roads throughout the country Will adopt
that principle.
The Central Passenger Association has
gone on record In favor Of the forty-inch
limit. and other associations. 1t is be-
lieyed, will not deem 1t advisable to adopt
different scheme. When 1t was an
nounced some time ago that railroads
operating in various parts Of the United
States were considering the advisability
of making an extra charge for carrying

number Of trunk manufacturers regis
tered vigorous protests, contending that
their business would be injured by a
rapid decline In the demand for trunks
Of unusual dimensions. An appeal was
forwarded to railroad officials for action
against the plan.
Representatives Of the railroads say ad-
ditional work IS required in handling
these trunks and that their owners ought
to pay an extra charge for the service.
This rule is to be enforced after jan
uary /. There are commercial drummers
who do not at all hike the new rule.

Reports from Mineral Gulch are that
the mountain goats which infest that
section are becoming exceedingly trouble
some to the miners. During stormy
weather, 1t is said. they crowd into the
tunnels that are being driven on the
claims well up on the mountains. and It
Is only by throwing a dynamite car
fridge into the tunnels in the morning
that they can be driven out and the con-
tractors get in to go to work
It is also stated that they are likely
to be the cause of considerable Itiga-
ton among mine owners next year. az
they have destroyed a number OF loca-
ton stakes by eating them Owing to
the fact that alder and willow comprise
the only wood in the gulch. nearly all
the location stakes are OF these woods.
which, in the absence Of other food. due
to the deep snow. the goats attack
eagerly.
A large number Of the animals have
been killed by the men at work in the
gulch, but the number seems to Increase
rather than diminish.

1.-The specific acts complained OF In re-

In order to protect Itself from suits
for infringement OF patents and to pre-
vent Interference with the mail. Mr..
Cutler explained, the Post Office De-
partment has required concerns erecting
and selling mail chutes to execute q
proper bond. Since under an act OF
Congress passed last year authorizing
suits for infringement directly against
the government, the erection and use OF
chutes by irresponsible parties might In
volve the government In serious difficult
ties.
Bonds Given for Years.
Mr.. Cutler says his company has been
required to give such bonds for more
than twenty years. and feels that the
fact that a concern offering to sell mail
chutes is unwilling to give adequate in
demnity bonds has insufficient grounds
for complaint
This" said Mr. Cutler. is all there
Is to the charge as IL is understood here.
So far as can be learned. we have equip
