There Is no department of the United
States government that is so replete
with genuine human interest as is the
dead letter division of the Post Office
Department There is an indescribable
pathos in the thought that SO many
messages and kind remembrances fal
to reach the persons for whom they
we're Intended, while there is unlimited
amusement to be derived from an in
spection of the heterogeneous collec
ton of articles which pass through
the hands of Uncle Sans mail car
riers.
The division of dead letters was es
tablished as a branch of the Post Office
Department as far back as 1925, but
there was no record kept of it's work
until 1860. Its object is to dispose OF
the various kinds of unbelievable mall
sent to it from the $4,000 post offices in
the United States. This includes letters
and packages unclaimed at the desu-
nation addressed, many that are malled
without any address and those that
cannot be dispa tched for various rea-
sons, such as the non payment or post
age, misdirection, etc. The first effort
of the department is to deliver as mucn
Of shis material as possible either 10
the sender or addrcSsee, the former
most frequently. So enormously mas
the work of this division increased
that it IS row the busiest division OF
the Post Office Department, l76 persons
being employed continually. Last year
there was 13,145.l12 pieces Of mail re-
ceived at the dead letter division. Inc
task Of opening all these Is stupendous
and engages the services of fifteen per
sons VINO each average opening -'ooo
to 5000 daily.

CHRISTMAS
IS THE Time
FOR GIVING

The Capital Journal believes this is
the time of year for real kindness
and charity if such a term is per-
missible. To help families that have
hard luck, and where the bread-win-
ming capacity is weakened from any
cause, is the duty of all citizens.
The Salvation Army is taking up its
annual collection to help those it
brings within the scope of its organ
ization, and it is worthy of hearty
cooperation. 1t reaches a class who
often are overlooked by the churches
and well-meaning persons managing
matters of this kind This newspa-
per would consider it great favor
to learn of families that need little
help about this time of the year, and
such information will be treated as
confidential, and will receive atten-
tion from an organization that is not
given to publishing works along
these lines, So look around your
neighborhood ascertain the needs of
those who are liable to need a lift,

PROF. OSLER RIGHT

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
75, while our mothers have white
hair before they are so. Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea"
and applied it to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy, and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such q
preparation was the trouble of max
ing 1t, especially as 1t had to be made
every two or three days, on account
of souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking al
most any first-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy the public can get a superior
preparation of sage, with the ad-
mixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use Of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair, but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make 1t grow.
Get bottle from your druggist
today, Use It and see for yourself
how quickly dandruff goes, and gray
hairs vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at so cents bottle, and Is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special Agent, ]. c. Perry.

new RATES FOR
OREGON AND
WASHINGTON
RAILROAD COMMISSIONS OF
BOTH STATES WORKING OUT A
NEW TRIAL TARIFF SCHEDULE
REDUCTION OF 90 PER CENT
PROBABLE.

simultaneously with the issuance
of an order by the Washington rail-
road commission calling into exist
ence a new distance tariff for that
state, and an order by the Interstate
commerce commission applicable to
both that state an Oregon, the rail-
road commission for Oregon will
about the middle Of next month issue
new distance tariff which will re-
duce the present rate from Is to 20
per cent
The railroad commission for this
state has been working on such a
tariff for some time, and the above
announcement was made by Railroad
Commissioner Campbell today when
questioned in relation to the sub
ject The railroad commission of
Washington has been working on a
similar tariff and while the commits
sion for this state would be ready to
make its order sooner, 1t desires to
wait until the Washington commits
sion is ready as tie railroads to be
effected are so interlaced that this
will operate benefcially for both
states. In addition to that the or
ders of the two state commissions
will only extend to the boundary
lines of the states and an order is
necessary from the Interstate Com
merce Commission to carry the plan
into effect.
For year or more the commits
sion of this state has contemplated
such a move. The granting Of re-
duced distributive rates for the coast
cities by the interstate commerce
commission has made 1t feasible and
the rate will be used as a basis by
the commission in fixing the rates
for the new distance tariff.
At the present rates are out of
proportion to the distributlve rates.
The commission began its investiga-
tion several months ago and a final
hearing was set FOR December 18.
The railroad companies, however
asked for an extension of 10 days in
which to complete their briefs and
1t has been granted them. That will
bring the final hearing along the
first part Of next month. The Wash
ington commission is experiencing
some trouble and is delayed in its
work, and this wiz probably delay
the Issuance of the order making the
reduction until along the middle OF
next month.
1t will effect every railroad in the
state, and will make a sweeping re-
duction.
