SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS THAT
WILL PROVE OF GENERAL
INTEREST.
SERVICE BEGINS JAN. |
Only the Special Parcels Post Stamps
May Be Used-Return Address Is
Necessary In All Cases-Weight
and Size Limits-lnvolves Much
Extra Work.

Additional information regarding
the parcels post, which goes into ef-
feet the first of the year, are being re-
ceived by Postmaster Pfaus, including
the following rules, which summarize
the general provisions:
l. That distinctive parcels post
stamps must be used on all fourth
class matter beginning Jan. I, 1913,
and that such matter bearing ordinary
postage stamps will be treated as
held for postage"
2. That parcels will be mailable only
at postofiices, branch postoffices, let
tered and local named stations and
at such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmaster.
3. That all parcels must bear the
return card of the sender: otherwise
they will not be accepted for mailing.
These rules mean that In order to
mail n piece of merchandise at the
parcels post rates, the package must
bear parcels post stamp and cannot
4 be sent with ordinary stamps by mere
ly marking the package parcels post"
Special delivery letters can be sent
special delivery by placing ordinary
stamps on the letter to the necessary
amount and marking the letter special
delivery" This cannot be done with
the parcels post.
Not only must the parcel to be sent
by the new post bear the distinctive
parcels post stamp, but It must also
bear the return card Of the sender.
This measure Is supposed to guard
against any abuse of the parcels post
by giving the postal authorities the
name and address of the sender of the
package without the trouble of an In
vestigatiOn in case OF suspicion of at.
tempted fraud.
In case the package does not bear
the proper postage stamp, the parcel
will merely be held at the postoffice
and the sender notified that he must
place the proper postage stamp there
on before 1t will be sent out. 1t Is not
stated in the bulletin what action will
be taken in case the return card is
left off the package.
Notice is given in the bulletin that
} postmasters will soon receive parcels
post maps, showing the different zones
into which the country in divided and
, the stations In those zones. These
will also show the rate zones, giving
the rates per pound of parcels sent
cut from the office from various points
With the map will come a book of par
GELS post regulations instructing the
post officials In the use of the map.
The postOffices will be supplied with
scales for weighing the parcels, as the
; present scales in use in the various
Offices will not weigh the limit pro
, vided by the law, which Is II pounds
A special tape line will also be pro
vided with which to measure the
packages to ascertain whether or not
they are within the size limit.
!. The parcels post will involve con
siderable extra labor at all postoffices

OF THE WEEK..
.bALLAST|NG TO FOLLOW
Line viii Be in First-CIass Condition
to Turn Over to the Operating De-
partment by the First of the Year
Discussing the Permanent Train
Service.

P. S. Hervin, resident engineer for
the Great Northern, was out yesterday
inspecting the progress of the Great
Falls-Lewistown line, which was fin
ished last week this side Of the Cot
tonwood bridge. Mr.. Hervin expects
that the line will be finished into Lew.
istown by next Saturday, which will
be well within the limit fixed by Chief
Engineer Hogeland on his recent visit
here. With the rails down, the work
Of ballasting the track between Lewis
town and the Judith river, about
seventeen miles. will be started next
week, and by the first of the year the
whole line will be in shape to turn
over to the operating department and
regular train service will be arranged
AS previously stated in the Demo
crat, the company has been giving
consideration to the service, and it IL
learned that the plan for train run
ming right through from LewistOwn t(
Butte, via Great Falls and Helena, II
looked upon with considerable favor
Such train, equipped with buffe
car, would, 1t is believed, be popular
with patrons going all the way through
from Lewistown to Butte, as well al
those going from Great Falls and Hell
ena to the big copper camp. Return
ing the service would be the same
The distance between Lewistown ant
Butte by this route will not be NOR,
than thirty miles longer than by tn
Milwaukee.

CONTRACT TO TWoHY BROS.
For Construction Of Choteau Line OF
c., N. e p. S. Road.

c., M. e. p. S. Road.
Telegrams were received in the city
yesterday from the office of Chief En-
gineer E. o. Reeder, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railway at
Seattle, announcing the awarding of
the contract for the grading of the
Choteau line of that system to Twohy
Brothers, says the Great Falls Tribune.
The bids for this work had been sub
mitted a week ago, but the award was
not made until the return to Seattle of
Mr.. Reeder, who had been In Great
Falls and other points in the state un-
til about the middle of the week.
The contract calls for the grading OF
about IS miles of roadbed between
this city and the terminus Of the line
at Agawam on Muddy creek about IL
miles north of .Choteau. The grading
will be of a very light character and
only about 100000 yards of dirt are
to be moved on the entire line, ac-
cording to the estimates. The success
full bidder is the firm which is con-
structing the grade of the eastern 60
miles of the Great Falls-Lewistown ex-
tension of the Milwaukee and which
was very recently awarded the con-
tract for the grading of the Milwaukee
terminals in this city, upon which work
has not yet been started.
B. e. Palmer, a member of the COM
pany and superintendent of construc-
ton, is expected to arrive in the city
today or tomorrow to establish head
quarters for the prosecution of the
terminal work.

lull in Rulkan War.

London, Nov. THE last "a hours
have brought little news of Importance
from the seat of war. The report that
Saloniki has been evacuated is prema-
ture and similar report concerning
Monastir is unconfirmed. There is no
authentic news of the alleged defeat
Of the Turks before Tchatalja.
On the contrary Constantinople
dispatch sets forth the Turkish claim
that there are no Bulgarians before
Tchatalja and both armies are resting.
The Turkish reports regarding the
progress of the war have been SO con.
sistently misleading as to have little
value.
The present lull in news may mean
that some important action is proceed
ing. In the meantime, diplomatic ef-
forts to end the war are making no
progress and the European press Is
busy discussing all the aspects of the
settlement of the different questions.
Everything tends to show that almost
lirrecOnciliable antagOnisms will arise
over the alteration of Turkish terri
tory. Servia claims as her share a
large part of Albania, including the
Oriatic ports of Durazzo, Alessio and
SangiOvanni.
According to the Servian premier's
statement to the Paris Temps, the al.
lies desire the partition of European
Turkey, leaving the fate of CONSTANT.
nOple to the decision of the powers.
According to reports current in Ber-
lin, the intention of the allies Is to
divide Albania between Servia and
Greece, but an agreement already ex-
lists between Austria and Italy which
would be supported by Germany, guar
anteeing the integrity and independ-
ence of Albania.
The triple alliance Is determined to
prevent at all costs Servia's reaching
the Adriatic. It is even asserted that
the triple alliance has agreed to make
Albania Independent with the Duke of
the Abruzzi as king.
Another important meeting occurred
at Bucharest today between the Ru-
manian premier and the Russian and
Austrian ministers. 1t Is reported that
the powers tomorrow will commune
cate to the Balkan states Turkeys re-
quest for mediation.
