BIG MONEY FOR POsTOFFICE.

The postofflce appropriation bill
will carry total of s2O9,1SO,561. This
is the largest amount ever carried for
the annual expenditure of the postal
service. The total recommendation
in the bill is more than 100000 in
excess of the amount estimated for
the department and is an increase of
s17,5O9,562 over the current appro-
priation.
The salaries of postal clerks and of
both city and rural carriers are in
creased to a total of S7,OOO,OOO. A
provision is inserted in the bill for
the classification of postal clerks, and
the positions of clerks and carriers
are made interchangeable.
There are various provisions in the
bill intended to reduce the pay to
railroads for carrying the mails. It is
estimated that this reduction will
amount to something like s12,OOO,OOO
year.
The rate for hauling daily from
5000 to $4,000 pounds is reduced
per cent; from $4,000 to $4,000
pounds, 10 per cent; and the present
rate of s21.37 per ton for amounts
above $4,000 pounds is reduced to
s19. These reductions, it is estimated,
will amount to sS,SOO,OOO a year.
A saving of s1,OOO,OOO more is es-
timated as a result of reductions pro-
vided in railway postoffice pay. The
bill cuts off all pay to roads for haul
ing empty mail sacks, which it is es-
timated will save between $S,0OO,000
and sA,OOO,OOO a year.
The requirement that the depart
ment shall weigh the mails seven
days a week and divide the amount
by seven instead of by six as hereto
fore, a provision placed in the bill
at the suggestion Of Representative
Murdock of Kansas, will, it is estimat-
ed, save annually $5.OOO,OOO.

LookING OUT FOR THE FUTURE

President Roosevelt with his far
seeing eve is contending for conserva-
ton Of national resources and in his
message to congress yesterday urged
that some action be taken to preserve
coal and mineral lands and forests.
He contends for a system of gov
eminent leases of its mineral land,
and for treating these fuel lands as
public utilities. The president points
out that it would have been better
if some eastern coal lands had been
left under government control. and
suggests provisions in the west against
a recurrence of the conditions 1--WE
dcplore in the east"
Citing 200 or 800 cases of public
land entries in four districts the pres
ident says that noncompliance with
these laws was found in over half of
them and deliberate fraud in every
case.
The president refers to his previous
message to congress on the subject,
and again calls attention to the i'm
portance of such land as separate and
distinct from the right to the under
lying mineral fuels in regions where
these may occur, and the disposal of
those mineral fuels under a lease sys-
TEN on conditions which would inure
to the benefit of the public as a
whole.
He says he cares little for the de-
tails, and that the prime need is that
the system should be established
President Roosevelt has stirred up
a great deal of contention by urging
such measures but the thinking peo-
pie agree with him that the ruthless
waste of natural resources is some
thing that should be curtailed, and

ON THE OPEN ROAD.

Out to the joy on the open road
Soon shall my feet be gone.
Led by the dreams of the heart Of
youth
over the slopes of dawn.
Desert and valley and heights of snow,
Plains where the rivers run:
Jungles and steppes of the frozen
North,
Islands that take the sun.
Nautch girls that dance in the silent
moon,
Sphinx of the world-old Nile;
Caravans crossing the trackless waste
Pyramids pile on pile.
Italy Greece and the Caucasus.
Persia and Hindustan;
l shall see them all with the heart of
the boy
Alive in the heart of man.
Glad with the love of the open road.
Freehearted 1 take my way.
Cities and men and a life of change
Shall welcome me day by day.
Midnights shall pass with their starry
deeps
Moons shall have come and gone;
While still from the gray of the skies
before
Breaks the orient rose of dawn.

bound to remove, in a great measure,
the strain in the money market. 1t

NOT RUN DOWN YET
FAIL TO FIND FUGITIvES
AND $1,000.
Missing Members Of Hold Up Gang
Elude Passaic Authorities and
Pinkerton Men.
Especial to the Evening star.l

PASSAIC, Nov. 18--With every ave.
nue. of possible escape closed against
the man who made off with the bag
containing $1,000, the payroll of the
Delawanna bleachery, here last Friday.
after Paymaster Knapp had been held
up, and with the police of every nearby
city and town bent on running the
highwayman down. there is not a bit
of clue to authorize the statement
than the missing highwayman will fall
into the net laid for him.
The police of this city are looking for
two men; one who stole the money and
made across the Union avenue bridge
into Bergen County, and the man who
waited in a secluded spot on the Ber-
gen County side with wagon and as
sisted in the successful fight of the
robber.
That the man and the money are
still on New Jersey soil Is the belief
of the Passaic detectives. Worthen &
Aldrich, who are the losers in this
bold hold-up, have given the Pinkerton
agency of New York free hand in
trying to locate the fourth man In the
robber band. That there were five men
is now certain, but only four partici-
pated directly in the hold-up, the fifth
man being the one who drove the
wagon in which the man with the
money made good his escape. While
the firm has given up hopes of ever
getting the stolen money back, both
members are determined to do all in
their power to locate the man with
the money and have him punished.
In this other mill owners of this vi
cinity have Joined for their own pro-
lection, as it is necessary for these
mill owners in Passaic County to send
messengers to banks on payday.
Prosecutor Eugene Emley has taken
hold of the daring crime, and with his
detective, Nathaniel Shane. has gone
over the ground In the neighborhood
of the hold-up, and both officials have
interviewed Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Dean,
residents of the River Drive, as both
women had a glimpse of the man with
the money bag, and it is hoped that
their description of the fugitive will
lead to some definite clue
