Carriers Seek Relief.

San Francisco. Feb. 11.-Complain-
ing that the parcel post business has
imposed such burdens on them that
they are heavy losers on their con-
tracts with the government, repre-
sentatives of the $50 star route mail
carriers in California will meet in this
city to formulate some plan to obtain
relief from their present onerous OBJ
legations.
These mountain stage line owners
who have contracted to carry the
mails on what are known as the star
routes represent that additional bust
ness from the parcel post runs far be-
yond the provision in the act for ad-
ditional compensation over and above
their ORIGINAL contracts. They have al
ready interested Congressman Raker,
and propose to ask him to introduce
a bill in congress for their relief.
According to Attorney Francis
Carr of Redding, who represents a
large number Of star route contrac--
tors throughout the state the parcel
rost is compelling stage lines with
mail contracts made before the act
went into effect to put on freight
teams to haul this class of mail for
far less than the cost of service.

We have economized and collected
for ten years, says DR.. Grenfell in
the February Wide World Magazine,
and have just built and opened at
our central fishing port, st. Johns,
seamen's institute at a cost Of 3O,-
900 pounds, called the King George
V Institute, 1t was opened by the
king himself on Coronation day. A
famous New York orator, leading
Canadian speaker and our chairman
from England all met to give it
good sendoff at the opening in Au-
gust. The king, the Duke of Con-
naught, Mr.. Taft and Mr., Roosevelt
all sent us good wishes. This place
has provision for teaching swimming,
navigation and other sailoring arts.
It has clean, cheap beds, and good
reading room. 1t has a laundry and
clothes repairing rooms for fisher
men coming in from sea, and it is
destined, we think, perhaps more than
any other effort to be a real mes

appropriations for artillery and am
munition.
Preparedness of the United States
! for war was debated in the senate
during consideration of the fortifca-
tions bill to which the senate COM
mittee has added nearly S2,00O,00O
over the house appropriation for
field artillery and ammunition. SEN
ator Bryan said the increases were
made to meet as nearly as possible
the estimate for an army of half a
million men.
"If there are only 10000 men in
the army now, why should we have
an army of half million men 2"
asked Senator Sheppard.
$50 as to be prepared for war;"
replied Senator Bryan. "While we
had only 10000 men operating around
Santiago in the Spanish American
war we had some quarter of the mil
lion men enlisted. With this allowance
of guns Americans would still have
less guns per man than any first class
power. We would have about the
same proportion as Bulgaria and
Servia. We should remember it takes
years to make these guns"
"Think of the great Pacific coast
without enough powder to last thirty
minutes under attack" exclaimed Sen
ator Warren.
Senator Smoot said the lack of am
munition was almost criminal.
Gwen Mexico possesses more mo-
bile guns than we do he said.
Senator Ashurst attacked the pro-
portions as extravagant.
owe are now spending 65 cents out
of every dollar raised by the federal
government for wars past, or which
we think, or pretend to think, are in
the future"
Senator Ashurst retorted there were
patriots for profit only" in the coun-
try who filled the country with alarms
of war because they had armor plate
or powder for sale.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the military committee pleaded for
most efficient army as the best method
of keeping peace.
"I don't think l am out of place
in saying that the situation now con-
fronting this country is a delicate
one" he added.
81 hope we never will have trouble,
but we ought to be prepared for
trouble if it ever comes"

sage of practical Christianity to our
seafarers.
Poverty, a lack of acquaintance
with letters, and credulity in mat
ters physical and psychical do not
impair their claim to either our love
or respect. No people are more So
ber-we had, ourselves, the honor Of
being concerned in the closing of the
last licensed house in the country
and, incidentally, of making the
throwing away of schooners for their
insurance an unremunerative occupa-
ton.
Our people, besides being sober,
are truthful and honest 1t is rare
indeed that Labradorman's word is
not his bond If he does not always
meet his credit debts it is because
of the innate conviction that they
are really not within the pale of or
dinary morals.
For generosity and hospitality of
spirit, for willingness to share with
others such things as he has, they
are nearer the apostolic standard
than any people it has been my for
tune to meet.
We have shared their lives in rain
and shine, in summer and winter, in
prosperity and adversely. And when
compare my experiences with those
among the peoples of other and pre-
sumably more enlightened parts of
the earth, feel quite content to have
devoted no small section OF my stay
on this planet to this country of sim
pie people, simple joys and simple
lives, even. if it always remains la

AMMONS THINKS APRIL is
BEST TIME FOR MEETING

Denver, Feb. 11.--Gov. E. M. Am
mons has received a communication
from Secretary Lane, suggesting that
meeting of governors of western
states and individuals interested in
reclamation projects be held within
the immediate future to discuss in
detail the questions of irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands of the west.
Secretary Lane suggested that the
meeting be held simultaneously with
the western governors conference in
Denver, probably in April.
In accordance with the secretary's
communication, Gov. Ammons sent
out today a statement to western
governors and the general public,
setting forth his idea Of the confer
ence, and suggesting the second week
in April as a suitable date.
Gov. Ammons' Statement in part
follows:
"The governor has replied to Sec
retary Lane, suggesting that the con-
ference be held in Denver at the time
of the western governors conference.
H suggests that the meeting be held
the first or second week in April to
accommodate Gov. j. M. Carey of
Wyoming, who is in Europe. The gen
eral conference of the governors of
the country will be held this yeal
at Madison, Wis, in June. The ex-
ecutive committee has agreed to take
up some western questions at this
meeting, and it is therefore thought
best to have the western governors
conference in advance of the general
meeting. so that the conference sug-
gested by Secretary Lane could be
very properly held at the time OF
the western governors conference
and it's results, if found necessary, be
brought to the attention of the gen.
eral conference"

OVER EIGHT HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS AVAILABLE

Washington, Feb. 11.-Passage by
the senate of the Notifications bill to-
day with items for fortifying the har-
Dor of Los Angeles left undisturbed
settles it that $886,800 will be al
lowed for this work for the next fs-
cal year.
The senate approved the Los Ange-
les items without question.
The considerate treatment of Los
Angeles is due in large measure to
the growing appreciation in congress
of the fact that with the canal opened
that city will be of enormous COM
mercial Importance and that its
strategic Importance, will also be
great.
Representative Stephens expressed
the utmost satisfaction and said the
