THE PARCELS POST,

Postmaster General Meyer seeks to
reassure those country merchants
who oppose the extension of the par
cells post system by Offering them re-
duced rates on rural free delivery
routes. He says such plan would
enable the farmer and the patron
along the rural route to order sup
plies by telephone or postal card
when 1t is not feasible to 6rive to
town for them, thereby increasing
the consumption and improving the
trade of the country merchant.
If the postmaster general carries
out such plan, it is difficult to see
how, with the wonderful develop
ment of the rural free delivery sys-
tenn, the business of the small mer-
chant in isolated communities can be
affected. If they are given the adj
vantage of parcels post rates, they
will be in better position to serve
their patrons than the merchants in
distant cities. Mr.. Meyers plan
seems to be entirely feasibN and,
with its favorable acceptance, the
express companies are left as the
only ones that are strongly opposing
the extension of the parcels post.
And it is reliable conclusion that
when the express companies oppose
a thing the public will be safe in in
dorsing it.

NO SLUMP ON PRICES. OF STA
PIES

1t is a material point In the
financial situation to note that the
prices of staples have not slumped.
The recent reduction in the price of
meat is only temporary. After a
few days trial the packers restored
the old prices. with an added frac-
ton to cover losses. The same
thing is noticeably true of other
markets. In grain there has been a
cessation of buying, but tbere is a
prediction that when the market re-
opens the prices will show a mate
rial gain. International trade justi-
fies such a condition, as there has
been a shortage of crops in Argen-
tine and Russia, and the demand for
export has never been so strong.
Other market prices are holding firm,
and with the return of confidence
and a loosening of currency the
country will return to normal con-
ditions very quickly.

A CHEAP LESSON.
New York Abandons Its Experiment In
Munieipa' Lighting.

New York Abandons Its Experiment. In
Munieipa' Lighting.
: About two years ago the city Of
New York installed at a cost of $122,-
84S a combined garbage incinerator
and electric light plant, the current
developed being used to light the Will
liamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect a saving over the cost Of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been in operation
six months Commissioner woodbury.
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent.
It was therefore somewhat Of sur
prise to those who were not aware Of
the real facts to learn that the lighting
plant had been shut down. The engi-
neers In charge frankly admit that the
plant has been run at a loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures, the best information obtaina-
BILE Is to the effect that the loss amount
ed to about $4,000 year as compared
with the cost by contract. In other
words, it cost the city with free fuel
about twice as much to light the
bridge as a private company charges,
although the company has to buy Its
! fuel.
I 1t is fortunate for New York that II
made It's electric lighting experiment
on a small scale, for if it had under
( taken to do all its public lighting and
! had sustained a proportionate loss the
effect ON the tax rate land indirectly
on rents) would have been such as tc
make the NJ. o. advocates move to some
/ locality where their theory had not be
| come a condition. AS 1t is the lessor
will be cheap at the price-if 1t has
been really learned.

THINK IT OVER.
Gold is the real yellow peril. Even
Its absence creates a disturbance.


From a study of conditions before
and after it seems that we may have
prosperity and progress and pros
perity without progress, but no prog
ress without prosperity.
The latest scientific announce
ment is the transmission of power
by the wireless. Think of what con-
sternation the big stick will then
make.
President Mellen intimates that
although this is a rich mans panic.
he is very much pleased to pass it
along. He might fittingly add that
it was created just for that purpose.
That lottery in Chicago that was
discovered after a successful opera
tion of 20 years can hardly be sAlid
to be nipped in the bud. The full
grown profits have long since been
safe in cold storage.
The panic came on the wireless,
but confidence is scheduled on the
slow freight
With the Bradley and Thaw cases
both coming to the front, we may ex-
pect recurrence of expert testi-
mony and new coinage of terms
to signify brain storms ana other
disturbances along the borderland of
near-insanity.

Cities Get Rid of Their Lighting Plants
at Loss to Save Themselves From

The mayor of English, Ind, writes
that the municipal electric light plant
was sold for 30 per cent of its cost
because of the financial loss to the
city," AS it had been operated only
Eve years, this makes the depreciation

The municipal light and water plants
Of England, Ark, have been leased to
G. W. Morris for six years. The rea-
son assigned for this action is gross
mismanagement."
Although the qualified voters of Val
ley City, N. D., at an election called for
the purpose, voted by a majority of
nearly three to one to sell the electric
light plant, the city council by a vote
Of four TO three has decided not to sell,
but instead to spend $4,000 on new
machinery. Apparently the plant Is
too valuable political asset to be sur
rendered at the mere call of the tax
payers, twice repeated.
The president of the village of Mil
ford Center, O., writes that the mu-
nicipal electric light and water plants
were sold for $3.50 The latest re-
port available gives the amount of
bonds outstanding as $4,000.
Prior to it's lease ten months ago the
electric light plant of Linton, Ind, was
badly run down and was costing the
city from 5000 to $500 month owing
to incompetent management. 1t is al
ready on paying basis, and the fine
service furnished by it is in marked
contrast to what was supplied when 1t
was operated by the city.
The municipal electric light plant of
Gravesend, N. Y, constructed at cost
of approximately $4,000, was never
put into operation and was sold for
$31, 100 after the annexation of Graves

The electric light plant bought by the
city council of Carrollton, Ga, was OPP

the city effected compromise with
the bondholders, to whom the plant
was turned over, the city making a

writes that the sale was due TO ''politi
cal changes in control"
| A municipal electric light plant was
installed by Ellwood City, Pa, in 1901
at a cost of $4,000. By 1904 1t had be-
come inadequate to carry its load, SO
the generating plant was shut down
and has stood idle ever since, power
being supplied by private company.
| An electrical engineer who devoted
some weeks to rehabilitating 1t writes
that the municipal electric light plant
of Montpelier, Ind, was a complete
failure and that it was turned over to
the present owners for a dollar on
condition that they would assume the
outstanding bonds ($3S, OOO. The city
got nothing for the funds contributed
by the citizens to make repairs. An
other authority states that for three
months before the sale there had been
no street lights available and for part
! Of that period no incandescent lights.
