Several young men of Earlham col.

of the fall term at the college have
been told that there is an old rule
against this practice and the question

AUTOMOBILE FOR
MAIL DELIVERY
Postmaster Spekenhier Has
Plan for Christmas
Distribution.
BLESSING TO CARRIERS.
BY EMPLOYING BIG SANTA
CLAUS" CAR, GIFTS ARRIVING
CHRISTMAS WILL BE GIVEN
OUT THAT DAY.

Christmas comes on December 25th,
and not the 18th, says Postmaster
Spekenhier, and in order that all peo-
pie in Richmond may get packages adj
dressed to them on Christmas day, he
will use an automobile to assist the
carriers in their work. This idea is
unique and is probably original with
the local postmaster.
On Christmas day the carriers will
leave the main office and patrol their
districts, but when these trips are COM
pleted they will be met by Uncle
Sans auto, which will be laden with
Xmas presents of all sorts and the car
riers will not be required to return
to the office to secure additional loads.
Postmaster Spekenhier thinks that
many hours will be saved in delivery
and he hopes to get all Christmas
packages delivered in this city by noon
Friday. If this is done. it will estab-
lish a record. one which will probably
not be duplicated at any point in the
United States
A big floating banner, on which will
be inscribed United States Mail" will
be placed on the machine and it is pre-
dicted by the postmaster that the
speed ordinance will be shattered time
and time again during the morning.
All mail delivered via automobile,
will be sorted before 1t leaves the Of
flee and when placed in the hands of
the carrier, will be ready for delivery.
the packages being so arranged that
the carrier will lose no time in start
ing.
The plan as outlined will greatly ia
cilitate delivery on the outskirts of the
city. where carriers are a great dis
lance from the central office
The establishment of record is not
the chief object of Postmaster Spoken
HERS plans, for he remembers when he
was boy and of the delayed presents
which never seemed like Christmas
gifts, because they were late on arriv-
ing. He says that his chief delight in
the venture will be in making hun
dreds of Richmond people happier He
says that many people in moderate cir
cumstances will have much more no.
table celebration than would otherwise
be the case.
The Christmas business at the Rich
mond postoffice. has increased fifty
per cent in the past three days. The
entire regular force assisted by sub
stitute clerks and carriers. is now on
duty and thousands of pieces of mail
are being handled daily. The rush
will continue until after Friday.
A large number of the packages
sent by Richmond people are being
registered. probably more than any
previous year. and Sunday. the regis
try clerks were required to work the
entire day. This is unusual.

FOREST RESOURCES

That the lumbermen of the country
who are engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of forest products are
interested in the work of the govern
ment in conserving the natural re-
sources Of the United States was evi-
denced at the recent annual meeting
of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers Association in Washington
d. c., when more time was given up
to the question Of forestry than to
any other topic that came up before
the convention. This association
takes in approximately 400 of the
wholesale lumbermen from all parts
of the country and what they had to
say about the practical value of for
estry is naturally of much public in
terest.
The secretary of the association in
his annual report recommended that
the wholesalers as body should en-
courage in every way the study of
forestry as part of the regular cur
riculum of the public schools. A re-
port also was received from the dele
gate appointed to attend the congress
sional hearing to urge the taking Of a
census of the standing timber The
report, which pointed out the abso-
lutte necessity of determining accur-
ately the amount OF timber in the
country and which carried with it an
endorsement of the project, was
adopted without dissenting voice.
The deep interest of the lumbermen
in the matter of forestry was again
manifested when the program of the
meeting was extended to permit of
the calling upon representatives of
the Forest Service to address the
meeting.
The attitude of the lumbermen to-
ward forestry was aptly described
during the meeting by a wholesaler
who said: "Lumbermen are not in
terested in forestry or the work of the
Forest Service on any theoretical
grounds, but we look upon forestry
as a business proposition solely and
what It will return to Us in dollars

THE INVESTORS EYE.

Just in quiet way let it be under
stood that the eye of the intelligent
investor of the Northwest is being
cast interestedly in the direction of
Astoria, Clatsop county and the mouth
/ of the Columbia; and that in several
notable instances of late his purse has
followed his glance after it has lin
gered long enough and critically
enough to convince him of the merit
and rich promise of investment.
Chief among these manifestations
of specific interest, within the past six
months, is, Of course, the $5,000,000
investment in railway properties and
kindred holdings, by James ]. Hill.
This, of itself, is amply conclusive of
a bright future, when the turns, incl
dent to such enterprise, shall have
unfolded, and are in logical operation.
And, in indubitable sequence, there
followed the Hartman investment on
the west-shore, in a 100000 bay
frontage; which will, in time, play its
great part in commercial history as
it is made down this way.
The Union Meat Company, now,
practically, the Swift Packing Com
pany, has just come in here with thou-
sands for the establishment of
branch plant, sales depot and cold
storage; and quickly following,
Messrs. Moore and Howard, of Port
land, for themselves, and in the in
terest of big Eastern syndicate have
made a $4,000 purchase of coast re-
sort land, which will be exploited
with $1s0,000 worth of improvements
in the very near future; and these,
aside from the interminable minor
developments going on in the way Of
house and home building, of which no
day in the year passes without the
signs in this city and county. 1t is
well the local man should realize these
things, and govern himself accord
ingly.

A REMARKABLE PECAN TREE

A Pecan grove is generally consid-
cred as being probably profitable
investment, but we do not think tha,
the possibilities Of pecan trees are
well understood. The following
from the American Nut Journal, will
give one instance OF the remarkable
productivcness OF these trees In fav.
orable conditions.
While 1t is never safe to draw gen.
eral conclusions from a single tree OF
q single specimen, yet an individual
pecan or any other fruit or nut tree
OF remarkable productivity is always
interesting,
We generally associate heavy pecan
crops from individual trees with the
alluvial bottom lands Of Texas or
Louisiana or somewhere else in the
lower South, But we have in mind
pecan tree in Raleigh, N. c., grow
ing on the Piedmont clay with per-
haps little sand mixed with il, At
any rate the land is very different
from river bottom land, and in fact
is in general very much like the soil
on which a large number OF pecan
orchards have been planted west Of
the Mississippi River.
The tree in question stands on the
property of Capt, B, p, Williamson,
treasurer OF Wake county, Raleigh,
N. G., just behind his residence. II
was grown from a nut obtained in
Texas and planted by the late James
+, Taylor. The tree is probably
thirty-hve years or so old, II COM
menced to bear when twelve years
old from the seed and had not failed
to produce crop every year since,
In the fall of 1905, when the editor
photographed the tree, the crop was
little over 800 pounds, This season
the crop will go about 400 pounds,
In regard to the price obtained. Capt.
Williamson writes:
I'VE sell all we can spare at rs
cents per pound; 400 pounds at 2s
cents will bring Sl00. or 10 per cent
on $1,000. or sper cent. on $20o0" It
is interesting to note how a business
man regards his pecan tree.
The nuts are small in size. ovate,
and of very fine quality, and the
tree is a well-developed and exceed.
ingly handsome specimen. There are
a number Of very fine pecan trees in
the "City Of Oaks" but this is the
largest. A pecan tree like this is
valuable.
