Increase in Registration Fee

An increase Of 2 cents is to be
made in the near future in the fee
for the registration Of letters and
mail packages.
Announcements of the proposed
changes was made by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. The decision
to increase the registry fee
followed an extended inquiry into
the registry system by II special
committee appointed by the post
master general.
1t was decided to call in n score
of registry officials of ripe ex-
perience and ability from various
parts of the country for a more
general meeting.
1t is understood to Ike Mr..
llitchcock's purpose to take up
the registry system first in con-
sidering all branches of the postal
service for reorganization where
ever greater efficiency and less ex-
penditure may Ike effected.
In his talk with number Of
delegates who attended the recent
annual convention of the National
Association of First Glass Post
masters at Toledo. Mr.. Hitchcock
learned they were almost unani-
mously of the opinion that an in
crease in the registry fee from 8
to 10 cents would not be opposed
when it is understood that the
government is losing several
million dollars through the present
system.
BY law the postmaster general
is authorized to make the registry
fee as high As 30 cents. IT. 1874
it was reduced from IL to 8 cents,
but increased to 10 cents in 1875.
1t was reduced from 10 to 8 cents
IN 1903.
The registry service is the most
expensive of any rendered by the
department owing to the pre-
caution taken to insure correct
delivery and absolute safety in the
transmission of registered articles.

E. H. Hartman Dead

met the only lasting defeat of his
life last Thursday at the hands Of
death. Secluded in his magniti-
cent home on Tower Hill, surround
ed by his family, he seccumed to in
testinal disorder yesterday after
noon, after fight which will rank
for grit with his remarkable tinan-
cial struggles.
The time of death was given to
the world as 1856, but Harriman's
sister said last night the end came
At 1880. Whether this apparent
discrepancy has a bearing on the
current belief that every effort
was made to lessen the intiuenc e
of the fnancier's death on the
stock market is problematical but
it is considered significant that the
announcement was made half an
hour after trading ceased.
From early manhood COM
manding figure in Wall street &C.
tivity, Hartman in 1897 gained a
foothold which raised him to a
place among the halfdozen fnan-
cial giants of the age. The Union
Pacific was the despair of many
moneyed interests whose brains
and capital had failed to make the
road pay. Hartman, backed by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the Stand
ard Oil interests, secured a con-
trolling interest, reorganized the
management, and converted the
bankrupt company into one of the
best dividend payers. In this and
later in the Southern Pacific oper-
ations, Harriman's policy was
lavish expenditures which made
the properties as nearly perfect as
possible. This policy was contin-
ued ON all the Hartman lines.
Harriman's most spectacular
performance was when he struggl-
ed with the Morgan-Hill interests
for contol of the Northern Pacific
corner resulted in the stock going
to 81, 900. At the ''show down."
Hartman produced $78,00O,OOO
of stock out of a total of 1856, 900,
600. However, the Hill-Morgan
people had the whip hand through
a bylaw permitting retirement of
preferred stock. OF his holdings
S4l, 900 was preferred stock; but
Hartman secured a compromise
and he and some of his associates
were elected directors of the
Northern Pacific.
Hartman was a maker and con-
solidator of railroad systems. At
the time of his death he was in
command of over $4,000 miles of
transportation lines, which include
many of the most prominent and
well-known transcontinental sys-
TENS.
Estimates of Harriman's wealth
varied from $50, 900, 900 to $780,
100000. Besides his shares of
the Union and Southern Pacific
systems, and = score of tributary
properties, he is credited with
owning large holdings of Santa
Fe, Baltimore & Ohio, Delaware
& Hudson. Erie, Illinois Central.
New York Central, Pacific Mail
Steamship compcny, and Brook
lyn Rapid Transit. He is report
Cd 70 have been the largest stock
holder in the Wells Fargo Express
company.
Interest in the death of Edward
H. Hartman is accentuated in the
case of Black Hills people, be-
cause of the deceased having been
. large holder Of mining proper
ties and having other interests in
Deadwood and vicinity. He was
only recently reelected president
Of the Golden Reward company,

Our Carnival, or Jubilee" as
it has been heretofore termed, was
this year at most failure so far
as a crowd was concerned. But
those who attended seemed to en-
JOY the pleasures of the occasion
immensely. The reason for the
lack of numbers was owing to the
unlucky circumstance of bad
weather on the opening day. A
cold drizzle kept hundreds away
from the town. This continued
during the entire first day, and
still continued to threaten bad
weather on the two days following.
Everything went of as smoothly
as could be expected under the
circumstances. One or two little
unfortunate Incidents occurred
which were deplorable and which
everyone connected with, regretted
exceedingly. A tough from over
on the North Western undertook
to display his inherent venom and
was promptly handed the ''kibosh"
in the form of an empty beer
bottle smashed against his ear.

If there is any doubt as to the
productiveness of Stanley county
soil in anyone's mind they are
cordially invited to pay a visit to
the farm of w. K. Mitchell, three
miles east of town. and be con-
vinced that no better soil exists
anywhere. Mr.. Mitchell has IS
acres of sod corn that is out of the
way of frost which will yield 40
bushels to the acre. He also has
what he thinks is the prize squash
vine. This vine is over 50 feet in
length and has % growing squash
on it, I of which are now about the
size of an ordinary milk pail. The
writer can vouch for this as he
helped measure it. Mr.. Mitchell's
farm is only an example of what
can be done with little work and
some of our farmers should profit
by it.-Cottonwood Republican.

The First Annual Central Stanley
County Fair.

LIE IAlr has become history
and in view of all the circumstanc.
es 1t must he counted a success.
The crowd. especially on the first
day, was not rs large rs could be
desired: but taken as Il whole the
attendance was very encouraging.
The largest crowd. of course,
showed up on the last day.
The agricultural exhibits were
not extensive, but included many
tine specimens, We believe that
no finer alfalfa exhibit will be seen
anywhere in the state thi, year
than shown on the north wall of
Exhibit Hall. The small grains.
especially those shown in bulk
thrrshed. were No. / The
melons and other truck of that
nature were worthy of mention.
But is is not possible to discuss
this feature of the fair in detail.
The poultry exhibits were ex-
tensive. and fine specimens were
shown Indeed. we know of no
feature of the fair more creditable
and worthy of comment than the
poultry shown. This will not
have to increase much to become \
whole fair in itself.
The carnival company held
forth throughout the three days
and added color to the affair. FOR
an insigniticantIy small sum the
visitor could see the James Boys
scatter death from the muzzles of
their winchesters, or hear the
sweet singers of Dixie Land, not
to mention the Hindu lady who
was willing to lift the curtain and
give you y heeting glance at your
future. 1t was the Midway of the
fair in itself.
The ball games never failed to
attract large crowd. Philip
played Lead, and the fans got
their moneys worth. The first
game WAS bit ragged, ending
with 4 stopping score in Philips
favor. On the second day the
Hill Billies braced. and gathered
in their game by much closer
margin. Philip took the third
game by a score of four to three
in = seven inning round up, the
game being called at that stage in
order that the visitors might
catch the train home.
The sporting fraternity assure
US that the races we're good. No
very fast time was made, but,
nevertheless, the program furnish
ed about As much excitement as
could we'll have been derived from
faster events. Slim Taggart won
the relay race on the last day, and
while attempting to gather in the
automobile race overturned his
machine and seriously injured his
knee. The machine was consid-
erab)y damaged, but will no doubt
be in the races next year.
One thing deserved mention in
conclusion, and that is the efforts
displayed BY the management in
making ready for their first fair.
Only a few weeks ago they COM
menced work on the raw prairie.
Since then they have dug we'll
that furnished an abundance of
water for man and beast. and pro-
vided . watering tank and pump
for the service of patrons. A
high board fence was erected
along the south side of the
grounds, painted, and a ticket
Office built at the gates. The
grandstand was moved and race
track surveyed and graded. An
exhibit hall was erected that
would BE- 4 credit to any fair as
sociation in IN eastern state. Be-
sides these benches, shelves, and
stalls for stock were provided.
