SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.

In his annual report, the postmaster
general discusses at length the impo-
sition upon the postal service resulting
from the abuse OF second class mall
privileges. In n clear and convincing
way he shows that reform is urgently
needed. provision for which can be
made by congress through proper
changes in the postal laws.
Second class matter Is made up
chiefly Of newspaper and other publ
cations, and the amount OF postage
due In a given case is determined by
the weight OF the matter sent out. II
is a good law. but unfortunately 1t Is
open 20 abuse through loose inter
pretations End constructions.
The result Is that thousands OF pub
locations which are not genuine per
iodicals within the intent OF the law
are registered as second class matter
and thus receive the benefit OF the
low postage. Many OF these, 70 called,
periodicals consist OF books that are
represented q belong to a series, but
that really have no connection with
one another except In the desire Of
their publishers to secure cheap post
age. Others are advertising schemes
which under the guise OF genuine per
iodicals and with the pretense OF hay
ing bona fde circulation obtain tn
benefit of second class mail rates.
The postmaster general estimates
that the weight OF all second clasi
matter is three.ffths Of the tota
weight carried by the department. ant
that the cost Of transporting ant
handling 1t is n fourth the total cost
Of the postal service. The cost Of
the mails for the last fiscal year was
s115.551 800. one-fourth Of which Is
SOS. Sss, 730. But the department col
lected on second class matter only
s4294.2s5. This was about six times
more than the deficit shown between
the total cost and the total revenues
Of the department.

Flow Struck In the Rio orande Valley
Above Enule,

Flow Struck In the Rio Grande Valley
Above Engle.
News was received In Las Cruces
yesterday OF the striking Of artesian
water on the Waddingham lands on
the Armendaris grant, about eight
miles northwest OF Engle, says the Don
Ana County Republican. The news
excited great interest here, al II
strengthens the conviction held by
many citizens, and, indeed. by govern
ment experts who have looked the
valley over. that an artesian flow can
be had anywhere in the valley.
The fow above Engle was struck
by parties prospecting for coal In the
interests o. the Santa Fe railroad
Experts report the existence there at
the depth Of 1000 feet Of coal fields
from 10000 TO 10000 acres In extent,
and about two weeks ago a diamond
drill was put at wol X. with this most
interesting and important result.
The flow was struck at a depth OF
200 feet, and II runs 1000 gallons per
hour. The place where the drill vas
sunk Is in the foothills Of the San
Christobal mountains. and It is a rea-
sonable inference that. II the drill had
been put down at a point nearer the
river. where the altitude Is less, the
how would be stronger. Engle ia about
500 feet hihher than Las Cruces,
Further developments will be watched
with profound interest.
