RAISE MONEY FOR
ORPHAN CHILDREN

In furtherance of the movement re-
Gently launched to establish a North
west Benevolent society and build a
nome for orphan children a mass
meeting was held in the Central
Christian church yesterday, and over
s21O0 was raised in less than two
hours. Because of inclement weather
as large a crowd as hoped for was
not present, but those attending gave
literally. there being three $500 do
nations.
Field Secretary T s. Handsaizer
who has been active in the move
ment, was the principal speaker at
the meeting yesterday. He stated last
night he felt confident of being able
to raise $4,000 in this city alone. and
that if successful the home would be
located in this city. The society has
selected a tract of 10 acres between
this city and College Place which will
be purchased provided the necessary
sum is raised. The Northwest Benev
olent society includes Washington, Or
egon, Idaho and Montana. A canvass
for money has not been made outside
of this county and already $500 has
been raised for the purpose. Little
trouble is expected in raising at least
$4,000 to buy the ground and erect
some of the buildings Although the
movement originated in the Christian
church the home is to be thrown open
for every orphan in the northwest and
the support of all is solicited.

1() CENTS
REGISTER
NEW RULING is IN EFF
Feet THROUGHOUT
THE u. S.
Changes in Local Carrier
Force Are Also Given
Out Today.

Some surprise was caused this morn
among those who wished to send re-
gistered mail through the local post
office, when announcement was made
that the fee had been increased from
eight cents to ten cents, the new rul-
ing of the department in Washington
having gone into effect this morning.
The order is intended to help place
the registry department on business
basis and make it self-sustaining, be-
ing in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the committee appainted
to investigate the registration service.
The order also increases the maxi
mum indemnity paid to the owner or
lost or rifed registered letter raOm
$25 to $50, thus doubling the depart
ments liability for valuable articles in
trusted to it's registry branch. This
additional insurance of $25 for two
cents is granted at a much lower rate
than is offered for a similar amount
by any private concern.
The changes ordered. the pOstmas-
ter-general says, constitute the first
move toward making the postal ser
vice self sustaining. The registry sys-
tenn has been conducted at a loss and
to make it pay it's way radical meas
ures are necessary.
The committee investigating the
subject has proposed some new feat
ures which are now being considered
by the postmaster general. These in
clude the establishment of a parcel
registration system with a five-cent
fee and a small indemnity, and a pre-
ferred class of registered matter of
high value with increases in the fee
and indemnity up to 20 cents and $3.50,
the limits fixed by law.
1t is pointed out by the officials that
the parcel measure will meet a public
demand for a cheap and safe means
of transmitting Christmas packages
and others of like character, and that
the graduating of the fee in accordance
with the risk involved and the amount
of cars necessary to insure safe trans
mission is in accord with sound bus1-
ness principle.
1t also has been suggested that the
idea be carried a step further by ask
ing congress to raise the limit of fee
and indemnity. so that the department
may assume full liability for all mat
ter accepted for registration and may
impose an adequate charge for the re-
Sponsibility undertaken.
