REPORT ON
POST OFFICE

Washington, Jan. 12.-Tmnspoua
ton of the mails by railway, steam
ship lines and various star routes cost
IIe Government, during the fiscal year
ending June 3Oth, 1909, $S3.493, 762.
These are figures given in tAe an
nual report OF Joseph Stewart, Second
Assistant Postmaster General, which
was made public today. The number
of railroad routes employed by the
department was 1916, a~ggregating
217,II5 miles. The total expense of
the railway service for the year was
S45.054,5S4. For the fiscal year of
1911 it is estimated that the ~expendi-
lures for railroad transportation viii
be si6.520, 600.
The result of tae readjustment of
pay for railroad transportation, eff
fective July 1, 1909. for the ensuing
four years, based upon the weighing
of the mails, shows a decrease of
s494,36O.3I OF sos per cent; and for
railway post-ofhce car pay a decrease
of s3.195-37. or 90 per cent.
II has developed that electric street
railway companies in some cities de
nand extortionate rates for carrying
the mails. Concerning this situation,
Mr.. Stewart says:
I'm view OF Ine demands made by
electric car companies for higher
rates for service in the large cities it
is found desirable, in some cases to
substitute motor-wagon service for
the electric car service"
As the appropriation made by Con
gress for railway mail service cannot
be used for motor wager service, IL is
recom7r ended that $4,000 be appro-
priated for the motor-wagon service.
II is shown by the report that auto
mobiles are displacing, to an extent
not only the street cars, but horse
drawn vehicles as means for the
transportation of mails in cities.
The total xpens of the foreign
mail service for the year was So
734. 665. The rates payable TO the
steamship companies for the sea con
veyance of letter mails were 50 cents
a pound to American steamers and
four frances a kilograzn to foreign
During the year 355,S59.
2S3 pieces of mail were sent from
the United states to foreign countries
and 2~70.2OO,32O pieces were received.
The amount collected by this country
in postage On mails sent abroad was

In a general discussion of the for
eign mail situation, MIR. Stewart says:
Under existing provisions of law
the department is unable to secure
contracts for the transportation of
our foreign mails in American steam
ships to the ports of Brazil and Ar
gentina and those of the Orient and

On the 4th day of the current month

date for Justice of the peace in the
newly created precinct No. 2. These
friends felt sure there would be 40
opposition, and l agreed to yield TO
their wishes, on the condition that
my short residence in the limits OF
said precinct would not render me in
eligible to the Office if the people
SHOULD select me. Having secured the
opinion of good lawyers that | was ell
igible, / authorized a friend to an.

This latter statement has already
diverted some of my support, and will
continue to lessen my chances during
tle few short days until the election.
My work and conversation has beer
in evidence before the people of
Ohaves County for about -four years,
and in the face of this fact | have
been assured of the arden SuDDort of
