fruits more freely. Though canned fruits may be
thought costly, they are cheap compared with
the money often expended in patent medicines

this way be mostly avoided. Many dried fruits
are very nice when properly cooked. Cherries,

OPPOSITION Is T1E. LIFE OF Trade
Cherrytree Run has now four pipe liues in
operation-a good many for the reduced
production of that looality-the Central
Transportation piping to this point;. Boul-
ton & Bancroft piping to Columbia Farm /;
Richardson piping to Tarr Farr Farm, and
the Cherrytree Pipe Line piping to Rynd

With this number in operation the conn
petition on transportation rates and prices
for oil when delivered has become spirited.
The Central now charges five cents per Dbl.
and no per cent. off. After the lst of July
the Cherrytree pipe will charge ten cents
per barrel and one per cent off,

The new freight tariff of fifteen cents per

New Postal Reguul ltiOns.

As the new postal regulations possess q
legal as well as general impoi tance we
give them place in our local columns:
The new postal bill which became law
just before the session of Congress closed,
makes soue changes in existing postage reg.
ulations which are of general interest. The
most important is the authorization Of one
cent postal cards for correspondence or for
printed circulars, similar to those which
were introduced in Great Britain nearly
two years ago, and are now in use in nearly
all European countries. Tho House pro-
vided in the bill for paper flap TO cover and
conceal the writing. The Senate changed
this to an open card. In conference COM
mittee the style of the card was left to the
discretion OF the Postmaster General, who
prefers the open card and will order that
kind only to be manufactured. The face of
the card will bear one cent stamp, and
the back will be ruled for the letter. The
price Of the card and stamp will only be one
cent. 1t will probably be three or four
weeks before they will be ready for sale, as
the plates for printing have yet to be pre-
pared. The postage on circulars, newspa-
pers and .other transient printed matter,
which under the law was two cents for every
four ounces or less. Small circulars, which
formerly coit two cents to mail, can be now
be sent for one cent an important reduction
to business men who use the mails largely
to advertise their business. The charge is
now in force, the law being immediate in
Its effect.
