Nebraska, PostofHcf aauocond claim matter. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1909. Rural Mail Delivery. To most of ua tho rural letter carrier is a poraonal unit, a modern conven ience who pauses at tho gate once or twlco a day, establishes tho households contact with tho outside world and pnssea out of view and out of thought until tomorrow. But at large tho rural letter carrier numbers an army of 42,000 traveling more than 1,000,000 miles of road each day and Borving 4,000,000 families. Only when wo con sider that tho first experimental routo waB only thirteen years ago and that it is less than ten years since the first full county Borvice was attempted, and we realize with what suddenness this pro digious growth has been acquired. That rural carrier does keep abreast of af fairs is testified to by his flourishing national association, at which recent convention P. V. DeGraw, fourth as sistant postmaster general, reviewed some of the public benefits resulting from the establishment of the service. Looking at tho gain from only tho financial point of view, Mr. DeGraw calculated that tho farmer annually saves $108,000,000 by having his mail brought to tho door instead of going once a week to the postofiko. Since beginning of tho eervico the govern ment has saved $20,000,000 through tho abolition of fourth-class officers and tho star routes. On tho other hand, tho service costs tho government $37,000,000 a year, which is $25,009,000 more than it directly yields in revenue. It ia to bo noted, however, that tho 'system is steadily developing increased patronage. Bee. May Demand Increased Wages.

It is believed the conference related to a demand for an increase in wages, nnd that soon the matter will bo submitted in u referendum to tho members of the vnrlous organizations. It is further said that a referendum vote now is in progress among tho 100,000 or more mcmbors of tho trainmen's and conduc tor's association cast of the Mississippi river. Deaths on Railroads Decreasing. A decrease in tho number of casual ties on rnilroads for tho year ending Juno 30, 1909, is shown by a report published today by the Interstate Com merce commission. During tho year 2,791 persons were killed and (33,920 were injured on rail roads, as against 3,704 killed nnd G8,- 9G9 injured during tho previous fiscal year. This was a decrease of 973 killed and 5,009 injured. Tho report shows that tho number of employes killed in coupling and uncoupling cars and en gines was 32 per cent less than during the fiscal year of 1908. During the three months ending June 30, last, 588 persons were killed nnd 15,307 injured, a decreaso of three in the total number of persons killed and an increase of 2,709 injured, as com pared with tho number repartcd for for tho samo period a year ago. During the quarter there woro 817 collisions and 1,283 derailments, of which 100 collisions and 172 derailments affected passenger trains. Tho total damage to cars, engines and roadways was $1,703,G42. This shows a decrease of thirty in tho total number of colli sions, nnd derailments, as compared with .tho number reported for the same period a year ago. Hershey News. J. W.
