VA, DELEGATION
4 ~ NHN - - 4
HAD ONE BIG TIME

Reports from Peoria indicate that
the members of the Virginia delega~
ton had one of the times or their life.
While there are few among them who
drink anything stronger than limeade
or Chocolate iee-cream soda, thay
were invited to the Peoria distilleries,
some Of the largest In the country.
They were guests Of the Peoria Coun-
try club. one OF the most famous In
the United States. and had many So
cial attentions paid them.
The delegation had little time TO
devote 10 social functions, however.
for they were there for the purpose
of bringing the next convention to
Richmond, and they devoted much OF
their time to the work of eorralllng
delegates with Yotas.

the corps of engineers OF [. S. A, TO
hear the application OF the Richmond,
Chesapeake and Washington Railway
company for permission to construct

hammock river at this point. The meet
ing was well attended and very har-
monious, there being practically no
objections raised The railway COM
pany was represented by James NJ
Lewis. who spoke at some length in
behalf of the project, and was fol-
lowed bya brief cooperative speech
from Circuit Judge 7. K. b. Wright,
and by r. c. DeShields, owner and
operator of the Tappahannock ferry,
w. D. Scott. representing the NJ. y.
& Virginia Railway company In the
interest of navigation, said that he
was not here TO lnterpose any ob1ec-
ton to the construction of the rail
road bridge, but that on the other
hand mis- company @ss ready 10 CD
operate With the promoters OF the
railroad, and would welcome any step
towards the further development of
this great section OF the country. Mr..
Scott went over the plans with Chief
Engineer F. A. Canneil, and approved
OF them with the exception of the
length Of draws, which was desig-
mated at eighty feet; the steamer
Middlesex OF the NJ. d. & v. being
sixty-six feet across the beam. he
claimed that there was not room
enough for safe navigation and would
endanger injury Of the steamer and
bridge as well. Mr.. Lewis said that
while material cost would be added
for the extension OF every foot In the
length OF the bridge, chat of course the
company would agree to abide by any
reasonable change as TO specifications.
The meeting then adjourned, Colonel
Langfitt having given assurance that
the proposed scheme would have fav-
orable consideration at the hands OF
the government.

The Sample Case" the organ Of
the [. G. T., has the following TO say
about parcel puats:
The postmaster-general has used as
argument situation to which he has
contributed to say that our domestic
rate must be brought down to equal
international rates, made not by con-
gress but by the postofiice depart
ment The average length of haul
for each pound of merchandise under
domestic rates Il 687 miles. The
average length OF haul for each pound
under the international conventions
is less than 200 miles. Under
the international rate, fraction Of
IA pound is charged as much as a
pound. The annual report of the
postmaster general for 1909, page
8 s 5, stated ''Uf the parcels received
from Germany more than 3 per cont
are delivered in the cities of New
York. Brooklyn Jersey City, Hobo
ken. Boston. Philadelphia, baltimore
and Washington and more than ! 2

 In the old Congressional district, comprising AZ towns, the Democratic plurality given Reilly two years ago was 3,014..
 This city two years ago gave Tflson a plurality of 300. Reilly's plurality was 1,020, a reversaI of 1,32O votes.
