FACTS ABOUT STAMPS

Reports of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, when taken as a
mandatory show some ASTONISHING
figures. Take. for instance, the
single item of postage stamps; that
is, without the revenue and customs
which, by the bureaus own classifi-
cation, fall under a separate head.
There are fifty.one kinds and de-
nominations printed, ranging from
the little green, one-cent stamp up
to its stately, aristocratic brother
which staggers under a tive-dollar
valuation. Also, fifteen colors are
used in printing the stamps. A
pause here for reflection will
probably convince the most obser-
want person that he is unfamiliar
with several of these colOrs; that
is of course in connection with
stamps. We all know the one, two,
five and ten cent stamps. But to be
able to call to mind just what those
fifteen colors are means a wide
observation as well as a careful
one. For the benefit of those who
fail to solve this self-appointed
riddle, the answer is this: Four
shades of blue, two of green and
two of brown, red, yellow, olive,
orange, purple. lavender and dark
slate.
The stamps which leave the
bureau annually amount to more
than 1o,0OO,OOO,O 900, the latest
yearly report showing the number
to he 10,003. 265, 148.- Washington

.CHILCOOT TUNNEL
OPEN IN OCTOBER

Work is proceeding on the
Chilcoot Tunnel of the Western
Pacific very rapidly. There is a
day and night shift on both the
east and west ends. The company
put in a ventliator on the west end
to force out the poisonous gases
and send in pure air. There is still
$50 feet of muck in the west end
yet to be cleared out, and as quick
as one crew carries away the muck
anothe crew follows and retimbers
the clearing. The heading is still
very hot and the east end still has
poisouiuos gases that make it hard
er to work steadily there. The
company is planning to put in a
ventiIator also in that end to
quicken the completion of the
work. 1t is expected to have the
tunnel reopened for traffic October
18th. The fire occurred May 9Th,
so it will be almost six months
that the tunnel as been closed
