PRESIDENT LoEwENBERG, of the
old stove foundry company, who
unloaded their plant on the state
for $4,000 two years ago, was in
Salem last week and offered the
state $4,000 a year fol 20 years to
rent the whole thing beck. The
law provides that the labor Of the
convicts shall not be leased for less
than 35 cents per day, each. Mr..
Loewenberg says that this is too
much; that 20 cents a day is as
much as 40 cents was ten years
ago. He would be willing to keep
within the letter Of the law, but
asked that while he might pay So
cents each for a certain number,
the governor would turn him over
enough more Of the convicts 10
make up the difference. Governor
Lord refused to do this and no
agreement was reached.

Another claim which met with
Objection at the secretary of states

OF 60 cents per month for every

be diminished after they are once
set In place. Whether burning or
not, it is all the same. Secretary

busy people, in the country, can be
reckoned the inventors. The re-
cords Of the patent office show that
during 1894. S6,sS7 applications

were granted. The amount Of
labor and study put upon these
inventions must have been i'm

A POINTER FOR THE CARELESS.
How unused Railway Tickets May Be Re-
deemed at Slight COst

How unused Railway Tickets May BE Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets on their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go TO the railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value in money Most men, how
ever, do neither, and accept the loss
when the ticket is worth less than dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even of small
value, so that the companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
per year by reason of this neglect or ig-
norance.
Every railway ticket bea-s the name
of the general passenger agent of the
road issuing the same. 1t is simple
matter to inclose the ticket with let
ter directed 70 tho general passenger
agent asking him TO refHnd the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket is left unused in the hands of
the purchaser. 1t Is courteous to inclose
a stamped envelope in which tho money
may be returned. a
When al these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt of the ticket holders communi-
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation consists in
the proper Identification of the ticket
and little bookkeeping to set all right
in the accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceives from the company a check for the
amount due, along with letter request
ing acknowledgment ON the part of the
recipient. That closes the transaction
and there is no material loss ON either
side New York Sun.
