Burlington.
There can be no doubt that the rural
carrier service is a success in the dis
trict from Burlington. The government
uses 5000 pieces of mail handled per
month as a basis. Where the number
is less than 5000, strict account must
be kept for each piece handled. A to-
tai of 132,s48 pieces for the quarter
ending May 81 was handled by the To-
cal carriers. This compares we'll with
former quarters and is considered a
good advertisement for this district.

FAVORED IN
 FREIGHT RATES

Special rates given by railroads to shippers in a way to favor certain places or certain trade are now being discussed all over the country. The Railroad Age Gazette takes the posi- ton that higher rates for inland freight than for shipments to Pacific ports for ocean carriage to distant countries , is necessary. The rate which has been given to steamship companies. it says, would not pay the road if applied to all freight over the same line. For one thing, this paper says that cars would go westward empty without this ocean freight Co move and that the reduced rate GOV CTS the cost to the road of actual haul age and handling. The railroads maIn- tain that they are compelled to divide the rate with the steamship companies or lose the business. According to the Gazette the railroads have objected to the publication of the divided rate because the fact would be seized upon as the basis for a reduction Of domcs- tic rates, and the rotem0EinG power would not be likely to permit discrim- nation against tue general public. The roads it is hntcd, would rather lose this freight than have the matter come to an issue,
 Another discrimination complained of is the special and low rates flor places" Allowances to certain regions, to certain big cities and to certain job bing centers no longer have the ap- proval of the interstate commerce commission, it is declared. Spacious explanations have been offered by the railroad officials and by the interests favored why these allowances have been made and ought to be continued. Critics of the system insist that places and regions ought not to have special advantages in the matter of freight rates any more than individuals, frIus or trusts. The system grew up under rebates, and the next rebate trial may involve whole trading community for instance, Chicago, New York or St. Louis.

Tho Turks' Wives.

Though a Turk is allowed four wives he rarely has more than one, both on account of the expenses and also for fear of placing himself at the legal mercy of so many women. He is also most anxious 10 be considered on a level with the men of other European countries. and he is aware that a plu- rality of wives is fatal barrier to his ambition in this respect. Monogamy is very surely gaining ground, and the harem life is losing its hold on the people. This is especially the case in Constantinople, where the native aris- tocracy is brought Into closer touch with the customs of other races, and there is no doubt that in time 1t will be a thing of the past,-London Chron- icle.

 IN ALASKA

Maj. w. P. Richardson, president of the Board of Road commissioners for Alaska, presents some interesting information on the agricultural condi- tious in the Yukon valley. He states, in his annual report, that the perma- nent population is increasing every year. that more families are locating in the country and the cultivation of gardens and fields gives evidence of fixed habitation, Repeated experi- ments have shown that splendid crops of barley and oats mature in the Yu- kon valley and the farmers have not known of a crop failure,
 There is a general campaign for more agricultural development in the interior of Alaska. The experiment station at Kodiak has developed a hardy breed of cattle that stand the climate and thrive on che navtie ! grasses. The animals are being in- troduced into different sections and are proving valuable acquisitions to the farming districts. Grasses grow to perfection, and all the ordinary vegetables produce excellent crops, The original ideas of the frozen north are gradually disappearing and farms are taking the places of what was formerly thought to be barren glacial deserts.
 The opening of the roads through. out Alaska has given an impetus to the farming and home.building popu- lation. The commissioner reports that in the past year the new wagon raods. sled roads and trails opened ex' tended for a total of S1S miles, and at present there are approximately l5I.9S miles of wagon roads, S96.9O miles of winter sled roads and 25O.O7 miles of trails open and in condition for travel. Such roads insure better transportation facilities and place the farmers on highways to the home markets. Under such conditions the increase in agricultural lines prom tses to be more rapid than in former years.
 Commissioner Richardson states that the gold output for Alaska for the past year aggregated $l9,OOO. .OOO, being greater than the previous year. That source of annual revenue gives every indication of continuing with the development of the country. With goods roads and producing farms the incentive for mining development is doubled The pioneer days of dan gers are practically over when the country can be made to produce It's cattle, grasses. grains and vegeta- bles, and the roads are in condition for delivering those products to the people. There is a great agricultural future for Alaska.-seattle P..I.

GOVERNOR HASKELL ON TRIAL.
Makes Hard Fight to Have Indict.
ments Quashed.

Tusla, Okla, April 5.-Goyernor
Charles \. Haskell, when called be-
fore the Federal Court to-day to an
swer to indictments charging him
with fraud in connection with Musko-
gee town-lot cases. made a hard fight
against the cases coming to trial.
Judge Marshall, of Utah, who is
presiding. heard extended arguments
by both sides on Haskelps demurrer
and will likely render a decision to-
morrow
Governor HaskelPs attorneys began
their fight by asking that the indict-
ments be quashed, charging Special
Attorney-General Rush with miscon-
duct in conducting the grand jury in
quiry, which resulted in the indict-
ments. 1t also was charged that the
grand jury had been illegally drawn;
that a stenographer had been present
during the inquiry and that incompe-
tent testimony had been the basis of
the indictments. These allegations
were vigorously denied by the Gov
ernment counsel.
A great crowd attended the open
ing of the trial. People came from
all parts of the State to see the un-
usual spectacle of Governor on trial
for alleged fraud.

COURT FILLS NEGRO PULPIT.
Police COnfiscate Many Razors Dur
ing Election of Pastor.

New Orleans, April 5-After a
factional row, in which several hun
dred negroes of New Orleans have
figured more or less strenuously, the
pastorate of the Plymouth Rock Bap-
tist Church was officially filled to-day
by order of Judge w. B. Somerville,
of the Civil District Court.
The pastorate of the church one of
the oldest negro places of worship in
the South. was recently left vacant
by the death of Rev. Dave Young
There were two aspirants for the
place-Rev. Tom Henry and Rev Jim
Rees. Rev. Tom, declaring that pos
session was nine-tenths of the law,
took charge of the pulpit. The fol-
lowers of Rev. Jim then got out an
INDUCTION to prohibit Rev. Tom from
even entering the church.
The court finally ordered an cleo
ton and not until yesterday were the
ballots counted, showing a narrow
majority of II for Rev. Tom Henry
out of several hundred votes.
A police detail was stationed at the
church during the election and many
razors were confiscated as contra
brand
