The system started here few
weeks ago of sending westbound mail
to Portland via Walla Walla when
No. is over two hours late, has
turned out to be a farce, because of
indifference, or something else. on the
part of the railroad people.
Under the rule recently made by
the postal department at the sugges-
ton of the local office, all westbound
mail posted at the office up to p.
m. each day is sent to Walla Walla
on the evening train, and from there
sent to Portland on the Spokane Fly
er. thus getting into Portland early
next morning. However, this was to
be done only when No. was report
ed more than two hours late at 5
O'Clock.
Since the above rule went into eff
feet the postoffice people here say
that mail has been sent via Walla
Walla only two or three times. This
is because of the fact that early in
the evening No. ). is almost always
reported to be but slightly behind
time, thus preventing them from
sending the mail on any other train.
However. during the night it has been
the regular thing for weeks for No.
SIS time to be gradually placed back
during the night. and for II to pass
through here anywhere from o'clock
a. m. to or the next morning.
Consequently, the mail that is held for
the delayed train does not reach
Portland until late in the afternoon
and sometimes not until near even
ing. AS a result, great inconvenience
is caused, as such delay practically
means that an extra day Is required
to communicate with Portland.
This morning Deputy Postmaster
French made complaint to the rail-
way people here regarding the mat
ter, and it is said they will try to get
better reports on the train hereafter.
However, they hold that the fault is
with the dispatcher at La Grande, as
all reports are sent out from there.
Last evening the first report on
No. 3 placed it but half an hour be-
hind the schedule, and accordingly
the mail was held for it. However
the train did not pass here until about
6 o'clock this morning.
Since the first reports regarding
the train are based on its time al
Huntington, it seems strange there
should be such loss of time after
the first report is given. II the re-
port last evening was correct, the
train lost over sixe hours between
Huntington and this place. which is
said to be impossible
Unless more accurate reports are
received on the train hereafter it /.
! the intention of the postal officials
here to take the matter up with peo-
pie higher up and endeavor to secure
| such service as will enable them tc
| send out mail without such delays.

Realistic Scenes Reproduced at st.

The scenes Of the Saviour's life and

"The heaviest travel now moving
anywhere on the American continent
is now westward over the transcon-
tinental railroads to the Lewis and
Clark fair" said II. A. Durand, in
spector for the Pullman Palace Car
company. who was in the city this
morning on his way to Spokane on a
tour of inspection in the Pullman SER
vice.
Mr.. Durand's territory reaches
from Victoria, B. c., to the City OF
Mexico. and he covers every import
ant line of railroad in that immense
expanse of country.
His duties are to inspect the serv-
ice in the way of treatment of pas
sengers by employees, receive COM
plants from the public in regard to
the service and to guard against dis
honest and Objectionable practices in
the service.
He is supposed to be familiar with
conditions in every car in his territory
and to know exactly how each con-
ductor and porter treats the public.

suggests a change of manner or rec
ommends suspension and in this way
keeps the service satisfactory to the
travelling public as far as possible.
Mr.. Durand tells interesting stories
OF travel in Mexico In that country
are four classes of travel, first, sec
and, third and Pullman. Third class
is rough cars with board benches for
poems and the lowest class Of Mexi-
can taa5orers. Second class is fitted
with backs to the seats and cushions
like American smoking cars. Pull
man service there is the same as
here and the prices are about the
Rame.
He says the bulk of travel in lex-
leo is in the second and third class
cars, the poems sleeping on ths
benches and floor of the third class
cars like rats in a nest.
American travel in Mexico is max
ing a stronger demand for Pullman
cars and gradually the better class of
hexicans are patronizing Pullman and
first class cars exclusively.
Mr.. Durand has been in the service
of the Pullman company for rs years
travelling over every line of road In
the United States.

Dairy Cows Must Be Cared For.
In looking over many Of the reports
from men who have been through the

of the distinct dairy breeds, is the

Silaqe for the Calves.

Opinions differ as to what time of
life the calves should have silage fed
them. Some would give it to them
when they are six weeks old, but more
careful ones say wait till the calf is
six months old. The same people do
not turn their calves onto the pasture
till that time at least if the date would
bring them on the pasture while the
grass is still filled with succulence.
The digestive organs Of the calf do
not seem to be adapted to either fresh
grass or silage or any succulent food.
But when the calf is six months Of
age it is safe to feed silage, but the
amount should not be rapidly in
creased. The feeder must know
enough about the animal to tell from
day to day the effect of the food he
is giving, and must regulate the feed
ing accordingly. When a calf gets
old enough so that the silage will not
hurt him by reason of it's succulence
it becomes one of the best foods pos
sible to give. Not only is it's effect
healthful, but it is a cheap feed. The
farmers that have much young stock
to raise would find the silo valuable
adjunct to their feeding equipment.
