FOR PARCELS POST
Convention With Ger.
many in Effect.
FIRST Treaty of the Kind Ever M ade
by the Uniced States With
Foreign Country

The first parcels post convention be-
tween the United States and any
country in Europe is now fact. Post
master General Smith and Baron Null
Won Schwartzenstein, the German
Minister, lately signed such a conven-
Germany. 1t will go into operation on
October /, and will begin a postal ser
vice by means of which the persons in
the United States and Germany may
disc providing that they are put up in
packages which do not exceed eleven
pounds in weight. The postage rate
for parcels going from the United
for each pound or fraction of a pound.
The rate in Germany on parcels for
the United States is fixed at marks
and 40 pfennings a parcel, whatever
its weight, but a reduced rate of 1
mark and 60 pfennings will probably
be adopted for parcels not exceeding
in weight one kilogram, equivalent to
two pounds three ounces.
The United States has parcel post
conventions with several countries in
Central and South American and the
West Indian islands, but this is the
first convention which has been made
with any country in Europe. 1t has
been the subject of negotiation and
consideration for fourteen years As
long ago as 1885 the postal administra-
ton Of Germany proposed such an ar
| rangement between the two countries
and the proposal was renewed from
time to time. 1t was always declined
with the simple statement that the
United States was not prepared to ne
gOtiate such a convention with any
government of Europe. England
France and other countries of Europe
have sought to effect such an agree
ment with United States.

EUCALYPTUS TREE
Thousands to be Planted
in Cuba.
Designed to Reclaim Marsh Lands
and to Prevent Fever-General
WOODS Experiments.

1t has long been known that the
planting of eucalyptus trees has been
most beneficial in drying up marsh
lands and in preventing malaria. In
California especially thousands of
acres of marsh land similar to that at
Waikiki have been reclaimed by this
means. The trees are planted thickly,
some six or eight feet apart, and
thinned out when about five or six
years old. Their growth is very rapid
and the timber while hard to split
makes excellent firewood. The wood
of the eucalyptus is also exceedingly
tough, and in Australia is coming into
use for making spokes and felloes, as
hickory.
General Wood is now encouraging
the planting of the eucalyptus in and
around Santiago, Cuba, in the hope
that the same beneficial results may
be obtained there as in other parts of
the world, as will be seen from the
following:
Owing to frequent recommendations
to Governor General Brooke Of the
eucalyptus tree as an anti-malarlal
agent, some Investigations into the
subject have been carried on under his
orders. Attention has been called to
the success obtained in cultivating the
tree in the vast Campagna di Roma,
Italy, where eucalyptus is now recog-
nj WI
much less unhealthy. The City of
Mexico is cited as another instance,
where the Vigo canal the floating gar
dens and other malarial districts are
now we'll stocked with young trees,
with the results that the places which
were once marshy and unhealthful
have been rendered dry and innocu-
Gus.
One recommendation says that the
camp of the British troops in Jamaica,
which was formerly malarial, has been
planted with eucalyptus, the outcome
already being a steady disappearance
of marshy spots. The tree, which alb
serbs the moisture, grows very rapid
ly, often ten feet year. The wood is
valuable and honey bees seek the flow
ers. The honey, it is said, contains
important medicinal properties
The tree department at Santiago de
Cuba, now knowing of the investiga-
tons in progress under General
Brooke's direction, recently made re-
quest for several thousand eucalyptus
slips, the requisition being strongly in
dorsed by General Leonard Wood. The
officials in charge of the yellow fever
hospital planted several slips some
months ago, and these are now thriv-
ing. 1t is believed that great good will
result from the Investigations. Several
years ago experiments with the euca-
lyptus tree were tried here, the result
being satisfactory for the first four
years, after which, it is said, the trees
died, but the consensus of opinion
among the medical authorities is ia
vorable to a repetition of the expert
ment, which General Brooke will pro-
badly attempt at an early date on a
large scale.

benefit obtained was wonderfully; the
backache was entirely relieved and

Having often heard salmon anglers
who have fished the rivers of the Paci-

note to Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, and his
reply shows that anglers who want to

must have a long spoon. He says:

THREE FIRMS TO
Be LICENSED TO
RUN POOLROOMS
Trustee Sylvia Alters
His Opinion.
KINGSLEY & co. WELCOMED
sAUsALITo WILL SOON BE A
"WIDE oPEN'' TOWN.
Talk of Special Elections and Disin-
corporation, by Which Super
visors Were Delayed,
Is Dropped.
KINGSLEY & CO. WELCOMED
WILL SOON BE A
"WIDE OPEN" TOWN.

The talk of disincorporation at Sausa-
Ito in order to delude the Board Of Su-
pervisors of Marin County into thinking
there will be no need for them to pass an
ordinance virtually prohibitive of the pool
room traffic in that wide open" town
has been entirely dropped. Trustee Sylvia,
the boss" to whom all searchers after
wealth by chance in Marin must come
with their petition, has so decreed. More
over, there is to be no special election TO
be held to determine whether or not the
people of Sausalito want the poolrooms
this year
THE people voted seven to one for the
poolrooms last year" said Sylvia, and
there is no legitimate reason to suppose
as many think they have. We have
finally determined to hold no election, but
go ahead and license the rooms this year
the same as last"
Another radical departure has also been
determined upon. Last year the whole
Board of Trustees, composed of sylvia,
Thomas and Ambjornsen-Dickins and
Crumpton proving mere ornaments so far
as the passage of an ordinance is con-
cerned-decided that three poolrooms
would be too many and it went at that.
The wires Of Broyer, Glynn & Hum
phrey's establishment were cut and there
was a merry row all around. but the lit
tie boss Of Marin had his way, as he al
ways does in Sausalito. Now a change
has for some reason or other come DER
the spirit of the trio's dream and three
rooms are to be licensed. Nobody knows
the reason why this change has been de-
cided upon, but peculiar fact is that
nine out of every ten will make the same
conjecture.
Harvey & Co.. Humphrey & Co. and
Kingsley & Co. are the titles of the firms
that will hereafter sell pools on Eastern
races in Sausalito. So far as the will of
the populace is concerned, this move of
Sylvia will be welcomed. Their idea is,
the more the merrier. but there are few
who are opposed to the change, among
them being BILLY" Mcmillan and John
ny" Peters, two saloon-keepers, who have
a minority report 10 make. But their OPP
position cuts no fgure-there will be three
poolrooms Just the same. Sylvia has so
decreed. and his two satellites can be de-
pended on to stand firm.

CAP TAIN EDGAR
WILL NOT Be A
PRISON DIRECTOR

BIRLEM FINALLY TRIUMPHS

THE PRISON BOARD.
Harbor Commissioner Kilburn Said
to Have Interceded With Gov

of His Friend.
BIRLEM FINALLY TRIUMPHS
RAY WILL STILL REMAIN ON
THE PRISON BOARD.

The desire of J. c. Edgar. captain of
the yard at San Quentin Prison, to Sc
cure a position on the Board of State
Prison Directors is doomed to disappoint-
ment. So declares Governor Gage the
political mouthpiece of we'll known
Mexican colonel.
For some time it has been known that
Edgar was greatly DESTROYS of obtaining
position on the board, but his reason
was not so clearly understood. Edgar is a
wealthy man and has frequently in the
past asserted his intention TO resign the
cares of active life and take things
easy for the rest of his natural exist
ence. But finally the reason leaked out,
and then the omnipresent 'knocker' got
in his deadly work.
1t seems that for many moons Captain
Edgar and Captain of the Guard Birlem
as regards their official duties. To those
VINO are acquainted with the circum-
stances Edgar Is commonly held to be in
the wrong. However. he is credited with
give him chance TO make things inter-
esttng for Birlem. Then came the obsta-
Gle.
Captain Birlem is said to occupy his DO
Paris Kilburn, now Harbor COMMISSIONER
When Kilburn learned how things were
gong he is asserted to have interceded
with Governor Gage in behalf of his
friend.
Donald Ray, the director at San Quentin
whose position was for time in jeopardy.
finally reached the conclusion that he was
an Agulrre man, and that was all Gage
wanted. So long as he would have no
trouble with Ray he could remain on the
board. That disposed Of Edgar's chance
and now there is rejoicing on one side and
a marked feeling Of soreness on the other.
