in 1900 I was in Hankow and several
foreign correspondents came to talk to
me about the settlement of the claims
to be presented by the powers At that
time I said that instead of exacting
tremendous indemnities from China, for
bidding the purchase of arms by her, and
in every way attempting to weaken her,
the nations aggrieved should insist in
the incorporation in the protocol of
peace clause to the effect that the i'm
perial government should send 1000 stu
dents each year to foreign countries to
be educated. If that were done it would
have been the best guarantee that no
repetition of the Boxer troubles would
occur. Unfortunately, the powers did not
see 1t that way

training Of youths abroad had benefited
China up TO the present time.

for foreign bred men to assist the gov

Zero temperature has been infrequent

Of the pitch. which is considered neces-
sary to hold the coal dust together.
Ignite Is q poor form of coal brown IN
color, and is found in great abundance in
several Western States, notably North
and South Dakota, Montana and Texas
Its use has been greatly restricted be-
cause Of its tendency 70 slack or turn to
dust shortly after it is mined and brought
to the surface. Because OF the great
amount of moisture it contained, between
80 and 40 per cent, the Ignite has been
difficult to burn under boilers or in
stoves. There Is said to be 10000 square
miles OF territory underlain by Ignite and
millions of acres belong, to the govern
ment. The Bureau Of mines sometime
ago conducted a series of experiments at
the pumping plant Of the Reclamation
Service, at Williston, N. Oak, and
succeeded in developing a furnace that
would burn the Ignite satisfactorily. But
this did not solve the problem Of the
transportation Of the Ignite. The bureau
therefore sent to Germany where the
briquetting Of Ignite is much farther ad-
vanced, and obtained from that country
a powerful briquetting machine. The ex-
periments have gone far enough to indi-
cate that Ignite can be satisfactorily bri-
quetted at a cost that makes the manu-
facture of briquets commercially possible
The approximate cost of briquets, loaded
on cars, from a briquet plant located at

RURAL CARRIERS
TO GET INCREASE
Way Paved for Parcel Post
by A,OO0,0 1000 Expenditure.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has is
sued an order for the disbursement o.
81, 900 in the current fiscal year as in
creases in salaries of rural letter carriers
The sum was appropriated for the purpose
at the last session Of Congress in terms
that left 1t at the discretion of the Post.
master General how much of it should be
expended
Mr.. Hitchcock has decided to authorize
the expenditure OF the full amount. The
effect will be to increase the salaries OF
all rural carriers on standard routes from
500 to $1,000 a year, with proportionate
increases on the smaller routes
On June 80 last there were 1852 rural
carriers, and their aggregate salaries for
the fiscal year just ended was about $685.
793, OOO The rural delivery system was
started only fifteen years ago. 1t in
creased from eighty-three, at a cost of
s14,s4O. for the fiscal year 1897, to 1864
carriers, at a cost of S24, 4,2O1, $50, for the
fiscal year 1906. A large growth has also
occurred in the last five years, the cost
Of the service having increased about
SO, 100000.
Start at Small Pay.
When the system was first established
carriers were paid only 500 year. The
next year the maximum annual pay was
increased to $500 and in the following year
to S4OO. In 1900 the maximum compensa-
ton was made $500 and in 1902 5000, In
1904 further increase to S72O a year was
granted, and finally in 1907 the maximum
pay was advanced to 5000. The maximum
Of 81, 900, to be paid in the current year, is
thus Just five times the salary at which
the system was started fifteen years ago.
An important consideration that in
duced Mr.. Hitchcock to authorize the full
expenditure OF the 100000 was his de-
sire to give the rural carriers ample COM
pensation to cover any additional burden
to be placed on them by the establish
ment OF the parcel post system he has
recommended for rural routes
Now THAI the men are to receive such
an increase, he feels that Congress
should lose no time in authorizing the
carrying of the parcels. He points out
that a parcel post system on rural
routes can be conducted without any
extra expense to the government, other
than the $4,0c0,000 salary increase, which,
in his judgment, will be more than offset
by the parcel post revenue.
Conducted at n Loss.
During the current year it will cost the
government about s4O,0OOOOO to maintain
the rural delivery service, and at present
that service is being conducted at a loss
Of about 81, ,0OO,0 600 a year. the largest loss
incurred by the postal department ex-
cepting that on second-class mail.
Mr.. Hitchcock believes that under
proper management such a parcel post
system as he has recommended for rural
routes will enable the department to
wipe out the great losses the government
now sustains in the conduct Of the rural
delivery system, insuring the mainte-
nance and proper extension Of that sys-
tenn as a self-supporting branch of the
postal service.
