FAMILY STARTS ON A LONG HIKE

SPOKANE, Wash.-Carrying their
baggage, camp out fit and provisions
in a wheelbarrow of light tonnage,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Tubbs and their
sons, aged i and years, have start
ed on a 1900 mile walk from Sand
point, Idaho, to st. Paul, MINI. The
wheelbarrow is the most novel feat
ure of the trip. A bicycle wheel on
a light iron frame is surmounted by
barrel containing all impediments.
The route being followed by the fam
lily of mixers lies along the Great
Northern railroad. The only stop OF
any length will be Glacier national
park in Montana. No hotels, no res
taurants and no tips are. the orders
laid down by the Tubbs family, who
will pitch their camp by the roadside
when evening or fatigue overtakes
them. They expect to arrive in st..
Paul about October1 Mr.. Tubbs who
is barber, says the trip is for his
health, but as he weighs about 200
pounds, it is thought his idea mainly
is to reduce weight.

REDUCTION IN PARCEL POST
Weight Limit on Packages Placed at
Twenty Pounds After the 18th.
Reductions Made in Rates.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-To fur
Their popularize the parcel post system
with the public, Postmaster General
Burleson ANNOUNCED today that after
August 18th the weight limit on pack
ages would be placed at 20 pounds Git
is now II pounds) and that a sharp
reduction of price for transportation
will be made. He announced also
that on the same date the banking
by mail" feature would be introduced
in the postal savings system.
The reduction in charges on matter
for local delivery is from the present
rate of cents for the first pound and
1 cent for each additional pound to
5 cents for the first pound and cent
for each additional pounds or frac-
ton thereof. For delivery in the first
zone the rate will be reduced from 5
cents for the first and cents for
each additional pound to cents and
1 cent For the second zone the rate
will be cut from 6 cents and 4 cents
to cents and cent.

mission to become effective on or be-
for October Is Notable reforms in
practices also were ordered. The
most important change is modifica-
tion OF the present graduated scale of
parcel rates. One hundred pound
rates for short distances either have
been left unchanged or slightly re-
duced. For packages of more than
four pounds going over 200 and less
than 1000 miles the new express
rates are generally lower than parcel
post rates; for more than 5000 miles
the rates are practically the same.
The order is virtual affirmation of
the findings of former Commissioner
Lane, now secretary of the interior.
By prescribing the so-called L!Ock
system, dividing the United States
into $50 blocks, 900, 100000 different
rates now published by expess COM
panies will be reduced to less than
$50, 700. The commission believes the
system points way to solution of
the existing problem of freight rates.
Express companies filed statements
indicating that their loss of revenue
under the proposed rates would be
intolerable and argued strenuously
that establishment of the parcel post
had deprived them of thirty per cent
ceived from parcels of II pounds or
less. The new system is not only a
simpliflcation of existing rate meth
DDS but in the opinion of rate experts
lays the foundation for future prac-
tice in all rate revisions. -.

THANKS BRYAN FOR HIS ADVICE
Young East Indian Completes His Ed
ucatiOn i'm the United States as
Result of Speech by Bryan.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Gaganat
Khanna, an Est Indian, called on Sec
rotary Bryan today to express his
thanks for the secretary's part in d.
recting his life work. K hanna has
just been gradus led as an electrical
engineer. He is returning to India
to practice his profession, for which
he believes there is a wide field in his
comparatively undeveloped country.
Khanna was impelled to come here
after he had listened to an address by
Mr.. Bryan six years ago when the lat
ter was making a tour of the world.
Mr.. Bryan spoke to the students of a
mission school at Allahsbad, and in
the course of his short talk urged the
students to complete their education
in American technical schools. Half a
doze nof them followed Mr.. Bryan 8
advice, among them Khanna.
Mr.. Bryan's visitor told him he did
not expect to obtain employment in
the Indian civil service, because of
the. prejudice which, he said, was
entertained Against natives educated
in the United States. This predjudice
he said, was based on the suspicion
that such education was too liberal
and threatened the stability of the
empire. He expressed the opinion,
however, that he would lave no diff
ficulty in establishing himself in pri-
vate practice in his own country.

HALF RIGHT AT THAT.

American Falls Press: At ban
quet given at Standpoint the other
night, John D. Robertson, one of
the state tax commissioners, took
occasion to say: II have been asked
repeatedly if the tax commissions
work would effect a reduction in tax
alton. l can tell you that it won't.
1t can only equalize taxation. The
matter of reducing taxation is up to
the citizens of the old state. 1t can
not be reduced while we are spending
spending, spending"
Robertson knows what he Is clat-
tering about. He spent the last four
years in working out tax problems
The more or less wise legislature
of the Twelfth session, which Col.
Ferguson referred to as about eigh-
ty per cent foolish, passed the Ryan
public utilities act. Ryan was a fad
dist.
The tax commission is part Of that
act.
The members of the commission
see the hand writingon the wall, when
they refer to the ceaseless "spend-
ing, spending, spending"
That utility commission will cost
Idaho more than 100000.
1t has already, handicapped many
departments of state.
And now the tax commission don't
see the way out. Nor does any other
individual.
Taxpayers are paying for all these
fussy notions and fancy fixtures, and
may have to pay higher in the future
Robertson was candid enough to
give us a good cue, and we are dis
posed to take his opinion, as he
plays hard feet against theory.

feels the heat on very warm day
quite as much as if he could read

He would say,-"Give me a little

to keep well don't give me any grain
when you bring me warm into the
stable, just half dozen swallaws of
water, and some hay to eat until I

Don't water me too soon after l
have eaten my grain, wait an hour.
Especially do l need watering be-
tween nine and ten at night. I am
thirstier then than at almost any
other time of day."
He would say,-"When the sun is
hot and I am working let me breathe

house or tree; if you have to leave
me on the street leave me in the

"If on an extremely warm day I

the heat, unharness me, take me into
the shade and apply cold water or
even broken ice, wrapped up in a
cloth or put in bag, to my head,

He would talk of slippery streets,
and the sensation of falling on cruel
city coblestones-the pressure Of the
load pushing him to the fall, the
bruised knees and wrenched joints,
and the feel of the drivers lash.
He would tell of the luxury of
fly net when at work and of a fly
blanket when standing still in fly sea-
son, and of the boon to him of screens
in the stables to keep out the insects
that bite and sting.
He would plead for as cool and
comfortable a stable as possible in
which to rest at night after days
work under the hot sun.
He would suggest that living thru
warm night in morrow stall Meth.
err propely cleaned no bedded is suf-
fering for him and poor economy for
the owner.
He would say that turning the hose
on him is altogether too risky thing
to do unless you are looking for a
sick horse. Spraying the legs and
feet when he is not too warm on
hot day, he would find agreeable.
He would say,-"Please sponge out

come in tired and dusty at night, and
also sponge me with clean cool water
under the collar and saddle of the
harness."
