STILL PLUGGING
FOR ERIE CANAL
Oaizeil Introduces Bill Pro.
vidine for Incorporation
ofthe Company.

Washington, Dec. i2.-Representa-
tive Dalzell has again introduced the
bill to incorporate the company which
desires to build the Lake Erie and
Ohio river canal. The second intro
duction during this congress has been
made because he desires to get num-
her of changes into the bill and 20
have been printed The only way he
could do that was to have the bill in
troduced a second time.
The changes made in the bill arc
principally those Of verbiage. The
only material alteration is the change
Of the section of the bill granting the
right of eminent domain, which also
defined that right. Instead of having
a section containing a definition the
amended section reads that the canal
company shall have the same power
as is granted to railroad companies
organized under the laws Of Pennsyl-
vania.
There is no time set for the consid-
Grafton of the ILL. Chairman David
son of the committee on railroads and
canals some time ago wanted to have
the bill brought up and passed under
the call of committees, but Mr.. Dali
I'll preferred to have it wait until he
had made the desired changes.

GROVE LOCATED.
The Famous kidnape 10 Said
to be In Johan neshurg,
South Africa.

Chicago, Dec. IL. = Pat Grove is in
johannesburg, South Africa. This
statement, which has been one Of the
many wild rumors concerning the
whereabouts of the alleged kidnaper
of Eddie" Cudahy, has been confirmed
by Stephen A. Grove, hotel proprie'
tor, and a brother of Slippery Pat"
Within the next few weeks the brother
says, Pat may surrender himself to the
authorities according TO an agreement
with Edward Cudahy when the $25,000
reward was Withdrawn recently for his
arrest. S
Only for the fact that the landlord
lost his temper recently when ap-
preached by an agent sent by Pat, the
brother might now be in the hands of
the authorities, and ready to face the
accusations made against him when
the Cudahy child disappeared under
such sensational circumstances.

MAIL MEMS
BUSY DAYS
Christmas Rush is Starting Early and
Post Office Employees are Work.
Ing Overtime.
RURAL CARRIERS DOING tn. IR SHARE

These are busy days at the Cantor
postofIice. The great annual Christ
mas mail rush has Degun. Assistant
Postmaster Leonard Cool says that the
mails at the present time are three
times as large as at the same time
any year heretofore.
From now on to Christmas the ac-
tiyity will Increase every day. A force
of six extra carriers will be put on
duty on December Is. and will assist
until tho holiday rush is over. The
postoffice officials promise that every
piece of mail will be delivered before
Christmas. The postoffice clerks ar,
already working overtime. 1t is not
practicable to put on extra help in
these places, and the regular men will
do the work by putting in overtime.
It will be a lively season in the mon
ey order division. Frank Goshorn,
superintendent of this department and
his assistants are already kept COM
fortably busy issuing orders to those
who buy gifts by mail. A large amount
of the business of this department is
the issuing OF the orders on foreign
nations which is very large this year.
Money and other articles intended as
gifts for friends and relatives in for
eien countries, have for the most part
been mailed before this. A letter mail
ed at this date would not reach any
European country until after Christ
mas. The foreign mail is now pretty
well ont of the way, and the postofIice
people are now confronted with the
difficulties Of handling the domestic
postal matter.
Santa Claus, as usual at this season
of the year, is getting a full share OF
the missives from the children. Or
dinarily the little folks who wish tc
communicate with this individual
write merely the name on the envel-
ope. and trust to the faithful postman
to deliver the letter. Postofice officials
are shrewd enough to deliver letters
to an addressee who is well known,
even when the place of residence is
not given. All: letters to Santa Claus
are sent to the dead letter Office in
Washington to be taken care of.
The volume Of mail being handled
bv the rural carriers has also increas-
ed greatly. During the present holi-
day season the carriers out of Canton
will handle greater quantity OF mail
than at any time since the rural de.
livery system was instituted.
