FOURTH DISTRICT.
Rural Free Delivery.

Under this head First-Assistant Post
master-GeneraI johnson, in his first an
nual report, says.
At tthe date ofthis report there are ac-
tually more applications pending than
there have been services established since
the first experimental rural free delivery
was started, at Charles Town. w. Va, on
October I, 1896.
The character of the service has risen
withits breadth of extension. Rural car
rters now register letters. give receipts for
money orders. cancel stamps and deliver
letters on their routes without their pass
ing through postofiee.
As the rural carrier service approxi-
mates IN its nature that established in cit
les, it is deemed advisable that similar
rules should prevail. therefore have
recommended that the carriers on rural
routes should be allowed Is days leave of
absence with pay each year, as are the car
riers in cities. Their fidelity of service
under conditions of weather and roads
which are often extremely trying fnlly
justifies in my opinion, this concession. {
=" Most of the arguments at one time ad-
vanced to prove that the expense of rural
free delivery would swamp the postal rev
enues and could never be counterbalane-
ed by saving in other service dispensed
with or by resulting increase of postal
receipts have been refuted by the logic
of actual facts, of which salient illustra-
tons will be found in other portions of
this report. In nearly every instance
where this demonstration is not made
clear the result has arisen from confusion
OF jurisdiction, susceptible of remedy by
administrative or Legislative direction.

THEY Do NOT PAY ENOUGH
MILWAUKEE'S REASON FOR NOT
WIDENING IT'S NARROW GAUGE
BRANCHES
HEARING BEFORE COMMISSION
Both Sides of the Case Were Pre-
sented Yesterday, and the Mat.
ter Taken Under Adj
Visement.

The state railroad commission heard
the arguments in the narrow gauge case
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul railway yesterday, and after the
hearing decided to take the evidence
expected for several days. The action
was brought upon a recent state law
giving the commission authority to order
narrow gauge roads changed to standard
where feasible and reasonable, within
a time limit Of their determination. The
defense of the Milwaukee was based upon
the question Of expense entirely. The ar
guments against the narrow gauge
branches to Zumbrota and Preston were
admitted.
The delegates from the towns along the
two branches were T. H Morgan, G. w.
Hard, r. E. Thompson, Preston; D. A
Mosher, T. A. Sanderson, Harmony; Will
lam Manuel, Canton William Hart, Ma
bel; o. K. Dahle, Spring Grove; John
Belden, Caledonia; Herman Philips, S.
Phillips, w. ]. Disney, L. A Doty.
Charles Radaburgh, Zumbro Falls; E. l..
Ford Walter Munzer, Mazeppa and
others.
II lTlSSH residents or towns along the
branch submitted evidence showing that
the present accommodations are made
quate. Their testimony showed that In
shipping grain, produce and other mer-
chandise they were put at a disadvan-
tage through having to transfer from a
narrow to standard gauge line and that
merchandise received by them was often
subject to damage and loss through the
transfer
The Milwaukee road was represented
by President A. ]. Earring, General Coun-
sci George r. Peck and General Auditor
Winney. The chief argument was made
by Mr.. Peck. He stated that to make
the change to standard gauge on the
Zumbrota branch would cost $347, 074 The
change on the same basis of the Preston
branch would cost 1888, 697. These figures
were based upon the estimates of the
chief engineer and were sworn to. Mr..
Peck stated that the branches did not
pay expenses, leaving a deficit yearly
Total freight earnings of the Preston
branch for 1899 were $133,5S1 and for the
Zumbrota branch, $103, 452.
President Earring stated that the Mil
waukee could not afford, In the face Of
these figures, to make the change. The
business in sight did not warrant the
great expense of making the changes
