CAMPAIGN TO MAKE
POSTOFFICE PAY
May Raise Postal Rates
On Periodicals Carried
AS Second Class.

There is no reason that the Postoffice
Department should not be a seIf-sus-
tanning institution. according to Repre-
sentative Weeks, the new chairman of
the House Committee on Postoffices
and Postroads. and Mr.. Weeks init
mates that a campaign to bring about
this end is to be launched by his COM
mittee.
Asked what the first step probably
would be, Mr. Weeks said:
THE President has offered one sug-
gestion that is a very material one.
That is, to increase the rate of postage
on magazines and periodicals, now car
ried at the regular second-class rates
given newspapers.
Room For Revision.
There is undoubtedly room for a re-
vision of the prices now being paid the
railroads throughout the country for
the handling Of railway mail. To my
personal knowledge, 1 know of two
roads in particular that are being I'M
derpaid for this work. On the other
hand. there is reason to believe that
you will find roads which are receiving
more than they deserve, in proportion.
1T is hardly possible, however, to set
a general, unvarying rate for the rail-
way service.
"The'freqUency of stops, the length of
haul, and the bulk handled, are things
that make it imperative that every case
should be handled Individually I see

serve project?
That question Is giving anxiety TO the
Appalachian forestry interests, which
for two or three years have been urging
their project with the greatest earnest
ness. Last winter they secured passage,
through the House, Of the bill by Mr..
Weeks of Massachusetts, to appropriate
SIS, 100000 for this project, but II died in
the Senate. The hope is that the present
Congress may be induced to pass it.
Opposition Known.
The opposition of Speaker Cannon and
of Chairman Tawney, Of the Appropri-
atoms Committee. is well known, ana
il is expected they will make a strong
effort to induce the President 10 accept
their view. The advocates Of the pro-
ject are just as determined to get the
President on their side. and it is con-
sidered that the position which the
President takes in this matter will be
highly significant of his general atti-
tude toward conservation. Consequently

Mr.. R. D. Cuninghame Mr.. Roosevelts hunter,
is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know more about game in this section Of the
world than any other game expert.
No more unique sight ever presented to
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when l aighted from Uganda railway coach at
kapit Plains. where Mr.. Roosevelt and his army
were grouped. The station is on Sir Alfred Pease's
ranch or estate as 1t is known here.

Abdallah is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashngs which the heads of the expedi
ton often compelled to administer to quell
impending mutiny are never necessary with this
character. He is snilue type of African and be
cause of his good qualities he commands better
pay than the rest of his fellows.
The man who aided Mr.. Roosevelt in getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any of his servants to do duties for which any of
the others were hired.
The labor union instinct is second nature with
the attache of the African hunting expedition. Let
gun bearer try to do the work of porter
bush beater and there is in camp at once
Neither may the game carriers beat the game into
sight. Perhaps this system is for the best after
all for the reason that every man specalizes and
therefore is able to do his own allotted work to q
better advantage.
1t is said here that Mr.. RoOsevelts entire expe-
diton will cost between $4,000 and $40 900. which
to an American hunter may seem an enormous
price. But hunting wild game in Africa is a heavy
undertaking and in order to go through with such
task that amount OF money is actually neces-
sary. But the party is getting results and that is
what they figure is the proper viewpoint

To Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been
source of wonderment and pleasure. Every
thing new to him. He had read about the
mysteriousness of darkest Africa but had never
been given an opportunity to even peer into the
confines of a real lion hunting camp.
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father are in the best O. health. both wearing a
swarthy tan which is darker than the jungle
stained khaki suits in which most of the hunting
is done.
short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here and he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organization is
doing for the African savage. The morning of
the day he visited the mission he spent in hunt
ing Culubra. monkeys and succeeded in shooting
several which were added to the list of speci-

Perhaps the biggest test of Rooseveltian siren
