Over two miles of film are run off ' during the ninety minutes of the play. In all 525,000 pictures are flashed on the screens. T. he Passion Play is given at Oberam tnergau, at intervals of ten years by peasants in full costume, out of doors before a crowd number ing thousands.

The United States Postal De partment has made new regula tions in regard to carrying second class mail matter ( such as news papers, magazines, periodicals, ' etc.) the same going into effect January 1, 190.?, and allowing publishers to April x, 190, to prepare their subscription lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect of the change practically compels the establish ment ot new relations between the publisher and subscribers of county papers. The department ruling requires that subscriptions entitled to the second class postage rate shall not be delinquent longer than the following periods of time: Dailies within three months. Tri-weeklies within six months. Semi - weeklies within nine months. Weeklies within one year The mails are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arreais longer than tbe time provided in the new ruling, but these subscri bers are placed in a separate class ification, requiring a higher rate of postage , the rate beinfg so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price of sub scription. "he reason given by the gov- ernment lor making this order is that second class mail matter is being carried through the mails at a rate of postage thereon which is less than the cost of car nage. ' The Gazette has heretofore been liberal in giving to its sub scribers time to pay for their sub scriptions, by paying $200 per year for those past due and $1.50 per annum when the same was paid in advance. Haying made the difference in the past-due and advance rate has resulted in giv dng the Gazette a larger portion of paid up subscribers. This rule must now be changed according to Uncle Sam's order, as the newspaper has no voice in the matter. The Gazette invites its patrons to settle their dues soon. Colonist Rates. Colonist rates will be in effect Miirch 1, 1908, to April 30, 1908, from eastern points to the Pacific Northwest as lol- ows : From Chicago to Portland, Astoria and Puget Sound destinations, also to points on the Southern Pacific main line and biancnes north of and including Ashland, Oregon, $38. From Missouri River common points, Council Bluffs, to Kansas Citv, Mo,, inelueive also of St. Paul and Minneapolis $30; St. Louis, $35.50, and from Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, $30. Stopover privi leges and other conditions of sale will be practically tbe tame as prevailed previ ously. 16tf R. C. Linville, Agents. Addition Made to Forest.
