Withdrawal OF Books From
Mail Results in Saving

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-"The
action or n large and well known
publishing house OF Philadelphia, in
making n primary distribution OF its
articles by freight 10 various cen.
ters OF the country for further dis.
tHbution by mail. caused a loss OF.
$4,000 in postal receipts for tina
city in one month";" according 10
official announcement Of the post
office department.
In Fort Worth, Texas. a decrease
OF about $4,000 over last year Is
accounted for by the action OF
the postoffice department in quell.
ing activities OF fake oil stock pro.
moters OF that city who had been
flooding the mails with literature
soliciting the public to invest in
their schemes.
Postmaster General Harry New is
not weeping over the action OF the
Philadelphia publishing house .o.,
even Al the increased zone rates,
the postoffice has been losing
money on the goods" so. while the
gross revenue win be decidedly
lower as a result of this action. the
net revenue viii be increased very
considerably. the railroads win get
less. and the publisher will get
more.
The reason for loss OF revenue
to the railroads is that they charge
the government considerably morsl
per ton than the government getJ
out OF the publishers. Notwith.
standing these two heavy losses,
general gross business OF all post.
Offices shows a comfortable increase
over last year.

only exceeded in four previous
months in tho country's history.
The mineral oil industry Is still

despite large consumption. are still
being cut.
''One OF the best statistical
1 showings Is that given out by

PRODUCING new
STUMP POWDER
Government Tries Cheap Ex-
plosive for Clearing Land

The use and efficiency Of the new
stamping powder. sodatol. has re.
Gently been demonstrated at farm
a few miles from Olympia. The dem.
onstration was conducted by George
r. Boyd. from the bureau OF public

Mr.. Borst, from the Dupont Powder
company. cooperating with County
Agent +. b. Siookey. Sodatol IL
manufactured from surplus stocks OF

from the war and which the govern
ment now wishes 10 use in the gen.
erul development OF the country.
Sodatol Is being distributed by the
extension service OF the State College
OF Washington. at Pullman. thru the
county agents. To this end the bu.
reau OF public roads is authorized to
place the sodatol at the disposal Of
those who have use for Il.
A contract has been entered into
with the Dupont company TO receive
the two explosives. mix. cartridge
and box at their plant. ready for
shipment. Tho government supplies
the ingredients, but there is a small
charge for the preparation for use.
The total cost Z. o. b. the cars at the
powder plant is $500 per 100 pounds
and the purchaser pays the freight
to the destination at the time OF dc.
livery.
The sodatol Is put up In waxed pa.
per cartridges, each weighing about
seven ounces. there being approx
mateiy 40 sticks in a 50-pound box.
Its strength is estimated 10 be about
the same as an eiEht.ouncc cartridge
Of 30 per cent dynamite. It can be
exploded either with cap and fuse
or with the electric battery, tho
same as other powders. but Is Is
non-detonatlng and must receive the
spark inorder 70 explode.
The demonstration at Lacey was
in the nature OF an experiment. as
the use Of sodatol on our big West.
ern stumps win necessarily have TO
be tried out before the best meth.
DDS and proper amounts can be as.
certained. Mr. Boyd selected typl.
cal stumps and loaded with different
sized charges. so that their action
might be noted
The demonstration was opened by
Gov. Hart with a few words Of OK.
PLANTATION and WAS witnessed by a
crowd or about 400 people. many OF
whom were experienced powder US.
ers. They expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the results.
and the opinion was that the new
powder gave as good results AZ the
ordinary stamping powder and at
about two-fIfths OF the cost.
