The United States govern
ment annually pays the rail-
roads $32, 100000 more for car
rying the mails than the ex-
press companies do for carrying
the same tonnage. The average
rate for hauling 100 pounds of
mail between New York and 40
important commercial centers
is Sol, while the average rate
express companies charge for
hauling goods between the same
points is $4.87. But the express
companies pay to the railroads
so per cent of their gross re-
ceipts, which would make the
railroads compensation for car
rying the 100 pounds $2.43 as
against $8.01, which the gov
eminent has to pay. Why
should more be given for car
rying mail than is paid for car
rying express? Manson Demo

New York, March 20, 1906.
To the Times: Here we are in
New York again. Il is the same
old noisy town. All! tie people
that We're here when we were
here in August last are here

their relatives have moved to
town. Every time we go down
town it seems that there are
more people on Broadway than
There were the time before.
How they expect to handle the
people OF this town Is years
from nnw is more than we can
imagine. The surface cars,
the sub and the elevated are
crowded to suffocation almost
every hour in the day, and
when this town gets another
million or two inhabitants we
don't see how it will be possible
for them to get around. Take
Broadway and Lennox avenue,
for instance. The Lennox
avenue sub comes in under the
Broadway sub and on top of
the two subs there is the reg
ular line of surface cars on
Broadway and still a person
can't get a seat on the sub or
elevated or surface cars. If
| you get standing room on the
platform between the hours of
four and six you are a lucky
man.

Obituary
Again wt are called upon to
Chronicle the death of one OF
our oldest and most respected
citizens, j. IA. Crowder, who
died in this city, Friday, March
22nd, 1907, at 11:l5 a. m., Of

Gated in Missouri Valley, where
he was employed by Messrs.
Ellis Bros, in the dry goods
business, and in 1871, he was
appointed postmaster, which
position he held for years, be-
ing one of the most efficient Of
ficers the city ever had.
He was united in marriage to
Miss Ella Brown in 1876.
Four children were born to
them, as follows: Mrs. Ray
Noyes, Miss Anna, Paul and
Eleanor, who survive him, his
wife having died a short time
since. He also has five broth.
ers, as follows: O. H., r. H., j.
H., w. H., and H. Crowder and
a large circle Of friends who
mourn his departure. For
many years he has been in
rather delicate health, but none
supposed him in a dangerous
condition, and all hoped he
would be spared to his friends
for many years yet, but age
and trouble over the sickness!
Of his departed wife, ali com
bined to affect his physical con.

pected, the shock came and he
was unable to rally.
