UNCLE SANS LETTER ADDRESS.
Last Year 13.oOO,Ooo Pieces Of Mail
Matter Went to Dead Office.

A campaign of education has been
inaugurated by the postoffice depart
ment to attempt in some measure to
offset the load of business falling up
on the dead letter division. Last
year more than IS, 900, 600 pieces of
mail matter went to the dead letter
Office, large proportion of which
could not be delivered because of
carelessness in writing addresses.
About 10000 of the number were
contributed from Indianapolis. which
means that one person in every six
in Indianapolis mis-addresses one let
ter every year, or every person mis-
addresses one is every six years.
Upon the card printed by Uncle
Sam for distribution it is stated if
care were taken to supply every let
ter written with a return card there
would be no failure of delivery. 1t is
a precautionary measure, to be sure,
which may be needed but once in six
years, but when that once comes it
may be vitality important to the hap
piness or the prosperity of the sender.
No one knows the tragedies caused by
the letters which never get past the
dead letter office.
To inform the public the depart
ment has printed upon the card a
model form of address. 1t contains
the name of the addressee, the
street, the city and the state in the
order named, each falling below the
other and written on separate lines
In the upper lefthand corner is the
return card. The sender is also en-
joined to use ink and write plainly
In the model form of address the
department has departed somewhat
from the One-time standard. which
decreed that the street address should
be to the left of the main address, on
the lower left-hand corner. The ar
gument against this form of address
is that a street address is all the local
Office distributor in any town is in
terested in; if the street address is
to the left of the main address a de-
livery may be attempted. for example,
in Chicago when the letter was meant
for delivery in Milwaukee, A mistake
of this kind is usually not corrected
until it reaches the carriers. If the
street address is written above the
town both are noticed at a glance
and the possibility of mistakes just as
much leSsened.
The card containing the model
form ofJaddress is being distributed
by carriers where there seems a pos
sibility of its advice being needed.
If you receive one it is a hint that
your style of addressing mail is faul-
ty in some northumberland

HOUSTON A SPLENDID CITY.
Not Only Has Deep Water, But Beau
fuI Water Front.

Houston will undoubtedly be the
leading city of Texas, within a few
years more is the opinion of John
Gregg, the assistant cashier of the
Merchants National Bank of Browns
vile, who has just returned from
the Bayou City, where he attended
the bankers convention this week.
Buffalo Bayou, of which we have
heard SO much continued Mr.. Gregg
is a splendid body of water. Hous-
ton already has deep water right at
her doors, with twenty-five feet of wa
ter in the bayou, and her shipping in
dustry will undoubtedly make her
one of the most important ports on
the entire gulf coast. But it is not
only for shipping purposes that the
bayoVis to be utilized. The citizens
of Houston already realize that the
bayou affords one of the finest bodies
of water for boating and other water
sports, and the entire water front of
the city aside from the shipping dis
trict will one day be beautified and
made the scene of delightful pleasure
resorts. Houston is already one of
the largest and busiest cities in Texas
and she viii give any other aspirant
hard tussle for supremacy among
Texas cities some of these days"

far-off northern friends, who are still
suffering from the effects of May-day

Following up his recent action of
restoring to public entry upward of
a million acres of land withdrawn for
alleged conservation of water re
sources and water power. Secretary
Ballinger has instructed the director
of the geological survey to make
report showing specific locations of
water power sites. upon which report
and effort will be based to secure
legislation for the preservation of
such sites from speculative control
and for their utilization by the gov
ernment. Secretary Ballinger said he
favored conservation and control of
national resources, but he was not
prepared to order withdrawal of pub
lie land from entry unless sanctioned
by law. or for the purpose of conser-
vation and control of resources
through contemplated law. 1t is
believed by the secretary that the
report of the survey regarding water
power sites will make 1t necessary to
withdraw from settlement but COM
paratively small area of land, and
land of such character that it will
not curtail the opportunities of home
makers.
