The government officials this week
posted notices of ownership by the gov
ernment, and warning not to trespass
upon the lumber at James Clark's mill.
Mr. Clark bought the timber from the
Harney Peak Tin company, and sup
posed to be upon patented lands. 1t
seems that something is wrong or ir-
regular in the matter. The burden
seems to have fallen on Mr.. Clark, who
has undoubtedly acted in good faith in the
matter. The provisions Of our constitu-
ton that no one shall be deprived of his
property without due process of law
seems not to apply to the government.
Tney Just take it-without even notice
or reason given. 1t would appear that
man should have his day in court.
The forest reserve power in the hands
of the department seems to be the legis-
lative, judicial and executive combined,
or possibly execute FIRST, chang the man
and try him afterward." This rule is
presumably all right and necessary to
the proper administration of the forests,
but IL is uncomfortable to an innocent
purchaser of timber who goes out to work
aud finds he has no work to do, 1t is all
done.

woaie ,dke tn. l,a't.e-. ID then the matter would go through. but the TUT al press has not the influence of the city press, and the city press has no great interest and so the whole project has dragged and we have fallen way behind on the subject of postal ser vice. Parcels Post undoubtedly pre- sents more difficulties here than abroad, but in some form we should have 1t. All this you can see is re- lated to my project to locate the new postoffice near the new railway sta- ton. for when we get Parcels Post the volume of mail matter will be so enor- mously increased that t cannot be transported through crowded city streets. When Parcels Post is an ac- complished fact, the public will real ize the force of the suggestion thlt postoffices should be locatad close to railway stations SO as to reduce to the minimum the hauling of llail matter. The supervising architect of the trea5- ury recommends this and several cities like New York, St. Louis. New Or leans and Seattle, are getting ready for Parcels Post by adopting this rec ommendation.

S Hurley, a for mer rapid transit commissioner, were dragged into the story as result of the investigation which preceded Byrnes dismissal The property in question, known as Shumachers farm, and located near Flushing, l. L, was purchased for $l05, 900 by the city on Byrnes' recommendation to be.used as a site for training school for horses of the police department It Is alleged that the land had been offered for sale only short time before the purchase at S55000 and not accepted and that 1t was appraised at $105O00 and its pur- chase at that figure recommended by Byrnes after Hurley had obtained an option on it, In his capacity of deputy commissioner in Brooklyn, O'Keefe ap- proved the selection of the site. During the investigation of the purchase 1t de- veloped that O'Keefe neld Hurley's note for $5O0O This, Hurley declared, represented money he had borrowed from OKeefe.
