The POSTAL SERVICE
M.-Postage Stamps.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

There is no end to the dispute about

no one controverts the fact that who
ever did so rendered service TO human

for wherever in all the world civilized
man may so a stamp will carry him

CARED indeed.
IT would be a hugs task to calculate
the proportions OF the postage stamp
business OF the world There are some
grounds however. upon which a reason
able estimate can be made. TO begin
with. the postal service OF the United
States annually handles some seventeen
billion pieces of mail, and this requires
some thirteen billion stamps. The mail
of the civilized world now aggregates
lifty billion pieces year, SO that, fol-
lowing the proportions of stamps TO mail

are others who advertise rare stamps
and send those that are worthless
trick that of course catches no one but
the inexperienced collector. There are
also those who have learned the art OF
counterfeitinS rare stamps, and they nave
to be watched very closely.
Some of the rarest stamps in the stamp
collecting world are the town stamps Of
the Southern Confederacy. though all
countries contribute literally TO the list
of rare stamps. Some years ago New
York letter carrier developed the stamp
collecting craze and whenever he saw a
rare stamp or heard of one he gathered
II in. and would go SO far as to take
letters out of the boxes Of other car
rierS TO ge the stamps off them. At
last he came to be regarded as letter
thief and was arrested and searched. 1t
was found that he had plastered himself
with rare stamps.
While the Post Office Depar tment does
all that ii can to aid those who are
interested in stamp collecting it plays no
favoriteS, giving every collector an equal
chance. 1t will not tolerate its own en-
ployes officials taking advantage of
their positions to obtain rare stamps. A
few years ago a prominent official OF the
department sought so to utilize his posi-
ton He got the stamps and paid face
value for them. pocketjng the profit. 1t
was held that he was taking advantage
of his position and he was removed
from the service, although there was no
allegation that the government had suf-
fered by his transaction.
The Post Office Department is trying to
expedite the mail service by encouraging
big stamp users to utilize precanceled
stamps. and to separate their mail mat
ter from the different railroads before
sending il away from their establish
ments. They can then take ii directly to
the trains instead of passing 1t through
the post Office, and this will save
great deal of clerk hire in the post offices.
the while il will expedite the handling OF
all classes of mail both at the post offices
and in the railway mall cars. The work
of pronunciation will, of course. be
done under the direction Of postal en-
ployes, in order to prevent frauds.

The constant bringing out of new

million dollars worth of stamps. II is
said that there are nearly a half million
stamp collectors in the world and that
third of them acknowledge fealty to the
American flag.
Wide-awake collectors very frequently

TOTAL OF 45,7 ACRES
WITHDRAWN FROM ENTRY
Land in Southern California Be-
lieved to Be Valus BILE for
It's Oil Contents.

| On recommendation of Secretary Lane.
PRESIDENT Wilson has withdrawn from
entry 1910 acres of public land in
southern California believed by experts
| of the geological survey to be valuable
| for its oil contents.
| The reserve thus created includes more
than 100 acres in the Sunset district,
located in the foothills of the San Emig-
dio mountains, forty miles west of Bak-
ersfield, and nearly 1900 acres In the
Belridge Cost Hills district, directly be-
tween two already well-developed oil
fields.
Land Restored to Entry.
Secretary Lane announced yesterday
that President Wilson had restored to
entry 10000 acres of supposed coal lands
in western Montana. Only small part
of the land was found to contain coal,
and that was of a low character.
Secretary Lane has recommended to
President Wilson the restoration to
counties in Washington. These lands
were supposed to contain large coal de-
posits, but it has been found upon eN-
animation by the United States geological
survey that the deposits are insigniti-
cant.
The land is located in Whatcom,
Skagit and Lewis counties, and lies on
the west slope of the cascade and the
plains at the foot of this slope. Applica-
ton to purchase all of the land in Lewis
county has already been made.
