fnent be afforded some discretionary aux

the first and second class Offices in order
that such emergencies as have arisen
in Butte could be made"
The postofice appropriation now
pending provides for an increase in the
salaries Of clerks and carriers to be
based on the receipts of the Offices.
Under the pending measure. the highest
salary that can be paid to carriers in an
office Of which the receipts are less
than $50, 900 per year is 5000. II has
been pointed out to the department by
postmasters in various places in the
country that the salaries provided for

local conditions. !, .8 II
NJ What may be done regarding the
Butte case is predetermined. The de
ipartment has not yet accepted the res

is realized by officials Of the department
to be serious, because in view of local
conditions at Butte, men easily may be
able to earn more money in other lines
of work. If the entire carrier force
should resign it will be necessary to
provide additional clerks at the Butte
office; to distribute mail at the postofice

Destroying Corporation Books.

Mr.. William NJ. WINS. who was the re-
publican candidate for mayor of New York
two years ago when the real race was be-
tween Mcclellan and Hearst, is digging I'D
some interesting facts concerning the mer-
ger OF the metropolitan traction lines. in his
capacity as counsel for the newly organized
public utilities commission. Mr. WINS Is
asking some exceedingly direct and pointed
questions, and is getting some illuminat-
Ing answers. He is, indeed. doing IN the
Traction world what Charles f. Hughes.
now governor of the state. did In the insur-
ance scandal II he keeps on at his present
pace he may become a political quantity of
commanding size.
Perhaps the most suggestive bit of infor-
nation thus far brought to light by Mr.
WINS Is the fact that the books CT the
metropolitan Street Railway Company OF
New York. covering its transactions up TO
1902, were destroyed in 1905, containing
the recorded details OF the great merger
which consolidated the traction interests of
the big city. There is apparently no doubt
OF the destruction of the books That fact
has been admitted on the stand by the Of
ficials OF the company. Yesterday the sec
Rotary OF the corporation acknowledged
that. acting on his own responsibiIity-which
may be variously interpreted-he sold the
volumes to a paper junk firm for SIT,
upon the guarantee that they would be &C
