CONFUSION, owing to the seemingly
complicated system of rates until the
public becomes sufficiently educated
as 70 the usages of the new common
carrier.
instead OF using counties or town.
ships are starting points, it was de.
cided to divide the whole country into
blocks or units, each block to be half a
degree in latitude in north-south ex.
tension and half degree of longitude
east and west. There are $500 of
these units in the country.
How to Find Zones.
An example of how to get the first
zpne is as follows,
Find the center Of the unit in which
your postotfce is located. Draw a
circle OF 80 miles radius around that
circlecenter. Every unit which lies
wholly within that circle or more than
half of which is within that circle ia
included in the first zone from any
postoffice. and the postage rate is S
cents for the first pound and Scents
for each additional pound.
The second zone is determined by
drawing with the same center a circle
of $50 miles radius. Every unit which
lies within it. but OUTSIDE of the first
zone, is the second zone, and the rate
is cents for the first pound and 4
cents for each additional pound.
The method by which the second
zone is determined is used for all 9TH
er zones; their radius and rate of
postage for the first and additional
pounds, respectively as follows: Third
zone, 800 miles, Z cents, cents:
fourth zone, 600 miles, cents, 6
cents; fifth zone, 1000 miles, 8 cents,
Z cents sixth zone, 1,4OO miles, 10
cents, 8 cents; seventh zone, 1900
miles, II cents, 10 cents; eighth zone

sessions, - cents fiat.
The parcel post stamps measure

inasions. In a curved panel across the
top, supported by paneled perpen-
dicular column on each end, appear
the words "United States Parcel Post"

Triangular ornaments occupy both

PROSPECTIVE ACTION ~ MON.
TANA LEGISLATURE WHEN
IT MEETS MONDAY.
10 Senatorial Contest
!. J. Walsh 70 be Named United
States Senator from Montana With.
out pposition-Propossd Enactment
OF Workmen's Compensation Law.

HELENA, Dec. 29.-The thirteenth
session of the Montana legislature
which will meet here January 6. will
have a democratic majority in both
the senate and house. In the former
there will be is democrats, 13 repub.
licans and two progressives. In the
house there will be ~ democrats, 81
republicans and 16 progressives. one
socialist. The seat Of the one social
list, G. H. Connor, Of Lincoln county,
will be contested by a democrat, the
allegation being that he is a resident
OF Canada. Connor is a ranchman,
part of his ranch being in Flathead
county and part in Canada. 1t is
alleged that his dwelling is on the
Canadian side.
The legislature will elect United
States senator in succession to Jos. M.
Dixon, but there will be no contest, as
sufficient members are pledged to rati-
fy the choice of the voters at the re-
cent election, and T. ]. Walsh will be
named without any doubt. In fact it
Is puite possible that no other name
may be presented, as at most all that
q republican could get would be a
portion Of the strength of his own
party, as all of those who were elected
this fall are pledged to abide by the
vote of the people. 1t is understood
that some of the progressives elected
are not so pledged, the holdover re-
publican senators are not pledged, and
the socialist member will undoubtedly
vote for g socialist; but all of them
together could not change the result,
and it is known that some of the re-
publican holdoyer senators intend vot-
ing fer Mr.. Walsh in acqunescence to
the VIII of the people.
The most irportant proposed legis-
latiCn looks TO the enactment of
workmen's compensation law, and to
the creation of a public utilities COM
mission. Next in Importance is legis-
laton having for its object the consoli-
dation Of the higher state educational
institutions. the school of mines, agri-
cultural college, state university and
normal school.
1t is generally conceded that law
will be passed for the submission of
amendment giving wo-
men the ballot, as all parties are
pledged to it. Road laws will have a
good deal of consideration, as will leg
islation having for its object the giving
to cities the privilege of increasing
their limit Of indebtedness for the
purpose of installing electric lighting
and power plants. Effort will be made
for the creation of dairy commits
