or similar inscriptions are personal
messages, and are to be written only on
first class mail packages. The CLASH
fication committee Of the postoffice de-
partment at Washington decided this
last week, and each postmaster through
out the United States will be given or
ders to this effect. The words may be
stamped or printed on third and fourth
class parcels but when written, must
appear on first-class mail only.
As Is usual this time Of the year, the
clerks are hampered to very great
extent BY packages that are poorly
wrapped, coming apart There is moth
ing else to do but to re-wrap them
and this takes time. The rush is not
so great as It will be later on, and the
clerks patiently try to fix up the break
ages. After time they will not have
time to do this, and they will have to
be thrown aside.
If people viii only wrap their pack
ages carefully, they would reach their
destination in good shape, but some of
these are miserable attempts, !" said
clerk as he held up several examples.
Some people forget to address their
presents. There is nothing to tell who
might be the sender. and Of course it
would be impossible to deduce where
they might be going. The clerks have
not time to sleuth around At this time
Of the year.
Stamps are often forgotten. II the
sender would annex return clause to
the package, the parcel would be sent
back Few do this. however.

RESULTS MAY
COME SPEEDILY
OPENING OF THE WESTERN PA
CHIC MAY BRING RELIEF TO
NEVADA BEFORE COMMISSION
RULING.

Railroad men are of the opinion
that Nevada, Utah and other western
states may be granted some relief in
freight rates even before the Inter-
state Commerce commission talks &C
ton. A report has been current ever
since the rate hearing that when the
Western Pacific opens through to the
coast this fall George Gould will
make a sweeping reduction of freight
rates, installing a tariff sheet based
on the number of miles the commod-
tiles are hauled rather than upon
water competition, says the Salt Lake
Herald-Republican.
This sheet, it is predicted, will give
a lower rate to Utah than to Califor-
mia, and a lower rate to Colorado
than to Utah. The principle of mile
age will be the soel basis for the rate
charged, except, of course, higher
crarges will be made for hauling
some kinds of goods tran others.
Frank B. Kindell, a brother of tire
noted George B. Kindell of Denver,
was in Salt Lake recently and said
he had a letter from tire Denver rate
| expert notifying him to expect whole
sale reductions in freight rates. The
letter did not specify from wrat
the reduction would come, but Frank
Kindell believes the Western Pacific
| will be the principal factor.
The reason railroad men are in
clined to put faith in the report is
because the Globe Express company,
a Gould corporation, has Just an
nounced that it would handle Wells
Fargo consignments from GlenwoOd
west on the Denver and Rio Grande
and Western Pacific. 1t is known that
general alteration of the express tar
if is now being made and it is be-
lieved these changes will include re-
auctions.
IF express rates are reduced, 1t
is a moral certainty that freight
rates will follow" said a railroad
man Saturday. For years Gould
has been acting Independently when
ever he could, and when his Western
Pacific is completed he will have a
route from coast to coast and 1t
means he can do as he pleases. Here
tofore the Denver and Rio Grande
has had to maintain amicable rela-
tions with the Oregon Short Line be-
cause no freight or passenger traffic
originated at it's Ogden terminal, nor
could Gould route any traffic to the
coast without using the Hartman
lines. | would not be surprised to
see a slaughter of rates when the
Western Pacific opens"
