?, [. RECEIPTS AT PINE BLUFF
 GROW GREATLY During Fiscal Year Ending June 30, $60, 161 Taken
 in Here.
POSTMASTER GETS
 RAISE IN SALARY
With Addition to Pay of John D. Will bourne, Several Other Members of Force Also Get IncEpaSe-Ad.
 ditiOn to Force Necessary.

As a result of the large increase in the postal receipts at the Pine Bluff postoffice in the past ten years, effec- tive July 1, Postmaster John D. Will bourne, Assistant Postmaster DuVall and Superintendent of Mails Wallace have been given salary increases. One clerk and three carriers have also re- ceived increase in pay, this raise be- ing automatic and is based on length of service.
 Postmaster Wilbourne, who has been receiving $3,100 per year will now get $3,2OO Assistant Postmaster DuVall's salary was increased from $500 per year to $500 and Superin- tendent of Mails Wallace, whose sal ary has been $1,300 per year, will now receive $1,400.
 The office of superintendent of mails was created a year ago when Mr. Wilbourne became postmaster. Mir. Wallace, now in charge of the po- sition, was advanced from clerk with a $100-a-year raise in salary at that time. This makes $2OO advance for him within the last year.
 Receipts Grow.
 During the past ten years the re- ceipts at the local office have increas- ed $20,161. For the past four years the receipts have amounted to about $50,000 per year and~during the past year beginning April 1, 1913 and end ing March 31, 1914, the offices busi- ness has increased $S.000 A great deal of this can be attributed to the parcel post business.
 The salary of the postmaster is ad- vanced according to the increase in the receipts. The last raise received by the postmaster in charge of the local office came about ten years ago, when the office was doing an annual business of about $4OOOO. During the past year the office receipts amounted to $60,161. The business for the past year alone is responsible for the bet ter pay given the officials. The next raise for the postmaster of the local office will come when the receipts of the office reach $S0,OO0 year. The in- crease in the salary of the assistant postmaster is the first made in twelve.years.
 Increase Force.
 During the time that Postmaster Wilbourne has been in office the re- ceipts have grown to such an extent that it was found necessary to add two additional clerks, who were put to work on May 1. Postmaster Will bourne is now working in an effort tC add another carrier. Some routes o1 the carriers have grown so large that it will be necessary to re-arrange them so'that they will all be the same size Additional territory will alst be taken in when the new carrier is added.
 A postoffice has been authorized a Doyletown, and this will be establish ed within the next few days.

1. t. L. FAR FROM EDEClSI0N IN RATER'
 ADVANCE CASE
Understood Commissioners Will Not Hand Down Rul-
 ing Before Another Week.

Washington, July 3.-Interstate commerce commissioners are still far from a decision ill the advance rate case. Instead of handing down their conclusions in the matter today as ex- pected, they spent the time trying to get together. They may reach a de- cision in a week, but that is not prob able.
 There is wide division among the commissioners. They are agreed on what should be done. but there is no feasible way now open for them to act, except a grant of what the. rail- roads desire, either in whole Or in part.
 The division is due almost entirely to the commissioners self-imposed in- quiry, Are the revenues of the car riers adequate? If not, how may they be increased?" Upon that double headed query, Louis D. Brandeis built his structure of facts and theories. As special attorney for the commission CTS, he announced when the matter was argued that the revenues were inadequate.
 The commissioners agree with him that they are not adequate to cover extensions and improvements the car riers believe should be made. But they are not ready to authorize additions to them by the Brandeis methods and there is the rub.
 Up to this time, the carriers have offered the only scheme for the in- creasing revenues, not positively for bidden by prior decisions of the com mission and judgments of the su- preme court of the United States.
