Letters Without Stamps are Now
Delivered

Under instructions from the post
master general, postmasters are per-
mitted to forward letters or postcards,
which have been mailed without
stamps, to their destination but double
the amount of the postage is collected
upon delivery. The same rule applies,
in way, to all classes of mail matter,
including the parcel post; excepting
that the classes of mail, other than let
tiers and post cards, must have some
part of the postage prepaid. This rule
will not permit general mailing Of
letters without stamps, without the in
tent Of avoiding prepayment, but will
take care OF mail matter which has
been unintenionally mailed without
prepayment.
Attention Of patrons, living on R.
F. D. routes, is called to the necessity
Of having their mail addressed to their
names and address, and not to the
box and route number only. Such
mail matter is not delivered but must
be sent to the dead letter Office.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
Exhibits of Sea Food Products to be
important Feature of Wasfington's
Exhibit at San Francisco

The Commercial Clubs and Cham
bers of Commerce in every city and
town OF the State of Washington have
been asked to urge the people of their
respective communities not to sign
the petitions for submitting to the vo-
tiers next November the seven initia-
tive measures, which includes the
drastic eight-hour law and the increase
in the state tax on salmon. 1t is
pointed out that these seven measures
are all class legislation and that if en-
acted into laws will effect every resi-
dent of the state. The eight-hour
law will, it is alleged, strike blow at
every small newspaper, the corner
grocer, the country merchant. the
small druggist and even the housewife
with one servant. The bill declaring
for eight hours is so drastic as to make
it impossible for the small as well as
the large employer of labor to do busi-
ness. If the grocer boy works over
eight hours his employer will be sub
ject to arrest; the same is true if the
man who delivers your milk is called
upon to work over time. In many OF
the small newspaper Offices through
out the state, where the matter OF
expense has to be seriously considered,
the proprietor who works any OF his
men over eight hours will be guilty un-
der the law. The bill for the increase
in the tax on salmon will, it is alleged,
put the fish business OF the state in a
position where it cannot hope to com
pete with the salmon industry Of Ore
gon and Alaska. The increase pro-
posed will eat up every cents worth OF
profit and the salmon people will be
compelled to retire from business.
Voters are urged not to sign the petit
tons for submitting these measures to
vote-at least until they have had
an opportunity to thoroughly study the
measures and realize the effect they
will have on the community.
Comprehensive exhibits OF the fish
cries and sea food products Of Wash
ington and methods and apparatus EN-
ployed in fisheries operation and propa
CATION will form an important feature
Of Washingtons' participation in the
great 1915 expositions at San Francisco
and San Diego. The Washington State
Exposition Commission is now max
ing plan to this effect. L. H. Darwin,
state fish commissioner, has been APP
pointed fisheries commissioner by the
exposition committee and will have
general supervision Of the exhibit. He
will also have charge Of the game and
fish exhibits. The practical or COM
mercial features oil our state fisheries
will be kept in the foreground in pre-
pairing the states fisheries display, the
primary object OF which will be the ex-
tension OF the world market for Wash
ington sea products.

While petitions are going around
for the initiative law which is in
tended to bring the State of Washing
ton under statewide prohibition, there
is interest in the results of the initia-
tive election held last Tuesday in Oak
land, California. The Hart initiative
liquor ordinance, as it was called, car
RED by a popular majority Of about s.
900 votes, in total vote of $4,000,
the largest ever polled in Oakland.
The Hart ordinance permits the estab-
lishment in Oakland of 1913 saloons
and fixes the annual license at $500.
The adoption of this ordinance by pop
ular vote carried with it the defeat of
the ordinance proposed by the city
council fixing a limit of 200 saloons
with an annual license of 81, 900 each.
The result is generally regarded in
California as decisive victory for the
vets.

The farmers round about Fonda.

jobs as soon as they arrived. A part
of the courthouse was set aside to ac-
commodate the influx of farmers and

made all the other arrangements for
the bringing together of the men who
want work and the men who went

Two or three of those who started
are married men, and they were per.

get work on the farm as house work

"I have every reason to believe that

lies along the trail from Lake McDon-

is about a mile long and half mile
wide. Lying more than a mile above
sea level, the forests and cliffs which
surround it are reflected from its sur.
