MEN WEIGHING THE MAILS
-Four Hundred Engaged in The
Arduous Task.
WILL REQUIRE ABOUT los DAYS
MAIL FOR EVERY STATION WILL
BE WEIGHED ON THE
TRAINS.
WILL REQUIRE ABOUT 1o5 DAYS

Four hundred special employees
have undertaken the task of weigh
ing the mails carried in California,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, and
the territories of Alaska and Hawaii
for fixing the compensation to be paid
railroads and steamship companies for
the service
The exact time set for beginning the
weighing of mails on every railroad
and steamship line in the west was
1901 a. M, Tuesday, February 20.
The task will require los days Dur
bulk On every train or steamship that
carries mail at a prescribed rate. This
weighing will be done by the regular
railway mail service clerks, when pos
sible, by extra clerks when necessary.
When a Northern Pacific train leaves
Portland for ST. Paul the clerks will
weigh the entire shipment of mail re-
ceived at Portland.
The individual mail for every station
en- route will be weighed before being
thrown off the train and the mail re-
ceived at each station will also be
weighed. In this way an accurate
statement of the amount of mail car
ried will be obtained.

CONSUMpTION'S WARNING

The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives 50
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
companied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Work Done On Trains.
This weighing will be done on the

cept in the case of mail shipped on

The vast amount of mail shipped to
and from Walla Walla on the Northern
Pacific and o. R. & N. is weighed on

somewhere in the United States every
year. The country is divided into four
divisions, the western states and terri

heaviest mail carrier in this division.

An Johnson the Situation Cleveland Which

Ing advantage OF every quirk IN the
laws. a. fast as the low fare fran.
ohlees we're found 10 be technically
faulty the council OF Cleveland has
given new low-farc grants curing the
defects.
The last ditch OF the company
seeking TO maintain monopoly OF
the streets came M the announcement
OF tho doctrine that the existing rail.
road had a property right Ia the
streets and that the grant Of fran.
chiso carried with q certain implied
advantages running beyond the term
OF the grant; also that this property
right amounted 90 an Implication uf
the exclusive right in the streets. Thus
it WAS sought 20 defeat competition
during the terms OF q franchise and TO
make the extension or regrant OF the
franchise dlncult 4 not lmpofsiblo

A learned Judge, IN a most carefully
prepared decision. has announced the
principle that there can BE- no proper.
81 rights Ia the streets except the
rights iO be- found in a strictly con.
stFued franchise grant. and that the
use and benefit of the streets hy the

mount tO any implied privileges or adj
vautages OF a former grantee
Thus we see in Cleveland the SIT
uatlon reduced 70 its lowest terms
namely, that the existing public ser
I vice corporation Is merely a tenant up
on the property OF the municipality
and that any further favors or grants
Of whatever nature must be secured

The events Of the past four or I'VE
years IN the street railway coutroyer-
sy In cleveland have furnished ma
terlal for a great deaf OF newspaper
and other public discussion. As tins
contest has arrived at a climax, 70 Is
interesting 20 see y iiat the real issue
"a and how II has worked itself out.
The situation in Cleveland % only
an acute and welldehnod example Of
situation which D. halng felt Ia
many of the cities OF the country. Il
seems 90 me that the fact that stands
out most prominently aud which ia
defined with remarkable cioafncH5 Ia
Cleveland Is that q new era has open
cd ln the popular conception of the
relationships between the public ser
vice corporations on the ono hand and
the public, upon which they depend
for their franchise grants and 20
whom they render service on the
other.
This fact d che most important one
10 that &c has forced 10 Cleveland an
admission on the part OF the street
railway company that u Is 90 the
public Ia general that public service
corporations must in the future l00h
for further privileges,
In the old DAYS the control of city
councils and state legislatures mas
been Huflclent t0 secure franchises
worth millions Of dollars. Councils ant
other legislative bodies are coming
more and more 90 a recognition Of th,
fact that they stand merely az agents
for the people by whom they wer,
elected. and that bargains which thol
make must be couched in terms sat
iaiaciory 10 and understood IN Cd
vance by the general public
