EXPRESS RATES IN SOME CASES
BEAT POSTAL

There will be joint meeting OF
the public service commissions of
Washington, Oregon and California
held in Portland February 9, at
which time the schedule of express
rates recently adopted by the North
ern and United States Express COM
panies will be considered. If these
rate recently adopted by the North
sioners it is thought they will go in
to effect about February 15.
The deductions in the express rates
decreases as the weight increases
between the old and new express
rates, but the difference in the ex-
press rates and the parcel post works
to the advantage of the former as
The weight increases. For instance,
the old express rate for one pound to
Chicago was 80 cents, while the now
rate is 20 cents, as against / cents
by parcel post, while the old express
rate on 20 pounds to the same point
was s2.75 and the new rate is s1.88
and parcels post rate on 20 pounds
is $2.01, he parcel post being lower
than the old express rate but higher
than the new rate. The old express
rate to Chicago on so pounds was
8, while the new rate on the
same weight is $40.

CERTIFICATE is DEMAND.
ED BY SCHOOL TEACHER
Miss O'Neil Teaches on Lummi Is
land Without Salary-Refused
Recommendation by Ofic-
ials-Hearing Held
Today

Miss Georgia O'Neil, teacher of
the Whatcom county school at Beach.
Lummi island, has been teaching
since the first day of the school term
in September up to the present time
and has not drawn a cent of pay for
her services. Represented by At
torney Virgil Peringer, Miss O'neil
recently presented her case in a pub
lie hearing at the court house before
Mrs. Josephine Preston, state super
sintendent of schools in an effort to
get a certificate to teach and also her
back salary.
Miss O'Neil taught in the Wash
ington and Bennett schools in Bel
lingham for about two years and was
then dismissed on the recommended
ions of Supt. Cave. She then went
to Lummi to teach. Under the law
Miss O'Neil, in order to get certi-
ficate to teach in any other place,
must have a recommendation as to
her fitness to teach from some per-
son under whom she has taught be-
fore. Such recommendation has
been refused by Supt, Cave and also
by Miss Della L. Keeler, county sup
erintendent.
In the last teachers examination
here for second grade certificates
Miss O'Neil failed to make the re-
quired standing.
Miss O'Neil is now fighting to
force Supt. Cave to declare that she
has been a successful tearher here.
This Mr. Cave refuses to do.
She has been going ahead with her
work on Lummi island without any
compensation, believing that she will
win out in her fight to be recognized
as a successful teacher. In addition
to her work as teacher she has been
doing the janitor work in the school
but has not even been paid for this.
Her warrants have been made out
by the school district but have not
been paid by the county auditor un-
der orders from Miss Keeler.-Bel-
lingham Herald.

LETTER HIDDEN ON PACKET
FOR ELEVEN YEARS
Mail Clerk on Str. Rosalie Discovers
Eight Letters That Failed to
Reach Their Destination.

Faded and yellow with age and
covered with dust. eight letters that
had lain concealed between walls un-
derneath the window in the mail
room of the Str. Rosalie since Feb
ruary 16, 1903 were found on jan
uary 81 last by clerk in the Seattle
and Union Railway post Office. Their
discovery was announced last Satur-
day by the post Office inspectors to
whom they were handed over. All
OF the letters were addressed. to in
dividuals in Port Townsend and after
more than decade, mail, which per-
haps has been the cause of much
speculation and anxious inquiry,
to be delivered by the post office
authorities to as many of those to
whom the letters are addressed as
can be located.
In the past eleven years the Rosal-
ie has made hundreds of trips be-
tween Seattle and points on Puget
Sound. The Rosalie herself is now
regarded as pioneer of Puget
Sound and where she was once
known as a palatial passenger carrier
she is now forced to bow to newer
and finer boats, the products of an
advancing age. But for an almost
miraculous circumstance the Rosalie
might have gone on sail
ing Puget Sound waters until con-
demned and thrown to the dicard
with the secret of eight letters con-
cealed between her walls.
While working in the mail room
of the Rosalie on January 81, clerk
discovered the package of letters. The
find was Immediately made known to
the postal authorities and an investi-
cation has been started to determine
the mysterious circumstances which
have caused the letters to remain SO
long concealed.
The theory of the post Office de-
partment is that the clerk in the mail
room of the boat laid the le'
the window sill. Possibly by reach
ing for other letters lying near the
window the package was accidently
pushed into the opening through
which the windows of the boat
dropped only in some such manner
as this, it is believed, could the let
ters have reached their hiding place
between the walls Seattle Daily

loo tons of steel per day and the
good market demand will absorb very
much more than its possible output.
The plant has had many vicissi-
tudes-more. however, from the
high finance connected with it than
from anything in connection with it's
industrial operation. With proper
capital and properly financed, it
should have been success had it
been operated merely as an indust-
rial institution.
There never has been any reason
why the iron and steel industry
should not have been profitably est
ablished on this coast on large scale
long ago. There are here all Of the
raw materials and a good market,
protected against competition by
high freight rates from the present
centers of the iron and steel indust-
ry. The two or three attempts to est
ablish the industry on large scale
have failed, and altogether from the
same source, bad financing.
If the new owners take hold of the
plant without financial handicaps,
there is not the slightest reason why
it should not be made to pay and to
grow in magnitude as other indust-'
ries on this coast have grown. The
industry is one vitality needed, be-
cause of the present large and pros
pective enormous demand for iron
and steel on the Pacific coast, and
the cost difficulties and delays incl
dent to getting in supplies az needed
from other parts of the country.

JONES IN SENATE PLEADS FOR
NEGRO
Washington Senator Will Not Admit
Oriental is Superior to African

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-An a.
mendment by Senator Jones, OF
Washington to the agricultural exten-
sion bill which would inure to negro
colleges of the South the administ-
ration of portion of fund propos-
ed for farm demonstration work led
to a sharp debate today in the senate
over the racial question.
Senator Jones defended the prln-
ciple of his amendment, which was
still pending when the senate ad-
journed. Senators Hoke Smith, OF
Georgia and Vardaman, of Mississip-
pi, contended that the administration
of the appropriation should be left
in the hands of white men, who
"would do more for the negro than
the negro would do for himself.
Senator Jones had not proceeded
far with his argument that the negro
should be permitted to handle part
of the funds from the federal treas
ury before Sen. vardaman suggested
he had better take a few days OH
and study the question. -
The Mississippi senator asked II
Senator Jones would be willing to al
low the japanese to share in the ,ad-
ministraton of the fund allotted 10
the Pacific coast states.

but they are not" was the emphatic
response.
ssWell, you will admit" continued
Senator vardaman, "that the Japan
ese, in all OF the elements that go TO
make up the man are superior to the
negro?"
mo, do not admit that" said
Senator Jones, and Senator Varda-
man sat down, remarking: Il can't
argue with that kind of a man"
Sen. Vardaman was again on his
feet in few minute when Senator
Jones mentioned the progress OF the
negroes again.
Their progress has been due TO
what white men has taught them
insisted the Mississippi senator. And

BROWN STORY WINS HEARTY
APPLAUSE
Law Has Saved Many From Crimi-
nal Brand and Restored
Their Usefulness

A large audience at the fortnightly
banquet of the st. Marks Brother
hood at the chhrch last night Wig
ously applauded Judge Fred c.
Browns story of the beneficial work
ing of he so-called "lazy husband"
law, of which he is recognized as the
father.
."Prior to the passage Of this law a
wife and mother faced the alternat-
i've of branding delinquent hus-
band and father as convict witt
securing any material returns for
the maintenance of herself and chill
dren during the time Of his incarcer-
alton, or refusing to go to law and
taking the burden of the support OF
the family on her own houlders
hope of relief" said Judge Brown.
ssMost mothers thought too much OF
the good name of the children to
brand the father as a felon.
..Under the workings of the pres
ent law a mere arraignment is suffic-
lent to bring a large percentage OF
delinquent husbands and fathers to
a realization of their duty. Under
suspended sentence or on promise to
nav to their wives or into the court
a certain sum each week they are al
lowed to go Immediately back into
the world and redeem themselves.
