SIX GOOD ROADS BILLS.

The new good roads committee is asking for six new road
bills.
The principal bills are for million state bonds and another
for county bonds.
Six bills too many for the people to consider or digest ana
the outlook for these bills is not flattering
But the agitation will be beneficial and there will be some ed
ucation of the people to some end or other
The good roads agator slow learn that some things can
not be done here in Oregon, for good roads.
The Capital Journal does not pretend know all about good
roads, but 1t knows few things
thas been at the state capital for nearly quarter of CEN
tury, and has seen many things tried.
For fifteen years gentlemen have up to Salem with their
pockets full of good roads legislation.
The Tutte road law sample OF many other-tutle ana
falacous and doomed to failure
There has unwness to do the simpler things and to
do things that inexpensive.
The overenthusastc agator talks of millions OF bonds and
big salaries and state-built roads,
But he has not yet learned put up proposition that he can
get enacted into law.
Next has learned to draft law that will result in any
roads being built
But the continuous agitation will bear kind of fruit in
the long run.
In the meantime Mason and Spence are initiating two

SENATOR
BOURNE IS
THE AUTHOR
HAS A PLAN FOR PARCELS POST
THAT SEEMS TO BE FAIR TO ALL
AND GIVES AMPLE PROTECTION
TO LOCAL MERCHANTS.

Washington, May 6. - Senator
Bourne's parcel post bill, introduced
a few days ago, is designed to give
the people of the United States as low
merchandise rate as the actual cost
of the service will permit and to base
the charge upon the service rendered.
His bill includes what is called a
zone" system, with rates varying ac-
cording to distance. This plan gives
the advantage to the local merchant,
and yet provides much lower rates
for long hauls than the rates now in
force.
For eXample-the present rate on
merchandise is one cent an ounce, or
16 cnts a pound, regardless of dis
tance. This is an absolutely unscien-
tific rate. 1t now costs a resident of
rural route 16 cents a pound to
have merchandise mailed to him from
his local market and the limit is four
pounds, which would cost GA cents.
Under the Bourne bill the rural route
rate Is five cents for the first pound
and once cent for each additional
pound, or Is cents for II pounds,
this weight being the limit.
But the Bourne Bill will not be as
favorable to mail order houses as To-
cal merchants have feared The pro-
posed rate for a distance such as
that from Chicago or Kansas City to
Oregon is 12 cents for the first pound
and 10 cents for each additional
pound or $1.12 for II pounds. The
present charge for II pounds made
up in four-pound packages would be
$1.76, so that there is reduction of
Ga cents and yet the local merchant
has a rate of Is cents as compared
with SLIP charged on the package
from Chicago. This difference of 81
cents because Of the greater distance,
is believed to be ample protection to
the local merchant and fully justified
by the cost to the government.
Senator Bou~S has always assert
ed that retail merchants are not in
jured by mail shipments, but freight
shipments and that mail rates can
never compete with freight rates The
freight charge on merchandise from
Chicago to Oregon is SO or less per
hundred, or 8 cents a pound The
parcel post rate is over II cents a
pound for the same distance Hence
It is claimed by Senator Bourne that
the great bulk of goods ordered by
mail will always be shipped by freight
and that the amount of goods shipped
by mail long distances will not ma
terially injure local merchants.
His bill, however, gives low rates
for short distances, Thus, for the
first zone, with radius of about 81
miles, the rates is 6 cents for the
first pound and cents for each ad
ditional pound or 26 cents for Il
pounds, or about 2 cents pound.
Statistics show that more than hal
the package business comes within {
distance Of 200 miles, for which dis
r tance the Bourne bill provides
I charge Of Z cents for the first poun,
+ and three cents for each additiona
- pound or 81 cents for an 11-pount
/. parcel,
These short distance rates ar
much lower than express rates nov
in force.
Many people ask why II pounds
fixed upon as the limit and the ex
PLANTATION is that the internationa
parcel post limit is FIVE Kilograms, o
: approximately II pounds.

fioated unframed and able to continue
her trip.
Returning to Election the Holly had
hardly come to an anchor when a heavy
northerly gale swept up, and in the
height Of the storm the schooner Eta
dragged her anchor and passed across the
bow of the Holly, carrying away the
steamers --agstaf and doing some other
damage The vessel was fast going
ashore when a line was sent from the
lighthouse steamer to the schooner, and
with it she was held until the gale was
over.

OYSTER FLEET DELAYED.
Arrivals of River Craft Few in Last
Ten Days.

Arrivals of oyster craft at the nth
street wharf market have been few for
the past ten days. and the fact that the
demand was light is the only thing that
prevented a great shortage in the supply
on several different occasions. The fail
ure Of the oyster-carrying fleet to arrive
was due. it is stated, to repeated storms
on the river, which made it difficult for
the dredge boats to take a supply Of
oysters from the beds in the river
In the past day or two the dredgers
have been able to work with some de-
gree of regularity. and the arrival yes
terday Of four vessels with Potomac
stock aboard relieved the market The
tug Camilla is down river after oyster
boats, and she Is expected to reach here
tonight with several in tow. so that If
she arrives there will be an abundant
supply.
The market is ranging from 80 cents
to about so cents per bushel wholesale
Dealers at the wharf look for an abun-
dant supply Of oysters for the Christmas
market unless an unusually heavy freeze
ties up river traffic.
