FA0T3 SnoWINO WUV WK SUUULII ll.VVK THE POSTAL TKLKOKAfH " Interesting ncoounta have becu re ceived at the postolTice department from Henry George, Jr., a news paper correspondent now supplying a syndicate of American dally news papers with letters from England touching the postal telegraph sys tem In tLat country. He says the charge for telegrams to all of the united kingdom is one cent a word, Including the address, the mini mum charge being twelve cents for twelve words or less. Ordinary postage stamps are nlllxed to the messages In paymunt. A moderate additional charge is made when the addresses lives beyond the limits of the free-delivery. Telegrams can ho lopeated at ha'f the nrigiumil cost. TVo cost of a reply not excelling forty-eight words muy ho prepaid, and a "icply form" is then deliver ed to the addresses, who can send his reply from any telegraph ofllco within two mouths. Five figures are counted as oue word, in tlds country the telegraph companies count every nguro a woru. As a measure of economy where many messages are likely to be sent, an abbreviated or aibltrary address may be registered for five dollars a year. In addition to these direct benefits, the people enjoy very substantial In direct advantages such as result from ti cheaper service for newspapers and nmvs agencies. The ruto for news messages to all parts of the kingdom Is twenty-four cents for every 100 words transmit tod between 0 p. m. and 0 a. m., and during the day it is twenty four outs for every senveuty-ftvo cents, with the additional charge of four cents per 100, or seventy-five words, according to the hour, for every duplicate telegraphic communica tion. A correspondent in London ith 300 papers on his list, for in stance, pays for sending out a piece of news after 0 p. m. at an average rate of.a fraction over four cents per hundred words. In this way, Mr. George says, the vast bulk of the news telographiug is done. TheDolaney multiplex is one of a number of American inventions in use in England, by which it is possl bio to send out six messages over a slnglo wire at one time. The Brit ish government pays $10,000 n year royalty on it. Although it has been in profitable use there livo years, it has been steadily refused in this country where the companies Imvo no need of inventions that would in crease faotlitles and reduce charges, A prodigious amount of work, in an incredibly short time, is accom plished in the Englisii postal tele graph system by the 'NVheatstono automatic process. This in an Eng lish Invention, transmitting 400 words a minute, and Is used in uowspapor telegraphic work. Bitiotf the government regulation of the telegraph in England, the number of telegraph offices has been increased from 2,488 to 7,000, the rates have been reduced more than one-half, and press rates cut down to a fraction over four cents par hundred words; and, moro Impor tant than all that, the service has been equally aud Impartially cheap to all. Universal sentiment, accord ing to Mr. George, testifies to the Immensely greater convenience aud efficiency of the postal telegraph sys tem, and no one would ever think of going back to the old plan of private companies. Mr. George thinks that us good, If not a better, postal telegraph system could be es tablished In the United States. The American letter service is really much cheaper than tho English, taking Into account the fact that our territory Is thirty times larger; aud electrical Invention, insteud of be ing checked, would bo stimulated. IMl'HOVK THE OOUNTIIY itOAUS. Alliance circulars, advifalng farm ers to hold wheat, are no solution of tho farmer's greatest difficulty lu dealing with the crop manipulators and grain syndicates. What ubo to advise him to hold his grain, when at the very time ho could get the benefit of holding It the country highways aro In an Impassible con, dltlou? Uy Improving the country roads can the people alono make tho producers Independent of the grain trusts ana exorbitant margins of tlio grain gamblers in our large t Itiea. With good country roads the year aronnd, the fanner who Is able can put his grain lu the grauary and market ft when it will bring tlio most. Two and a-half to five cents a bushel warehouse and sack fees are too big an interest for any farmer to pay ou his crops, ilut without good country roads to mar. ket It over when it la to hla advant age to do bo, he continues at the mercy of warehouse men, railroads and pccu!aio. No uga to build grunarlea aud put hla grain in bin If be cannot haul to market When, ho can get live, ten, or twenty cents more for It, becnuso tho roads aro Impassible. 'While It Is to tho In terest of the market towns to liavo good roads, It Is of ten-fold moro Importance to the farmer. Our county court and commis sioners should tak,o hold of this mat ter hi tliu interest of (ho farmer. They should study up tho improved methods of road building adopted lu tho older states. With a porous soil, with tile drainage ueither diffi cult uor expensive, with gravel easy to he secured, there is uo excuso for continuing our present system of mud roads. They nro the most ex pensive luxury wo can have. Thoy rob the producer of tho advantages of his market, and hinder the rapid development of tho country. The present laws nro sufficient to get good roads and maintain them. The county court can order fine roadx built and can Incur annual expendi tures of three mills on the dollar taxablo property, and employ a proper person to build properly con structed highways. Thoy should do this. It would be not a cent addi tional tax, but a diversion of public money where It. is most needed. With an Immense crop, Oregon pro ducers cau be saved hundreds of thousands of dollars If our main market highways are put lu proper order this fall aud winter. That Is tho time to do it. Tt tbehooyos our county courts and commissioners to act on this matter. WIUiAT JUMPS UP Timlin CKNTS. For several days Thk Jouknal printed fucts, figures and Interviews to show that the Salem wheat mur kot was held down at a figure that could uot be euslly explained. We good-naturedly but persistently ad heud to the main fact that wheat did not fetch withlu 3 cts. of what, according to the Portland market, should be the price to tho farmer at Salem. Saturday wheat went up 3 cts. a bushel at Salem. Did The Jouknal's agitation of the matter have anything to do with wheat jumping to 83 cts., from 80 cts. where It stood for a week? The Jouunal hopes uot. It hopes to believe that 80 cts. was all that could bo paid by tho Salem buyers and that there was a bona fldo ad vance Saturday of 3 cts. The Journal is too modest to aesumo that the stirring it gave the matter of wheat prices at Salem was the cause of the 3-ct. advauco. Hut -it advanced just the same and that Is what our farmers and business men are Interested lu. By tho wny, The Jouknal was alono at Salem lu all such matters. It is Salem's only public newspaper. The Jouunal is obliged to the gentlemen who manage our Salem markets, whether they resido In Portland or hcresoovor thoy re side, for advancing wheat to a more proper figure. It looks so much better in our local columns to see wheat bilnging as much at Salem us at smull wayside stations. It ought to bring more. We could give good reasons why that Buould be the case. Don't ho afraid you will hurt yourself by work. Idleness Is the only thing that will hurt you. UENEKAL NEWS NOTES.

An important scheme, tho object ot which is to Bavo the present crop of cotton from being sacrificed, has been formulated in this city aud will at nnco bo pushed throughout this aud all other cottou growing states. It Is proposed that trust companies with a capital of $20,000 or $S0,000 each bo formed luenoh county In tho entire belt, aud receive as aBiibscrlp tlon to tho capital one-third of the cotton crop mudo by each raiser In the county. The cotton thus placed In trust cau bo consldurcd tho sumo as If not In exlstauce, or destroyed, for tho next twelvo mouths. At the expiration of that period tho com panies are to dissolve, and return thucutton In trust to tho owuors. By this means It is calculated to hold Iho cotton supply of this year down to about 5,000,000 bales, und consequently bring the price up to about 10 cents por pound, us former ly received with a similar supply of cotton, In former years. Tiio first trust company will bo organized in tills city at once, after tho plans shall lmvo been formally Indomd by alliance, aud that It will bo is a foregone conoluslou, The ueccssary steps will be taken to extend tlio or ganization throughout the whole cottou belt.

Tho resolution culling upon hltn to de clare himself upon tho Ocala plat form,asked that It should bo done l fore tho convention should adjourn. It was given out that Gordon would electrify tlio convention at Its iifbrn. lug session. Instead of that, u motion was Introduced to recons(d pr tho resolution formerally Intro duced asking htm to give his viowp. After coiiBldciable dlscuisioii It fail ed. Tho convcullou was of tho opinion that since Senator Gordon wiib figuring us an opponout of alliance principles ho ought to put himself In accord with them. The flnul adjournment came without tlio uppearanco of Gordoir Tho feeling among tho membore wasiurong,und found expression in such exclama tions us "When ho wanted our votes wo could't Bhake him ofi." It was ascertained during the evening that Gordon was at tho governor's resi dence, where a plan of campaign was being arranged. When tlio conforonco was over Senator Gordon gavooutfor publication a short let ter to the alllanco at largo, saying that his position on public mat tern hud beou sot forth lu his speeches, and ho was surprised that any further statement should bo neces sary. Ho intended to address the people soon, and hoped to prove to them that lie wu their friend.
