SHOWS BIG DEFICIT.
Postal Department Runs Behind $IO,'
6i6,995. in Year.

Washington, Dec. II. - The annual
report of Postmaster General Cortelyou
shows receipts for the past year were
$167, ,932, 1925, while expenditures
were $17S, ,449, ,77S.S9. The deficit is
$40, ,516, ,995. "a.
Th postmaster general discusses the
deficit but says he is less concerned
about that than about the efficiency of
the department. He attributes the
failure to show profit to the growing
public demand for increased postal ia
cilities. The deficit is not charged to
any one branch of the service.
The remarkable efficiency of some
departments is commented upon, par
ticularly of the registry service. For
half a century all causes of loss, in
Guiding burglary, theft and fire, have
shown loss Of only three one-thou-
sandths of l per cent. Mr.. Cortelyou
recommends that deputy postmaster
general be appointed, who shall relieve
the burden borne by the postmaster
general and his four assistants. The
department has 320, 900 persons in its
employ and it is recommended Il at the
deputy's position be made permanent
and that he shall be general manager Of
the postal service. Greater accuracy in
statistics is recommended and Mr. Cor
telyou asks that provision be made for
expert statisticians and accountants.

CONGRESS RESUMES.
Short Meeting of Fifty-Ninth Session
at Work,

Washington, Dec. 4-The 59th con.
gress began its last session at noon yes
terday. 1t took the senate Is minutes
to arrange its preliminaries and the
house an hour. The senate received
from President Roosevelt long list OF
appointments for its confirmation, and
in executive session of 10 minutes de-
cided, as the nominations had been re-
ceived before the body had been organ
lied formally, to make no confirmations
until the presidents annual message
had been received and the session fair
ly started.
Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
and Foraker, of Ohio, came forward
with resolutions of inquiry regarding
the discharge OF the negro troops Of the
Twenty-fitfh infantry. One was adj
dressed to the president and the other
to the secretary of war. After the rip
pie of surprise had passed and Vice
President Fairbanks had suggested that
it was unusual to transact any business
until the presidents message had been
received, the resolutions went over by
unanimous consent. Senator Dupont,
of Delaware, took the oath of office.
The opening Of the two houses was
witnessed by an animated throng,
which filled the gallaries to their ca
pacity. Hundreds went away disap-
pointed in not gaining admission to
witness the session Of either senate or
house.
Not in years have larger number of
members-elect Of the lower house of
congress presented themselves at the
speakers desk to take the oath of office.
Death has been unusually active among
the membership during the closing days
OF the last session and the beginning of
the present, and Chaplain Couden feel
ingly called the attention of the body
to the work of the grim reaper during
the months since adjournment.
After the appointment of the usual
committee to wait upon the president
and inform him that the house was or
ganized and ready to receive any com
municaton he might desire to make of
interest to the public service, the house
adjourned out of respect to the memory
OF the deceased members The presi-
dents message will be received both in
the house and senate today No bills
were introduced in the senate. In the
house three We're 3S public measures
and $50 Of private character.

Brownsville Feels Gloomy.

Brownsvile-Inability to obtain cars
for transportation of lumber is paralyz-
ing the business of the lumbermen OF
this section. The shortage has existed
for seven weeks, during which period
not IA single car has been loaded at this
station, the railroad company absolute
ly refusing to supply cars at all. That
no relief is in sight is potent from the
fact that conference, held in Portland
a few days ago, between Mayor w. P.
Elmore, of this city, and J. P. o 'Brien,
of the Southern Pacific, in reference
to the car shortage, failed utterly, no
encouragement whatever being offered.

Linn Needs so for Grain.

Albany - There is great suffering
from the car shortage in towns on the
branch lines in this part OF the state.
Being a railroad junction and distri-
buting point, Albany is more favored
than any other valley city, but condi-
tions even here are very bad. Shippers
can get cars for Portland, but absolute
ly nothing for the south. The greatest
need is for cars for grain and farm pro-
duce on branch lines. shippers are un-
able to fill orders, and the demand for
cars is growing greater every day. At
least SO cars are needed now for grain
alone.
