BRANDON TO HAVE A POsTOFFICE
TIT Department Also Decides to Continue
the once on ROckefeIIer's Estate.

WAsHISoTo July ia post Office will
soon be established at Brandon, Franklin
county. N. Y. to accommodate persons at
that place who have been hut out of the
grounds Of William Rockefeller, in whose
estate Bay Pond and the only post Office
at present in that region are located. This
will bring to an end the problem that has
bothered the postal officials for a long time.
For many months letters have been CON-
ing to the Department protesting against
the continuance of a post office in tho
grounds of a millionaire, depriving people
Of their rights and cheating them of their
liberties
Mr.. Rockefeller had the post office re-
moved from Brandon to Bay Pond when
the Department found IL impossible TO get
a postmaster 10 serve at the former place.
Bay Pond is three or four miles from Bran
don and is in the heart Of the Rockefeller
estate. Postmaster-G General Meyer sent an
inspector up in the Adirondacks q week
or so ago to straighten out the difficulty.
He reports that he has found a man, Ludger
Grenier. who will serve as postmaster at
Brandon. Accordingly a post Office will be
established there at once.
The post office at Bay Pond will be oon-
tinued, as there are sixty or more persons
living on the Rockefeller estate who would
be put 20 great Inconvenience II they were
required TO 20 to Brandon for their mail.
We are not doing this to accommodate

day. He spends very little time at his
mountain estate But the people living
there need postal facilities, and we have
therefore decided not to put the Bay Pond

Kernohan, f.. NJ, Consulting Engineer"
Mr.. kernohan sells mining stock in Cleve-
land. with his picture ip the newspaper
to help soil the stock. With the help Of
the Burrs he sold several hundred thousand
shares in the British American Copper
Mines and Smelling Company. which one
man found by writing up TO Canada didn't
own all the properties IL said il had. He is
now trying to get his money back from
Kernohan. Undoubtedly as consulting en-
gineer for Burr Bros. MIR. kernohan has
reported favorably on the Pioneer Cab
Signal. Burr Bros. recently had to get
another consulting engineer to take the
place of one who resigned when he dis
covered the use to which his name was
being put. The Burr Bros. used to sell
mining stock from q Harlem fiat. Now
they have large Offices in the Flatiron Build
ing and advertise that they have branches
in Boston. Philadelphia. Cleveland and
Chicago.
There may be some chance for the Pioneer
Cab Signal. The C~hicago-New York Elec-
trio Air Line and the Toledo, Wabash and
st. Louis. whose stock the Burss have been
selling. maybe can use il some day.

in fact, that class was referred to by the
leading British technical papers at the time

arrangement and other points were OF
special excellence.
1T 10 true that their armor was badly
placed. but that arose from the addition to
the ships Of a great amount OF material n
stores and machinery not included In the
original design. IL 10 also true that they
lack balanced turrets. but when they were
built there were no such turrets in any navy.
Their 8 inch ammunition tubes also were
not sufficiently protected.
A to the criticisms directed at the large
size of the ports in the turrets, this has been
corrected in later designs by bringing the
~trunnioDs OF the guns nearer to the front OF
the turret. so that battleships Of later de-
sign are free from this defect. As to gun
platforms, which 10 the main purpose Of the
