Rural Free Delivery.

'The rural delivery service has de-
velOped in twelve years from an expert
ment, requiring an appropriation of
S40 900, to one of the largest branches
of the postal establishment, with an
annual expenditure exceeding $S5000.-
0OO The postage on matter mailed on
rural routes is estimated at about
81. 900. OOO The Importance of this serv-
ice to a large number of people is fully
appreciated. It brings the farms and
villages into closer communication with
commercial and educational centers. 1t
encourages the improvement of country
roads. BY making rural life more at
tractiye it stimulates agriculture. No
doubt it is partly responsible for the in
crease in farm values. Owing to the
marvelously rapid growth Of this serv-
ice, however, it is but natural that de-
fects have developed. The cost of rural
delivery is probably much greater than
it should be- Now Is an appropriate
time for considering carefully the con-
ditions under which it is operated, for
perfecting the existing organization and
for introducing such economies as are
consistent with a proper conduct of the
service.
Insofar as the rates Of payment for
transportation Of the mails are fixed by
contracts based on competitive bidding.
there can be no doubt as to the fair
ness. The larger part of this item, how
ever, is for payments to railways at
rates fixed by law. The charge for
this service during the past fiscal year
was nearly $4,000 600.

Let the Facts Speak.

Mr.. Wake says ne does not wish his
statements to be taken as an attack upon
Cook but he feels imDelled to let the
facts speak for themselves. He then re-
cites his experiences with the explorer,
among them the following:
1T was finally arranged that Mr.. Ions
dale, Dr. Cooks secretary, should sail for
Copenhagen on the steamship United
States, of the United States Scandinavian
line, with a copy of the typewriter dOcu-
ments, and that the doctor and his wife,
carrying the originals, should sail for &c
nOa under assumed names on the Celtic,
leaving on November u. LOnsdale and
his companion were then to take the orig
inals to Copenhagen, and DR.. Cook was
to remain within easy distance Of a call
from the university.
1T was understood the doctor and
LOnsdale should come to my office on the
afternoon Of November "A to arrange
some details of LOnsdale's departure. To
allay the anxiety of the doctor and his
wife, I had arranged with a detective
agency to have him constantly Swallowed
and the detective was at my office to
pick him up.

the land are directly dependent on the
department at Washington for instruc-
tiOns, for authority to make eXpendi-
lures and for supplies. 1t would seem
to be an excellent pHah to make large
city postOffices the centers OF con-
venient postal areas by giving city post
masters supervisory authority over the
smaller offices of the neighborhOod.
1.-THE departments recommendation
for the establishment Of postal savings
banks is earnestly renewed. AS IS per
cent of the savings of the people are
deposited in the banks Of fourteen
states, the need for additional savings
repositories for other parts Of the coun-
try is apparent. Those portions Of the
United States now wanting in such IA
eilities could be readily supplied
through the fundamentally of a postal
savings system.
"Of the vessels carrying mails to
the orient more than 20 per cent fly
foreign flags, while not a single steam
ship now carrying our mails TO AUS
tralasia and to South America, except
the north coast, flies the American
flag. These parts of the world are Of
great commercial Importance, and the
maintenance Of frequent, fast and regu-
lar mail service would be the first step
in establishing closer trade relations
with them. Contracts for service to
these countries can not be secured un-
der the present law. More liberal re-
Enumeration is necessary. Legislation
should be enacted granting adequate
mail pay to American steamships on
routes OF this character.
Transmitting Money.
ITO provide a simple and cheap means
Of transmitting small sums through the
mails, and TO lessen the use Of coins
bills and postage stamps for that pur-
/ pose, it is recommended that a form OF
postal note or check be adopted, SINH

! The equipment Of every residence

PoIleY Of Retrenehment.

"Since the opening Of the administra-
ton the postmaster general and his as
sistants have adopted measures in con-
formity with the Presidents policy of
retrenchment, and these measures are
being put into effect with substantial
results, as viii be shown in this re-
port,
TT should be stated with emphasis
however, that economy is not to be en-
forced at the cost of efficiency.
"OnIy such measures Of economy viii
be adopted, therefore, as can be made
a consistent part of a general program
having for its chief object the improve
ment of the personnel the form Of or
ganization and the business methods Of
the postal establishment.
"The most striking fact disclosed by
recent investigations is the tremendous
loss on account Of secOnd-Class mail.
While this class Of mail provides a
revenue of little more than 1 cent a
pound, the cost to the government for
its handling and transportation aver
ages 6. % cents a pound. The annual
loss thus incurred, as already stated,
is about $64000,000. The growth in the
quantity of secOnd-class matter sent
through the mails has been eXtraor-
binary. Since the passage Of the act
of 1879 prescribing conditions under
which publications may be mailed at
second-elass rates the weight Of such
matter has increased more than 300
per cent. Last year it amounted to
over 200, 900 900 pounds. By the weigh
| ing Of 1907 secOnd-class matter was
| shown to constitute GO per cent Of all
| domestic mail, and yet it yielded only
about 3 per cent Of the postal revenues.
| The loss on secOnd-Class matter was
| greater than the profits on all classes
Of mail combined. It exceeded the total
amount paid the railways for mail
| transportation.

Second Class Mail.

Magazines and other periodical pub
locations, exclusive Of daily newspapers,
comprise about so per cent of the sec
ond-class mail. The magazines alone
form about 20 per cent. Magazines
proper, because Of the long average
hail, show a cost of more than 5 cents
a pound for transportation, while in
the case of daily newspapers, for which
the average distance Of distribution is
much less, the transportation cost is
under 2 cents a pound.
''The annual loss on third-Class mail
is something over three million dollars.
The mail matter carried free under con-
gressionaI franks costs the government
annually about a half million dollars.
4 greater loss, about two and a quar-
ter millions annually, results from the
free handling Of official mail for eXecu-
tive departments other than the post
office department. The annual cost OF
handling the free official mail Of the
postoffice department is estimated at
about $4,000, 900. If the several branches
of the federal government were made
to bear their proper share of the eX-
pense Of transporting and handling Of
fetal mail, greater care would be taken
no doubt in the exercise of the frank
ing privilege, and some saving to the
government would accordingly result.
The wisdom of doing away entirely with
the Thanking privilege or official mail
has been suggested, but this Is a mat
ter for Congress to determine. Such
a plan would relieve the pOstOffice de-
partment of a heavy expense it is now
Obliged to incur in the handling Of free
mail for other branches Of the govern
ment establishment,

New Plant will
Be Of Much
Benefit

Tire finest butter Ely district ever
had is coming from the Crescent
creamery in East Ely 1t has the
advantage of freshness as we'll as
being the real thing. Butternilk
and cottage cheese are also being sup
piled from the creamery.
Mr.. Hastie will not have the plant
in full swing for several weeks, hav-
ing been obliged to curtail some of
his milk orders and also to delay
the completion of installation of some
of the machinery equipment of the
plant, this by reason of the fact that
he is confined to his bed with an
injury of his leg. When he does get
the plant going in full swing it will
bring about new conditions in the
camp which will be OF very great
benefit with reference to the milk
and butter supplies. The betterment
with regard to the milk supply will
be particularly important, as the
pasteurizing plant or the creamery
win enable the pasteurizing of all
milk sold in the district. That all
milk should be put through this pro-
cess of publication before used is
now a generally recognized scientific
fact. Pasteurizing alone removes
the impurities in milk which are
chargeable with many of the ills with
which humanity has to contend.

yesterday morning. He was placed
under $500 bonds.
When the court fixed the bond
Collins said he would have no trou-

said he could raise a million dollars

other remarks calculated to strength
en- the belief that he is OF unsound
