PARCEL CLERKS SWAMPED -' rostmaster Myers Exacts to Add About 20 0 Special Assistants to Prevent Congestion in , Holiday Shipments. Tnese he busy times for Postoffice Department employes. The postoffice and all Its sub-stations liave been rushed more than ever thle year and Postmaster Myers estimates that he will have to employ as the maximum of extra clerks and carriers approximately 200 -men and women. , The postal receipts for the past few days have , been rising by leaps and bounds, those of Monday being ap proximately 18300, several hundred dol lars more than on the corresponding day of last year. The parcel post windows are receiving the greatest amount of patronage and the service in that department has been trebled over-that of normal times. Other departments have been Increased In proportion to the demand and thou sands of person are waited upon daily. The mail congestion has begun, ow ing to the late arrival of fast mail trains from the East. As it is neces sary for mail distribution to be timed to the arrival of -mail trains, delays may toe expected rom now on. Yesterday No. 6, fast mail from the East, was more than 12 hours late, not arriving in the city until last night. Postmaster Myers expects no great amount of congestion in the handling of all mails, both incoming and out going, for he will employ a big enough extra force to care for all con tingencies. OREGON SITE IS WANTED MR. BBXSOX NEGOTIATES FOR PROPERTY FOR A.VNEX .Pvrners, However, Have So Par De clined Offer of 9375,000, further I Efforts May Be Dropped. j Developments of the' past few days by no means have changed the de cision to erect the proposed seven-story Hotel Benson 'annex, but there is a possibility that the annex may stand on the ground now covered by the Hotel Oregon building instead of on the quarter block diagonally . opposite the present Hotel Benson. It has been common knowledge among realty men for some time that S. Benson has been willing to purchase on a valuation of J375.000. giving as high as $150,000 in cash and the bal ance In the form of the quarter block on which he now purposes to build the annex. Tlrus far the owners of the Ore gon, Goon Dip, of Seattle, an,d Twin Wo-., of Portland, have refused to meet this offer. Unless an agreement is reached, which now seems unlikely, it is regarded as certain that the Benson Annex will go up on the Benson land at the northeast corner of Oak 6treet and Broadway, with a tunnel connect ing the two buildings. Amos Benson, who has managed his father's Investments in Oregon during the past several months, admitted last night that the Benson Annex might be on the site of the present Oregon.

By mail came a card from his mother and sister, reminding him that the turkey was one of a brood of a dozen hatched from eggs he sent to the farm early in the season. He figured the bird for the birthday dinner came high enough, but the live "piece de resistance' for the Christmas spread cost him . considerable for ex pressage and grain purchased for the bird, and, not being familiar with the execution and dressing of a live turkey, he faces more expense in "having that task attended to by a butcher.

HEARING HELD AT EUGENE Anaconda Copper Company Made rarty to Suit, as Scrip Was Pur chased After Alleged I)um- ., my Entries Were Made. EUGENE, Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.) An echo of the F. A. Hyde land fraud cases was heard in the Lane County Court today, when the last of seven suits instituted by the state of Oregon for the recovery of 37.000 acres of school land came up for trial. Seven Circuit Courts of the state in connection with this proceeding will be called upon to decide the same ques tion, as all the suits have been tried in different counties. - Attorney-General Georpe ir. Brown and Assistant Attorney-General J. O. Bailey are representing the state tn the case on trial. A. C. Shaw, of Port land, is appearing- for the defendants, and E. E. Hershey. of Portland, and E. -R. Bryson. of Eugfene. for the Ana conaa copper Company. The copper company s interest is in scrip for land purchased from the defendants. The state alleges that Hyde and his associates perpetrated fraud in acquir ing title to school land through the use of dummy entrymen. Land amount ing to 47,000 acres obtained-by the de fendants was Included in. fore'st re serves, and under an act of Congress they obtained scrip which would per mit them to make lieu selections of land on other parts of the public do main. After about 10.000 acres of the lieu land had been acq tU red. the valid ity of the 'scrip was questioned. The state is seeking' to recover 37.000 acres of land for which lieu selections were never made. Virtually the same case had been presented to the Circuit Courts of Linn. Jackson. Clackamas. Hood River. Crook and Klamath counties. Most of the evidence is documentary. BILLINGS LIBEL FILED OXEOSTA DEMANDS SALVAGE FOR TOWING DISABLED SCHOONER.
