SMALLEST CT PosroFFIcEs

Are Accommodate

Virginia, Cal, boasts 'of having the
smallest postoffice building In the
world. 1t is situated In lonely spot
City, and Is maintained for the con-
venience Of rich ranch owners In the
vicinity. Not more than six or eight
people get mail there, but their let
ters are of sufficient financial impor-
tance for a postoff1ce to be provided
for their use. The postmaster's sal
ary does not keep him in cigarettes,
but he only has to be on duty on the
days when the stage coach is due to
pass. The stage driver drops the mail,
the few letters from Virginia are
handed up and the postmaster pro-
ceeds to distribute the letters, post
cards and newspapers In lock boxes
hung on the outside Of the postofice
After the scanty mail is distributed
the postmaster locks up the little Of
nee and. goes away.
When a citizen OF Virginia mails q
letter he does not buy a stamp, but
deposits letter and money through the
letter drop in the door. II the letter
is heavy one and likely to require
more than one stamp he drops q
quarter OF half dollar In with It and
finds his change In HIS letter box next
mail day. AS the postmaster knows
the handwriting Of ever man, woman
and child In the postal district he
never puts the change In the wrong
box. About once q year. generally
near the holidays, a, registered letter

commodating postmaster delivers It

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-Gov. Dona- ghey has announced the appointment of T. w. M. Boone, prim nent at- torney of Fort Smith, -ls member of the State Capitol Commission, to succeed R. F. Foster, of Cleveland county, who has removed to Florida fcr the benefit of his health.

 Contrary to the expectations of some of the personnel of the Com mission will not be changed by the new administration, except that Gov. Robinson will succeed Gov. Donaghey as ex-offic o cha 1"man. Judge John Ike Moore of Helena, member of the Commission, will not be disqW4li- fled by reason of the fact that he will become member Of the State Senate in January.

secure a lower rate.
 Under the present condition it .s claimed that first-class mail is pay ing a surplus to the government of nearly $70,000,GO0 a year. Although it requires two cents to mail letter anywhere in the Un ted States, it is estimated that it actually costs the government about one cent to carry it. At the present time the depart ment receives on letter mail an aver age revenue of 84 cents per pound, equal to $1,680 per ton. Although this first-class mail supplies less than 1S of the total tonnage of the mails, yet t pays D per cent of the total reye- nue. This is the chief reason why the advocates of one cent postage as- sert the present rate should be cut in two.
 It is claimed by the advocates for one cent pastage, that business men would have their postage accounts cut exactly in half were the new rate inaugurated. At the present time all enormous defic is caused in second class mail-the periodical literature through the carrying to extreme ex- treme points throughout the country, of heavy magazine mail. Periodicals are carried throughout the breadth of the land for one cent per pound, or $20 a ton as compared to $1,6S0 per ton, wh cll business men pay on their letters.
 Before the fU. s. Supreme Court about December 1, Solicitor General Bullitt upheld the right of the, sav- eminent to stipulate the conditions under which mail shall be carried.
 Ut is a fact" declared Sol citcf' General Bullitt, "that every man, vo- man and child who mails a letter is' being unjustly taxed. The govern ment overcharges people who mail letters about $70,Oo0,OoO per year.
 Many other government officials claim that there should, be a radical change made in ,he present rates charged on var ous classes of mail matter. The large proportion of sec ond-class mail matter carried throughout the country is said to be weekly and monthly magazine matter full of advertising pages, on which publishers are making vast profits.
 The Nat 'onal One Cent Letter Post age Association is distributing mill lions of stamps throughout the Unit ed States for use on correspondence of business houses, urging tae lower rate.

ONE CENT POSTAGE

That the adopt on of one cent let let postage rate will mean large increase in the amount of lettsr mail carried by the government is the belief of prominent business men who have made a study of American postal problems.
 It is thought iby many experts i'll postal matters that the creat on of one cent letter rate by congress at it's coming session would mean so much additional business that the ex.ra revenue derived would easily care for the expenses of the depa!t- ment under the lower rate.
 One of the strongest believers in the one cent letter propaganda is John Wanamaker, former postmaster general and noted merchant whose mammoth stores in Ph ladelphia and New York are known to millions Of Americans who have visited them. MT. Wan-maker is of the belief that a cne cent letter postage rate should be inaugurated at once.

 '.I am a firm believer in one cent letter, hostage" declares Mir. Wana- maker, "and tn nix the government would have larger revenue from 1t after the first two years than 1t has at present from two cent passage, when people had time to realize the facilities afforded for communication with each other
 John Wanamaker is probably one of the best verssd men America on postal problems.

JAPAN ID ENTER
 AMERICAN TRADE Completion of the Panama Canal Will Bring Freight Service to New York. PLA MING TT NOW Will Send Freighters Through the Isthmus-Shipping Houses
 Will Suffer.
PLANNING IT NOW

New York, Dec. 13.-With the opening of the Panama canal three big steamships of Japan-The TOyo Risen Kas Iha, the Nippon Yusen Kaishla and the Osaka Kaisaa-will establish joint direct steamship service from Yokohama, Nagasaki, to New York, via the Isthmus.
 Although the de.ails of tn s new service have not yet been forwarded to Y. Numano, consul general for Japan in this city, he today confirm ed the report that Japan had decided to take full and immediate advantage of the tremendous possibilities for trade that the new seat route will afford, butt stated that it is still co early to say how many ships will be operated.
 ''rhe Japanese government directly E sup ervises the 'sctlv ties of it ship ping" he said, "and the formation of direct service and freight steamers to New York. has long been urged by the Japanese press. There is no doubt that within a, few years there will be more Japanese seamen com
 ng, to; New York and; to ports on the North and South Atlantjc seabcard than are at. present running 'ssto the Pacific coast.'' 'ss !. /
 The establishment of such a ser vice will mean loss to American railroads of 'st least a half a million tons of freight annually.
 !. A representative of one of the larg- est Orient freight awarding com- p's1lies said today that the Far East shipping combine, formed of six American sh pping houses, operating English and German bottoms, would suffer by the competition of the Jap anese steamers as much as the rail- roads would. i

New York, Sept. 2S.-John Ar
buckle, who died last March, left an
estate of $29,613,344.66, according to
the report made public on Thursday
by Transfer Tax Appraiser Monahan
Of Kings county. The highest estimate
that had been put upon the old-fash-
icned merchants estate was $20,000,-
000 He had never organized the
great concern of Arbuckle Bros. into
a corporation. 1t was merely a CO.
partnership, AS his share represented
only one-third of the firms assets 1t is
shown that the company today holds
nearly $100,000,000 Of property.
His two sisters, Christina Arbuckle
of Brooklyn and Mrs. Catherine A.
Jamison of Pittsburg, are his only
surviving heirs. Each will inherit
$14,806,672.33, which, added to their
private fortunes, puts them in the
class OF Americas wealthiest wom-
en-.
The Arbuckle estate is the largest
ever administered without will in
Kings county. The inheritance tax,
which will go into the state treasury,
Is $1,15S,433.7S The cost Of appraisal

EXILE FOR REBEL CHIEF
GEN. MENA OF NICARAGUA GIVES
UP TO AMERICAN ADMIRAL.
Surrender of Leader Is Believed to
Mean End of Revolution-City
Face a Famine.

Washington, Sept. 27.-General
Mena, leader Of the Nicaraguan revo-
lutionists, is to be sent to Panama
under guard Of American sailors and
marines. American Minister Weitzel
reported to the state department that
Rear Admiral Switzerland had ac-
cepted the surrender of Mena and 700
followers at midnight, September "a.
His capture is taken to indicate the
collapse Of the revolution and his re-
1uoval to Panama probably means exile
Officials here believe General Mena
requested that he be permitted to sur
render to Admiral Switzerland be-
cause of fear Of summary action at
the hands of the Nicaragua federals
and the admiral doubtless thought it
advisable to get the rebel leader out
Of the country as soon as possible.
Grania is completely under control
of United States forces.
Bluefields, Nicaragua, Sept. 17.-Of-
fetal confirmation was received here
of the surrender Of General Mena.
This news is generally accepted as
meaning the termination of the revo-
luton.
