POSTAL DEFICIT
GREATLY REDUCED

Washington, d. c., Dec. ia
year ago the fiscal records of the pos
tai service disclosed a deficit of sew
enteen and a half million dollars, the
largest in the history of the country"
says the annual report of Postmaster
General Hitchcock given out today.
"In the space of twelve months re-
duction of eleven and a half millions
has been made in this deficit the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts as
reported for the year ended June 80
last amounting to only s5,S4S,566 8S.
1T is most gratifying to report
that this unprecedented reduction has
been made without any curtailment of
postal facilities. On the contrary,
the service has been largely extend
ed. Attempts in previous years to re-
duce deficit by restricting the de-
velopment OF the postal service have
invariably failed. The policy of the
present administration has been to
wipe out losses by increasing the pos
tai business along profitable lines,
and while thus enlarging the depart
ment's income to reduce as far as pos
sible the rate Of expenditure by cut
ting out wasteful processes, by sim
plifying and rendering more effective
the methods Of handling postal busi-
ness, and by raising to the highest
possible standard the efficiency OF Of
ficers and employes."

The smuggling of art objects, vel
vets, woolen, dress making materials
snce Dec. IL, 1909, has resulted In
"a actions FOR forfeiture, tho amount
sued for being more than $2,250,000.
With regard to smuggling tourists
the report says: During the sum-
mer of 1910 another important class
of customs frauds has become con-
spicuous - that IS, the smuggling by
tourists. This form of smuggling has
been found to have existed to a very
substantial extent. especially in re-
spect to importations of personal.
jewelry by people of wealth. III or
der to break up this practice, GRIM
inal prosecutions have been under
taken, in addition to the forfeiture
of goods. The cases have benerally
been so clear that the defendants have
plead guilty, receiving heavy fines. In
the earlier cases the court refused
to impose prison sentences but after
the prosecution had obtained such
publicity as to give wide warning to
returning travellers, the judges made
it known that further offenders would
be punished by imprisonment"
Attorney General Wickersham says
that prosecutions under the antitrust
law included proceedings which
brought the sugar trusts to account
for wrecking the Pennsylvania Su-
gar Refining company and have since
resulted in n suit by the. government
| to dissolve the sugar trusts. Bucket
shops have been suppressed in great
numbers.
The bureau of investigation is high
ly commended especially in its work
in the trust cases.
The report sets forth a large volume
of work in protecting water rights
for reclamation projects. in prosecu-
ting offenders against public land
laws which resulted IN fines amount
ing to s130,595 and the recovery Of
S79,07S acres of land, and many suits
brought to recover Indian lands at
tanned by grafters with forged deeds
Legislation recommended by the

Sues to Collect Note.

B. L. Burroughs has instituted suit
for the collection of a note for 1850
with ten per cent interest and $40
attorney fees against L. Reeder and
wife and Clyde Jenkins and wife. In
his complaint he alleges that the note
is due and that the Reeders refused
to make payment. Therefore, he asks
that a piece of Hermiston land on
which he holds a mortgage be sold
by the sheriff and that his claims be
settled from the proceeds. Jenkins
and wife claim some interest in the
land in question and are therefore
made defendants also. Phelps and

Smails Perjury Case.

Walla Walla, Wash.-The Smails
perjury case took a new and unlooked d
for turn today. when an application
for new trial was made and an af-
fidavit filed from Mrs May Auban in
which she says the note and mortgage
Smails held were meant to be $225O.
Originally there was an action brought
against Smails charging that the note
In possession given by Mrs Auban
had been raised from a small sum to
the larger one.
After much litigation Smails was
eventually convicted Of perjury, sem
fenced to one to 16 years. but Is yet
out on bail. pending an appeal to the
supreme court.
Mrs. Auban's affidavit amounts to
a withdrawal Of prosecution, and in
1t she says undue influence was used
upon her to induce her to begin the
action. Smails u the brother Of a

PENDLETON REPRESENTED
Portland People Preparing for Elabo-
rate Entertainment of National
Woolgrowers' Association-Session
the First Week in January.

That the business men Of Portland
are awake to the Importance of the
big gathering of sheepmen and wool
growers which is to be held in the me-
tropolis during the first week in jan
uary is attested by the letters being
received in this city from c. c. Chap
man, secretary of the Portland Com
mercial club and chairman OF the
committee on invitation appointed by
that organization.
The first letter was received by Ben
F Hill, secretary OF the Pendleton
commercial association, and in 1t is
pointed out the splendid opportunity
which the coming occasion affords
for the local organization to get in di-
rect touch with several thousand peo-
pie allied with agricultural interests
IN all parts of the country Because
of the fact that the railroads have
granted very low rates, Mr.. Chapman
estimates the number of delegates
from the states will be in the neigh
borhood of 1000, the majority of
whom, he says. will want to visit va
rious parts of Oregon before return
ing to their homes.
He. therefore urges that the Pen
dleton Commercial association be of.
ficially represented at the convention
so that this portion of the state may
receive its just exploitation and he
extends an invitation to all visiting
members to make the Portland Com
mercial club rooms their headquarters
during their stay in the city in order
that they may also take advantage OF
the opportunity to get in touch with
the inquiry promotion, statistical and
industrial bureaus of that body.
