-two
and one-eighth miles long. The
area of territory covered by the
route is about twenty square
miles. There are ninety-two
houses along the route and a
population of 460 persons will be
served.
The carrier will leave from the
office in this city at 8:15 a. m.
every day in the year except
Sundays and holidays, return
ing not later than two o’clock in
the afternoon. For this the
carrier will receive as compen
sation $684 per year, this to in
clude horse hire, etc.
Postmaster Jones has taken up
the matter of adding the Wash
ington avenue settlement to the
route with the department,
the road in that territory being
reported to be in good condition
for travel, and in reply to the
request the Fourth .Assistant
Postmaster Gene ai P said;
“You are advised that your let
ter has been made the basis of a
special inspection of the route
and the matter will receive at
tention at an early date.”
This would seem to indicate
that the inspection would be
made in sufficient time so that
that territory will go on March
15th or very soon thereafter.
A rural letter carrier examin
ation under the direction of the
United States Civil Service Com
mission has been ordered to be
held in the county Feb. 24th and
the necessary application blanks
are now at the Washburn post
office. Persons desiring to take
the examination should at once
file their application as it must
be in Washington, D. C. by Feb.
14th where it will be passed
upon by the commission before
the party can take the subse
quent examination which will
likely be held at the office in
this city. #
