Copies of the new postal law received by Postmaster liter 'rick today show that while the appro priation la for ISOO.OOO only, which la much too small to permit of tha instal lation of savings banks In all cities, yet no city i -named speciatty tor n bank. It is' possible that one could be secured for4 Portland under the terms of the law. particularly If Senator Bourne- becomes chairman of the.pOst of flee commute of the senate, as Is highly probable, ;V - v " ' Another, possible Improvement In the Portland postoffice Is the installation of automobiles for the " collection of mall. The regulations have been changed m that Instead of one-year contracts for collection and transfer of mall, four year contracts will be made. An ap plication for one automobile has already been made iiyuhe-jpoatat-of f lolals hara and It la possible a contract can ; as made for the use of automobiles ax el ualvely In th mall service. ' . ' An Innovation In postal affairs' that Is-to be made July 1, the date the new regulations g0ntarefefct,-wlltb "toe postal note, to be issued In amounts up to f 10v For Instance One can purchase a note here which reads "Pay to the order of Blank, 116." These notes are not negotiable nor transferable and tha objection to them is they are subject to forgery. The United States Is, not liable for any loss incurred In the pay. men t to wrong parties and the govern ment will not protect the purchaser, as It will In' the case of money orders. Another change is the placing of a 125 Indemnity on third and . fourth class registered matter. Heretofore- regis tered matter of those classes has car ried- no- Indemnity against loss. ALIENSTS II BASSETT SHAMMING . .That II. H. Bassett, held as a witness against Dra. , C. H. Francis: and W. J. Maj . in the circuit court, has been shamming Insanity is the opinion of alienists who' have examined him.

WANT CITY ENGINEER PAD 6000 A Committee of the Taxpayers' league has filed a communication in the city auditor's office, asking the city council to .place on the ballot a charter amend ment providing for the fixing of a minimum salary of $6000 a year for the Office Of city engineer. .
