EXTENSION Of PARCEL POST.

Plans for the extension and improve
ment Of the parcel post and reduction
in rates were announced on Saturday by
Postmaster General Burleson. The
changes will become effective Aug. 15
and includes an increase in the maximum
weight of parcels from eleven to twenty
pounds, and material rate reduction i.
the first and second zones. The parcel
post map will be abandoned as Z means
Of computing rates, and IN place of il
will be rate chart, lndividualized for
each post-ofice. The Postmaster Gen.
eral stated that it is his belief that even.
tually the postal service will handle prac.
tically all Of the small package transpor.
tation in the United States. The maxi.
mum weight limit he believes will be in
creased to 100 pounds, and even lower
rates than are now charged may be pos
sible. Statistics show that about one
third Of the total number Of packages,
rallied, are handled within the firet and
second zones, and it Il in these zones
that tho changes in rates arc to be made.
Tho rate on parcels, weighing more than
four ounces. will be reduced in the first
zone from five cents for the first pound
and one cent for each additional pound
or fraction thereof to five cents for the
first pound and ono cent for each addi.
tional two pounds, aud in the second
zone the rate will be five cents for the
frat pound and one cent for each adj.
tional pound or fraction thereof. There
will Be no change in the SIZE or form Of
tho package.

THE FAIR.

The annual Pembina county fair is
passed and q matter of history. From
every point of view it was probably the
most successful fair ever held. The
weather was ideal and the roads good.
It was claimed that between four and
five thousand passed the gates the Sec
ond day. To one who has witnessed
most of the fairs since the organization
was started twenty years ago We can see
. wonderful change in the interest taken.
The stock exhibit % we'll as other mis-
oellaneous attractions were good and
everybody seemed to enjoy themselves.
Governor Hanna. the speaker Of the
day was met at the train by the band
and IN appointed escort and marched to
the fair grounds where luncheon was
served. after which the program was
reeled of as printed.
The governors address covered many
points of interest in the agricultural
line and he strongly advocated mixed
farming among other things. and show.
ed where different localities in the state
has made wonderful progress in late
years by changing their mode of farm.

ably one half Of the remainder, judging
from the extent Of land involved. That
is to say, that the railway company and
the uon-residents pay more than one
half of all the taxes raised for township
purposes.
Ever since the township was organix-
ed about thirty years or more ago. the
annual township taxes for road purposes
up to few years ago. was about $4,000
. year. We have no figures st hand for
very recent years but presumably the
amount has not varied to any great ex.
tent. The former figures were taken
from the books Of tho county auditor.
This means that Toilette, according to
the taxlists, has paid out something like
e60, 900 for roads in that township, since
its organization.
On the west side Of the N. P. track
there are approximately 92 miles Of SEQ.
ton lines all Of which should be graded
highways. There sre at present per.
haps as many rs fifteen miles of graded
road, and these mostly short spurs a
mile or two out from the track. Only
one graded road runs clear across the
township east and west in the whole
twelve milds.
On the east side of the track every
section line and some quarter lines are
graded and ditched, with the emphasis
on the ditch,) except down by the river
where the residents prefer to farm the
land rather than to open it to highways,
as the roads are not needed there. As
near as we can count ON the map there
is now on the east side Of the N. p.
track about IS or 40 miles Of graded
highway.
To sum up these figures, it would ap.
pear that in this township Of Toilette,
three quarters of the highway is stu
ated within one-third Of the whole area
and that one half of the cost Of these
roads has been paid oy the Northern
Pacific railway and by, nonresident
owners and the latter have practically
no roads at all on or near their property.
Further, that the fifty or sixty miles
Of road in this township have already
cost moro than $1,000 /. mile to build
and keep in repair when as . matter
