Big Money In Poultry.

There are many chances to make
money In Oregon. but one source of
fortune seems to have been overlook cd
by most Of the men who come here
from the outside with money. This
gold creator Is best discovered by those
who keep house. Eggs are now SELL
ing, as all housewives know, for
about 80 cents dozen. Now good
old hen can be bought for 80 cents
and with proper treatment aud with
the absence of cold weather in South.
ern Oregon she ought to lay one egg
every other day.
That would mean 1SO eggs year,
allowing a few vacations for holidays.
Or, in other words. the hen would lay
10 dozen eggs year. These selling
at 80 cent dozen would bring 81. so.
One dollar a year will keep a hen
nicely in feed, and with 90. 80 profit
the hen would net an income OF 250
per cent. What better can you want?
Why in the world some of the real
estate men have not seen this chance
and gone into the poultry business is
a wonder 1t is better rate of in.
terest than can be derived by laying
out "A new townsite and opening an
addition, -Ex,

BIG DEFICIT IN POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT
Postal Rates Twice as High ss Pas
sen6er and ~ Times a. High
As Freiaht Rates.

A deficit of more than $40. 900, 900.
according to Mr.. Cortelyou. is the
result Of operating the postoffice de-
psrtment the past year. We ore the
only nation on the globe whose mails
occasion deficit. says the Portland
Journal. II Is sheer nonsense, as
we'll established by the offer Of r.
sponsible Chicago man to operate the
department to reduce all postal rates
one-half. to eliminate the deficit and
to pay the government all profits
above Z per cent on the necessary in
vestment.
Though there are other contributory
influences. the main source Of the
lackage is the extravagant sums paid
railroads for transportation Of the
mails. This item in 1905 cost the
government more than $37, 900, 900.
Of this great sum. 1t has been proven
on the floor Of congress that but 80 per
cent went for actual carriage of mail
matter, . proposition illustrative Of
our wasteful methods. For carrying
her mails England pays but "a cents
per pound; we pay 5.6 cents per
pound. Though the aggregate Of tons
of mails delivered is q thousandfold
or more increased there has been no
reduction in the rate for 2S years. In
that time passenger rates have Deen
reduced 81 per cent. and freight rates
40 per cent. but mail rates have not
shrunk the thousandth part Of
penny.
What makes the statement forceful
is that postal rates are twice as
high as passenger rates and A times
as great as freight rates per pound.
Though the mails and express are
carried on the same trains, require
the same care aud involve the same
responsibility, we pay no less than 10
times rs much as the express COM
panies pay for the same service.

More than this, all the furnishings
and equipment Of the car, amounting
to 48 per cent Of the total weight of
the mails. are charged up and paid
for by weight just as we pay for let.
ters by weight. In other words, 81. 80
per cent only Of the money we pay for
carrying the mails is paid for carrying
the mails. We do even worse than
this. After paying for the weight of
letters, paying for the weight Of the
msilbags and paying for all the
weight OF the equipment inside the
car at the same rate we pay for mails,
we turn around and pay for the car
in rent for one year more than it
costs to build the car.
