The National Educational Asso

meeting at Los Angeles, July 8-ia.
The round trip fare trom Portland
to Los Angeles will be $40, either
by the all-rail route or by steamer
between Portland and San Francis
co and by rail between San Francis-
co and Los Angeles. The general
public may purchase tickets from
July a to 8 inclusive with a final re

Express Companies.
inc new so-called rate law may
prove to be valuable to the peopl
in its power to curb the rapacity of
the express companies. The five
express companies of the country
have divided its territory between
them, and do not compete; they
are subsidiary corporations to the
great railroads, aud the people have
heretofore been completely at their
mercy. But the law passed last
year gives the interstate commerce
commission power to regulate their
rte( and in on instance at least
the commission has exerted that
power.

complaint made against the United

to put an end to this fine scheme of
picking the people's pockets is a
government parcels post system.
The United States is the only large
and important country that allows
its people to be thus held up. An
American cannot mail a package
weighing over four pounds, and
the rate is one cent an ounce. In
France, Germany, Great Britiau

pounds, the size limit three feet in
length and two and one half feet iu

one fifth cents in Germany to a little
over two cents a pound in Great

During the pastwinter and spring
the Forest Service has had a force
of men in the field readjusting the
boundaries of the National Forests,
and in accordance with the policy
of the Forest Service all land which
is suitable for other purposes Unow
being excluded.
Scattered all through the Nation
al Forests are many agricultural
lands, most small and narrow and
more or less isolated so that their
elimination is impracticable. Set
tlement is encouraged in these
ands, which are open to home
steaders under the act of June 11,
1906. This act provides for the
homesteading of agricultural lands
in the National Forests and is be
ing generally taken advantage of
for that pupose. Stockmen and
ranchers are not slow in realizing
the benefits of residence in Nation
al Forests and in many cases peti
tions have been received by the
Forest Service for further extension
ot their area. This, however, the
Service is careful not to do unless
it can be shown that the land is
chiefly valuable for forest or protec
tion purposes.
