Inscription over entrance to
new city postoffice at Wash
ipgton.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 81
How many people know how to
protect themselves, discharge their
assumed obligation, and secure
prompt settlement in case of loss
of an insured package? The ques-
tion can not be answered, of course
but it may be asserted that there
are many who do not and will not
perform their part of the contract.
A man sends a valuable package
by parcel post. He pays a few
cents to have it insured, accepts a
little certificate issued by Uncle
Sam, and believes he is all right
So he is, only he has something
more to do in case of loss. He must
prove in some way that the ad-
drssee did not receive the ship
ment. This may be done by a
statement made by the person who
was to receive it, corroborated by
the postmaster at the place of desti-
nation, that delivery was not made.
The Postoffice Department sends
blanks for this purpose Immediately
claim is filed.
A visit to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General disclosed the
fact that multitude of claims are
made wherein any attempt to prove
non-receipt of goods is neglected
A man says in effect, 81 have a
receipt showing ! insured a package
at such a postoffice on such date
The value named is $50. The
package was not delivered: l want
my money"
Apparently he does not stop to
think that would be an easy way to
get money if no proof from the
other end were required. Stubborn
neglect and refusal to furnish this
proof is a cause of tremendous
mass of correspondence by eighty
five clerks of the Third Assistant
Many times an addressee has left
the place at which delivery of the
insured parcel was to be made, anc
no trace can be found of him OF
her. This is particularly true ii
| Western states.
As soon as it appears that ar
insured package has been lost, q
letter stating non-receipt, and cor.
roborated by the postmaster al
delivery point, should be obtained
from the addressee. This, for
warded with the claim will insure
prompt action.
A surprising lot of blanks are
always being handled by the Thirt
Assistant Postmaster Generals of
fee, showing inquiries sent out {
second, third, or fourth time, il
which the sender's case is clearl,
stated by number of receipt held
date of mailing, value of package
and what not, but not a word II
answer to the interrogatories re
garding non-receipt.

BENEFIT DANCE FOR
SHOPCRAFT LAST NIGHT

The dance given at the opera
house last night by members of
the local striking shopcraft was a
success from both a social and
financial viewpoint, according to
members of that organization. A
large crowd was in attendance and
general good time was had. The
music furnished by Sewers orches-
ira was donated and also the hall
by Manager Harry Oastler. The
proceeds of the affair are to GO
toward the maintenance of the shop
craft organization and for the aid
of any needy members, if such
there should be.

STREAMS RECEDINC TO
SUMMER LOW POINT

With the hot days of the past
month, water in streams has been
diminishing at rapid rate and
some creeks in this county which
were roaring torrents few weeks
ago, are now mere ribbons and are
only few inches in depth. Water
at the bridge in the Humboldt is
less than three feet in depth COM
pared to ten feet few months back
and nearly six feet little more than
month ago.

back entrance, habit probably
formed in earlier days of business
and political activities.
So far there is no candidate for
district attorney. l.. G. Wilson, the
incumbent, has spiked his double
crossing friends guns by getting
out an independent petition, assur-
ing that he will be a candidate in
the finals il man of similar politi-
cal persuasion comes along at the
last minute and files for the office
with the assurance of solid backing
by Wilson's professed political
friends. Seeing that he cannot ex-
pect square deal, Wilson is likely
to refuse to be party to ring ac-
tivities, in which event he is en-
tirely likely to wind up with his
election assured.
Late this afternoon A. Living
stone filed as a candidate for JUS
tice of the peace for this township,
to run against James Richie.
George Cavanaugh, labor's candi-
date for state assemblyman, who it
is rumored was to have made the
race as a Democrat before also re-
ceiving dose of the now famous
ring double-cross, got busy last
night and today has completed an
independent petition naming him as
candidate, which was filed late
this afternoon.
X. G. Lamb, chief of police, also
Is candidate as a Republican for
the office of constable of this town
ship. What the present constable
N. P. Moore, is to do-that is,
whether he will be candidate for
any office or not-has not been
stated.

dates May Announce, With the
Political Situation More
and More Mixed Up


that w. J. Bell has fled for
long term commissioner and
L. G. Wilson has fled for dis
trict attorney, both candidates
filing as Democrats.
"Party politics are going to be
completely ignored in Humboldt
county this year." said man well
versed in local politics, this after
noon. And it certainly appears that
he is right, for the political situa-
ton is rapidly becoming more in
volved, and greater number of
candidates are out for office than
has been known here in many
years. if indeed the record has ever
before been tied.
And the worst is not over, if
much scurrying around by politi-
clans and many confidential chats
count for anything. A published
report in an Elko paper brought
information here today that a ruling
DtSu tiiat tCi
tificates of nomination could not be
received by the county clerk after
5 o'clock tonight, the usual closing
hour for such offices. County Clerk
J. w. Davey, with whom all certifi-
Gates are filed, Immediately phoned
to the attorney generals Office in
Carson City and was informed that
no decision has been made on the
point. For this reason he an
nounced that candidates have until
midnight to file. There being a
question as to the legal time limit,
thus raised, prospective candidates
have become nervous and a grand
rush to file is expected.
Probably the greatest surprises
today were the announcements that
A. +. Trousdale, former county COM
missioner, had filed his declaration
Of candidacy for long term com
missioner; Vic Pinson of Golconda,
former deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Brady and a rancher of the Preble
district, for short term commits
sioner; Frank O'Leary of this city
for county surveyor, all filing as
Democrats. j. !. Peterson of Col
conda, present county commissioner,
and <. p. Sites, city councilman of
Winnemueca, also filed today as
Democratic candidates for state as
sembly. w. II. Springer, former
sheriff, filed as n candidate for that
office, running as Democrat, and
to run against the incumbent, Sher-
iff George w. Brady, who filed as
an independent.
Interest centered today on what
w. J. Bell, present chairman of the
board of county commissioners, was
going to do. He is a very wary old
politician and is familiar with all of
the tricks of old-fashioned ward pol
itics. Announcement few days
ago that he would be an independ-
ent candidate created some surprise,
but as his petitions did not seem to
be numerous it was patent that the
announcement was camouflage to
prevent others from entering the
race. In his effort to build up a
political machine calculated to make
himself the car of Humboldt coun-
ty, which has been unsuccessful, he
has lost large number of former
staunch supporters, particularly be-
cause of willingness to use system
of ito the victor belongs the spoils"
and desire to make family
proposition of county government.
There are many other counts
against him that will undoubtedly
be brought out in detail, should he
become a candidate, and he knows
1t. Hence his desire to slip in by a

the new name Of the firm to be Dr.. kimban and
BRYANT, and the offices 70 be in the same location as

TRIBUTE is GIVEN
TO ENGLISHMEN WHO
BEFRIENDED AMERICA

Washington, Oct. 12.--Tribute to
the work of the Sulgrave institu-
ton in fostering friendship between
Great Britain and the United States
was paid by Secretary of War
Weeks today in accepting on be-
half of the United States the stat
ute OF Edmund Burke, presented
to the people of this country by
the institution.
The bonds of friendship which
have maintained peace between
the countries for more than 100
years were recalled by officials of
both England and America when
two statutes Of distinguished Brit
ons, both briends of this country,
were unveiled, the gifts of the in
stitution. The statue of Burke,
friend of the colonists in the try
ing days of the revolution, was
unveiled in a city park and a bust
of the late Viscount James Bryce
long British ambassador to Wash
ington, was unveiled in corridor
of the capitol. Both bronzes Were
presented by Sir Charles Cheers
| Wakefield, former Lord Mayor o.
London. Chief Justice Taft ac'
cepted for this country the gifht o.
the Bryce memorial.
America has never had two
stronger friends than Burke ant

"and certainly they understand
America and its ideals and aspira
tons better than most Englishmef
of their respective times
