The Great Northern is already con

management is not at issue, as there

COST OF RURAL NAIL
Uncle Sam Pays Big Sums for the
Delivery to Farmers.
About $4,000 Routes which Cost
S23,OOO,OOO Annually for Mainte-
nance-Postal Deficit Greater
Than Ever.

Washington, Dec. Am increased
deficiency OF 1888 per cent. over the
previous year is shown by the financial
statement of the postal service, incor-
porated in the annual report OF E. G.
Madden. third assistant postmaster
general. The report shows, however,
that the increase in expenditures is on
account of the rural free delivery
service. Were 1t not for this extraor-
binary expenditure the postal service
now would be about self-sustaining.
The total receipts from all sources for
the fiscal year were sl4S,5S2,624 and
the total expenditures $l52,362,116
leaving deficit of sS,779,492. The de-
ficiency for the previous year was a.
560,044.
To maintain service on free rural
delivery routes from July /, 1905,
to June 80, 1906, will require $21.360,-
00O. If the congress should make a
supplemental appropriation of $!SSv.OOO
for the current fiscal year as suggest
ed, additional routes can be estab-
lished, bringing the number in opera
ton June 30, 1905, up to approximate
ly $4,000. In that event about $751;
100000 will be required to maintain
the service during the next fiscal year,
making a total appropriation of $780,
10000 for the maintenance and in
stallation Of the service for the next
fiscal year.
Appointments of postmasters for
the fiscal year numbered 1882, a de-
crease of 1.249 as compared with the
preceding year, and was due to there
having been a smaller number OF ex-
pirations of commissions Of presi-
Dental postmasters and to the policy
Of the department in discouragins
changes in fourth-class postmasters
except for cause.
Extension of the rural free delivery
service has resulted in an increase OF
LIES in the number OF post offices DIS
continued during the fiscal year ended
June 30, according to the annual report
Of J. L. Bristow, fourth assistant post
master general. During the year there
were 2,5i9 post Offices established and
5.5S7 discontinued. There was a de-
crease Of 15S in the number of Offices
established. The principal cause OF
the increase in disturbances has
been the extension of the rural free
delivery service. The total number
Of disturbances was $3.50 post Of
fees, with a saving in salaries of post
masters aggregatiag s17l,12l. At the
close of the fiscal year there were H.
131 post Offices in the United States
oG5 first-class, 1904 second class, 1886
third-class and 65,766 fourth-class.

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

VIII Canada In the next quarter Of q
esntury take the place Of the United
States % the great wheat exporting
section OF the western hemisphere
Everything points that way. In the
opinion OF experts the United States has
reached high water mark as o wheat
exporting country. The increasing
population over there has reached the
point when home consumption is be-
coming annually greater In proportion
than the increase In wheat production.
As O matter OF fact wheat production
b decreasing over there as the land be-
comes more valuable and by reason of
the demand for other forms OF produce
for home consumption. 1t is said that
the wheat crop this year is not more
than 70 per cent. Of the crop Of 1901
and much below the crops Of 1902 and
1903. It is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export will
not be over 10O.OOO.000, which is less
than any year since 1873 with two ex-
ceptions. Not only Is this the case. but
O considerable quantity of the best Cam
adian wheat is being imported into Min
nesota and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will at
tract farmers to the Canadian North
west, where land Is cheap and can be
farmed on q wholesale basis, particulars
Of which may be had from any agent
of the Canadian Government The re-
duction of American exports will have
the double influence of increasing Can
adam production and keeping up the
price. It constitutes q roseate prospect
for this country, and needs no exercise
OF optimistic enthusiasm to foresee the
near expansion Of the Dominion into
the actual position Of the "granary Of
the empire"
