Agents of the Union Pa cific are In a quandry as to methods used, despite several circulars issued, and many rush telegrams have been received ask ing what action should be taken on many kinds of shipment The excess baggage shipments are the most trying. One flustered agent In a Wyoming town wired to the legal de partments stating he waa sending a dog; as excess baggage and that he he didn't know where to place the revenue stamp, as no bill of lading waa attached to the dog and the stamp could not be placed on the dog, as Its wool was fuaxy. He was advised to stick the stamp on the baggage check, where It belongs. Another agent wanted to know if the stamp should be placed on the bill of lading or on the shipping check.

Mr. Kieser was called the next morning to find out whether the extra postage indi cated special delivery or was Intended as a registry fee, and then the war of wards began over the telephone. Kieser soon learned that he had can celled tha stamps when he marked across them.
