"Loop" and Phantom Circuits" Returns With Circulation Greatly Increased. Jeff W. Hayes, the blind editor of the American Telegrapher, again is in I'ortland. with headquarters at 1822 linst Morrison street, where the paper will be published in the future. It was issued formerly in Los Angeles, with the assistance of P. G. Tompkins, but Mr. Hayes 'is now the proprietor and editor, and in fact the whole staff. He left Portland about six months ago with the magazine established on a, circulation of several hundred. He went to Seattle and from there East, working up the magazine. Upon his return he found that his labors had raised the circulation to several thou sands and the advertising has grown from practically nothing to more than a dozen pages. The booklet is devoted , to operators, both in style of stories and in the business gossip, but It Is interesting to the man who knows nothing about the "loops" and "phantom circuits." The November number is well sup plied with stories of the wire-and wire less' heroes and some "shop talk," in terestingly compiled, is appreciated by both the man acquainted with the - -wires and those who have, not taken the Inside track. Mr. Hayes was manager of the West ern. Union Telegraph Company In Port land in 1882. He held that position Until 1893, when his eyes failed him. Since that time he has done much I writing, two of his best-known works being "Tales of the Sierras" and "Port land in 1999."i Then he conceived the idea of a magazine devoted to the telegraph men and since he has traveled 17,000 miles putting this in operation. Upon ending his Journey at Los Angeles he found that his house had burned down with all his belongings and that brought his decision to return to Portland.

Standard SIkc eC Berry Boxea and Abolition of Dry Meaanrea, Also, Advised by Mr. 'Baektcl. SALEM, Or., Nov. 21. (Special.) In his biennial report to Stale Treasurer Kay yesterday, F. G. Buchtel, Assistant State Sealer of W eights and Measures, recommends changes to make the law- providing for the department more easily workable. He suggests that it be amended to conform as closely as possible to a law advocated oy tne Government Bureau of Standards. He specially recommends the "tolerances' and "specifications" suggested by the Government bureau, and that the state department be given the power to pass upon weighing yand measuring devices as a type, ana prevent tne saie oi muae not within the specifications. . Mr. Buchtel further recommends that the size of berry boxes be fixed by law to prevent loss to growers in Interstate shipments. He suggests the adoption of standard measures for hopplcking purposes, and picking by weight if it is desired. Because dry measures are un reliable, and liquid measures holding nearly 15 per cent less are often sub stituted, he recommends that dry meas ures be abolished and that all com modities sold now by dry measure be sold on a basis of net weight or by numerical count. "In view of the fact," says the report. "that the population of a number of counties is small and places of bust ness are separated widely and that i there is not sufficient work to require the employment of a sealer at all times, and in order to give a more economical as well as a more efficient administra tion of the law, I would recommend that certain sections be amended to give the State Sealer the power of appoint ment of district sealers, placing two or more counties .in one district, with not less than five or more than eight dis tricts to the state." ' Mr. Buchtel reports that the depart ment inspected and tested 15,985 weights, finding 14,156 accurate and 1829 inaccurate; 9933 scales, finding 7339 accurate; 3592 measures, -finding 3339 accurate.
