Speaking generally, the report shows
that the general rule in Europe is that
all mounted officers of every grade shall
keep themselves and their mounts in fit
condition for instant war, and most of
them maintain schools where student Off
GERS are constantly under instruction in
craftsmanship. Moreover. the conditions of
European service are so different from
our own that the daily work of nearly
all mounted officers is performed under
the eye of their superiors, affording am
pie opportunity to judge of their quail
fications in horsemanship. so that special
tests are superf1uous The great annual
maneuvers also afford practical testing
fields of all officers. and any field officer
deficient in Workmanship at any time is
either assigned to some kind of duty not
requiring physical activity practically
shelved-or becomes subject to retirement

try riding to hounds is participated in by
all mounted officers. whose, efficiency in
riding is as we'll known to everybody as
their personality.

EXTEND POSTAL DELIVERY
HITCHCoCK's RECOMMENDED
TON IN ANNUAL REPORT.
Increase Of Leave for Employees and
Forwarding of Unstamped Let
tiers Advised.

The annual report of Frank H. Hitch
cock, first assistant postmaster general,
for the fiscal year was made public today
The revenues collected through the post
offices during the fiscal year 1906 he says,
amounted to about $16s, 600, 600, a gain of
more than s15,OO0.O0O and the report
states that this growth was continued in
1907, when the aggregate reached $751;
1000, being somewhat in excess of that
of the previous year. In order to meet
the continuous growth of his bureau Mr..
Hitchcock makes plea for larger appro-
priations. He also recommends the ap-
pointment of five travelling auditors to
supervise the financial operations Of the
leading post offices.
Postmasters Reappointed.
THE present policy of reappointing
presidential pbstmasters who have con-
Quoted their offices to the satisfaction of
the public and of the department has re-
suited in decided benefit to the SERVICE"
says Mr.. Hitchcock. He adds that about
IS per cent of the presidential postmas-
tiers have been reappointed because Of eff
ficient service.
Increased salaries for various classes of
employees of the department are recon-
mended. In order to relieve third-c!ass
postmasters of the necessity Of paying for
assistance out of their salaries a recon-
mendation is made for an increase to
81, OO0,OOO of the allowances for that pur-
pose. Thirty instead of fifteen days an
nual leave is recommended for postal en-
ployes.
Extension of Delivery.
An extension of the city delivery service
to smaller towns than are included under
the present law is recommended Under
the amendment to the law he suggests
free delivery service would be given to
over 400 towns that do not now enjoy
that advantage. He recommends that a
law be enacted requiring patrons of the
department to provide receptacle for the
reception of mails as a means of saving
the time of the carriers.
Mr.. Hitchcock deals with the question
of the handling of first-class mails de-
posted without postage, and suggests that
such mail be forwarded at once and that
double the ordinary postage shall be COL
lected for 1t.
The total number of postmasters Of all
classes appointed during, the year was
IL, 315, as against 1885 for 1906.

1t is a beautiful custom to set
apart, each year, day for Thanks
giving, in which to contemplate the
many evidences of divine favor, and
render grateful acknowledgements for
the blessings vouchsafed to us. The
President of the United State, in
recognition of this custom. has desig-
mated Thursday, November Twenty
sixth, as a day Of General Thanks
giving and Prayer throughout the Ma
ton.
1t is especially fitting that this
young state should join in this Fes-
tival of Thanksgiving. Our people
have prospered wonderfully in mater
ial things. The earth has given gen
erously of its store. The opportuni-
ties for industry and thrift are unsur-
passed. There is present a just APP
probation of the great responsible
ties of citizenship, a high tone Of pub
lie morality and probity, and a whole
some respect for the majesty of the
law; therefore,
In accordance with the proclama.

with the spirit of the season,
I, John Burke, Governor of the
