Senate Measure Endorsed by President
and Postmaster General.

Senate Measure Endorsed by President
and Postmaster General.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 11.-Senator
Durham of New Hampshire yesterday
introduced in congress a measure of
distinct Importance to rural interests
throughout the United States. 1t is a
bill to provide rural delivery parcels
post for merchandise and other arti-
cles actually mailed on rural delivery
routes. The rural free delivery routes
now number more than $4,000, and on
them in excess of 15,00O,0OO people re-
ceive daily postal service.
The measure introduced by Senator
Burnham has the Endorsement of the
president and Postmaster General
Meyer. It provides, in brief, for THE
establishment of rural parcels post at
low rates of postage for the delivery
of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs, books
and other merchandise. The rate of
postage shall be cents for the first
pound and 2 cents for each additional
pound or fraction thereof, and on par
GELS ewighing less than one pound as
follows: Two ounces or less, / cent;
over two ounces and under four ounces
l. cents; over four and not exceeding
eight ounces, 8 cents; over eight and
not exceeding twelve ounces, cents;
and over twelve ounces and under one
pound, cents.
Two important limitations are placed
on the use of the proposed parcels post
by the following provisions:
THAT nothing herein contained shall
be taken as authorizing the accept
ance or delivery at the special rates of
postage herein provided Of any parcel
offered by any person acting as agent
or representative, upon commission or
otherwise, or person not resident OF
such rural delivery route.
"That only such parcels should be
received for delivery at such rates of
postage herein provided as are offered
by bona fide merchants or dealers
whose places of business are on rural
delivery routes covered by this act,
in the ordinary and regular course OF
their business, and by residents on
such routes in their individual capac-
lily"
The bill provides that the parcels
carried shall not weigh more than
eleven pounds nor be more than three
feet six inches in length. Perishable
articles will be sent at the senders
risk and will not be accepted at any
postoffice more than three hours be-
fore departure of the mail.
Senator Kean of New Jersey intro
duced a measure presenting Postmas-
ter General Meyers plan for reducing
the rate on parcels sent through the
mails from Is to IL cents a pound and
increasing the weight limit from four
| to eleven pounds.

Druggist Ia Mixup.

Senator I. a. Simpson was called to
Mott Thursday evening by a huIrry-uip1
message. reporting that quite
agood sized riot had occurred there the
night before. The senator made the tip
by auto with Henry Roberts. 'h
]. The details, of the disturbance are not
fully known here, but inquiries by tele-
phone last'evening gave some Of. the
particulars. 2 ~ a
Al Richardton il was reported that
trouble between Brunnes, a druggist
at Mott and'a crowd Of boys was at the
bottom of the riot which caused great
excitement. The story was that the boys
became angry, at the druggist and threw
stones at the windows Of the drug store.
Brunnes, it is alleged, is unpopular
with,his fellow citizens, and acts of his
caused the trouble. The last reports
were that the druggist had caused the
arrest of several Of the offenders for
their lavlessness and they in turn had
had him arrested for biind.pigging!
The mix-up has not yet been settled
and until the senator's return, the full
particulars will not be known.
