CORTELYOU TO SUCCEED
Ex-Secretary of Commerce to Become New
Postmaster General.

Postmaster General.
Washington, Oct. 5.-In succession
to Payne, George Bruce Cortelyou,
former secretary of the department of
commerce and labor and now chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, will become postmaster gener-
al. Cortelyou's appointment as head
of the postofice department was de-
termined on several months ago by
President Roosevelt when Payne indi-
Gated to the president his desire to re-
tire from the department on account
of the precarious state of his health.
Payne would have resigned the port
folio long ago had it not been for then
pending investigation of the affairs of
the department.
He felt, however, and said many
times TO his friends that he could not
relinquish the duties of the Office while
the investigation was pending and ex-
pressed his determination to carry the
investigation to a conclusion. The in
tense mental and physical strain Incl
dent to the direction of the postal in
quiry very seriously undermined his
strength. He was warned again and
again by his physicians and friends
that he was subjecting himself to too
great burden, but he refused to heed
their counsel.
Having concluded the pressing work
rf he daYao WHY A. n yio1 hn IN
Quiry to a point where it passed from
the hands of the department officials
to- the courts it was his intention in
few months, at most, to yield to the
admonitions Of his friends and relin-
quish finally the cares and RESPONSE
bilities of official life. Whether, if he
had lived, he would have remained
at the head of the postoffice depart
ment until the close Of the present adj
ministration had not been determined
definitely, it is understood, although
the probabilities are that he would
have resigned to take effect about the
LIST of next January. Payne possessed
ample wealth. He hoped that on leav
ing the department he SO could ar
range his business affairs as to be
able to devote the remainder of his
hitherto very active life to rest and
recreation. He had promised his fami-
ly and friends never again to under
take any work which might imperil
his health, which for many years had
not been good.
It is the understanding now that
Cortelyou will assume the duties Of
postmaster general as soon as he con-
veniently can after the close of the
pending campaign. 1t is probable that
he will enter the Office about Dec. l,
although no date for the assumption OF
his new responsibilities has been de-
termined upon even tentatively.

Feed the Birds.
,r Of The Evening Star:

~ lut LultOC VI Inc ENthihS
During the prevalence of such wintry
weather as We have been having our
tive birds are apt to perish In large num-
bers. not from cold, but because of inability
TO secure food in sufficient quantities. At
such times very little trouble, particularly
on the part of those living in the suburbs,
will save many a life, and so prevent
material diminution in the chorus of bright
voices and the wealth of gay color that
are SO pleasant a feature of spring. The
Audubon Society joins with Mai. Sylvester
and the Game Protective Association in
urging upon all who have an interest in the
presence of the birds to make the trifiing
sacrifice of time and trouble needed to save
these attractive creatures.
The means are simple. Cornmeal, pre-
pared as for chickens, screenings, corn
tcracked or wholel, the fat of raw beef or
mutton, bread crumbs and bits of potato
meat or other scraps left from the table,
Will suit the various needs. These may be
thrown out on any bare place near the
house or, better yet the fat meat may be
tied to limbs of trees and the other food
placed on a shelf. fastened above the easy
reach of prowling cats. II the food be set
out Within convenient view of the window
the little trouble required to prepare II will
receive ample reward in the interest In
watching the birds that will gather each
day TO enjoy the hospitality. Downy wood
peckers, nuthatches, chickadees tufted tit
mice, kinglets. Carolina wrens bluebirds
Juncos Tor snowbirds), song sparrows
whit -throated sparrows, tree sparrows
and perhaps bluejays and cardinals cred
oirls) will be daily visitors. SQUIRRELS
cnlpmunks and maybe a rabbit or two will
also De likely to come and intensity the
interest and enjoyment Of the children.
The feeding may be kept up Throughout
the winter for the sake of the pleasure n
AFFORDS the household; but II is impera-
lively necessary. II we wish TO save life
when snow and cold deprive the birds OF
their usual sustenance. Remember that
the birds need our help, and in pronortion
as We enjoy the glazed hills they enjoy and
need our bounty. HENRY 0J DyS "o

3. The locator shall have one year
from date of location to make a dscov-
cry He shall set post or make a
post, as designated in Article 2 above, at
the place of discovery, and shall give
direction and distance in feet from his
initial stake. An affidavit setting forth
the nature of the discovery, together
with sketch of his location showing
discovery, shall be filed with the re-
corder not less than 13 months from
date of location.
Discovery is requirement which
might be dispensed with entirely with
out impairing the usefulness of the
law. But little attention is paid to it
now, and when it is complied with is
nearly always to the detriment of the
diligent. AS the law now stands. any
one making a discovery will hold his
claim though he located it subsequent
to one who made up to that time no
discovery. BY giving one years time
and requiring an affidavit of discovery
is certainly far better.
4. A location certificate setting forth
the items in Article , shall be lied for
record not less than 20 days from date
of location when the recorders Office
does not exceed 20 miles from place of
location. An additional day shall be
allowed for every 10 miles exceeding 20
miles by the usual route travelled. But
one location shall be recorded for the
same ground. and each location GER
tificate shall contain but one location.
At least one days labor of 10 hours
shall be performed for every acre To-
Gated, the performance of which shall
be set forth in the certificate of loca-
ton. Such location certificate shall be
sworn to before the recorder, in the
presence of at least one witness. before
it is filed for record.
That not more than one location
shall be recorded for the same ground
scarcely admits of controversy. There
is no reason why piece of ground
should be staked and recorded a half
dozen times or more, as is frequently
the case. If II person has not complied
with the law other means can certainly
be found far more effective than the
present method. and much more sim
pie. Nor is there any sense in allow
ing 90 days in which TO record claim
which may adjoin the recorders Office.
BY allowing one day for each addi-
tional 10 miles will give the locator
sufficient time to record his claim, no
matter how far it may be from the re-
corder's office.

Ques.- Will you kindly inform me
through your popular column of THE
NUGGET, what the registered passen-
ger capacity of the S. S. Oceanic is?
ID. L. Gray, Council City.
Ans.--I can find all other descriptions
relating to the Oceanic, but the one
you ask, and if some reader has de-
scription which gives the passenger
list, or the number of passengers she
can carry, will be obliged for the same.
The Oceanic is little larger than the
Kaiser Wilhelm ii. in maximum dis
placement, but believe the accommo-
dations for passengers are about the
same. The Kaiser Wilhelm ii. pass
enger capacity is as follows: 800 first
class, 400 second and 100 third class.
The difference between these two boats
is very marked, for one is built as an
express boat and the other for mail,
passengers and freight. The Kaiser
Wilhelm 1.-THE express boat) derives no
revenue from carrying freight, and in
order to get her best speed she must
consume about $50 tons of coal day.
1t costs about $3.50, 600 for every round
trip this boat makes. The Oceanic
draws her revenues from her large
cargo capacity lin the neighborhood of
$4,000 tons) from large passenger lists
and from carrying mail, also from SUBJ
sides from the government. This is
not an express boat in the sense of the
Kaiser Wilhelm H., but she will make
her time on daily coal consumption
of about $50 tons.
Ques.-Will you please tell me
through your column, what was the
first name the island of Great Britain
was known by. H. J. l..
Ans.-Julius Caesar upon his first
visit to the country now known as
Great Britain, which happened some
time during the year 55 B. c., icalled it
Albion, (meaning Whitley on account of
the white cliffs which were seen from
the vessels long before his party landed
to claim the country in the name of
Caesar. The history of England does
not properly begin till the 9Th. century,
when the Teutonic tribes which have
given the nation its name, gained a
fOothold on the island. To one not
familiar with ancient history it is
