PARCEL POST


Sioux City, March 4.~-Schedules on

denied amount of parcel post mail.
Train No. 3, due at A o'clock, arrived
at 6:35 O'Clock, carrying fifty tons of
mail for South Dakota points. The
w~estbound train, which generally de-
parts ut 6:45 o'clock was held until
9:15 O'Clock while transfer men reload

mail ever hauled by the Milwaukee load
from Chicago and eastern points for dis

The Milwaukee received the mail
from the Northwestern road at AIion,

hours and ten minutes to make the
transfer, making the train late in ar
irving in Sioux City. Two baggage
cars and a mail car were used to carry
the mail. The mail had to be put into
other cars here, which took up more
than two hours.

GIVES POLICY OF
POWER COMPANY.
Is In Wholesale, Not Retail, Business
In Current CO. Il Plans 10 New
Lines-Will Welcome In
coming Lines. But Ad-
viSeS Caution.
Special to The Democrat.

Keokuk, Ia, Feb. 5.-The an
nouncement was made today that
the policy of the Mississippi River
Power company is to sell its prod
uct from its giant generators and
mammoth power house to large
distributing points in wholesale
way, and that it is not in retail
business. Also that while it will
welcome incoming transmission
lines built by others as a part of
genuine lelectric propositions, it has
no plans at present for building any
new transmission lines in addition
to the big lines nearly finished from
the dam to Burlington on the north
and to Saint Louis on the south.
1t is said that this announcement
is caused, at least in part, by the
fact that for several months its
mail has been swamped with en-
quiries, from small towns about
many rumors flying around without
any foundation in fact involving the
building of new lines by the Missis-
sippi River Power company. 1t
seems that new story in that vein
is started on its travels almost
every week in some locality or
other.
Caution Required in Lines.
Other parties, north and south
of our Keokuk dam, doubtless will
project transmission lines which
will pay" the company manager
said 10 reporter today, but very
considerable caution should be used
in advance of such investment, in
calculating carefully the expenses
of building and maintaining such a

Rufus J. Hayden Taken to Fulton.

On January 31st, 1912, Rufus j.
Hayden after an inquiry in the Pro-
bate Court. was by jur y pronounced
insane, after which he was by the
Probate Judge committed to the
Asylum at Nevada, Missouri. After
remaining there for a short time he
escaped and made his way back
home. His wife and brothers then
took him to a private sanitarium at
st. Louis with hope that by proper
treatment he would be restored to
health and his right mind. After re-
naming there about three weeks,
he again escaped and came home.
Since that time his wife, through
the advice of the Probate Judge,
has made every effort possible to
keep him at home, but his mind
gradually grew worse, and on last
Saturday, Judge Barnes was COM
PEELED to have him sent to the Asy-
lum at Fulton, Mo-, where he was
taken by Sheriff Lewis. This is a
very sad case, and it is to be hoped
he will yet reco ver.-Paris Appeal.

Foss on Government Ownership.

Governor FoSs, of Massachusetts
in his inaugural address, talked
about government ownership of
railroads, and talked well. Here
are a few of the things he said:
The railroads of the United
States today are in q sense not pri-
marily engaged in public service SO
much as in private financial opera
tions.
IF the government owned the
roads, at whatever price required
the interest rate would be cut in
half.
The cost of all future infistion
would be saved to the public. The
incentive, moreover, to giving re-
bates, discrimination and other
practices, which regulation does not
seem to be able to eliminate, would
at once disappear.
Without control of the railway
system. the trust system can not
long survive. Railway ownership is

line as compared with the assured
income Whether a transmission
line will pay a profit to its builders
depends on two thines-its length
and the density of the populations
within its market limits-and these
two things, which mean cost and
income opposing each other, must
be fixed with some exactness before
new transmission line is CONNER
cially justified. This company has
not the least connection with any
line projects or promotions away
from the Mississippi river"
1t was stated that the company
prefers that others retail the cleo
trio current, leaving it to deal only
in wholesale way in current from
its great power house in the Mis-
siSsippi river here; that the Missis-
sippi River Power company will be
pleased to sell electricity to parties
building incoming lines from east
or west to its points of delivery, but
it has no present plans for building
branch lines away from the river
for itself, and all such statements
made to the public are incorrect.
To Equalize the Power Zone.
The announced policy of the
company is to dispose of its power
to large distributing points where
it is desired by wholesale purchas-
erS-as locally here, to Burlington,
Fort Madison, Quincy, Hannibal,
Saint Louis.
And this is to be done, it is stat
ed plainly, under a policy of equal
izing equitably the rates to the diff
ferent cities at varying distances
from the power house, so that all
shall have equal opportunity to
reap the benefits of the great water
power installation here.
That perfect frankness with the
public and all interested would con-
tinue to characterize the power
company was stated incidental to
the other topics mentioned above.
