CAUSES OF DEFICIT.
Postoffiee Treasury Impoverished by
Rural Delivery and Frankinq.

Expense involved in operating rural
deliveries and abuse of the franking
system out of Washington are given by
Postmaster John d. Mangum, of Mar
quett. as causes of the increased de-
felt in the postoffice departments an
nual report just issued "To my mind
the greatest cause of the deficit is the
extension of the rural delivery system
throughout the sparsely settled dis
tricts." said Mr.. Mangum. "This SER
vice is continually being extended and
accounts for the loss of a large amount
of money. A recent report showed
that rural delivery cost $50, 700 000
with only $5,OOO.OO0 receipts. While
financially there is a loss, the extern
sion OF the rural delivery is doing a
great good for the United States. II
makes IL awkward, however, for the
postal department to have to shoulder
the expense of this missionary work,
though from the standpoint of the
economic good Of the country, ii un-
doubtedy is worth while.
"The franking privilege is greatly
abused. II is all right to send out mail
within reason. but at Washington the
practice Of sending out big packages
and books by the boxfull is being car
ried altogether too far, and II is no
wonder that there is an increased ex-
pense each year. The government also
loses money in the transmission OF
newspapers at tho one-cent a pound
rate. but by performing that service
the post-office department has come
to be one of the most potent educa-
tional factors in the country"

Big Games East and West.
Chicago, Nov 13.-Four important
games are on todays football sched-
ule, three in the east and one in the
west. Michigan faces Pennsylvania at
Phladelphia; Chicago and Cornell
battle at Ithaca; Yale and Princeton
try conclusions at New Haven and
Minnesota meets Wisconsin at Madi-
sor.
Yale Is really preparing for the big
contest with Harvard at Cambridge
next Saturday when the season in the
east viii close.
Chicago. Nov. 13.-If Minnesota and
Notre Dame are successful I'm winning
the remaining football games on their
schedules, some efforts should be made
to bring these elevens together in a
post season game to determine tho
championship OF the west. Chicago
football critics say.
The Gophers, If they win from Wis
consin today will be the champions OF
the conference colleges. If Notre.
Dame wins its remaining contests 1t
will be the title holder of the western
non conference Institutions. If such
situation results, neither team will
have clear claim to the championship
of the west, and the only way, such n
dispute can be settled will be to have
the clevens meet I'm a post-season game.
1t is argued. Although both institu-
tions will have to make concessions. II
will be no harder for one than for the
other Notre Dame in playing Mime
sofa will have to live up to conference
eligibility rules, which state that no
conference team can play . non-con
ference eleven unless the la organ
ization refrains from playing it's fresh
men and, four-year men. The training
table and quarters and other things
which are not permissible at confer
cnco colleges will not make a particle
of difference.
ON the other hand, If Minnesota
agrees to play Notre Dame it will have
to get the consent OF the other mem
bers of the conference. There may be
some objections raised, but 1t is more
than likely such contest could be
pulled off If the interested universities
showed the proper inclinations.

Pushing Railroad Work

Work ON the San Diego and Yuma
railroad is being pushed vigorously
forward and it is the intention of the
company to have the line completed
within the year 1910. The line will
only have to be built to Calexico, where
it will connect with the Inter-Califurnia
road, already running into Yuma, when
we viii have a direct and important
railroad connection with San Diego.
About thirty miles of the track will be
in Mexico, but at no point more than
fifteen miles below the boundary lire.
The running time between Yuma and
San Diego will then approximate six
hours. The company has secured 125
acres of ground at National City, ad-
joining San Diego, for shops and ter
minal facilities.

night on the Arizona side, about sixty
men being employed in two shifts at
present, and work on the California
side will be begun in Il few days. At
the Arizona outlet ON the reclamation
service reservation the first concrete
form, which will ultimately be the
foundation stone or bottom of the shaft,

lith is four feet thick, the bore in its

forms are to lie built and it will be
