OPPOSE HIGHER RATES
OF SECOND-CLASS MAIL
STATISTICS OF PUBLISHERS' AS
SOCIATION SHOW RATES OF
UNCLE 8AM ARE MUCH
HIGHER THAN PRI- ,
VATE CORPORA
TION. Statistics compiled by the repres
entatives of the United Typothetae of
America and the American Weekly
Publishers' association, organizations
which are vigorously fighting the In
crease of the postage for second-class
mail matter, show that the Govern
ment Is paying the railways three
times as much on the average for the
transportation of mall matter as the
express companies pay the railroads
for like service.
On the basis of the Postmaster-General's
statistics, the publishers as
sert that the Government during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, will
pay the roads almost J32.000.000 more
than the express companies would
pay them for hauling an equal tonnage
The printers and publishers compile
the statistics to show that the Govern
ment, for the purpose of reducing the
annual postoffice deficit, rather should
reduces its outlay for the transporta
tion than increast the rate for second
class matter.
Fine Horse to be Sold.
A valuable horse will be sold at
public auction in about a week by
Sheriff R. B. Beatie to satisfy judg
ment for about f 340 held by Homer

ed at $3500. A number of horsemen
