RESULT OF CENSUS
ON PACIFIC COAST

Recent statistics from the Pacific
coast furnish a strong hint which
pionts impressively to the indus
trial and agricultural develop
ment of that part of the United
States west of the Rocky mountains.
William H.. Seward, when sec.
rotary of state, bought Alaska from
Ru ssia for a little over $1,000, OOU.
That purchase was not made to re-
pay Russia in money for the
friendship she had shown to the
United States at the time of the
civil war, although it was the
common impression at the time of
the transfer of the property that
this was Secretary Stewards sole
reason.
Instead, he desired for the
United States the whole coast line
from Lower California, with which
Mexico would not part, to the far
north. He always believed that we
made a mistake in the treaty with
Great Britain by which we
abandoned our claim to that part
Of the Pacific coast which British
North America defines.
Seward was certain that the
Development Of California north
ward to the Canadian line before
many years had passed would be
comparable to the development of
the Atlantic coast.

census bureau from the comptroller

When Congress Meets Again
Next Winter
POSTAL DEPARTMENT
Is Losing Its Prestige As That Closest
to the PeopIe-The Agricultural
Department Is Doing Grent
Public Work
BY RoDERICK CLIFFORD

Washington, August 13.-(Special.) -Ad-
vocates of a parcel post delivery are pre-
pairing to push this scheme before the
House committee on postoffices and post
roads at the beginning of the session of
Congress in December. During the last
session of the House this committee had
hearings on the several bills to establish
parcel post, but beyond a reference of the
matter to Subcommittee for further
investigation, no action was taken.
Officials of the postoffice department
say that it would add but little to
the expense of the department should
Congress authorize parcel post. as the
department now has all the facilities for
handling small packages such as would be
sent. Indeed, some of the officials say
that under existing law a parcels post
could be established by executive order.
But the advocates of the scheme say
that the better plan would be to author
lie the department to carry small pack
ages by law. Then express companies
could not charge a usurpation of power
on the part of the postoffice.
Representative Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas who Is making the fight for par
cells post, says that it is clear that under
existing law the postoffice department
has the right to carry small packages,
just as it ihas the right to transport large
bundles of newspapers as second class
mail matter. The Kansas statesman In
a recent letter to a friend here says that
when the small country dealer comes to
understand that a parcels post is not
discrimination against him in favor of
| the large dealer in the city, there will
be no further opposition to the proposed
plan, and the demand for the required
legislation will be practically unanimous.
