BURLINGTON CUTS
PASSENGER RATES
MUCH CHEAPER NOW TO GO TO
CHICAGO FROM HERE.

Because of the two-cent fare law in
Nebraska the people of Billings ben
eft in the rate to Chicago, which has
been cut from $34.35 to $30.25 since
the first OF the present month. Nat
urally the slash at the Burlington rate
has affected that Of the Northern Pa
cific to st. Paul, so that one may go
from here to the older Of the twin
cities for $22.25 instead Of $685.,
which was the old rata.
The fare from st. Paul to Chicaso
is IS. and this added to the fare to
st. Paul makes the rate from here to
Chicago via the Northern Pacific or
the Burlington $30.26. That leaves
almost enough to pay the meals on
the diner.
The new rate has been in force
ever since the first Of February.

POSTAL RECEIPTS WILL REAct

VERY GOOD
Receipts at Stamp window Alone Ex-
ceed $50 : Observation-Disclosures

Shorter Working Hours.

There is no question but what the
Billings postofice will be entitled to
be raised to a first class Office by
April l." said Postmaster Prickett
yesterday. .One month and three
days remain in this quarter and we
will easily show the required amount
in postal receipts in that time"
The first. Of this year it was an
nounced that if the receipts of the
Billings p%ostotice amounted to $4,000
during the next quarter the Office
would be entitled to be advanced to
an Office of the first class, thereby
gaining greater recognition by the
p%ostofice department and securing
more employees and shorter working
hours.
So far this quarter the postal re
ceipts have amounted to approximate
ly $4,000. leaving but $4,000 to be
taken in during the next three days
and the coming month. The postal re
ceipts have exceeded the expectations
of the p~ostofice employees, and the
last two months have been better than
the months of July and August of last
year. Unless next month is a duller
month than has been experienced in
the last year and a half, the receipts
at the postoftlce will easily entitle it
( to be raised to a first class Office.
It was anticipated at the beginning
of the year that the receipts from the
stamp window alone would not ex.
coed $40 a day or fall under $50, yet
the average since that time hes been
in the neighborhood Of 500 a day.

mis- sion.
In transmitting to the senate and
house today the report OF, the inland
waterways commission, President
Roosevelt appended thereto a short
standardization Of the conte-ts OF the
report and q statement Of his views
thereupon.
The report itself contains some so
pages and is signed by Hon. Theo. e.

It opens with the statement that
there are In the United States some
$4,000 miles Of navigated rivers and
at least an equal amount which are
n~avigable or might be made so by
improvement; there are also some
$500 miles Of navigable canals, and

length. All these in addition to the
great lakes.
The gist OF the report is contained
in the presidents message, which IL
given in part below:
Waterways Neglected.
"Our river systems are better adapt
ed to the needs Of the people than.
those Of any other country. In ex.
tent, distribution, navigability, and
ease Of use, they stand first. Yet the
rivers Of nc other civilized country
are so poorly developed, so little
used, or play 50 small a part in the
industrial life Of the nation as those
of the United States. InNview of the
use made Of rivers elsewhere, the.
failure to usesour own is astonishing,
and no thoughtful man can believe
that it will last. The accompanying
report indicates clearly the reasons
for it and the way to end it,

the president, shows clearly that the

fact that at present the railroads own

was driven from the Mississippi by
the railroads. While production was
limited the railroads gave quicker and

Cannon Is Victim.
A conspiracy Of the deepest dye
was worked upon young Cannon, clerk
in Judge Mann's Office, yesterday.
Cannon has a meerschaum pipe which
he smokes continuously and for which
he has a great affection.
Yesterday the pipe disappeared
and Cannon became quite excited
about 1t. As a matter Of fact Chiei
1algo swiped it as a joke on Cannon
and having got JEFF Brown, the dray'
man, in on the job, proceeded tc
work out the plot.
Brown was stationed out in front
of the city hall smoking the precious
pipe. Chief Talgo rushed in and told
Cannon that a man was smoking q
pipe which looked like his out in
front Of the city hall. Cannon followed
Talgo out, claimed the pipe and had
Brown arrested. Talgo, Of course
made the arrest.
Brown was closely questioned and
averred that ne had bought the pipe
of some hobo. He proclaimed that he
could produce the hobo from whom
he got it, and was to do SO last night
or this morning.
Cannon doesn't care much now
though, for he has his pipe and he
doesn't lay it down anywhere unless
his eagle eye can rest upon It.
Brown says he is going to produce
Street Commissioner Warner as thu
man from whom he bought the pipe.

The president points out the at
.ternpts Of the water power companies
to consolidate and to get laws, '''in-
tended to enable the corporations to
take possession in ~perpetuity Of ma
tional forest lands for the purposes of
their business, where and as they
please, wholly without compensation
to the public. Yet the effect Of grant
ing such privileges, taken together
with rights already acquired under
state laws, would be to give away
properties Of enormous value.
Giving Away Wealth.
Through lack Of foresight we have
formed the habit of granting without
compensation extremely valuable
rights amounting to m%onopolies on
aavigable streams and on the public
lomain. The repurchase at great ex
Gense OF water rights thus ~carelessly
given away without return has al
ready begun in the east, and before
long will be necessary in the west
also. No rights involving water power
should be granted to any corporations
in perpetuity, but only for a length Of
time sufficient to allow them to con-
duct their business profitably.
A reasonable charge should Of
course be made for valuable rights
and privileges which they obtain from
the national government. The values
for which this charge is made will ul-
t;imately, through the natural growth
and orderly development of our popu-
lation and industries, reach enormous
amounts. A fair share of the increase
should be safeguarded for the benefit
of the people, from whose labor it
springs. The proceeds thus secured,
