Never has the railroad passenger
traffic from San Francisco reached the
enormous figure of the past two weeks.
The details of the transportation his
tory following the headlong .ush Of
the people on April Is and subsequent
days are now becoming available. The
subsequent influx of supplies in its re-
lation to transportation presents in its
detail many interesting facts
The Southern Pacific threw its gates
wide open to passengers and carried
the destitute to local points without
tickets during the ten days after the
disaster; therefore the number of pas
sengers must be estimated from the
number of cars placed in service.
The day of greatest outgo was not
the 18th, but the 10Th, when the rail

1913 cars, equivalent, say, to train
ten miles in length. On the Goth nearly

Will not leave Postage Due Mail.

Postage due' matter for patrons
of rural delivery has always been a
source of much annoyance and trouble
for the various postoffices as well as
the department at Washington, and
in many instances has been a con-
tinual loss to the rural carrier, who
must pay the postage due before leav-
ing Oh their trips, and from one cause
or another would not be paid when the
matter was delivered. This in many
cases amounted to several dollars per
month loss to carriers. 10 overcome
all annoyance and losses and make the
handling of postage due" uniform,
the department has issued the follow
ing orders, which must be "lived up
to the letter:
"When short-paid and wholly un.
paid mail matter, addressed to rural
patrons, is received at your office, it
must be held by you until the ad-
dresses have been notified of it's re.
ceipt, and of the amount of postage
due, and have informed you what
disposition they desire made of such
matter.
Addresses may call at offices and
receive such mail upon the payment of
the postage due; or upon request, ac-
companied by the amount of postage
due, in coin. the carriers may deliver
the mail in the patrons rural mail
boxes.
Postmasters will not atfix postage
due stamps to part paid or wholly un-
paid matter addressed for delivery on
rural routes until the amount of post
age due shall have been paid in coin,
and the delivery thereof has been re-
quested by the addresses.
Mail matter found in rural boxes
without the proper postage affixed. or
money provided to purchase same,
should be taken by the carriers to the
initial postoffice to be held for post
age, and the sender notified of the
amount of postage due thereon. The
amount of postage due when received
by the postmaster, will be affixed
TO the mail matter, which will
then be dispatched. -

Banks Are Alarmed.

Word comes from Fit. Dodge that
catalogue houses of the country are
distributing circulars in that section of
the state which threaten the banks, as
higher rates of interest are offered for
the deposits of their patrons than it is
possible for them to secure at the banks
of the country towns. The Fit. Dodge
bankers have received notice of this
fact from the bankers of the smaller
towns, who are really becoming
alarmed 1t is understood that the
TO by. the small bankers, to secure
protection from the inroads of the
catalogue houses.
The offer made by the catalogue
houses is that people having money in
the country banks receive or per
cent interest for the use of their money
or nothing. Country banks generally
pay not over 4 per cent OH time certifi-
ates of deposit. The mail order houses

money sent them, in amounts from
S. to S., 900, send a certificate for 1T,
and pay 6 per cent interest semi
annually. The money may be had on
demand and surrender of the certifi-
cate 1t is also provided that the de-
positor may buy goods against his bank
account with the company and have
the amount deducted from his deposit.
This offer looks good, providing the
catalogue house is responsible, and it
is expected that thousands of people,
who now have deposits in the country
banks will draw their money and place
it with the mail order houses. The
catalogue house explains that it bor-
rows thousands of dollars in the east
each year, for which it pays a lower
rate of interest.

That Potato Bug Question.

There is a story going the rounds
of the press that two or three grains
of flax seed planted in each hill of
potatoes will keep away potato bugs.
If any of our subscribers have any
definite information on the subject,
let US hear from you. Iowa Falls
Sentinel.
We are surprised that go old rem
edy as that should have escaped the
perspicacity of the editor of the Sem
tinel, and he an ardent Cummins
man too. The theory is that the bug
crawls up the vine and in the dark
ness of early dawn makes a mistake
and eats the flax instead of the pota-
to. The flaxseed makes him so slippery
that he can't stick to the vine. he
| falls off slides along on the ground,
blown by the wind, until the friction
wears a hole through his hide, his
vitals are exposed to the weather,
modification sets in, and the bug
passes away. Some plant red peppt rs
in the hills and the bug sneezes it's
head off. Another is to plant ginger root
in the hill, the bug throws its head
back to cough, he loses his footing
and falls off, breaking his neck. All
of these remedies are excellent, in
their way. Bro. Stonerook will find
many quaint, curious and simple tonics
in the pharmacopoeia of nature that are
invaluable to the neophite in agricul-
tural pursuits. Britt Tribune.

Hen Feathers On Hats.

New possibilities are opening up for
the Iowa hen. From the dull grind of
supplying the wherewith for omelets,
: three fried straight up, F" or 'poached
on, a new and highly variegated set
of duties has been discovered for the
barnyard fowl. Chicken feathers are
now TO be the rage for identifying
the ladies' hats.
Big crates of hen feathers dyed and
fashioned into things of beauty and
designated by attractive names are
now being received by the Oelwein
jobbers.
Hen feathers have advanced 100 per
cent and dealers are scurrying around
|, in vain effort to keep up with the de-
mand. Special acquisitions for feathers
have been sent to the big poultry firms,
and poultry raisers are now giving at
tention to perfection of feathers quite
as much as to the quality of the egg
and the meat. Feather beds may be-
come extinct through scarcity OF
material.
| All this new activity in chicken
feathers is due to the passage of the
Audubon bill by the last Iowa legisla-
ture. 1t prohibits milliners from
offering for sale or having in posses
sion wild birds or their plumage,
whether the birds were killed within
the state or without.
The cleverness with which the mil
liners in Oelwein are adapting them
selves to the requirements of the new
statue is interesting. The most pop
ular feather today for trimming hats
is a common ROSTERS tail, F'renchified
so as to be called 'coque's plume, !"
and dyed in all the shades which now
find the largest favor-empire green,
garnet, brandy red, turquoise blue,
! etc.
''We manage to please our customers
about as well as BEFORE" said local
milliner yesterday. but of course the
law works considerable hardship in
the trade. A great deal of use is being
made of game birds, which may be
killed under certain restrictions and
barnyard fowls. Duck wings, the
plumes of the South American ostrich,
or vulture, pigeon wings, particularly
the Russian pigeon wings, may be
used under the law. These feathers
have all advanced greatly in value in
the last few wekes."
The milliner showed the reporter a
beautiful plume, manufactured entire.
~ out of small white chicken feathers
and which had the appearance of the
most ornate feather of some handsome
tropical bird. Ostrich plumes, which
are plucked without injury to the bird
may still be used under the terms Of
the new law. -Oelwein Record.

BREAKING REBATE LAW EASY.
Freight Agent Simply Bet Shipper $50
He Wouldn't Ship Over 20" Lines.

Charles Montgomery, mechanical in
spector for the MergentE aler Linotype
Company, of Chicago, was in Oelwein
few days ago to put in ali align
ment cam in the Americans machine
and while here he gave an interesting
account of how he personally witness
sed the beating of the rebate bill
during his stay in Minneapolis few
days before he came here.
"A representative of big lumber
concern in the state of Washington, I"
said Mr.. Montgomery, had purchased
six carloads of horses to be used in the
companys camps, and as the distance
between Minneapolis and Seattle is
something like 1000 miles, the gentle
man very naturally looked up the
railroad men to learn the shortest
and cheapest route by which he could
ship. He inquired of all the lines
with the exception of the @. B. & Q.
Then one day representative of that
line called on him and asked him if
he contracted with any of the roads
for transportation of his stock. No,
said the shipper, Il have not seen
the @. folks yet. and knowing that
his visitor was the representative of
that line, said, but it don't make
much difference over what line ship,
it's all even. may ship over the

quickly replied the Q. man.
"'I'll just take that bet, cried the
westerner, as he pulled out his roll.
''The freight agent was just as quick
and handed his $3.50 to the hotel
clerk as did the western man.
Nov, young man, said the ship
per, come over to your Office and I'll
show you how easy it is to separate a
sucker from his money. This is too
easy.
"They then went to the company S
Office and the western man contracted
the shipment of his six carloads of
horses over the @. road to Seattle,
asked the agent to come back TO the
hotel and release the money, which

stakeholder to pay the western man
