032 Cars Through Eureka

The value of the Lincoln Highway
to communities located on the trans
continental route has been effectively
demonstrated to citizens of this COM
munity during the present touring
season. Careful figures kept by
Rudolph Zadow. local consul of the
Lincoln Highway Association. at Eu-
reka, Nevada, show the passage of
1872 cars through this town so far
this season. Four hundred and 62
Of these cars we're from eastern
points on the way to the coast, and
$40 we're from coast points heading
east. The fact that but ten cars of
this entire number passed through
Eureka without stopping and max
ing purchases indicates conclusively
the value of this tourist traffic. Two
years ago not one-ffth of this num-
Der of cars came through Eureka
Lincoln Highway Bulletin.

The Cumberland Valley Railroad made
a wonderful record last year. 1t carried
100000 passengers in 1914, not one OF
whom was injured in any way. ltsfreight
service was almost equally immune from
accident. Although 100000 tons OF
freight were hauled none OF its 200 en-
ployees was killed or seriously hurt
With the single exception OF one fractured
ankle, no bones were broken, nor was so
much as a finger or toe cutoff. The wreck
ing crew was called out only seven times
during the year, and these were mainly
for trifling miShaps. This is record OF
which the railroad officials and employees
are very proud.

The first order for the establishment OF
a rural delivery service under the United
States Postoifice Department. was brought
out OF the files in Washington and busted
Off a few days ago, preparatory to being
taken to California for The Panama ex-
position this year. The old order has pc
culiar significance for West VirginianS
because it was issued by William L. Will
son, West Virginian, then Postmaster
General, and also because itprovided for
the establishment in West Virginia OF the
first experimental rural delivery system.
The order was issued on September 3d.
1896, and directed the beginning on the
the following day, October |, 1896, OF an
experimental service for the delivery OF
mail in rural districts. The order pro-
vided that the service be established in
Jefferson county, W. Va, typical rural
county, which was also the home OF
Postmaster General Wilson. The ser
vice was to start with four carriers at $500
year each. Three OF them were TO
carry mail out of Charles Town and one
out OF Uvilla. These were the first post
offices in the United States to have rural
delivery, which is now common all over
the country. Today there are 1900
carriers on rural delivery routes, and the
salary is 81 200 year for most OF them.
To the second district OF West Virginia
may be given the honor OF having pro-
duced and sent to Congress the man who,
afterward as Postmaster General, became
the father OF the great rural mail delivery
system.

There is not much activity in the fight

rest until the wintry weather is over. A

He replied that he did not know, but
that the war would begin, so tar as the
English are concerned, next May. The
Allies are undoubtedly using the winter
in preparing for great onslaught when
spring opens up.

THE West Virginia Legislature has lot

days allowed for the session. The fHst
imperative need is the matter OF raising
more revenue for State uses and the next
is the wise and proper expenditure otthe
same. There will have TO be rediStrlct-
ing OF the State, and this is matter that
should be given decent consideration,
even iii is a partisan question. Then
there will be the usual griSt OF measures
OF public and private interest that are be-
fore every session and which take time
and attention. The time will be all too
short, as always, for the proper dlges-
ton OF the many measures that will be
before the legislators.
Would il moi be sensible to take steps
looking toward the removal OF the time
limit OF forty-five days .?

THE figures revealed by reports OF State
officials seem 10 indicate that there's
room for good deal Of economy in some
of the departments OF our government al
Charleston. For instance, we note that
the office OF Archives and History is cost
ing $40, 400 a year, sum out OF all pro-
portion to its usefulness. The Auditor S
office, whichhandles all the financial busi-
ness OF the State, costs only 29,5OO a
year, and is vastly more important than
the Historians office. The Public Ser
vice Commission cost last year S93, 954.25
an extravagant sum when the results
attained are considered. The commission
employs SO clerks, and it is said that a
large part OF them have nothing TO do
most of their time. II seems TO be ha-
ven ofrefuge for good many lame ducks.
The Commissioner of Agriculture spent
$27, 400 the past year-the items indicate
that much OF this was useless so far as
real good is concerned. One of the use
less offices created by the last Legislature
was that OF hotel inspector, who gets
$500 year and expenses-an entirely
unnecessary expenditure.
While money is so scarce is good
time to economize.
