This administration seems to be
rather prolific with scandals of one
fort or another. Going back to
Mckinley's first term we had the
scandals of the army, and they
were numerous, then the trouble
with Medley and his confederates in
Cuba. Next were the tales of
torture told of such men as "Hell-
roaring" Smith in their treatment
of native Filipino prisoners. And
now comes the worst of all. dis
closure of as thoroughly rotten a
postal system as ever cursed any
country at any time. Verify, we
believe we need change. that we
may see if there are not other
places in the good ship of state
that need repairing.

Captain Castle, the auditor of the
treasury of the post office depart
ment, estimates that the postal
deficiency for the fiscal year Just
closed will be S4,617, 2O3. The
deficit for the previous fiscal year
was 50, 961, 179. This big increase
is attributed to the enormous in
crease in expenditure for the rural
free delivery service during the
past year. The receipts of the post
al service for the year were sl34,-
1909 and the expenditures $685.
$50, Sl2, the deficiency in the free
delivery service is not definitely
known beyond the estimate made
weeks ago by the postmaster gen.
eral that it would be 1927, 900 by
the close of the fiscal year. The
deficiency, however, may prove
considerably larger than that figure
CNumerous frauds are doubtless
the cause of a considerable portion
of the shortage.

Knott Celebration.

While the larger towns and cities
were celebrating the Fourth in re.
gal style, some of the more isolat.
ed settlements were none the less
patriotic and proper observance OF
the national holiday was shown by
a good, old-fashioned picnic. Al
Knott, the new postoilice in this
county, with its tributary mining
camps, a three days picnic was
held and everybody, far and near,
turned out to make it a success.
The time was spent in foot racing,
dancing and a general old-fashioned
visit.
Those who participated in the
celebration were M. b. Marrow
and family, Miss Ella Clark, M. NJ.
Bricker, G. S. Thompson, j. q.
Callahan of Fall creek; X. A. Muir
ply, Miss Scott, II. K. Smith and
family, Florence; Jack Howard.

Wiley, Mrs. f. Howard, Dave
Lewis, Ross Howard, X. G.. Her
man, Arthur Mcfarland, J. Briggs,
and several others whose names
we did not learn.
The picnic was held at the home
OF Chas. Waldom and much credit
is due him for the success of the
meeting which was greatly appre-
ciated by all. A great deal of in
formation was gathered as to the
condition of mines throughout the
district and the splendid reports
received did much to strengthen
the confidence of those who have
cast their lots in this isolated sec
ton. On whole it was a most
enjoyable meeting and goes to
prove that a full measure of social
pleasures can be secured even in
camp where the inhab-
itants possess the true spirit of
hospitality.

SURPLUS FUNDS
MAY BE INVESTED
BILL FOR GOVERNMENT TO DRAW
PROFIT FROM 1T DEPOSITS.

Washington, d. c., Dec, 7.-Repre,
sentative Prince of Illinois seems to
have evolved an entirely new scheme
for securing to the government some
return for it's surplus, without at the
same time taking money out of circu-
lation. He expects to introduce soon
after the opening of the regular ses-
sion a bill which is almost certain to
provoke general comment, and which
may be enacted in whole or in part as
an ingenious system for lettering the
present financial conditions.
For several years the financial world
has been urging the government to
keep as much CT its cash balance as
possible on deposit with the national
banks so it might not be taken out OF
circulation entirely, The banks have
not paid any interest on these
enormous deposits, although the gov
eminent has paid it on the bonds
necessary to secure deposits. The
plan is to invest the surplus in state
and municipal bonds and place them
in depository banks.
