NO CITY DELIVERY SERY-
ICE SATURDAY AFTERNOON

As preliminary tryout toward
the putting into effect at the local
post office of the 44-hour law re-
Gently passed by congress, city de-
livery service Saturday afternoon,
for the next few weeks will be dis
continued, and if found satisfac-
tory to patrons will be put into eff
feet permanently. The Saturday
afternoon mail is very light, states
Postmaster Shanafelt, and it is
thought that This curtailing of
service can be done without ser
ious inconvenience to the public.
The law is mandatory, states Mr..
Shanafelt, and requires that regu-
lar clerks and carriers be given
one half day off each week. AT
the local office with three clerks
and one carrier concerned, it means
shortening the work week two full
days, and unless the department
can see it's way clear to allow the
postmasters sufficient allowance
for substitute clerks, Mr.. Shana-
felt states that some curtallment
of service will be necessary on at
least one day each week. It is thot
that eventually Saturday after
noon will be observed as a postal
holiday, and only the mailing div
ision kept operating during that
period. Definite announcement as
to curtailment of window service,
if any. will be made later. Collec-
ton service will be from the two
downtown boxes only on this aft
ernoon.

POWER RATES

p. P. e l.. Announces Cut
Effective July LIST

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT VI dCilN 1--WE
& Light Company rate decrease
covering residential and CONNER
cial schedules in all the territory
served by the company was con-
firmed here today by R. H. Skill,
district manager of the company.
Mr.. Skill is authority for the state
ment that the new rates will go
into effect on all meter readings
after July 1.
s'The management of the COM
pany has been working for sever
al months on an analysis and study
of all the residential and CONNER
cial lighting schedules with sever
al objects in view" said Mr.. Skill.
zone Of these objects was to make
q substantial reduction in these
schedules affecting the greater ma
jority of our customers, and to do
this in manner to encourage IN
creasing use of our service. An
other important object was to
work toward uniformity of rates
in the various operating districts,
in the belief that an economic
whole rather than as number OF
isolated operating units. In work
ing out these rate reductions, the
company has wholly disregarded
the question of how much it might
be entitled to receive as a fair re-
turn on it's investment, and in spite
of the fact that operating records
show that the company is not now
earning such a return, though we
naturally hope as business condi-
tons improve more nearly to reach
that condition.
sThe net effect of the change
will be that the existing customers
will save approximately $225,OOO
a year in the combined operating
territory served by the company,
and still get the same number OF
kilowatt hours service.
"The new tariffs are being filed
with the proper authorities, and
will go into effect on meter read
ings after July 1. This rate re-
duction is being made by the COM
pany as major step in a series
of rate reductions the company
hopes to be able to make from
time to time as operating and fl
nancial conditions permit.
''The highest residential rate in
the city of Pasco under the new
schedule will be 81a cents a kilo-
watt hour, as compared with 10
cents, which has been the top step
in the rate since 1926. In the
rural territory the top rate is also
being reduced from 10 cents to
S.5 cents. In the city commercial
:hedule the top rate has been cut
from 10 cents to 81s cents. &
The new rates will affect APP
proximately $3.50 residential, COM
mercial and rural customers in the
district. AS a matter of fact, the
company expects that most custo-
mers will add sufficient electric

BUS TERMINAL is
LOCAL POSSIBILITY
Pasco Forbids Unloading in Streets
While Kennewick Asks for
for Consideration

The possibility of having Ken
newick made the terminal for the
bus lines now running thru town
was brought before the city coun-
Gil at their regular meeting last
night.
The buses have been making
Pasco their terminal, but a recent
ly passed city ordinance forbids
them to use the streets for load
ing or unloading and, since the
first of the month when the law
went into eject the buses have
been stopping at the city limits Of
Pasco only.
The ordinance was passed to
force the bus lines to provide a
terminal building and to avoid tie
ups on the streets. A request has
been unofficially made by Pasco
that similar ordinance be passed
here. The council took no action
on the matter as the bus line Of
ficials have indicated that they
wish a conference in the near fu-
ture. a. -.":.
Several of the business men are
of the opinion that if this town
could be made the terminal that it
would add materially to the bus
mess activities of the town, as it
would be a layover point as well
as transfer point for many pas
sengers each day. Railroad men,
who live here and work at Pasco
are asking for the passage of an
ordinance similar to the one Pas
co has adopted, holding that the
bus lines should be compelled to
serve the public in the same man
ner that the railroads do with
their ticket offices, waiting rooms,
ect.

Shares Sank From 1 to 4 POints-U. s. Steel Was Up and Down But Hit the
 Low Figure in Afternoon
By ELMER C. WALZER United PrcSS Efnorn,ial Lflifor

New York, Jan )-Stocks lost about half of early gains of l to points to-day.
 Wall street had been eagerly awaiting publication of the Wicker sham prohibition report and had ex- pected more definite proposals. In early trading shorts covered commit ments pending the publication. but after the report became public Some gains were cut.
 At mid session gains were being reduced and trading volume shrank after an early pickup. A few is- sues. including some of the utilities declined below the previous close.
 A premature announcement that uri-kansas-TeXas had omitted the dividend on common stock caus- ed a furry in that issue. It touched 26 3-4 early in the day and when the dividend notice came up 1t fell headlong to 23 1-8.
 M. H. Cahill. chairman of the board of Missouri Kansas Texas, said the matter of the cotton dividend did not come up before the board at to-day's meetings as consideration is not due before the February meeting. This statement immediate ly helped the stock to recover. It got back to around 25.
 United States Steel touched 140 3-4 in the earlier trading and near the end of the fourth hour was back to 139 1-2 where it was still up 1-2

William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective bureau, that Boston has waived its claim of preference in favor of Waterbury and that the local authorities may have the young man.
 Tn possession of the original war rant issued in February, 1880. Lieu morning toy Albany, N. Y.. to have Connecticut's formal extradition papers cisned by Governor Roose- welt. He will then proceed to New York city. where he will claim cus- tody of PireIlo.
 About year ago Pirello is aI- legged to have waylaid an acquaint- ance near the corner of South Main and Liberty streets. After accusing him of making derogatory remarks to friends n Italy about him. Pirel- 10 drew d gun and started shooting. He fired three shots and one bullet entered the chest of the chap again st whom Pirello was enraged. Or dinarfly # would have been fatal but fortunately the bullet had 70 plough i.s way through letters and pictures. which formed compact bundle in the breast pocket coat of the intended victim. The wound he suffered proved one of minor con- ocHNShSVS duO liC yOutH IcCONcTeu. Pirello found a place of refuge with some friends and later left the city. While the local police were car- rying on a search for him the Bos- ton authorities discovered that Pi- rello had violated his parole from the Charleston prison, where he was serving time for manslaughter Photos of the fugitive were sent about the country. Last November the New York police picked up sev- eral suspects and among them was Pirello. He was found toting a gun and apparently received a sentence for nothing more of his case was heard until New York police sent word that the Waterbury authorities could claim him any time. The Boston authorities are willing to have Pirello tried here on the att tempted murder charge and later they will file a claim for his cus- tody, so from all indications the young man has Q long list of en- agreements facing him.

 The we'll. owned by the T. B. Slick oil corporation, was plugged after it had sDewed oil and gas at the rate of 60,000 barrels of oil and 5O.OOO,00O cubic feet of gas daily for several hours.
 The wild gusher caused 700 per sons to leave their homes and sev- eral factories were closed. Trains were re-routed while it was running wild. It was the fifth to menace city property. but the first to break loose inside the city limits.

CITIES GAIN ON
 FARM SECTIONS
Gain in New England Urban Population an Incentive
 to Farmer
OFFERS FOOD MARKET

Publication by the census bureau of figures showing the urban popula- tion of the country to have reached 56.2 per cent of the total, as com pared to 51.4 per cent in 1920, in- terests New England because of the emphasis it puts upon the desirabil- lty Of these states as q market. Here are more people per square mile to be fed, clothed, housed. sold automo- piles. radios and countless other products than in any compara ble area of the country. This is not without it's importance to New Eng land industries, which by and large could afford to sell the home market more lntensively. It is also adequate reason why the trend of branch plants to New England may be ex- pected to continue.
 The census bureau shows the per- centage of urban population in New England in 1880 to have been as fol- lows: Maine. 40.3 per cent: New Hampshire 5S.7 per cent: Vermont. B per cent; Massa chusetts. 902 per cent; Rhode Island. 92.4 per cent: and Connecticut. 70.4 per cent. A census bureau. change in the method of classification in New Hampshire Massachusetts. and Rhode Island makes direct comparisons with similar figures for 1920 impossible. The other three states show increas- ed urban percentages.
 The urban percentage figure should be particularly heartening to that portion of New F,ngland's rural pop ulation that looks upon farming as a business. It proves clearly the ex- istence of an enormous number of reople. close at hand. who must be fed and who at present are being fed largely through the initiative and business sense of farmers outside of New England. Through the New England farm marketing program, developed by the New England council. New England farmers arc capturing an increased share of the business in this rich market.
