POSTMASTER GENERAL MAKES HIS REPORT Tells of Finances and R hecks for Tran Small Sums and Reply Postal Cards and Envelopes, Posta WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The annual re- port of the poshinaster general, issued to- day, rehearses the various Auggestions made by his departmental heads, says: Free Delivery Enhances Farm Values, 1t was claimed that rural delivery would inorease the value of farm lands. Ofcial feports Indicate that in communities served by rural free delfvery, isolated farms have been enhanced in value because of that service at an average of at least 5 per cent in the older sottled states, and in the more. remote states and territories, where postal facilities have heretofore been few and far between, the increase has been much greater. It was asserted that to bring the farmers into close touch with the markets would enable them to obtain better prices for thelr products. Specific Instances have been {brought to the attention of ‘the department where the prompt delivery of live stock 'quotations, indicating a témporaty gult In the market, to farmers Intending to ship to the stock yards, by enabling them to hold back their shipments till the markets resumed their normal conditions, has saved to individual cattle ralsers more than the total cost of one year's rural délivery over the routes on which they lived. On the other hand, fn many instances, informa- tion of an advance in the prices of par- ticular farm products has reached the grower: intime to enable him to make a much more profitable bargain with his com- mission merchant than he could otherwise have done. Social Benefits Conferred. Lastly, the claim was made that all these materfal advantages would be equaled it not surpassed by the soctal and educational benefits conferred In relieving the monotony of rural life, by bringing city and country into close connection, and giving the farmer an opportunity of keeping abreast with the rest of the world, through the daily receipt of his newspapers and corre spondence, as had hitherto been enjoyed exclusively by the city man. How thor- oughly these features of the service have Jjustified the claims made in their behalt is known to all who are familiar with the operation of the rural free delivery system. Urges Postal Checks. Millions of our people live more or less remote from any postofice, and a large proportion of them afe mot able to buy money orers or bank drafts without great inconvenience. It Is not unreasonable to expect from the government that it will provide an easy, convenient and safe method to transmit small sums, eay $2 or )ess in amount, without pufting the sender to the inconvenionce and cxpense which now ob. tain in the purchase of a draft or postofiice money order. 1 urge upon congress the importance ot pussing some law at as early a date as possible. Hundreds of thousands of let- ters carrying small amounts in silver or postage stamps are transmitted every year through the mails. These letters are a constant temptation to those handling them, as it 18 easy to identify letters containing currency. Y With the extension of the rural free de- livery service to the remote parts of the country, the use of the propesed postal checks wpuld go far to provide the reliet ®o urgently demanded, as it would con. venlently 've those sections of the coun. try not heretofore covered by or adjacent to money order offices or the banks of the country.

At the close of the flacal year the total Aumber of domestic rou of all classes Wwas 34.711; their length 507,540 miles, and the anousi travel 474,234.667 miles. Com- pared with the preceding year this is & decrease In length of routes of 4,267 miles. | but an Increase in anoual travel of §,088,- | 628 miles. The expenditure for such sen | vice for the year was §59,261877.58, an in- crease of $3,471,085.41. There were 21,167 star routes, the length of which. was - 268,539 travel 130,087,224 mile 773.60. The contracts for all routes in the fourth contract section, em- bracing all the states and territories (three excepted) west of the Mississippi river, expired June 30, 1902, and new contracts were made for all the star service in those States and territories for terms ot four ‘years. - beginning July 1 last. Thess new contracts 007 routes, aggregating 110,563 miles and 48,686,346 of annual travel, the latter belng an incrowse of 2,007,838 miles, oF 430 per cemt, over. the annual travel under the old contracts.” The average rate per mile traveled under the old contracts was 4.83 cents; under the new contracts it was 6.58. At the average rate paid under the new contract a contractor traveling twenty-two miles each week day would receive a fraction over $1.44 per day, or $463.10 per annum. These contracts. were let only to those persons who agreed to reside on or contiguousgto their routes and to give thelr personal superviafon to the performance of the service, and nearly all the contracts provide for delivering mail into boxes along the routes wherdver the people desire such service. Box Dellvery on Star Routes. The system of box delivery service has now been applied wherever practicable to all of the first contract sectlon, including the states from Maine to West Virginia, having 5,578 routes and to the fourth con- tract section, including the states and ter- ritories (three excepted) west of the Mis- siasippl river, having 6,037 routes, to the state of South Carolina and to miscel- laneous routes throughout the remainder of the country wherever néw contracts have been made, so that the people on consid- erably more than half of all the star routes in the United States are now given the ad- vantages of this box delivery service. The fiscal year just closed was the first year of the contracts for this class of service in the first contract dection, Malne to West and in June last inquiries were ch of the routes to ascertain the extent to which the box delivery was being utilized. The replies recelved from 4,840 routes show that 32,798 boxes or cranes have been erected along these routes and that 42,728 familles are having their mail delivered to them by the carriers through such boxes or bags attached to cranes. Re- ports indicate that such service is generally satisfateory to the people who are avail- ing themselves of it. The star service discontinued during the year ended June 30, 1902, by reason of the establishment of rural free delivery service, amounted to $265,013.98. Tells of Alaskan Routes. The contracts for all transportation in Alaska expired on June 30 last' and new contracts were executed ' for service for the term beginhing July 1. The first mail transportation by railroad authorized in Alaska was that which was established last May on the rtailroad between Skagway and White Pass, near the Canadian boundary line, & distance of ‘twenty miles. Begin- ning July 1, the. Canadian department as- sumed the transportation of mails over jts Among the prinipal routes Included in the mew contracts is one along the Yukon river from Eagle to Tanan: miles, and one from Tanana to St. Michael, 423 mil on which the mails are carried not less frequeptly than onmce a week, ex- cept for four months of the year while the fce 18 either forming or breaking on the Yukon river, when the, service is to be twice a month, As the mails on these routes in the win- ter time must be carried by dog teams and sleds, the welght is limited during the winter, but the contracts provide for carry- ing the mails by steamers during the sum- mer geason on the Yukon without lmit of welght as often as the steamers may run, which will be more frequently than the malls are carried at other seasons. There s a connecting route from Nome to Una- laklik, 230 miles, also an overland route from Eagle to the southern coast at Valdez, 413 miles, twice a month, in connection with steamers to and from Seattle. Service has been established from Fort Yukon to Bet- , 250 miles, one round trip a month, ex- cept In May and October. All this route is north of the Arctic circle. Contracts have also been renewed for carrying all classes of mail without limitation of weight dur- ing the season of navigation from both Seattle and San Francisco to Nome and St. Michael and for a connecting steamer line from B8t. Michael to Golovin, Nome, Teller, and York. During the summer Just closed malil-steamer lines were ex- tended farther north than theretofore, and malls were carried from Nome, by Shish- maref, Deering and Kotzebue Mission, to the mouth of the Kowak river, a distance of 831 miles. Steamboat Service Discussed. At the close of the year there were 210 steamboat routes, the total length of which was 34,338 miles, with an annual travel of 5,416,307 mlles, costing $598,251.05 per annum. Compared with the previous year this was an increase of 367 miles In length of routes, 764,139 miles in annual tr and $66,265.73 in annual cost. The service in the fourth contract section was relet last year for the term of four years begin- ning July 1, 1602, and the increase in cost under the new contracts was $62,867.41 per annum. On June 30 last there were 7,542 mall- messenger. routes, aggregating 5,268 miles in length, 10,495,622 miles of annual travel, at & cost of $1,065,974.06 per annum. In this service there was an increase of 167 miles in length of routes and $60,162.30 in annual cost. On June 30, 1902, there were 2,844 raifroad routes, the total length of which was 187,- with an annual travel of 312,521, costing $35,049,211.22. The in- crease im the length of routes was 3,771 miles, in anndal travel 9,908,153 miles and in annual expemditure $1,167,820.95. A welghing of the malls was had on all of the railroad lines in the fourth contract section, including all the and ter- ritories (three excepted) of the Mis- siasippt river, and the result of the regular quadrennial readjustment of pay for rail- road transportation in those states and ter- ritbries for four years beginning July 1 last was an inerease In annual cost of §1,874,- 010.65, being 14.91 per cent. re in operation on June 30 last lectric car routes, aggregating 3,608 in length, 7,634,757 miles in annual travel and costing $414,348.75. The Increase in length was 551 miles, in annual tr 41| 945.348 miles and in annual expenditure $61,- 734.68. Rallway Mail Serviee. At the close of the year there were 1,350 lnes of traveling postoffices, covering 178,- 796 miles in length. The number of clerks employed was 9,731, annual travel by them in cars 221,589,999 miles. To accomplish this 5,786 cars and apartments were used on the steam roads, besides twenty-four ocars on the electric lines under the super- vision of the railway mail serylce, and elghty-three apartmen: on steamboats. It Is estimated that these clerks handled 15,02,890,640 pleces of ordinary mall and 24,174,17¢ packages and cases of registered mail. The errors by clerks in handling the mall as reported indicate but one error made for every 11,502 pleces correctly dis- tributed. There were 286 casualties to mall ears last year, in which either mail or clerks were injured. Nine clerks were killed and covered | first time authorizing the postmaster gen- eral to pay to the legal representatives of any rallway postal clerk killed on duty $1,000. This afforded a much needed relief and supplements the practice of the de- | partment to continue to pay a clerk injured while on duty his full salary for one year. Legislation 1s needod for the protection of railway postal clerks while in the dis- charge of their duties. New and improved service in lines of full rallway postoffice cars or apartment cars during the last flscal year was ap- plied to 34,605 miles, which is in excess of the record of any previous year. Add tional car space was provided on lines aggregating over 8,000 miles In length New trains at a high rate of speed have been placed in operation on several of the trunk lines, furnishing greatly improved schedules for the movement of the mails, and by the extensjon of other lines new conneetions have been developed for the more expeditious tranemission of mails to and from important sections of the country. Wages Raised Awain, While ne general law has been ennoted by congress for the reqzganization and re- classification of the rallway mall service, much has been done in various appropri tion bille. The salaries of clerks of the $1,200 and $1,400 classes, which for years were reduced by reasom of restriotel aj propriations to amounts less than the maxi- mum allowed by ldw, have been restored. A higher class, at $1,600 per annum, b been created for chlet clerks and allow-~ ances have been made for their traveling expenses. A still bigher class, at $1,800 per annum, has been established for a Psistant division siperintendents and pro- vision made for their traveling expenses. The salarfes of division superintendents have been increased, fifteen days annual leave has been granted to clerks perform- ing dafly service, provision has been made to pay $1,000 to the families of clerks killed in the line of duty, and provision has been made for the promotion of clerks on the heavier apartment lines from $1,000 to §1,100 per annum and for the promotion nt chief elerks and a number of tull railway postoffice lines op- erating more than one car to a trafn from $1,200 to $1,300 per annum. A change has been made in the distribu- will resuit in shortening the transit time of that class of matter without affecting its security. The scheme for the distribu- tion of registered matter have been changed 80 as to avold the delays at ex- change offices, the matter heretofore in- closed in the through registered pouches being omitted to a large extent and for- warded as hand pleces. A system of through registered pouches to be made up by the clerks of the larger lines has been inaugurated, and special equipment has been furnished with which to make such exchanges. Buy Stamp Books Readily. The increase in the demand for stamps bound in booké was very great. The num- ber of books issued was 7,093,274, containing 124,468,488 3 cent stamps, which Is 61 per cent more books than were fssued the pre- ceding fiscal year. The profit to the gov- ernment was $43,402.92. New designs covering the entire series of adhesive and enffiossed stamps, are In course of preparation. It {8 expected that they will be ready for issue during the coming winter. The new stamps will be much more artistic thah those of the pres- ent series, and will bear the name ‘of the subject with the years of birth and death. Return Postal Cards Wanted. The subject of:ireéturn postal cards and envelopes has begn puuch discusséd by the publle and considered ‘in the department, The four assistants o the postmaster gen- eral and the audithr for the PostoMce de- partment were appointed & committee to consider this subject, and report upon the feasibility of adopting an experimental plan, Your attentlon is respectfully called to the report of this commission transmitted here- with. After having given the subject careful consideration &nd belleving that it has great merits, 1.have arrived at the conclu- sion that it is very questionable whether; under the law as it now stands, the depart- ment is authorized to put in operation any system which does not provide for the pre- payment of postage by the affixing of stamps. I recommend the' passage of & law con- }errmz upon the department specific au- thority to introduce the system of reply postal eards and envelopes, if in the dis- cretion of the department it shall be Qeemed wise. INDIAN ~ SCHOOLS - PROSPER Both Boys and Girls Become Better Citizens Through Having Education. WASHINGTON, 'Nov. 27.—Estelle Beel, superintendent of Indian schools, has sub- mitted her annual report. She notes a marked advance In industrial training and says the caurse of study pre- seribed has materially assisted Indian youths in learning agriculture as a means of self-support, while the girls have bene- fited by the class room currlculum, which fits them for the duties and responsibilities of the home. s The outing system and the systematic transfer of pupils is strongly recommended. A plea is made for fmproved and better equipped day schdols, which are to glve way to district schools attended by both races. The enrollment in 1902 was 28,610, OFFERS CONTRACTORS' SHIP WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—At the earnest solicitation of the representatives of com- mercial interests at New York the army en- gineers are using their best endeavors to expedite the work on Ambrose channel in New York harbor. g In order to assist the work General Gil- lesple has recommended that one of the army transports be transformed futo a going hydraulic dredge for special use in this project. This recommendation is made in recognition of the fact that the contrac- tor cannot legally be required to increase his plant for the work. At the present rate of progression the work would take ten years to complete. STATE SENATOR = RESIGNS Representative Hall Will Leave Con- Sress on Assuming Office in Pennsylvania.
