POSTAL DEFICIT
Hitchcock Reports -ReduC.
ton of $II,5OO,OOO.
RURAL DELIVERY IS COSTLY
Renews Recommendation For Par
cells Post-Over 1900 New Post
offices Established During
Past Year.

Washington, Dec ~. - Postmaster
General Hitchcock has issued his an
nual report, which states in part as
follows:
"A year ago the fiscal records OF the
postal service disclosed a deficit OF
$1750O.O0O, the largest in the history
OF the country. In the space Of twelve
months a reduction Of 81 100000 has
been made in this deficit, the excess
OF expenditures over receipts as re-
ported for the year ended June 80 last
amounting to only $5.S4S,566.SS.
1t is most gratifying to report that
this Unprecedented reduction has been
made without any curtalment OF pos
tai facilities On the coGrary, the SER
vice has been largely extended.
Parcels Post.
"The recommendation made In the
last annual report Of the department
for the introduction Of limited par
eel post service on rural routes is ear
nestly renewed. II is believed that as
soon as the postal savings system IS
thoroughly organized the postofiice de-
partment should he prepared to estab-
lsh throughout the country a general
parcel post.
Next to the heavy loss resulting
from the low postage rate on second
class mail the principal inroad into the
profits of the postal service Is that
made by the excessive cost OF rural
delivery. The large expenditures for
rural mail service are far more lusti-
fable. however. than are the much
heavier payments required to meet the
losses incurred on account Of sec
ond class mail.
Postal Savings System.
"The board of trustees created by
the act of June %. 1910, to control,
supervise and administer the postal
savings system has made subs antal
progress in periecting a plan OF oper-
alton
After a most careful Investigation
and numerous conferences VITA icau'
ing bankers the board unanimously
decided to adopt the plan OF using Ger
,ifcates OF deposit instead OF pass
books.
The departments present policy. as
already indicated, is to g. nd the
service as rapidly as is warranted by
Increasing population and to accom-
plish its savings not by the curta!l-
mont OF postal facilities. but by han
ding in a more systematic and bust
nesslike manner the constantly ex-
panding volume Of the mails. In FUR
ther?nce Of this policy there were es-
tablshed during the year over 1870
new pas;oTces, while the rural deliy-
cry system was greatly extended by
putting into operation 5l5 new routes.

of Michael Cudahy will not affect her
income The Cudahy children are not
anywhere near Chicago, and have not
been for a month or more. They are
right here in southern California-and
they will stay here
Come to think of 1t, however, maybe
Mrs. Cudahy does not know that they
are here, but more than a month ago
they were sent from Chicago to the
Academy of the Holy Name, in Pasa-
dena, and two weeks ago they were
taken from there to the Pomona con-
vent, near Alhambra. It Is not likely
they will be changed again, for the
Cudahy family Is bound to have them
all educated and to pay them $50, 900
each when they become of age"
Immediately after the cutting affair
at the Cudahy home In Kansas City

Jack Cudahy, Michael Cudahy went to
Kansas City and interviewed Mrs.
Cudahy. The father had obtained the
custody of the children and the ques-

announced he had made a settlement
with Mrs. Cudahy, but the terms were

specialist whose knowledge, skill and
ability is far above the average ply
|sician
DR.. Darrin makes a speciality of
all diseases, of a chronic and obsti-
nate character that have for years
or lifetime resisted the ordinary
modes of practice and are the classes
of maladies in the treatment of
which he has become pre-eminent
throughout the American continent,
and especially on the Pacific coast,
and northwest, and by his success
has achieved for himself an enviable
reputation.
According to the time-honored
custom, DR.. Darrin will give free
treatment to the worthy poor from
8 to 10 a. m. daily. Those who are
able to pay will receive treatment
between 10 a. m. and p. m. Eve
nings, to 8.
1t is to be remembered that DR..
Darrin's visit to Wenatchee is linn
tied to July 10th, therefore no time
should be lost to call for him. He
makes no charge for private counsel
at his office. Consultation. through
examination by the latest European
method and a candid, correct opin-
ion are wholly free, and above all,
|strictly private and confidential. His
fees for treatment are very low and
reasonable and he is always willing
to arrange the terms of payment to
suit the circumstances of the case,
|such as time and accommodation or
installment payments to those not
able to pay cash.

DR.. Darrin is certainly the most
remarkable and successful physician
that ever visited Wenatchee. The
perceptive faculties of the physician
seem so we'll trained that he tells at
once every disease of the human
body and precisely what condition
of health or disease exists; detects
and describes every symptom, ache
and pain, and gives full history of
the case from the beginning to the
end; tells so plainly that shows he
is correct. He tells prospects of life
or danger of death, whether a cure
is possible or impossible. He aston
ishes every one by his wonderful and
correct knowledge of diseases SO
plain, and his skill and ability so
great that a speedy cure is an abso-
lutte certainty.
This is an opportunity for the af-
f1icted to be cured. No matter what

BRIDGEPORT MAN
IN CITY
$4,000 for State-Aid Roads
There-Wheat Pros
poets Good.

J. M. Stodjard, editor of the
Bridgeport Republican, accompanied
by his wife, came down from the up
per country Saturday and remained
in town over Sunday, leaving today
for Seattle Mrs. Stoddard has been
suffering with nervous prostration
for several months and it is hoped
that a two months stay along the
salt water will better her condition.
Mr.. Stoddard reports the Bridge
port country in a prosperous condi-
ton and that while in some portions
of Douglas county the wheat crop will
be less than half the usual yield, the
two sections tributary to Bridgeport,
Pearl and Dyer countries, almost as
many bushels as last year will be
marketed.
He states that at the July meeting
the Douglas county commissioners
made the final appropriation for the
state aid road btweeen Bridgeport
and Bridgeport orchards, distance
of three miles. $4,000 will be
spent on the road and work will
start early in August.
James Pershing, of Chicago, came
down on the boat with Mr.. Stoddard
and left the same day for Spokane
but will probably return to Wenat-
chez in time to join the big excur-
sion of Wenatchee business men who
will go up the river July 10Th. Mr..
Pershing is one of the largest land
owners in the Bridgeport country.
For the past year he has owned a
fourth interest in the 5000 acres of
fruit land known as the Bridgeport
Orchards besides having an 80 acre
tract in this body individually. While
on this recent trip he purchased a
third interest in the 80 acre orchard
that lies inside the corporate limits
OF Bridgeport. This orchard is four
years old and probably the finest
tract of land in that country. He
also has purchased some tracts along
the Columbia river a few miles above
Bridgeport that will be waterei by
pumping plants.
Bridgeport entertained the largest
crowd in her history July 4th and
5th and no accidents occurred.
