Need Of a Foreign Parcels Post.
New York Independently


A foreign parcels post is a growing ne
cessity to the manufacturers of the
United States. At present the regulations
Of the postal service reject any packet
of samples Of merchandise having asal-
able value. No complete article can be
sent as sample; only one glove of a
pair, or one shoe. The postage rate
amounts to $3.50 for a pound package, or
SIC for ten pounds. At present we are
not able to reach the interior towns of
South America by any means at our COM
mand. We must send our goods to a town
on the coast, and the consignee, in the
interior, must send to the coast to get
them. This Is practical prohibition of all
trade between the two countries in small
packages. Give US a foreign parcels post
similar to that enjOved by our European
competitors and we can rapidly enlarge
our trade with South America. The post
master general by and with the consent
Of the president, has power to negotiate
parcels post convention with any for
eign government at his own discretion.
We have negotiated such conventions
with Mexico and some Of the republics of
Central America, and the West Indies.
There Is also In operation a treaty with
Germany, involving a parcels post-very
much to the advantage, however, of
Germany.

REPORT ON THE
WEATHER BUREAU
Prof. Moore Tells Of the Condi.
ton of the Service.
USEOF WIRELESS
EXTENSION OF FORECAST WORK
is IN CONTEMPLATION.


Washington, Dec. 8-The annual re-
port OF. Professor Willis L. Moore,
chief Of the United States weather
bureau, says that substantial i'm
provements have been made during
the past year in the weather bureau
system Of wireless telegraphy. Such
progress has been made by the govern
ment experimenters that, with no in
reference by private systems, stations
can be successfully operated over at
least $50 miles of coast line and are
now in operation along the Virginia
and North Carolina coasts and soon
viii be instituted between the Far
TalOn islands and the mainland. and
Tatoosh island and the mainland of
the Pacific coast.
The system of selective telegraphv.
he regards as well demonstrated the
oretically, but had not been fully test
ed in practice. The report SAYS:
A system of merit and discipline
has been gradually developed in the
weather bureau, which not only con-
forms to the letter of the civil serv-
Ice law, but carries its spirit to a
logical conclusions The system com
pels each employee or official TO work
out his own official salvation. It is
fair to ALL it enables honest and ef
hcient persons to work themselves up-
ward; it contributes to a high stand
ard Of manly character and to eff
toiency in public office and it holds
back those of mediocre attachments or
Of slothful habits"
Extension Of Forecast Work
An important extension of the fore
cast work OF the bureau was made
during the year whereby meteorological
reports from certain points in the Brit
ish isles, the continent Of Europe and
from the Azores are transmitted to
washington and with observations
from Nassau, Bermuda, and Turks ISL
and, are regularly published on the
weather maps, together with forecasts
or the wind and the state of the wealth
er Tor the first three days out Of
steamers bound eastward.
In number Of Instances. when
storms of marked strength we're pass
ing eastward off the American coast
forecasts of the weather which prob
ably would be experienced by steamers
leaving European ports westward
bound were eabled to England. Fog
predictions are also issued. Reports
from steamers show that these fore
casts and other special warnings have
been verified
The climate and crop service of the
weather bureau has been improved.
The cotton region service has been ex-
tended into Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory and arrangements have been
made for beginning a similar work in
California, TO be known as the fruit
and wheat service.

MOUNTAINS OF COPPER
Dr.. Johnson Describes Copper
River Region, Soon to be
Opened Up.

DR.. W. W. Johnson. now Of Dawson.
who is spending a few days visiting
old friends in salt Lake, says that the
Copper river country, which a dis
patch says is to be tapped by a rail-
road, is one of the richest mineral dis
tricts on earth,
Il have never been into this part Of
the country" said DR.. Johnson last
evening, "but I have talked with men
who have been all over it-men whom
1 know well-and they say it is Won
derfu1. Colonel Bannister, an old min
ing man and a friend of mine, and A.
S. lies. a New York expert who went
through this country, both say there is
enough copper there to supply the
world. There are boulders of native
copper weighing a ton and more, and
/ copper ore that viii run 20 to so per
cent, and in immense bodies. 1t viii
! cost a great deal to build a railroad
in there, although it is only about 100
miles, but it viii be worth the expense.
There is q rich agricultural country in
there, too. There is a tall grass which
makes excellent feed for stock, and a
climate winch VIII allow oats, Eege-
tables and other things to grow. You
see. it is protected by q high mountain
range from the winds and the fOgs.
/ There is gold in abundance, in addi-
ton to the copper"
DR.. Johnson expects to return to the
/ Klondike in the spring, as he has a
number of claims there.
THE history OF the Klondike is like
that of every other big mining camp"
he said. First there is the stampede
I in which large numbers are disappOint-
ed Then there is a thinning out, and
those who remain conduct operations
on a more conservative, business-like
and scientific basis. There is a wonder
fully rich country up there, and it is
being developed more and more all the
time. There is plenty Of opportunity
| for a practical man with a little
money"
DR.. Johnson says hay is getting
cheaper in Dawson and the vicinity
| il is only about $3.50 q ton now. II for
merly cost about $500 to $500 a ton TIE
! cost win probably not be under 500
a ton for some time to come, as & costs
that much to get the hay into the coun-
try. Living generally is about a third
as expensive as 1t used to be, and a
man who does his own cooking can live
! fairly we'll on 81 a day.

TROUBLE FOR OIL MEN.
Union Pacific VIII Fight Locations
or Railroad Lands in Wyoming.

on Railroad Lands in Wyoming.
Trouble is in store for the prospectors
for oil who have located claims on
Union Pacific unpatented land in Wyo-
ming. C. A. Black of Omaha, land ex-
aminer for the Union Pacific, arrived
in the city yesterday and announced
the intention OF the company to fight
all such claims, carrying the cases to
the United States supreme court, if
necessary.
In the field near Aspen and Pied
mont" said Mr.. Black, "a number Of
people, including, I believe, Senator
c. D. Clark of Wyoming and Senator
Kearns of Utah, have claims upon land
included in the Union Pacific grant
They take the ground that the land is
unpatented, and that it can, therefore,
be located under the placer mining
laws as oil ground We shall fight
these claims on several grounds. First,
we shall maintain that no land can be
held as oil land unless it is producing
oil in paying quantities. The mere
superstition from surface indications
that there is oil is not sufficient. Then,
even if it is proved that the land is
producing oil, we shall claim right to
the patent because we have been pay
ing taxes on the land since 1886. In
that year congress passed a law max
ing the railroad pay taxes on all lands
included in the grant, whether patented
or unpatented. The company has paid
these taxes regularly, and this, we be-
lieve, is sufficient to give US right to the
land.
1T is not the intention of the COM
pany to hold back the development of
fbe oil resources of that mart Of fbe
state. On the contrary, the Union Pa
eific would like to encourage the devel-
opment. But it doesn't propose to give
its land away. 1t wants to sell at a
fair price to people who will develop
it."
Mr.. Black has been spending con-
siderable time in the Wyoming oil
fields, and has great confidence in their
future. He says nearly dozen rigs are
already in the field, starting on boring
operations.

WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
Philippine Tariff VIII Occupy Time
of the Representatives.


of the Representatives.
Washington, Dec. s.-The house this
week probably win pass a measure to
met the situation created by the Phil
ippine decision of the supreme court
last Monday. Up to the present time,
however, the Republican members Of
the ways and means committee have
not decided upon the character of the
measure which will be reported.
A difference of opinion exists as to
whether there should be a temperarv
enactment of the Dingley rates on
goods entering the United States from
the Philippines or whether a perma-
nent scheme Of tariff legislation for the
islands should be prepared. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Payne, chairman of
the committee, and Mr.. DalzeH favor
the latter course.
The Republican members of the com
mittee will meet again tomorrow, OF
course, if it is decided to enact a tenn
porary measure, the procedure will be
exceedingly simple and 1t probably can
be passed in a day
