The Postoffice Department has ordered a general weighing of al! matter handled at each of the 76,000 offices throughout the country. This will continue for 35 days, be-9 ginning October 3rd. A similar effort was made during Mr.

administra- tion of the department, but was unsuccess- fut. Postmaster-General purpose is to determine two things: The weight of the mail bandied each day, and tbe percentage which goes daily to the railroads, the steamboats and star route carriers. i Congressmen have at various times repre- seated to the depart meat that sums paid i the railroads for carrying mail mutter were 1 vastly in excess of other freight or express 1 rates. Some of them have calculated that it amounts to eight cents per pound. With tbe facts to be obtained from weighing the mails, 1 the Postoffice Department will be abie speak authoritatively.

At present the mails sent by rail are weigh- I ed every four years, those in of the 1 1 country being weighed each year. This makes it impossible to determine accurately 1 at any time tbe amount of mail shipped on any particular day. County Meeting The County Commissioners were in session Tuesday will Messrs.
