en- by Tuggle, who was in company
with Hall, j. L. OdOm and Dewey
VEAL collided with wagon occu-
pied by the injured persons, overturn-
ing it,
Mrs. Bradley's leg was broken in
two places and she was internally
hurt. Mr.. and Mrs. Williams sus-
tanned severe cuts and bruises about
the body and limbs. 1t was charged
among other things that the car was
being driven without lights and that
the speed limit of thirty miles an
hour permissible under the state law
was being exceeded.
The jury in both cases returned
verdicts of guilty and Judge George
sentenced the young men to six
months servitude on the county gang
He concluded his remarks in pass
ing sentence on them however, that
in event they should settle all of the
expenses incurred in treating the in
jured at the local sanitarium, that he
would then take up the matter of re-
lieving their sentences.
The court adjourned Tuesday night
for the term. Few cases of import
ance were tried many of the most in
teresting cases going over to the next
term to come within time of office of
the successor of Judge George, who
goes to the Appellate court.
The grand jury also adjourned Tues
day afternoon for the term.

REIMBURSEMENT OF POSTAL
RATES PROMISED IN CONGRESS

Washington, Nov. 27.-The ways
are now being creased for launching
of the movement for the readjustment
of postal rates in the next session of
Congress. This problem was to have
been taken up in the last session but
had to he deferred on account of the
consideration required by railway mail
pay. Since this has been disposed of
the committees are prepared to take
up the matter of placing the various
postal rates on more equitable bas-
is.
A zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently
urged to take place of the present flat
rate which was adopted nearly forty
years ago. The present rate has for
some time been regarded as a dis
elimination against the newspapers in
favor Of the great national magazines.
Like thebparce post the proposed zone
rates would be based on the length
of the haul fn
The postal committees have been
besieged with petitions bearing mil
lions of names and several hundred
thousand letters from individuals urg-
ing a readjustment of postal rates
with view of making possible one
cent letter postage. A survey OF the
situation indicates that sufficient
changes will be made in the various
rates to permit the granting of a 1
cent rate on local delivery letters in
the next session of Congress.
Chairman Moon of the House Pos
tai Committee said today: 81 think
that the committee will take up this
second-class mail mater at the next
at once While | cannot speak for
the committee, this is my desire in
the matter | do not know what kind
of a bill we will pass, whether it will
have a zone feature attached to it
or not This view has been presented
frequently in years past, and some
times received favor and sometimes
not AS to what shape the legislation
will be in | am not able to say, but |
am sure the committee will give it
the best possible shape in the public
interest"
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia,
prominent member of the senate pos
tai committee said: 81 do think the
time has come when the people who
write and mail letters and pay postage
ought not to have quite so much of
this burden of the price Of transpor-
tating and handling the mail matter
of the various national magazine pub
locations on their shoulders"
Representative Carl Vinson, of Geor-
gia, said: when letters can be car
ried all over our country, and to GER
tain foreign countries for two cents,
and retun large profit, it is quite
evident that profit on local, or the
so-called drop letters, mus be exhor-
bitant The reduction will mean no
falling off in the revenues as it is
generally regarded that the volume of
mail will practically be doubled imme
diatey upon the installation of the
new rate"
Representative Britt, of North Car
DINA, former assistant postmaster
general and now member of the
house postal committee says that 81
cent will much more than pay the
cost of handling local delivery letters
and the creation of such rate will
be powerful stimulus to urban bus
mess and local correspondence. A
glance at the postal statistics will
show this rate to be easily feasible.

Northwest To Manufacture Steel
Is Prediction

II do not expect the war TO end
suddenly or within very short time. AT
the beginning Ut the war Lork Kitch-
ener told me that he was preparing
for a struggle of at least five years.
The last time that / heard from him,
which was not long before his death,
he said that he then saw no reason
to change his. original estimates"
If Kitchener's prediction should be
verified, the present activity in ship
building will continue not only through
three more years of war but also
Il Rough a CORRESPONDENCE prolonged
pc Rod after the war in order to make
good the destruction of tonnage and
the failure of normal increase and
also to carry the vast quantities OF
material needed for reconstruction. The
activity promises to continue for long
enough period to establish both the
shipbuilding and the steel Industry
firmly In Portland as in other Pacific
coast cities.
The effect of this new industry on
the business future, not only of Port
land, but of the whole tributary coun-
try, can scarcely be oyerestimated
Former employees of the old plant are
still here and would readily return to
their old occupation. Many more come
from other steel centers, for escape
from the extreme heat they suffer in
the east and south will be a strong
attraction to this mild climate. Steel
workers are among the most highly
paid wageearners in the country, and
shipbuilders are not far behind them
Their presence would have a quicken
ing effect on general business.
Other industries will benefit mater
tally by the coming of the steel indus
try. Ships bringing material for the
mills will beayailable to carry away
the lumber wheat, wool, fruit, salmon
and northwest manufactured products,
while vessels built here would take
first cargoes of these products in going
to their purchasers home port. Our
commerce will no longer suger a blight
from lack of vessels while the world is
hungry for our products.
