PARCEL POST WEIGHT
LIMIT TO BE RAISED
TO 20 POUNDS AUG. Is
Postmaster General Announces 100
Pounds May Be Sent Through
Mail in Not Far Future.

Washington D. c., July 19.-Plans
for the extension, improvement anc
reduction in rates of the parcel post
were announced today by Postmaster
General Burleson.
The changes which are to become
effective on August 16, include an in
crease from eleven pounds to TWEEN.
ty pounds in the maximum weight OF
parcels; a material reduction in the
postage rates in the first and second
zones, and the abandonment of the
parcelpost map as means of COM
putting rates and the substitution for
it of rate chart individualized to
every post office in the United States.
The plans contemplate the pur-
chase of a large number of automo-
biles, to be used exclusively for the
delivery of parcel post matter.
While, for the present, the maxi
mum weight limit Of twenty pounds
and the reduction in rates will apply
only to the first and second zones
from any given post office-a distance
of about $50 miles-the changes di-
rected today constitute the first long
step toward universal extension of
the system and general reduction in
the rates of postage on parcel matter.
TT is my expectation and belief, y
said Postmaster General Burleson,
Observation-Disclosures it may be fifteen
or twenty years-the postal service
will handle practically all of the small
package transportation business in
the United States. The maximum
weight limit, extended now from
eleven to twenty pounds, l expect to
see increased to 100 pounds, and ex-
perience may demonstrate the prac-
ticability of handling the parcel bust
ness at even lower rates than we now
propose.

GAME WARDEN USED
SOME DYNAMITE
Destroyed Fish Trap and Dam
on Grand River West
of Clinton.

Deputy State Game Warden Har-
per, with his assistant, X. E. Gard
ner, and local officers including
Sheriff Pepper, Deputy Fisher and
Constable Duggins made trip out
to William Kidwilder's place on Grand
river, west of town, Thursday after
noon for the purpose of dynamiting
dam and fish trap which Kidwilder
has constructed and which recently
led to his arrest for violating the
state game laws, says the Clinton
Democrat.
1t was the second time Warden
Harper had worked on the Kidwilder
dam and he determined to make its
destruction so thorough this time that
there would be no resurrecting it.
Accordingly he used fifteen charges
of the explosive and is confident that
it cannot be rebuilt without doing the
whole work over again.
The officials went from there to
Cooks mill, so called, mile and a
half down stream, and found here
stone dam with fish trap. This
they also destroyed, using as much
of their explosive as they did at Kid
wilder's or about 100 pounds of dy-
Mantle altogether. The game war
den is satisfied that he has put these
dams out of business for all time,
but will nevertheless keep an eye on
the situation here.

One hundred herd of cattle to each
eighty-acre farm is the talk Of the
arm. chair farmer, and as far as cheap
talk goes it sounds all right, but it is
safe bet that those who waste their
time in this kind of talk never put in
many years in actual humping" on
the farm.
The hum of the old horsepower
threshing machine is thing of the
past and l, for one, am glad Of it.
The foot of the steam thresher is &
step in advance.
A spring washer keeps nuts from
turning off on Earring machinery, but
where the jar is continuous a cotter
pin is surest. Makers of farm ma
chinery can profit from the study of
automobile construction in this re-
spect.
The power baler has about driven
the horse-propelled baler out of bust
ness in these parts. The power
baler does better work, the run is
steadier and continuous and faster
baling is done. However, for small
er jobs the self-feed horse balers fit
the work nicely.
Advocates of hard pine tongues for
farm machinery would have had a
hard time convincing me that pine is
better than good oak, the other day.
A tongue snapped in two almost at a
touch, and, of course, it took me two
hours to patch up with another old
tongue and get back to work again.
Every rain now saves the corn
crop.
No doubt rs per cent of farm ma
chinery bought still stands out in the
weather the year around. Paint
soon fades and flakes iron, then the
exposed iron turns red with rust. l
often wonder why makers of farm
machinery do not use galvanizing on
their tools instead of paint.
1t doesn't pay to let pigs get stunt
ed if it can possibly be helped. It
takes more to bring out" a stunted
pig than is required to keep him
from becoming stunted.

MINING MAN BACK HOME

G Y De Lay, Elko County's en-
ergetic and successful mine opera
tor is back in Carlin after a brief
business trip to San Francisco. Mr.
De Lay has just made the final
payment on the Rip Van Wrinkle
mine at Lone Mountain. This min
ing property, like its noted name
sake, has been sleeping for many
years and it took the energy, intel
ligence and ability of Mr. De Lay to
arouse it from a comatose condition
and make it one of the coming pro.
ducers of this county. Rip Van Win
kle under the capable management
Of De Lay has been a steady shipper
for several months. While down on
the coast he purchased hosting
machinery and necessary accessor-
les to sink on the ore body about
500 feet. He proposes to cross cut
at each 100 # level and when the
ore is blocked out expects to ship
one to three cars of high grade ore
each week.
De Lay, the elder has no monop-
oily in the mining game in his own
family. His son Beverly De Lay
18 years of age is probably the
youngest active successful mine
operator in the west. He is opera
ting placer claim on Lynn Creek
on what is the original mine at
Lynn from which the now Famous
Lynn District was named. He has
constructed a dam sixteen feet
across the ravine and has stored
water enough to sluice many thous-
and cubic yards of rich placer dirt.
AS this ground runs from one to
fifty dollars per yard it is easy to
figure that young De Lay is MAX
ing money fast. He is now taking
out the yellow metal at the rate of
several hundred dollars per day.
He is the envy of all the young
fellows of Carlin, but what's the
use Of being envious. 1t took De
Lay to grasp the opportunity which
has lain dormant so long.

Fine S. P. Publication

The Independent is in receipt OF
the August number of Abroad" q
monthly publication issued by the
Southern Pacific and printed in
Liverpool. This little magazine is
devoted to boosting the west and
the August number tells about Ne
Vada-her people, her land, her op-
portunities and her wealth. It is a
fine portrayal Of conditions as
they exit and sets before the world
the worth of this promised land.
The "Abroad" also paws this tri.
butte to the people Of Nevada:
THE tourist who seeks for types
such as "Alkali Ike" in preseat-day
Nevada may find such in remote
places as well as other opportuni-
ties for frontier diversion. 1t is a
big State, with population that
is essentially COSMOPOLITAN and hu-
man nature is here found in all it's
characteristics from the highest
point to the lowest. But social
lines are drawn as clearly in Neva-
da as elsewhere. One may find
about any kind of society he seeks
and the choice is not forced upon
him. He will find the substantial
majority Of the people wholesome,
temperate, hoSpitable, generous
and self reliant. A people, in the
main accustomed to the comforts
and many Of the luxuries who trav-
ell much and are we'll informed.
Their home and social life is as re-
fined and the conventions of good
breeding observed as habitually as
anywhere else"
