10 CENTS FOR REGISTRY.

An increase Of two cents is to he
made in the near future in the fee
for the registration of letters and mail
packages.
Announcement of the proposed
change was made recently by Post
master-General Hitchcock. The de-
cision followed an inquiry into the
registration system by a committee,
which met with Mr.. Hitchcock re-
Gently. 1t was decided to call in a
score of registry officials of ripe ex-
pcricnce and ability from various
parts of the country for more gen
eral meeting with the Postmaster
General.
Mr.. Hitchcock will take up the
registry system first in considering all
branches of the postal service for re-
organization wherever greater ctliclcn-
cy and less expenditure may be effect
ed. The service, he believes, can he
placed on business basis without
working undue hardship or imposing
unreasonable burdens on the public.
In his talk with number OF the
delegates who attended the conven-
ton of postmastcrs at Toledo, Mr..
Hitchcock learned that almost all of
them believed that an increase in the
registry fee from eight to ten cents
would not be opposed when it is eX-
planned to the public that the Gov
eminent is losing several million dol
lars a year through the present sys-
TEN of operation.
BY law the PostmasterGencral is
authorized to make the registry fee
as high as 20 cents. In 1874 it was
reduced from ID to S cents, but in
creased to 10 cents in 1873. 1t was
reduced from 10 to s cents in 1908.
The registry service is the most ex-
pensive of any rendered by the de-
partment, owing to the precautions
taken to insure correct delivery and
absolute safety in the transmission Of
! registered articles.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
important Factor In the Projecting Of
Home Trade.

The movement to revive river trans.
portati0n Is becoming more widespread
and general. In Kansas City there Is
plan on foot to put boats again on
the Missouri river. The effort has
been hailed with enthusiasm all along
the river. Boonville. so. is sample
case. After Il day spent in Boonville
a correspondent Of the Kansas City
Star writes:
This town has not grown since the
days of steamboat traffic. thirty years
ago. 1t had Il population OF 1900 then;
It has the same humble, now.
In the old days. when fleet OF sixty
FIVE steamboats, piled the Missouri rlv.
or. B0onville ranked among the impor-
tant commercial cities in the state out.
side OF st. Louis. 1t was even greater
than Kansas City. Often half dozen
steamboats, lay with their noZzlrs to
its levees. The shouts Of rouStabout
gangs and the cries of II hundred team
sters echoed day and night from its
warehouse walls.
In those days It was freight dis
tributing point for all the country
roundabout. Trains Of freight wag-
ons loaded at its levees for points fifty
and eighty miles away. Droves of cat
tie. hogs and sheep and whole rargoes
Of grain and farm products went from
Boonville by water.
And then came the railroads with
lower freight rate than the boats
could meet and live. and one boatman
after another failed and withdrew
from the killing competition vi the rail
lines. Soon there was not Il steamboat
left in the trade.
And then what happened? Let the
government authorities Of the inland
waterways commission tell the story.
The last report Of this commission
made to congress In 1903 says this OF
river towns:
1.-The railroads take traffic at unduly
low rates along the river and at com
petitive points generally and recon-
pense themselves by high charges at
noncompetitive points,
This official report gives one indica-
ton Of why the growth Of Boonville
ceased when the steamboats, left the
river. From st. Louis to Boonville Is
$50 miles. The rail rate on first class
freight from St. Louis to Boonville Is
81 cents a hundred pounds. The rail
rate from ST. Louis to Burlington. Ia.
the same distance. Is 80 cents a hun
dred pounds for the same class OF
freight The reason the rail rate to
Burlington Is - cents lower than to
Boonville is that Burlington is Oh the
Mississippi river and two lines or
steamboats, reach II from st. Louis.
The rate by steamer to Burlington on
the same class of freight is SO cents. 10
cents lower than the rail rate to Boon
vile.
The same government report shows
that the same class Of freight Is car
ried by rail from st. Louis to Winona.
Mimi, 400 miles. for 80 cents, = cents
less than the rate to BoOnville. and the
water rate to Winona IS only "a
cents. while freight is carried by
water from st. Louis clear to st. Paul.
$50 miles. for 40 cents. IL cents less
than the rail rate to Boonville.
1t IL this condition that has aroused
the business men of this place to the
need Of water transportation.

Heavy loads of farm produce are
held up by bad roads. and the better
route IL chosen for them sometimes
even when the market is not as much
to the liking of the farmer as the one

poorer highways. The important fact
about this Is that the farmers usually
do their trading I'm the same place
where they market their crops, and
their trade Is valuable to the mer-

v0SHELL'S REPORT
TO STATE ENGINEER
MAKES TIMELY SUGGESTION RE-
GARDlNG CONSTRUCTION
OF CITY PAVEMENT.
Plans on File for Model Roads-Suq-
gests Use Of Oil on Certain Bis
Marck Streets.

j. T. ,Voshell, assistant highway
engineer from the Office of public
roads at Washington, has finished his
work and made report to the state
engineer concerning the construction
of the model roads to be built near
Bismarck, and in this report makes
some suggestions concerning the city
streets and walks.
Mr.. Voshell recommends that out
side of the city streets, earth roads
be constructed according to plans on
file in the state engineers Office and
that they be properly maintained by
systematic and thorough dragging;
that Main and Fourth streets be prop
erly graded and combined curb and
gutter of standard design be placed
twenty feet from the center line of
the street, thus making driveway
forty feet in width and parkway
twenty feet wide on either side for
sidewalk and trees; that Main street
from Second to Sixth, and Fourth
street from Main, to Thayer to be
paved with such a material as will
permit of flushing end sweeping, pre-
ferably vitrified brick; that the re-
mainder of Main and Third streets
be graveled and oiled; that in the
business portion of the city the side
walks be twenty feet wide, the side
walks cast in place to be at least four
and one-haH inches thick; and that
the driveway on residence streets be
thirty feet wide.- ~
, Mr.. Voshell received word from
Washington to proceed to Larimore
to give the citizens there advice con-
corning good road construction in and
around the city.

ATTORNEY STUTSMAN
G.. GETS $3.50 VERDICT
THE MORTON COUNTY DISTRICT
'%COuRT. ALLOWS DAMAGES IN
tit&9atEf&%' FAMOUS CASE.
10 }vindication for President Of Rail-
road mmission-Attorney Mock
hlert Handled Stutsman's Case.

In the district court of Morton
county at Mandan yesterday, Judge
w. G. Crawford presiding, the jury
in the case of Attorney w. H. Suits
man against J. o. Sullivan and A. v.
Schalleran returned a verdict for $3.50
for damages for personal injuries up
on plaintiff during an assault commit
ted upon his person on February H.,
1907
It will be remembered that Mr..
Stutsman, who is now president of
the state board of railroad commits
sioner's, was at that time conducting
the Mandan Republican under lease
with the corporation owning the plant,
of which J. Sullivan was president
and A. v. Scballern was secretary,
and as the result of a business disa-
greement between the partners, Sui
Ivan and Schallern attacked Suits
man in the printing Office, dragged
him out into the street and pummel-
ed him to, their complete satisfaction
Whereupon Stutsman brought suit
against the defendants Jointly for
$4,000 damages for physical and men
tai suffering caused by the injuries in
f1ected by the defendants, and the
case has only now been reached for
trial.
The testimony of disinteresred BY
ISLANDERS was overwhelming to the
effect that the two defendants at
tackled Mr.. Stutsman in the printing
Office and dragged him to the street,
and pounded him vigorously, though
the defendants themselves swore that
Stutslnan was attempting 10 eject
them both from the building and as
saulted them, and that they were act
ing entirely upon the defensive.
As Mr.. Stutsman never claimed to
have been greatly injured physically,
and lost very little time from his
business, the verdict is regarded chief
ly as a vindication of his position,
and a balm for the chagrin and morti-
fcation suffered by him as result
of the treatment he received.
Attorney J. R. Mockler of Bismarck
handled the case for Mr.. Stutsman
in a mastery manner, and the sue
cessful outcome Of the suit was due
largely to his eloquent closing ad-
dress to the Jury.
