The visiting teams showed a marked deficiency in team work, and in the second half the local team put in a number of substi tutes to give them a trial when they had the game well in hand. Each team had three trials at the basket from the foul line, Mc Minnville making two goals out of three attempts, while the local team failed each time. Brewster was the best player for the visit ors, making: the maiority of their Rogers goals. For the home team Swan 1 ntJ" threw four poals. C.

The excess of this branch of the service is, however, en tirely absorbed in paying the losses sustained in the transporta tion of advertising matter for private concerns. There is a new bill now before Congress for the establishing of a Parcels Post system for carrying merchandise at a low rate. This is a benefit principally to the various large mail-order houses doing business in the larger cities, and works a disadvantage to every' country merchant. There would be nonobjection to this bill if it could be made to pay the expenses of carriage. But it will not and the losses can only be met by continuing ! letter postage at two cents. This makes all the people of the coun try pay for the benefit of a few, and is considered unjust. It is also claimed that the reduction of letter postage would enormously increase the number of letters sent, and more than make up the expense, and that the profit would still be 'very larere. This is a reasonable statement and capable of proof. Just 37 signatures were obtain ed to the petition circulated here on Saturday, representing the bulk of local merchants. By all means give us the pen yy postage for out letters, and the parcels post when it can be done without loss to the department. Moore 3, and Rinehart 1.
