PRESENTS EARLY
Postmaster Alfred Wright Suggests
That People Mail Christmas Pres
ents EARLY for Safe Delivery.
GLOOMY CHRISTMAS FOR FORCE
Business Promises to Be Heaviest in
the History of the Postal Service
= 20 Pounds Through Mail.

Postmaster Alfred Wright has asked
the Review to urge that the people Of
Denison and vicinity mail their Christ
mas packages and insure their being
delivered at their destination at the
proper time While the local postOf-
fee force is one of the most efficient
in this locality, the normal Christmas
business taxes their capacity to the
limit and with the parcel post system
In effect this year they will have more
than they can do.
Postoffice employees throughout the
entire country are apt to have a
gloomy Christmas unless the people
generally heed the admonition Send
Your Christmas Parcels Early" Like
wise if this requirement is not COM
piled with it is likely to mar the pleas
ures of Christmas for many individ-
uals because it will be impossible for
all of the packages to be delivered on
time.
The Christmas business this year
promises to be the greatest in the his
tory of the postal service, due to the
widespread popularity of the parcel
post system which was inaugurated
the first of the year. The regulation
allowing parcels up to twenty pounds
in weight to go through the mails will
mean an added burden to the postof-
fee employees.
Postmasters generally over the cOun-
try are scratching their heads and
wondering how they can take care of
all the business. The postofiice reg
ulations permit of admonitions being
written on the packages such as DO
Not Open Until Christmas" and the
like. Because of the ruling it is a
simple matter to send Christmas gifts
early in the knowledge that the in
structions on the package will be
needed.
The local postoffice will make every
effort to deliver the mail matter on
time and people of Denison and vicin-
ity should help the employees by mail
ing their parcels in ample time.

Late last evening Enos Emmitt

While at Nina Mr.. Hadden, who IS
also the American repres sentative and
expert for large London interests,
became greatly interested in the
work being carried on and shipments
made from the properties of George
Compton, the Taft mine and the
Dunlap, and after having made ex-
tensive examinations of the same he
became so enthusia stice over the
prospects presented by the entire
section that he got into cable and
telegraphic communication with his
London clients and quietly took over
the Taft and Dunlap on verw short
option and at price running over
Sl5O,O0O, binding himself and associ-
ates to begin work at once.
The owners of the Blue Light,
along with Mr.. Baker, refused abso-
lutely to entertain any proposition
from Mr. Hadden for their property,
as it was largely the findings he
made on this property that caused
Mr. Hadden to look around and final
ly find the Taft and Dunlap and to
close for it in the interest of his cop
per-hungry London clients.

Congres ssman Roberts has said
something about protection and the
American wage rate The views OF
the COngre ssman on this subject
show how sadly neglected his train
ing in economic science has been.
When first used in the United States,
the argument was that wages were
already so high in this country as
compared with England, that it was
impossible for manufacturers in this
country to pay the American rate and
continue to compete with English
manufacturers.
Later, cause and effect were re-
versed, and it was asserted that the
high wages in this country were due
to protection, from hich it followed
naturally that in order to raise
wages higher, still more protection
would have to be given.
1t is not protection that is the
cause OF high wages in this country.
II is the efficiency OF American labor
and the productivity of favorableness $
of the environment in which the
labor works The reason why Am
erican labor may receive higher
wages and yet have nothing to fear
from the competition OF less highly
paid workmen in Europe is found not
i'll protection. but rather in the SUI
perior skill OF her workmen and the
greater natural resources of the
country. The beliefs entertained by
Mr.. Roberts on this question have
long since been rejected by the leal-
ing educators in economic science in
this country

VIM. NJ Gardiner, Speaker pro tenn.

vinced that United States Senator

his opinion that trip to the federal

one with the respect i'll which the

All that remains now is the court
order authorizing the administrator
to make the sale as per the agree
mcnt of all parties concerned. and an
application for sale an order has
been made, the granting OF which
is cpected to-day or Monday at the
fartherst, and the timber property As
well as the larger interests of the two
Bigot Brothers will be taken over
by the Eastern parties and work will
begin. in keeping with the stipulation
that such must be done inside of
thirty days from the date of the
agreement which was first signed ON
September I'd, and also arrangements
made for the erection OF the reduc
tion plant which must be in opera
tion inside OF eight months.
Great Activity Anticipated
During the net week in all prob
ability there will be much activity in
the vicinity OF the property. and thc
Appeal is able to state from
the same inside and exclusive infor
nation it has always enjoyed upon
this matter, that few realize what j.
about to happen in this section.
There j. every prospect OF there
soon being one OF the largest and
busiest industrial operations in the
western section OF the state right
here at Carson's front door. and al
ready those owning property near
the scene of operation are making
ARRANGEMENT to either move to the
place or have had splendid offers in
quiet way for their property. OHe
county official in particular, to onr
certain knowledge, has had mot
flatterng proposals made to him lor
property OF his near the Bigot
Brothers find. but has persistently
turned them all down.
The additional cash outlay of sew
cnty-five thousand dollars for timber
lands by the Eastern people brings
the Bigot Brothers and French es-
tate transaction up to three hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars.
