Will DISCIPLINE
THE INSURGENTS
pFcALcITRANTs TO GET NO MORE
FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
pEpoRTED THAT MINNESOTA CON-
GPEsSMAN IS TURNED DOWN.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. &
There was a story IL circulation today
among the Republican insurgents
members of the House that the admins
tration had definitely decided to Withhold
from them their quota Of patronage, ana
that from this time forward the actlVe
work of disciplining the Republicans re-
garded by the organization as recalci-
trant would be prosecuted with Vlgor.
1t was reported that Minnesota CON
gresham who has incurred the dlspleaS-
ure of the regular organization through
his ''insurging" acts, had been told at
the postot1ice department that his rec
concentrations in regard TO the appoint
ment of DostmasterS would receive no
consideration in the future. lie was
definitely given to understand, SO 1t was
stated, that the hand of the adminlstra-
ton would be against him, and that he
could expect no favors or consideration
of any sort.
The rumors went still further, to the
effect that active efforts are to be made
in the home districts of the Republican
insurgents" to prevent denominations,
and that if this effort fails, the lnsur-
gents will be antagoniZed at the polls
r is asserted that several thousand dol
lars have been spent already III the dis
trict of a Wisconsin member TO pro-
mote the candidacy of a rival Republican
aspirant.
a Nebraska member whose majority
over the Democratic opponent at the late
election was very slender, declared that
active efforts were being made against
him in his district by the Republlcan
national congressional committee, and he
added that he had no doubt that the
organization would oppose him at the
polls if the effort to defeat his renomi-
nation failed. He quoted a Republican
leader of the House as saying publicly
that he preferred Democrats in Congress
in place of Republican insurgents"

Though Possessed of S60000 .,


Susan Moore, an aged woman, who
died in a miserable howell in the North

was thought to be a needy woman had
considerable wealth. according to an 9tf
davit filed in Judge Graham's court by
the public administrator The woman
possessed at least 100000, and vet she
begged upon the streets. The woman re,
ceived much money from Catholic char,

HITCHCOCK GIVES
DEFICIT FIGURES
POSTMASTER GENERAL SHOWS
WHERE GOVERNMENT LOSES IN
MAIL TRANSPORTATION.
MAGAZINES CAUSE MOST LOSS.
Zone System Is One Plan to Reduce
Shortage in Receipts for Second
Class Matter.
HAS OTHER PLAN TO STOP LEAKS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. A.
Mora, details of the postottice depart
ment's $17,OOO,OOO deficit, occasioned in
great part by an annual loss of S64,0OO,-
600 in carrying newspapers and maya
zines, were revealed when Postmaster
General Hitchcock made public in full
his long delayed annual report.
The document contains the results OF
an investigation of profit and loss on va
rious classes of mail during the year
1908. In addition to the second class
matter, which comprises magazines ana
newspapers, the government loses money
on third class matter, comprising BOOKS
circulars etc; free congressional mail,
free department mail, the registry serY-
ice and the money order service.
Letter Mail Shows Profit
A profit is made on first class. or
letter mail; fourth class mail, largely
merchandise; foreign mail, and the spe-
cial delivery service. The detailed fig
ures follow:
Receipts. Expenses.
First class mail $132, 304, 844 $78,630 649

Money orders ....... 3946,S13 4,Olo,2Oo
As forecast in his advance synopsis
of his report, Mr. Hitchcock suggests
various methods for reducing the deficit
on second class mail matter. One pro-
DOsaI is to increase the rate on maya
zines, the cost of carrying which is sew
eral times that of newspapers Another
plan is to fix the rates upon the basis
of a zone system, the principle being
that the farther a periodical is carried
the higher the rate to be charged. Still
another proposal is a system of charges
based on differentiation between pure
reading and advertising matter
Magazines Cause Most Loss.
Magazines and other periodical publ
cations. exclusive of daily newspapers,
comprise about SO per cent. of the sec
ond class mail" says Mr.. Hitchcock:
Magazines alone form about 20 per
cent While the average haul of maya
zines proper is more than 1000 miles
and that of other classes of periodicals,
not including daily newspapers, which
comprise about 40 per cent. of the sec
ond class mail. averages less than 600
miles.
The cost of transportation by rail
and by other means forms slightly more
than Il third of the total expense of ham
ding the second class mail. Magazines
proper, because of their long average
haul. show a cost of more than ; cents
a pound for transportation, while for
daily newspapers, for which the average
haul is much less, the transportation cost
as less than : cents pound.

Ft. Hail. in the Oregon country,
was established in 1884 by Capt
Wyeth and Capt. Mckay, who came
through with pack train from the
Missouri river to establish line of
forts or trading posts from the Rocky
Mountains to the Columbia river.
The site was selected on the 18th
of July, and the flag was raised over
the building on the morning of the
1S miles southwest of the present
town of Blackfoot, on the left bank
of Snake river and on the edge of
great natural meadow of probably
thirty thousand acres.
The place was named in honor of
Hall Kelley, a Boston school teach
er, who since 1915 had been advocat-
ing the settlement of Oregon by
Americans, and had done much to ad-
vertise it and interest people in it.
He was to have accompanied this
expedition but got left behind by
some mishap in the east.
In 1885 Capt. Wyeth sold out his
interests to the Hudson Bay company
and man named Grant was in
charge of Ft. Hall for a number of
years, probably up to the time of
the treaty of 1S4S by which the
northwest boundary was agreed upon
and settled by treaty between Eng
land and America.
For eight years or more Mr.. Grant
used every endeavor to prevent Amer
leans from passing Ft Hall into the
Columbia river country, but turned
as many as possible back or to the
southern route leading into Californ-
la. He told them that all the north
west was rough desert or noun
famous country unfit for habitation
and good only for the fur trade. That
it was impossible to take wagons
through, and that the only way to
travel it was on foot or with pack
horses. He induced as many as he
could to abandon their wagons, furni-

Of Water To Setdes---AD Interests Should Stand Fm

The Mackay Dam has been con-
demned by an engineer who thinks
it is faulty in construction. A lot
of laymen agree with him, the state
land board is being criticised for ap-
parent carelessness, some of the best
men of the state are giving their at
tention to the charges, and here is
a brief statement of the case up to
date.
The past four years the work of
building reservoir to impound the
flood waters of Big Lost river valley
and canal system to convey the wat
ers in summer to lands on Powell
tract and Era Flat, have been in.
progress. When the work was far
enough along to convince the state
land board that it was an assured sue
cess, the promoters were permitted to
have land opening and allow selec-
tions of land and to accept the initial
payments on water rights in the sys-
tenn being built. The work of con-
struction and the sales of land and
water rights proceeded with good pro-
spects of having water available for|
the season of 1910, but owing to ma
.ural delays the reservoir was not suf- |
iciently completed to store water last
winter nor to impound the spring
freshest, and many settlers who came
lpon their land lost their crops.
The dam is being built across a
harrow place in the valley at point
hree miles above Mackay, and on
his account is spoken of as the Mac
Kay dam.
The dam at the base is 600 feet
