THE \. 4 w. REPORT.

A synopsis of the advance sheets OF
the Norfolk and Western annual report
is presented in THE TINES this morning.
The phenomenal record of Virginia's
greatest corporation is given another
notch.
The statement itself contains the
food for reflection and NO summary here
can do justice to it's magnificent show
ing. The great and overshadowing i'm
portance of local traffic in volume and
as source of revenue shows how the
Flown Builder" has developed the ter
ritory through which it passes.
The report should be carefully
studied and read between the lines.
One great idea should take possession
of the people of Southwest Virginia
The Norfolk and Western has added
millions to the aggregate wealth Of
this section-to the wealth of its resi-
dents. What should the people do for
the Norfolk and Western? Identify
themselves with the road.
Treat the road as savings bank. Buy
its bonds and stocks. Every merchant,
manufacturer, farmer and shipper along
its lines should own Norfolk and West
ern securities. They are good invest
ments, and will, year by year, improve
in value. Tie to the road. Share in it's
profits. Develop and protect it's inter.
ests, as it protects and develops yours.
Make the road as far as possible home
concern. No more wisely, literally,
yet shrewdly-managed corporation is tc
be found on the American continent.

lished

Having spent the time set at this
most interesting point we set out af
ter dinner for Sentinel Dome, which is
4, 100 feet above the valley. It was
quite trip but well paid the effort
made to reach it I quote again from
DR.. Peck's description of the scene at
the point. 'sThe galaxy of glories
which here spreads out to our vision
Clouds Rest, Half Dome, Cap Of Lib
erty, Mt. Starr King; Vernal, Nevada
and Yosemite Falls, and the vast am
pitheatre of the higher Sierras, forms
a panorama of splendor and sublimi-
ties, that, once seen, will remain in
eXaltation and transcendent glory.
But the wings Of Imagination droop
languidly in the vain attempt to re-
produce any adequate conception of
the wondrous vision from Sentinel
Dome" If DR.. Peck despairs of Civ
ing a description of this scene how
shall I attempt it?
There are hundreds of visitors about
this region, most of the foreigners and
those from a distance making their
homes in the hotels. Many of the Cal
ifornians and their friends are here

enough to visit this wonderful region,
and then to live years to enjoy it in

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS.

In three years more than one siXth
of TIE whole number of postoffices in
existence have been established. The
number of presidential postoffice S
has been incre ased IS per cent. In
three years the postal revenues have
increased $40, 900; in the three
years preceding the increase was S24,
100000 A comparison of similar pc
RODS shows that only one piece Of
registered matter in 10000 pieces
mailed is lost, instead of one piece in
in every IA, 500. Almost $4,000, 900
more miles of post routes have been
traversed, and over 2,100 new routes
have been opened and 255 new cars
put on. Almost SO per cent more of
mail matter has been handled by rail
way postal clerks, and "a per cent.
more of mail matter has been distrib
uted by postal clerks for city delivery.
Money order Offices have been in
creased from 1874 at the end of the
last administration to 1906 at the
end of the first three years of the
present one; the present year will
probably see the number of money
order offices doubled. The free de-
livery has been put on in 80 offices,
and 2,4OO additional carriers have
been appointed. For the three years
prior to 1889 the increase of dead let
tiers was almost 80 per cent. for the
last three years the increase has been
less than 10 per cent. The office of
fourth assistant has been created and
the departmental system reorganized
on business lines.
