Fraudulent Mail Passes
British Post Office


LONDON, October @6 1907
TT is generally maintained by English
l men that the post Office business Is
= better managed in England than il
America. TIL re not a few Americans
who express this opinion. II is with an
agreeable shock OF surprise, therefore one
learns that many EnglIshmen are low
conccding that John Bulls post office can
learn something from Uncle Sans mach
malign2d Institution. And that is tie
method II adopts to check wholesale
sTinGling Of the public by rejecting the
mail OF fraudulent concerns. Some in
fiuential folk are now agitating for the
passage of law which viii confer SINH
lar blacklisting powers.
For years past the United Kingdom has
been a happy hunting ground for the
fraudulent concerns which have been
driven out of the United States and other
countries. They registered here IL
American companies, but tn II whole hlsi-
ness is done in this country. for The
simple reason that their native country
has closed it's mails against them. Here
IL y have an absolutely free hand and
are doing a booming business. Some OF
every opportunity of exposing them, be-
the newspapers of the largest circulation
accept Their advertis cments and preserve
discreet silence concerning their in
luities. And the post Office ads AMI
abats them by accepting all their ccrrc-
spcndsnca.

their souls were as water. The Counters,

refined ponies, riding erect in high red
saddles, their colored cloaks thrown back
from their sword arms-broWn men these,

eyes and huge noses. French soldiers OF
the Foreign Legion drove three under
sized donkeys, carrying immense pack
saddles of straw and sacking meant to

them on with knives or short pointed

a bayonet fastened with hemp string to

terest on the part of these communl-
ties than has been evident in the past.
l have several times extended invita-
tons, az chairman Of the association,
to the people Of Chester and Box Ell
der to attend our irrigation meetings,
that they would be given an opportu-
nifty to participate in the deliberations
of our meetings with a view of the
association benefitting by this added
strength and wisdom, but there has
never been one attendant with the
exception of Mr. William T. CoWan
who WAS present at the last meeting
held in Harlem.
AT the present time all the towns
from Harlem to Glasgow are repre-
scented in the association, and, while
serving the association in the capaci-
| ty of chairman, it may be that l am
personally influenced by a desire to
! protect the interests of these towns
in general and without partially to
t1aFTc OF any OlueF lOWll, LILY lllSI ul-
ty being to the towns represented in

But ] have an unbounded faith in
the fairness and liberality Of the peo-
pie of the Milk River valley, and l be.
lieve that if a representation from
the vicinity of Chester and Box Ell
der should attend the next meeting
of the association and request its
good will and it's influence in their
behalf that the appeal would be
granted; but the suggestion that
Havre should seceed from the MILF
River Valley Irrigation association
and make its endeayor for the Mar
las River project Independently ant
for the benefit Of Chester and Boz
Elder, especially with the little in
terest displayed by these communi
ties in the past; then I say that such
sentiment will in all probahili',
