WILL HAVE LOCAL AGEXT.
The Southern Pacific people have
appointed B. A. McAUaster local
land agent at a salary of $15,000 per
year. This Is a new position. Mc
AUaster has been land commission
er of tb Union Pacific at Omaha for
a number of years.
He took charge yesterday of the
government land grants of the
Southern Pacific, Central Pacific
and Oregon tt California railroad
companies. This Is tantamount to
combining three positions Into one.
McAUaster succeeds such men as tbe
late William H. Mills, Jerome B.
Madden, who bas been retired on a
pension; C. W. Eberlein. who re
signed and went to London recently,
and Henry Conlln, who has been as
sisting acting general land agent for
some months.
Mr. McAUaster comes here at the
suggestion of E. H. Harrlman. He
Is 48 years old, a graduate of the
state university of Kansas and be
gan his railroad career as a ware
houseman at Salina. Kan., (or tbe
Kansas Pacific system of the Union
Pacific company. Hia success at
tracted Harriman's attention and
that Is why he was yesterday given
a new job out here.
He will bave charge of 8,000,000
acres, estimated to be worth $50,-000,000.
THE FIRST PENNIES.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept. 26.
For the first time In the history
of tbe San Francisco mint, the coin
ing of copper pennies began yester
day, and this work will be an impor
tant feature of local coinage in the
future, according to statements made
yesterday.
The first lot of pennies being
coined here are known as "cent
avos," being made expressly for use
in the Philippines. There will be
4,000,000 of these made in San
Francisco, and the job will require
a month, and probably a longer pe
riod. The coppers used in the Phil
ippines since the American control
are those made by the Spanish pre
vious to the Spanish-American war.
Soon after the Philippine islands
came under American jurisdiction
the monetary system of that country
became a perplexing problem for this
government. Until a new generation
could be reared with American edu
cation. It was thought change in the
monetary system would be destruct
ive to local trade, as the more Ig
norant classes would probably never
be able to comprehensively under
stand the new denominations.
At last it was decided to coin In
the United States special money for
the islands, the denominations to be
the same as the 8panish, to avoid
confusion. Accordingly, nearly two
years ago the coinage of "pesos," the
Spanish name for dollars, was begun
In San Francisco, and the supply will
not be completed until the begin
ning of next year.
It was stated by mint officials yes
terday that according to their un
derstanding the mint will begin the
manufacture of American pennies as
soon asthe Philippine centavos are
out of the way.
The coinage of eagles and $20
gold pieces has been stopped here,
pending further instructions from
Washington.
TORN STAMPS NO MKD.
A new order in the postoffice de
partment went Into effect last week.
By Its terms defaced stamps hereaf
ter are worthless. Should a corner
be torn off, no matter how small, or
the stamp be mutilated in any way It
cannot longer be used. All letters
bearing such stamps will be held at
the postoffice two weeks for recov
ery, and at the end of .that time. If
not claimed, will be sent to the dead
letter office.
Another phase of the order Is also
interesting. Permission is now giv
en Individuals to perforate the stamp
with a reasonably small Instrument
for Identification purposes. Such a
step Is Intended to prevent the send
ing of anonymous letters, or the
theft or mutilation of private mall
of any nature.

THE KXl'KKSS tX)MIAMKS.
B. F. Jones of Independence, at
torney and member of the legisla
ture from Polk and Lincoln counties,
has lodged complaint with the rail
road commission against the rates
and charges exacted by the Wells-
Fargo and the Pacific Express com
panies, under what Is known as the
general tariff, in the state of Ore
gon, and asks the commission to set
a date for hearing and investigation
of same. The complaint does not set
forth any particular instance in
which the rates charged are unrea
sonable or exorbitant, but implies
that all of the rates are too big, as
compared to tbe schedules In effect
in other states.
The complaint is brief and infor
mal, not even quoting a single rate
or classification of merchandise, but
it is along the line of Investigation
that the railroad commission Intend
ed to make upon its own motion and
complaint a little later on after It
had completed Its quiet Investigation
and comparison of rates and sched
ules in effect in this and other
states from the standpoint of trans
portation facilities and distances of
hauls. This complaint, however,
will start tbe ball to rolling, which
may result in the thorough Investi
gation of tbe rates and methods of
the two companies doing business in
this state.
