NO PENNY POSTAGE.
Rural Delivery Puts Time of Reali-
cation Far Away.

Washington, Aug 25.-Postmaster
General Payne, who came to the post
office department dreaming of penny
postage has almost given up the idea
that he will ever see his ideas realized
AT the time Mr.. Payne became post
master general the departmental reve-
nues were almost equal to the expend-
itures-the first time such a thing had
happened in many years-and he
thought at the time that by the intro
duction of penny postage the business
interests of the United States would be
greatly benefited at no great cost to
the fedreal treasury. The vast expend-
itures now being made for rurla deliv-
cry, however, and the prospect of their
being greatly increased in the next
few years, has convinced Mr.. Payne
that it will be many a long day before
his dreams are realized.
Rural Delivery Plans.
Estimates are now being prepared at
the postoffice department showing the
probable cost of maintaining the rural
free delivery service during the fiscal
years 1906, and upon which the APP
preparations at the coming session of
congress will be based. According to
the figures already made up by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow,
the rural rice delivery in operation on
June 30, 1905, will cost approximately
$40, 600, 900 year to maintain, and in
order that the service may be extended
in conformity with the present plans
of the department and what are be-
lieved to be the wishes of both houses
of congress, an additional sum of So
600, 900 will be necessary
Even this great amount which will
be expended for rural service in the
next fiscal year falls far short of the
total estimated forthee same year by
former Superintendent of Free Delivey
Machen.
The present plans contemplate a
gradual and reasona BILE advance in the
expenditures each year until the grand
total of $40, 900 900 is reached. 1t is
believed that eventually practically
the entire country can be covered with
a network of rural routes in operation
for this annual expenditure.

law Declared Unconstitutional by
Supreme Court.
Olympia, Aug. 26.-In an opinion
just handed down, the supreme court
has declared unconstitutional the law
permitting municipalities to levy a
poll tax, thus invalidating the law I'M
der which all poll tax has been levied
in the state of Washington since state
hood and making impossible the fur
Their collection of that class of tax, at
least until new law shall have been
framed.
The opinion was written 10y Justice
L. j. Anders, and is dissented from by
Chief Justice Mark Fullerton. 1t is
declared repugnant to section of arti-
Gle of the state constitution, relating
to taxation. The law provides for ex-
emptions on account of age, for fe-
males, members of fire departments
and others, the classic fiation being
made regardless of the property of
those exempt or their ability to pay.
BY reason of its lack of uniformity
with the classicf iations as provided by
the constitution; that is, by reason of
the exemptions named, the law is de.
clared unconstitutional.
The decision was made on the appeal
of Clarence W. Ide, United States cot
lector of customs, who refused to pay
the poll tax levied by the city of Port
Townsend by ordinance under the state
law. He appealed to the court for the
purpose of testing the constitutionality
of the law. The effect of the decision
will be widespread, involving nearly
every municipality in the state.

HAD A NOVEL FEAST.
International Commission Hold
Banquet on Alaska Boun-
dairy Line.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 27.-The
steamer Danube, from the North,
brings news of happy event in con-
nection with the fling of the initial
monument which is to mark the boun-
Diary between Canada and Alaska.
The Danube took the commissioners
representing Canada and the United
States up the Portland canal They
were Prof. W, f. King, of Ottawa,
head of the Dominion astronomical
survey, and o. H. Tittmann, superin-
tendent of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. The former was ac-
companied by his daughter and the
latter by his wife.
Monument Is Placed.
Last Friday the initial mark was
placed in position. The spot was de-
termined by triangulation. 1t is To-
Gated at a place known as Eagle point
near the mouth of the Salmon river
and the boundary extends due north to
mountain indicated by the boundary
tribunal short distance above the
56th parallel. From there it follows
the tops of very high mountains.
AT Eagle point monument was
erected the laying of which was mark
ed with an interesting ceremony. The
monument is a four sided magnetic
bronze pyramid, which stands six feet
high and tapers from six inches at the
top to eleven inches at the base. On
the side facing the east is the name
Canada" and on the opposite side the
name Omitted States.' The structure
was erected on concrete foundation.
and is expected to last for many CEN
turtles.
Unique Dinner.
After its erection what will be a
historical event took place. Near the
site of the monument was found an old
wooden building, which had been used
for dwelling at some time, but which
had long since been abandoned Here
it was that a jovial party, including
the two boundary commissioners, the
ladies in the company and the officers
OF the Danube, gathered after the work
of placing the monument had been
completed. A dinner was spread with.
in the old ramshackle place, the table
being set on mark that left it half
within American and half within Ca
madam territory. Some of the men,
bers OF the. party occupied seats on the
q anadian side and others on the Alas
ka section. Toasts We're drunk to King
Edward, President Roosevelt and the
governor general of Canada. The new
line, it is said, gives to Canada, at the
base of the mountain chain in cues
