HONOR FOR THE OREGON.

1t seems altogether fitting that the
Oregon should have the place of hon
or in the maritime celebration of the
opening of the Panama canal because
the Oregon, by her wonderful cruise
around Cape Horn gave the most IL
Illuminating proof of the need for such
a canal. The cruise is historic as are
the words Of Captain Clarke: Don't
tangle me up with instructions; am
not afraid of the whole Spanish
navy" AS the New York Tribune
recalls, it was in March, 1898, that
the Oregon was sent for. She was
then on the Pacific coast, where she
was not likely to be needed and she
was directed to come forthwith to
the Atlantic or Gulf coast, where she
probably would be needed, and where,
in fact she did render valuable ser
vices. Every one wildly remembers
the intense interest with which her
Journey was watched, the mingling of
anxiety and satisfaction with which
her progress from point to point was
noted upon the map and the thank
fulness, relief and exultation when at
last she was reported safe and sound
at Jupiter Lights. But what had the
ship to do and what did she do? The
run was by way of the Strait of Mag
elan, 13,400 miles, and it consumed
sfxty-seven days. Had the isthmian
canal been in existence, it would have
run of only 1900 miles, consuming
only twenty-three days-perhaps less,
Had the canal been in existence the
Oregon would have reached Jupiter
Inlet by April 10. or two weeks be-
fore the beginning OF the war, in
stead of May %, or month after it
began. The canal would have saved
weeks of time. thousands of miles Of
travel. perils innumerable, deep anx-
iety and possibly the war itself, for
the presence of the Oregon with the
rest of our fleet early in April, 1898
might have had material influence in
the negotiations which were still in
progress.
Whatever may be said of some of
the political developments that haze
occurred in connection with the con
struction of the canal and its man

A Story Of Prosperity.

Muscatine Journal: Mississippi
river cities, especially those along the

PEELED to face, and despite the fact
that the realization of the revival Of
river commerce on large scale Is as
yet seemingly as far away as far

when with modern boats and modern

Anticipating this contamination
We most find a considerable satisfac-

WRITING IN EXPRESS PACKAGES

A railroad, steamboat or express
company or other common carrier
may carry letters written and sent by
| its officers and agents which relate
to it's business only, without inclosing
the same in stamped envelopes. All
other letters carried by a common
carrier must be inclosed in stamped
envelopes with the amount of post
age thereon that would be chargeable
if they were sent by mail. The en-
velopes on such letters must bear the
date OF the transmission or receipt.
These provisions are intended to COW
err exceptional cases. The general
rule, in the language of the law, is
that No company or carrier, or any
officer of employee thereof may carry
letters which are neither written by
the company or carrier, nor addressed
to it." Any common carrier violating
this statute is liable to fine of $3.50
for each and every letter SO carried.
The purpose of the law is to give
the government monopoly in the
Transportation of the mails. Attention
is called to the matter at this time
because in its efforts to make itself
selfsupporting the postoffice depart
ment is giving special attention to
the sources of its revenues, and be-
cause also it is the custom of some
people to enclose written matter in
express packages. This is as fragrant
a violation of law as 1t is to conceal
a letter in newspaper or package
with a view of defrauding the govern
ment of the higher rate of postage
which letters require. Persons guilty
of the latter offense are liable to a
penalty of ten dollars, and very few
escape payment of that sum. Hence
forth the character of the matter car
ried by the express companies will be
carefully watched and violations of
the law will be punished whenever dis
covered. 1t will be the part of wis.
dom for both the companies and the
general public to observe the strict
letter of the law.
