La replying to numerous inquir-
les, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Degraw at Washington
has indicated the purposes of the
department in connection with the
inspection Of rural free delivery
routes which is Ia progress, with
a.view of disseminating or reduc-
ing the service of such of them as
show little patronage. Inanswer-
ing the inquiries, Mr.. Degraw has
replied substantially as follows:
Sin discovering that there is lack OF
patronage on agiven route, consideration
isgiven first to the possibility ofincreas-
ing the interest in the service ON the
routes ; second, to the possibility of re-
arranging The route so as to increase the
patronage; third, to the possibility Of es
iaDitSillHg every otller udy survive III Ileu
of daily service, and, last, to its discon-
tinuance where the conditions are such
that the expenditure is unwamanted.
While no fixed rule as to the amount
of mail which should be handled on a
rural route has been adopted still The
department. feels that the average rural
route should handle 5000 pieces Of mail
per month .switn a possible minimum of

DANGEROUS PRACTICE

The TRANSCRIPT has, time and
time again, called attention to the
practice of carrying and using
pistols, reyolvers, and like IN.
lawful weapons. AS long as a
person has such q weapon about
him the temptation is to use it.
Sometimes the proyocation is
great but usually it is small. In.
nocent people are often seriously
injured by the reckless use of
guns Of various kinds. Last Sat
urday night, at least one young
man was Fortunate to escape by
inches. A revolver shot in the
middle Of the Town, with a crowd
all around was The means Of en-.
dangering this life. The reck

SOLVE rHE POSTAL PROBLEM


There viii soon be presented TO the
Postal Commission, which By direction
of Congress is inqniring into the working
of second class mail regulations to Eaarn
whether It's classification "sllond not be
grounded upon practical rather than ideal
distinction, plan for the settlement Of
the disputes over classification long trou-
bling the Post Office Department. This
plan, it is expected. will take the place
Of the proposal Of the Department, every
where warmly denounced, to combine
the second and third classes Of mail at a
uniform rate Of four cents pound.
The suggestion comes from the Period.
ical Publishers Association, the organi-
zation Of magazine aud weekly news
paper Publishers representing all the
prominent periodicals in the country.
Il is in effect that the Commissions
recommend to Congress the creation of
permanent postal tribunal on the lines of
the Interstate Com ,,erce Commission,
to deal with problems III postal classifica-
tion, as tie other Commission deals with
railroad rates. Such commission. il il
contended, would speedily settle disputes
which now cause so much friction be.
tween the Department and the publishers.
and at the same time would rid The sec
ond class mail Of the many sheets
masquerading as periodicals, while
really nothing more than gratuitously
circulated ad, ertising mediums The
eject of such clearance would greatly
reduce tie deficit from second class mail
handling and wonld renaer abortise f,lr-
ther agitation for an increase in tile Sec
ond class rate
The Publishers Association viii sng-
gest that such commission he composed
Of three members. one uf whom shonld
be familiar with the publishing business.
1t should have jurisdiction oser all mat
ters Of postal Classification. with an APP
peal only TO the United States Circuit
Court. Il should have the right to t,eny
the use Of the mails to vioiators and TO,
pass on oil applications for admission to
second class privileges.
With snch commission wedding out
Offenders sgaia-t tie postal regulations,
the Association believes that the present
rate for second class mail should stand,
except possibly il regard to free sample
copies Of periodicals. The plan has been
submitted already 10 the Post Office
authorities and il likely ~ have their
endorsement. II the Commission accepts
it, il will probably be enacted intn law
At the next session Of Congress and per-
end the troubles OF the Post
Office Department over second class mail
rates.

Two conventions were held on
Tuesday of this week. One, a
county convention for the nonsi-
nation ,pf county and legislative
nominees for Kent County Re
publicans was held at Dover. 1t
was not what might be called har-
monious, that is, not noticeably
SO. Starting with a clear MAJOR
ity, Senator Allee's managers
alienated enough of the delegates
to give his opponents control.
He seems to have secured ma.
iority of the legislative candi-
dates favorable to him for re-
election, but every one of the
county nominees is of the opposi-
tion. Much feeling was dis
played and unless concessions
are made the success of the ticket
in that county is endangered.
While not taking sides, we think
such concessions as are not mat
ters of principle should be made
by both sides, and the whole
party lined mp in favor of Repub.I
lican success.
The other convention was allI
that the Dover convention was
not. II was q so-called Union
Republican" State Convention,
although by action of the two
state committees, the two former
Republican Parties had been
consolidated into one. But,
nevertheless, about forty, not
more, delegates held this state
convention and renominated the
Republican State ticket, adopted
q platform and kept themselves
regular. /" Nearly two thirds of
the men present were from three
wards in Wilmington. St
Georges Hundred was about the
only rural district represented.
The sole intent OF this convention
was to make an apparent founda-
tion on which to build the pro-
posed ticket to be placed on the
ballot for grating purposes,
either from the Democrats to
keep it on, or from the Repnbli-
can candidates to take it down.
We do not believe the graft viii

expositions OF the 1904 scheme.

NEW OUTLET FOR G. N.
From Mouth of the CoIumbIa 10 the
British Columbia Line

According to IA recent article in the
Spokane papers President Hill is now
preparing to fill the gap between We
natchee and Pasco. The line up the
north bank of the Columbia to Pasco is
now under construction. The line from
Oroville to Wenatchee, while not un-
der construction, is considered GER
tainty and will be built the coming
summer. The Spokane paper says
james J. Hill is now reported to be
planning for road connecting the line
from Oroville to Wenatchee (the Col
umbia and Okanogan Valley road) with
the Portland and Seattle road at Pasco.
1t is also stated that this branch OF
about 100 miles will be completed be-
fore the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul reaches the coast.
"This would complete the missing
link in the Hill system and would give
the Great Northern a new outlet to
tidewater for eastern and central Wash
ington, without being obliged to haul
every thing over the the Cascades.
''The G. N. Ry. Co. recently gave no
tice of new issue of stock of 10000
600 This is to be used in betterments
and in the building of new lines Now
that the construction OF the line from
| Wenatchee up the Columbia into the
Okanogan region is assured, it Is re-
ported that Indications point to the
final link in this system being built
promptly
"This link would enable the road to
drain the resources of Ukanogan, Che
Ian, Douglas and kittilas counties and
to haul its freight by water grade to
the q, asst. The grade for such road
1t is claimed, might be less than one
hall of one per cent and would save the
present expensive haus, besides devel
oping an extensive and rich section o.
new country, and giving it almost ex
clusively to the Great Northern system
"The road, it is estimated, would be
about 100 miles long and would cost IL
the eighborhuod OF So, 600, 600, p"

G. N. POWER PLANT
Surveying Party Camped About Three
Miles Above Town

A Great Northern surveying party
last week established permanent
camp at the foot of what is known as
| Big Lake, about three and one-half
miles up the canyon from this place.
Big Lake is a wide place in the Wenat-
chez river some half mile long and from
three to six hundred feet wide. AT the
| lower end of this body of water the riv-
er begins to descend very rapidly, and
| in the following three miles of its course
the fall approximates one hundred feet.
1t is somewhat difficult to get inside
information, but enough has leaked out
| to lead to the conclusion that the Great
Northern considers this an available
sight for a large electric power plant.
The cost and the extreme danger to
human life in operating trains through
Cascade Tunnel by steam has long been
source of anxiety to the management.
That the use of electricity in the tun-
mel has been under contemplation has
also frequently been mentioned. The
problem appears to have always been
as to the best place to locate the plant
for developing the power,
Engineer Frank flaming in charge of
the party is said to have had consid-
cradle experience in this class of work,
being regarded as one among the most
competent electrical engineers in the
country
The plan being considered just now
is the building of a dam at the foot of
Big Lake, for which the location is suit
able and offers no great obstacle to be
overcome, the stream at this point not
being very wide and the banks solid
rock. From the lake an open flume
seven feet wide and seven feet deep
will convey the water to the point
where the power plant is located. 1t is
just possible that instead of an open
fume cylinder of large dimensions
may be used to convey the water to the
power plant.
The power plant will likely be located
some two miles below the lake which
would supply hundred foot head OF
water, and develop more than hun
dred thousand electric horse power.
The surveying party expects to he
employed in this work all winter and
have arrangements made for supplies
and daily mail.

RED MOUNTAIN ACTIVITY
Many Men Employed In What Will
Prove the Greatest Mining Camp
in Washington

Recently a number of men returned
from this popular camp. Some on bus
mess but most of them came to Leaven-
worth to spend the holidays.
The Chelan Consolidated Copper Co.
is doing the largest amount of work
and employs the greatest number OF
men but number of other claim own
ers are employing from two to five men,
and will continue TO employ them all
winter in developing property that is
sure to become valuable.
The building of a railroad by the
Chelan Consolidated to connect with
the Great Northern is generally be-
lieve to be certain and has proven to be
wonderful stimulant to the mining in
terests of this section
The quality and quantity of ore in
the Red Mountain belt has long been
known but the transportation problem
has been in the way of development on
q large scale. Now that good wagon
road is completed to the farthest prop
perty and the early building of a rail
road is assured development work has
commenced on a scale heretofore UNI
known.
Last week the Chelan Consolidated
sent the last wagon load of machinery
to the mines. The new machinery will
be installed at the earliest date posi-
BILE. The compressed air drill will ia
cilitate the driving of the tunnel on
which the company is now engaged.
In the early spring work will in all
likelihood begin on the railroad.
