I THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1906. E OUT FOR POSTAL REFORM Railroads Declared to Be Mak ing Excessive Charges for Transportation. PARCELS POST DELAYED Oregon Patrons of Husbandry Send Out Circulars to All Members of the Organization in the United States to Start Crusade. FOREST GROVE. Or.. Sept. 24. (Spe cial.) That there are colossal frauds In the Postal Department, and that the big annual deficit the department has to face Is due in large part; to the overcharges of the railroads for carrying mails. Is declared by the Oregon State Grange to he the reason bo many obstacles are placed in the way of the movement for better pay for rural mall delivery and the introduction of the parcels post. The Oregon- Grange makes the state ment that the railroads charge the Postal Department 800 per cent more than they do for similar services elsewhere'. It Is the purpose of the state organization to cut down the monumental graft that at taches to the mall service. Resolution Adopted at Albany. At the late session at Albany a resolu tion voicing the need of postal reform and suggesting means to carry It out was adopted and copies will be sent to every Grange In the United States, with the purpose of getting It before the National Grange when It meets at Denver in November. The resolution was as fel lows: Whereas. The citizens of th United State have come to regard the postal service as one' of the most important branches of the Govern ment; Whereas, It Is the ambition of all true citi zen, to see this service advanced to a more perfect system not excelled by that of any other nation. Whereas, The deficit of the Postal Depart ment for the year ending June 30, 1908. amounted to practically 415.000.000. thereby creating a condition that will retard advance' ment and improvement in our postal service. Whereas, We believe this enormoua deficit la cauaed, in a great measure, by the payment of exorbitant prices to the railroads for the carrying of mails; by the payment of ex travagant prices for the use of stamping ma chines, time-recording clocks and many other supplies utsed in every branch of the postal service; and by the - flagrant abuse of the franking privilege; Resolved, That the National Grange be re quested to select a committee of three mem bers of the order, giving them full power to employ all necessary assistance, such as law yers, stenographers and expert accountants; said committee to proceed to Washington, D. C. and make a thorough Investigation of pub lic records and all other sources of reliable In formation In all branches of the Postal De partment and if, In their Judgment, any un necessary financial drains are discovered, the National Grange shall at once-convey the facts to the President of the United Btatem and to the National Congress anr demand an Investi gation. Letters Sent to All Granges. State Master A. T. Buxton, pf this city, who will represent the state at the next meeting of the National Grange, to be held in Denver in No vember, Is preparing to press this mat ter to an Issue on that occasion and in order to arouse the Granges of the land he has prepared a letter which, accom panied by the above resolution. Is be ing sent to every Grange in the United States, asking It to instruct its repre sentatives at the National Grange to take action in the matter. The letter points out the ways in which the pos tal funds are wasted, and is as fol lows: The Inclosed resolution was adopted at the last session of the Oregon State Grange, and the National Grange will be asked to take ' action upon it at the coming session In Den ver. You are doubtless more or less familiar with the conditions existing In our National Postofflce Department an annual deficit reach ing now well Into the millions of dollars, and growing larger every year. So" long as we are confronted with thla condition the effort for more efficient postal service make little headway. With such a growing deficit each year, even If there were no other factors to contend with, it would be a difficult matter to persuade Con gress to undertake the establishment of postal savins banks or parcels post delivery, such aa is now enjoyed by the citizens of Mexico and nearly all European countries. Further more. It would retard the perfection and ex tension of the rural delivery system. At the present time, many postal employes, such as city and rural carriers, and many postofflce clerks are not paid a fair compensation for the class of service they perform. In some instances under the conditions with which they have to contend, rural carriers find they can not afford to carry the mail for. the wages paid by the Government, and It becomes nec essary tor the patrons to raise $200 or 300 annually by private subscriptions) in order to maintain the route; but with an annual deficit of f 15.000,000 It seems impossible to, expect any relief. Behind Other Great Nations. Ours Is the only great Nation where such a condition exists, and the patrons of Oregon are convinced that this state of affairs la due -largely to the facts set forth In the preamble to thla resolution: "By payment of exhorbl tant prices to the railroads for carrying tha malls; by the payment of extravagant prices for the uss of stamping machines, time-recording clocks and many other supplies used In every branch of the postal service and by the flagrant abuse of the franking privilege." In the support of this belief we ask your consideration of the following facts: For car rying the mall for a distance of 90 miles, be tween two points In Oregon, one mail each way, six days In the wk, the Government pay a certain railroad $6000 per annum. In addition to this It pays the company rent on three cars that are used on the run at a rate that would build each of the three cars new every year. Furthermore, only two of the cars are seen in service at one time, the other being kept in reserve to be used in case of accident to the other two. The rent Is paid on all three at the same rate, and only one-hair of each car Is used for mall pur poses, the other half being used by the Wells Kargo Express Company, and It cannot be learned whether they pay any rent or not. Graft on Machines and Clocks. In the general Postofflce of every large city of our land there are in use various forms of stamping machines and one or more time-re-cordins clocks, which record the time "of going on and coming off duty of all the em ployes of the office. Many commercial estab lishments have similar clocks, which they, buy from the manufacturers at prices ranging pos sibly from $100 to $200. But by some strange regulation the Government la never allowed to buy these clocks, but, as In the case of the mallcars. pays an annual rental amounting to more than the price of the clock. Third As sistant Postmaster General Edwin C. Madden told the Housa Postofflce committee, February 7. 1906. that various executive departments of the Government were In the habit of send ing steel safes, billiard tables, desks, book cases, chairs and lounges free through the malls, and It happened that much of these heavy shipments were made during the period when tha malls are being weighed to determine the basis of compensation for railroads. Mr. Warden said that In 1860 this Go rernment tree GRIG matter, exclusive of bags and wrappings,, con stituted 12.S8 per cent of the entltre weight carried. Gifts to Favorite Railroads. Nobody knows how many cases there may be like that of a certain Congressman who franked so many documents to swell the mail carried by a favorite railroad at the time of the weighing on which Its pay for four years was to be based that it was necessary to rent a barn In which to store them. ' This sort of thing, Mr. Madden thinks. Is largely respon sible for the postal deficit, and Postmaster General Cortelyou estimated that in 19o4 the Government lost. In round numbers, $20,000,000 by this free -matter. In addition, to these actual frauds that are practiced, as It has been stated on excellent authority, that the railroads charge the. GovT ernment about 800 per cent' more than they do the express companies for similar services. Now, someone is responsible for these abuses and there ought to be some way to stop them. The patrons of Oregon have felt that the greatest amount of good could be accomplished toward securing results in the matter If ' the National Grange would take It up and make an Independent investigation. To Stamp Out Corruption. t We do not desire- to create a stir in this matter. Like all patrons of husbandry, we simply desire to stamp out corruption wherever It may be found to exist and clear the way for the attainment of some of the reforms In the postal service for which the order of Pat rons of Husbandry has long been contending. We believe that it would be useless to ask for a public Investigation now, for the" reason that It la frequently made too much to the Interest of those who may be charged with 5 v s ' ! . Wk A ....

The high suspension bridge at this place, which burned last Thursday night, was constructed of wood and wire, painted white, and was a very substantial structure. Being so high, it could be seen at, a considerable distance In all directions and was greatly admired by all for its graceful lines and exceedingly airy and clean appearance. The fire Is supposed to have been of Incendiary origin. The bridge was constructed in the years 1804-05 by -Dr. D. M.-Eddy and associates and cost between $11,000 and $12,000. The loss of the bridge falls not only on the owners. ut upon this) whole community,, as It was a great convenience to all. particularly In Winter time, when It Is difficult to reach, the ferry during high- water, and also to operate, the boat. -There-Is considerable talk here of this city and the County Court building a free bridge. such tasks to hush matters up and cover it all with a shining coat of whitewash. But we believe that if the ll;ht methods be em ployed that such a committee as this resolu tion proposes, backed by the National Grange, it can collect such an array, tft facta as to force an uncovering and .correction of the whole matter. We cite the fact that the in vestigation of a single Individual and his fear less exposure of the conditions he found sur rounding the meatpacking business led to an Investigation which resulted In some of the Important legislation that has been enacted in recent years. We contend that this Is a matter of not less Importance, by which the Government Is being defrauded of millions, of dollars annually and tha people are being deprived of much-needed Improvement In the postal service. We believe the National Grange Is In a better position to undertake this task than any other Institution or organization In the country. We believe that ltd funds, even to the extent of several thousand, dollars, could not be used to any better purpose or one that will bring more benefit to a like number of people or one that will result In more ultimate good to the Grange as an organization. . SEATTLE BONDS li ADVERSE OPINION GIVEN ON LIGHTING ISSUE. City Council Did Not Follow Out the Instructions of the Charter Regarding Meetings. OLTMPIA, Wash., Sept. 24. (Special.) The recent ' Seattle municipal lighting; bond Issue, amounting to $600,000, was to day invalidated by an opinion from the Attorney-General, addressed to the State Land Commissioner, the members of fvhlch desired to bid on the bonds for the permanent school fund. Under the Attorney-General's opinion a new election will have to be held in order to legalize tha bonds. The point on which the Attorney-General decides against he bond Issue is that the ordinance calling the election for voting the bonds was passed at the same meeting at which it was introduced, con trary to the requirements of the city charter. The charter provides for regular meet ings of the City Council on the first Mon day of each month, but it is the practice in Seattle to adjourn from one Monday to the next, holding weekly adjourned meetings. The ordinance In question was Introduced at one of these adjourned meetings, and passed at the following ad journed meeting a week later. Both were, in the opinion of the Attorney-General! part of the same regular monthly meet ing. The opinion is written by Assistant Attorney-General Booth. ' ARCHBISHOP CHRISTIE BETTER Expects to Return to Portland on the Alliance. MARSHFTELiD. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) Archbishop Christie is reported out of danger today and it Is expected that he will return to Portland on the steamer Alliance, arriving In Portland Thursday night. When shown the above dispatch.

Father McDevltt also said that he expects the archbishop home Thursday night on the Alliance. "Always tired'- describes a dangerous condition. Hood's Barsaparllla will give you strength,. i ALARMED BY PESTS Josephine County Will Com mence Extermination. FRUIT MUCH DAMAGED Campaign 'of Education Carried on by Institute Staff From Oregon Agricultural College Opens the Eyes of the Orchardists. GRANT'S PASS. Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.) The Grant's Pass Fruitgrowers' Union which was organized early this Fall, with R. A. N. Reymers president, R. M. Rob. lnson vice-president, Charles Meserve sec retary, L. L. Jewell treasurer, has be gun a campaign to exterminate the pests - ; r 11 mi afn-Mflnr fffiiiiBfanftfrn -jrrff that threaten to ruin-the fruit Industry In Josephine County.' So great has been damage to fruit this season that fully 75 pef cent, of the fruit la affected more or less with San Jose scale or cod lin moth, and the loss to the farmers will reach fully $30,000 at 60 cents a box. The farmers and business men, as a result of the six fruitgrowers' meetings recently held In this county by Dr.. Withycombe and Institute staff of the State Agricultural College, have come to realize the loss that the pests are caus ing and the value that the fruit industry would be if carried on as It i& at Hood River and other sections. Josephine County Is in the center of Rogue Rtver Valley, famous for producing the finest apples, pears, peaches? and grapes, but owing to gold mining having been the leading industry for 60 years, fruitralsing has not been given the prominence that it has been in the adjoining section of the valley embraced in Jackson County. Now the orchards are to receive quite as much attention as the mines. At a meeting of the Fruitgrowers' Union, Sat urday, It was decided to have a county fruit Inspector appointed by the County Court, and. Charles Meserve was recom mended for the position. County -Judge Stephen Jewell was present at the meetl 4ng and promised the heartiest co-operation of the County Court In enforcing the state law against such tree owners as would not free their trees of pests or cut them down. Hon. A. H. Carson, member of the State Board of Horticulture for this district, Is assisting the union in the war on the pests and It is the purpose to have as perfect a lot of fruit another year to ship from Josephine County as was ever put on the market. To encourage the farmers to spray their trees and to make the expense as light on them as possible, the union will buy the spray materials by the carload and let the orchardists have It at cost. As but few of' the farmers here fully understand the art of spraying, the union has secured a large number of copies of the bulletins prepared by Professor A. B. Cordley, of the State Agricultural College Experiment station, that treats of pests and sprays, for distribution. Bach orchardist (s also being supplied with a copy of the annual report of the State Board of Horticulture, which is by iar the best text book ever gotten out for Oregon fruitralsers.-- Such of the fruit as Is not damaged by the pestsa of very fine quality and the yield is good. The Fruitgrowers' Union made shipment of pears to New York that were highly complimented and which sold for the highest price ever realized on pears sent from this county. The union Is preparing to send several cars of fancy Spitzenberg and Newtown apples to East, ern markets. So great is the demand in Portland and other Northern cities for Rogue River peaches and grapes that none are shipped to Eastern markets. The acreage to graphs Is being, largely Increased and large shipments to distant markets will be made within a few years. The acreage to apples, pears and peaches is also being very largely Increased.' BRYAN IS TO BE INDORSED Washington Democrats Will Oppose Alaska-Tukon Exposition. TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 24. (Special.) The Democrats will probably nomi nate a complete state ticket this Fill, although that Is still undecided. The Pierce County delegation will go to Seattle tomorrow, preparatory to the convention, which is to be held there Wednesday. Democrats- from all sec tions of the state will reach Seattle to morrow and the ante-convention meet ing promises to be equally as important as the convention itself. Two candidates for Supreme Judge and one for Congress are pretty sura to be chosen. Jere Neterer, of Belling ham, and S. E. Elliott, of Chehalis, are the nominees already considered for the Supreme Bench. Either C. S. Voor hees or W. C. Jones, both' of Spokane, will be named for Congress, w. H Dunphy, of Walla Walla, has been talked or for Judge. He was In Tacoma yesterday, and said that he would not accept a nomination. x The platform will" indorse' Bryan, though not without a fight; it will con demn in unmeasured tones the state administration, and it will oppose that plank of the Republican platform that approves the Alaska-Yukon Exposition. PICKERS OF PRUNES ARE FEW Benton County Growers' Fruit May Rot in the Orchards, i, CORVALLIS. Or., Sept. 24 (Special.) Troubles are falling thick and fast on prune men in this vicinity. The hoppick ing has extended to a considerably later date than la usual, and there Is a dearth of pickers for the prune orchards. All last week the orchards were picking with less than half a force in every Instance, and In some with but a small percentage of the pickers that were deBlred. The rains have since come on, and from them a two-fold injury results, the burst ing of the prunes and the unwillingness of pickers to work. In the big prune or chard north of town, where 5000 bushels should have been picked last week, only 2000 bushels were taken from the trees. Saturday, by offering special Inducements, college students were secured for the day In several orchards, but these are busy now with their classes and are no longer available. v The one" hope in the condition la that the Tains will let up. In which event help V - s ; i T vr-i can be secured, as hoppicking in the yards here will be ended by Wednesday. In the big orchard. 7 cents per box is be ing paid for picking. Five cents Is the largest figure that was ever paid there before. Damage Suits at Chehalis. CHEHALIS, Sept- 24. (Special.) The City of Chehalis has been made defendant In a suit for $3000 damages for personal Injuries sustained by Mrs. Sarah Hoag land June 18, 1906. In company with her husband, W. M. Hoagland. the plaintiff was walking along a walk on Market street, when she fell through a hole and claims to have sustained severe bruises and other Injury. Francis L.

N Faculty Backs Up Placard, and Pipes Are Emptied and Cigars Thrown A. way. ,' SEATTLE, Sept. 24. (Special.) Col legians who are addicted to the use of tobacco In any form, whether they smoke well-rounded bit cigars, a little curved-stem pipe or the aromatic cigar, ette, will have to indulge In their pleas ure in the woods' or off the campus entirely, as a faculty ruling has been passed prohibiting smoking near the buildings of the University of Wash ington. When the students came back to register for the Fall term this morn ing their attention was arrested by a placard waving in the wind above the steps of the administration building announcing that hereafter no smoking would be permitted near any of the college buildings. Notwithstanding this decree, hundreds f young men went Into the building anyway and registered, with an equal or greater number of young women, the entire registration amounting to BOO for the day. Last year It was only 330 foi the corresponding period. Heretofore there was no order against smoking anywhere on the campus and the result was that often after lunch the-eteps of the main build ing were crowded with collegians whose heads were surrounded by a halo of smoke, emitted from -mouths hold ing the typical college pipe or cigarette. The habit of smoking near the build ings was carried so far that the fac ulty determined to take action in the matter, with the result that today ci gars were thrown away and smoking pip bowls emptied as soon as the stu dents noticed the conspicuous sign suspended-from the porch. a Great Demand for Teachers.
