LIMDBERGH LETTER
(CONTINUED)
But to get back to the post
offices in the district I assure you
that I know more about that
district than you do, and that I
intend to represent it in the
House, until the people select
another. It is to vour interest,
and to the people's interest,
that no professional politicians
shall dominate that district. I
will be glad to act with you if
are fair to the people and I assume that you wish to be; but 1
will fight to the very last if you
are not. If you will go with me
to the district or send with me,
when the session is closed, an
honest reliable party, who has
the necessary intelligence, I
will show you evidence that
will be conclusive that you
have been grossly misinformed.
You must remember that your
are dealing with human nature,
and that my aggressive stand
for the people there has seriously interfered with the schemes
of professional politicians, and
they are now doing their utmost
to discredit me. The people
there do not know who your Secret Service men are. They do
not want to be dominated by
their reports without a hearing.
They do not want their postmasters to be subject to charges of incompetency and sometimes dishonesty, and discharged without so much as having
an opportunity to defend themselves, and often without knowing the reason. Your Secret
Service men who usually visit
there are in all probability fair,
but some have been sent there
from other places, for what reason I do not know, and have
secured results that could not
have been obtained thru honest,
fair inspection. If you will go
on the ground with me, or send
the proper party with me, I will
show you proof of things that
have happened that will make
you think seriously of practices
that happen thru your system.
I believe in Civil Service properly administered, but when it
is not so administered it is abhorrent.
If you do not appoint the men
I recomend, when new postmasters are to be appointed, it will
not injure me half as much as it
will the reputation of your Department and some of the professional politicians; for the
people in that district know
that all sorts of inducements
have been made to me to make
me favorable to, or that I, at
least, let alone the leaders of
the House, I am not here to represent specifically the good
postmasters of the district, I
say good for most of them ate,
and the people there esteem
most of them, but they love
their families and their neighbors, and there are hundreds of
them t-0 every postmaster; lam
here to represent the best interests of all, and I will do that to
the best of my ability, patronage or no patronage.
When there are vacancies in
any of the offices in my district,
I am willing and glad to assist
you to obtain good, reliable and
honest men to fill the places:
but I must be treated fairly.
You cannot request   of   me   to
Proprietress I
name a man for one place, and
refuse me under like circumstances to name the proper man in
other places. If you do 1 shall
refuse to act in any case; but
nevertheless, on other questions
consistant with my duties, I
will give you all the assistance
that I can. At any time you
wish to go over matters of interest to the people in the district that will help you in your
work, I will give you all the information I have.
Of course, I am ready to act
now in the three cases which
are before you, it you will act
upon all. Then I shall not object to act in the Wadena case.
Respectfully,
C  A. Lindbergh.
The Wadena matter was then
controlled by Mr, Buckman and
the Senators. The sympathy
at Wadena was with Mr. Eastman who, with other citizens
there, sent Mr. Wood to Washington and he in good faith
made the arrangements referred
to. As a matter of expediency
I made no objection, for if I had,
Mr. Dower would have been appointed then and would be holding the office. I,'of course, reserved the right, as always, to
have the people control if they
so demand. If the case had
been my own I should have selected from among my supporters a competent man suitable to
the people for there are many
such, but it was not my case.
As things now are machine politics have blacklisted me. The
few cases I have referred to
in the above letter show, a part
of the methods that I am fighting against. I shall again go
to the people with their fight
for justice but it will be a different contest than the first one
for I have been collecting facts
for three years and I shall have
these in shape for making what
I hope to be one of the most interesting and instructive campaigns that has ever been conducted in the state. I shall be
prepared on my return, to inform the people thru a series of
speeches of what I have learned.
I trust the friends of government by and for the people will
be patient in awaiting that information till Congress adjourns.
The End.

offer quite large sums of money;
for instance, $150.00 will be offered for the best ten ears; probably $50.00 for the best single

Of course this will be confined
to the CROP GROWN IN MINNESOTA ONLY. It will also
no doubt be divided into north

out but will be at the tirst meeting of the Board in March. We

LACK OF WATER IN ALASKA
Contrary to popular ideas,
the chief obstacle in the way
of a large and increasing gold
output from Alaska is the lack
of water. Over the whole of
Se ward Peninsula, which produces one-fourlh of the gold*
of Alaska, and in most of the
interior as well, the climate
is comparatively arid, exct-pt
in small mountain areas. Are

THE  SILVAND0.
Queer Whistling   Language of the Canary Island Natives.
In Gomera, one of tbe smallest of
the Canary Islands, the silvando, or
whistling language, survives. A correspondent writes: "A traveler must
laud at the little port of San Sebastian
and there find a muleteer from the Interior. With him he must ride up the
stee;> bridle paths that wind through
the mountains. When no longer any
living thing ls within sight and the
wilderness ls only broken by the crimson flower of the cactus growing ln
the clefts of the rock, tho muleteer
dismounts, sets his forefingers together at a right angle aud places them
ln his mouth. An arrow of piercing
sounds shoots across the ravines and
up the stony terraces into the fastnesses of the mountains. A moment's
pause and tliere comes a thin, .almost
uncanny, answering whistle from far
away. Conversation begins and, tithe sounds rise and fall, are stacca-
toed or drawn out, so they are faithfully echoed and transmitted by the
hills.
"Then comes the ghostly reply, and
then question and answer follow without hesitation or misunderstanding.
Perhaps the stranger will ask, "What
are you doing there?' Answer: 'There
is a traveler with me. One of our
mules is lame. Can you bring us a
fresh one?' 'Yes, I can. Do you
want anything else?' 'You nxght bring
some milk along if you have any,'
and so on. That the conversation is
correctly interpreted is presently confirmed by the arrival of the mule and
the milk, and the distance that separated the parties to the dialogue turns
out to be about three miles.
"Long notes and short notes, rising
and falling tones, go to make this marvelous means of communication. No
re?ord Is to be found of Its origin or
history, and it will be a thousand
pities if scientific investigation is not
made before the silvando is added to
the list of dead languages, as assuredly it will be within tbe next two or
three generations."—Chicago News.
