The annual re port of the postmaster general, Issued to day, . rehearses the various suggestions made by hia departmental heads. Sad aays: Free Delivery Enhances Farm Valnes. '." It waa claimed that rural delivery would Inorease the value of farm lands. Official reports Indicate that In communities served by rural free delivery. Isolated farms have been enhanced In value because of that service at an average of at least S per cent In the older settled 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 waa asserted that to bring the farmers Into close touch with the markets would enable them to obtain better prices for their products. Specific Instances have been brought to the attention of 'the department where . the prompt delivery of live stock 'quotations, Indicating a temporary gult In the market, to farmers Intending to ahlp to the stock yards, by enabling them to hold back their shipments till the markets resumed their normal conditions, haa aaved to Individual cattle raisers more than the 'total cost of one year's rural delivery over the routes on .Which they lived. On the other hand, fa many Instancea, Informa tion of an advance In the prices of par ticular farm products has reached - the grower' Intlme 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 waa made that all these material advantages would be equaled it not surpassed by the social 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 ot keeping abreast with the rest of the world, through the dally receipt of his newspapers and corre spondence, aa had hitherto been enjoyed exclusively by the city man. How thor oughly these features of the service have Justified the clalma made In their behalf la 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 postofflce, and a large proportion of them are not able to buy money orers or bank drafts without great inconvenience. It la not unreasonable to expect from the government that It will provide an easy, convenient and aafe method to transmit small sums,, say $2 or leas In amount, without putting the sender to the lnconvenlonce and expense which now ob tain In the purchase of a dratt or postofflce money order. I urge upon congress the Importance of passing some law at aa early a date as possible. Hundreds of thousands of let ters carrying email amounts in ailver or postage stamps are transmitted every year through the malls. - These letters are a constant temptation to those handling them, aa It la easy to Identify letters containing currency. ' ' " With the extension ot the raral frs de ll vsry service to the remote parts of the country, the use of the propossd postal checks XfinM go tar to provide the relief so urgently demanded, as It Would con veniently serve those sections ot the coun try not heretofore covered by or adjacent to money order offices or the banka of the country.

The contrscts for all the star routes in the fourth contract aection, em bracing all the statea and territorlea (three excepted) west of the .Mississippi river, expired June 30, 1902, and new contracts were made for all the star aervlce In those states and territorlea for terms of four years - beginning July 1 last. These new contracts covered 1,037 routes,, . aggregating 110.663 mllea and 48.686.848 of annual travel, the latter bring an Increase" of 2,007.838 miles, pr 4.30 per cent, over, the' annual trave under the old contracts. '' The average rate per mile traveled under the old contracts waa 4.83 cents; under the new contrscts It waa 6.68. At the average rate paid under the " new contract a contractor ' traveling twenty-two miles each week day would receive a fraction over 11.44 per day, or 3153.10 per annum. These contracts, were let only to those persona who agreed to reside on or contiguous to their routes and to give their persons! supervision to the performance of the service, and nearly all the contracts provide for delivering mail Into boxes along the routes wherever the people desire such aervlce.

As the malls on these routea in tbe win ter time must be carried by dog teams and sleds, the weight is limited during- the winter, but the contracta provide for carry ing the malls by steamers during the sum mer aeason on the Tukon without limit' of weight as often aa tha ateamera may run, wnicn win be more frequently than the malls are carried at other seasons. There Is a connecting route from Nome to Una laklik, 230 miles, also an overland route from Eagle to the southern coast at Valdex. 413 miles, twice a month.

At the doe ot the year there were 1,350 lines of traveling postofflees, covering 178.- 796 miles in length. Tbe number of clerks employed was 9,781, annuat travel by them In cara 221,689,999 mllea. To accomplish this 1,785 cara and apartments were used en the steam roads, besides twenty-four oars on the electric lines under ths super vision of the railway mall aervlce, and eighty-three apartments on steamboats. It Is estimated that these clerks handled 15,062.830.640 plecea ot ordinary mall and 24,174,174 packagea and caaea of registered mall. The errors by clerks in handling the mall as reported Indicate but one error made for every 11,602 plecea correctly dis tributed. There were 286 casualties to mall cars last year. In which either mall or clerks were Injured. Nine clerks were killed snd eighty-eight seriously and 202 altgbtly in jured. In the appropriation act for the current year prevision waa made for ths first time authorlxtng the postmaster gen eral to pay to the legal representatives of any railway postal clerk killed on duty $1,000. This afforded a much needed relief and eupplements the practice of the de partment to continue to pay a clerk Injured while on duty hia full salary for one year. Legislation la needed for the protection of railway postal clerka while In tbe dis charge of their duties. New and Improved service In lines of full railway postofflce cars or apartment cars during the last fiscal year waa ap plied to 34.605 miles, which Is In excess of the record of any previous year. Addi tional car space was provided on lines SRgregatlng over . 8,000 miles In length. New trains at a high rate of speed have been placed in operation on aeveral of the trunk lines, furnishing greatly improved schedules for te movement of the mails, and by the extension ot other lines new connections have been developed for the more expeditious transmission of mails to and from Important sections et the country. Wacea Raised As;ala. While no general law has been enacted by congresa for the reorganisation and re classification of the railway mall service, much haa been done In various appropria tion bills- ' The salaries of clerks of the 11,200 and $1,400 classes, which for yeara were reduced by reason ot restrlcteJ ap propriations to amounts less than the maxi mum allowed by lift, have been restored. A , higher class, at $1,600 per annum, baa been created for chief clerks and allow ances havs been made for their traveling expenses.. A still higher clasa, at. $1,800 per annum, has been established for as- I slstant division superintendents and pro vision made for their traveling expenses. Tha salaries ot division superintendents have been increased, fifteen days annual leave has been granted to clerka perform ing dally aervlce, provision haa been made to pay $1,000 to , the families of clerks killed in tbe line of July, and provision has been made tor tbe promotion of clerks on the heavier apartment lines from $1,000 to $1,100 per annum and for the promotion of assistant chief clerka and a number of clerks on full railway postofflce lines op erating more than one car to a train from $1,200 to $1,300 per annum. A change haa been made In the distribu tion and dispatch of registered matter that, will result In shortening the transit time of that claas Of matter without affecting Its security. The scheme for the distribu tion of registered matter bave been changed so as to avoid 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 pieces. A system' of through registered pouches to be made up by the clerks ot the larger lines haa been inaugurated, and epeclal equipment haa been furnished with which to make such exchanges. Bar Stamp Books Readily. The increase in the demand for stamps bound in books waa very great. The num ber of books issued waa 7,093,274, containing 124,468,488 2 cent stamps, which is 61 per cent more books than were Issued the pre ceding fiscal year. The profit to the gov ernment was $43,402.92. ' New designs covering the entire series of adhesive and embossed stamps, are In course of preparation. It la expected that they will be ready for issue during the coming winter. The new stamps will be much more artistic than those of the pres ent series, and will bear the namr of the subject with ' the years of birth and death. 7 -. Retarn Poatal Cards Waatsd. . The subject of (return postal cards and envelopea haa been puich discussed by the public and considered 'in : tbe). department. Tbe four assistant 4o the postmaster gen eral and ths. aiidtobr for the Postofflce de partment were appointed a committee to conatder thla aubjeot. a ad report upon tbe feasibility cf adopting aa experimental plan. Tour attention la respectfully called to the report of thla commission transmitted here with. After having given the aubject careful consideration and . believing that It haa great merits, I. have arrived at the conclu sion that it la very questionable whether; under the law as ft now stands, tho depart ment ia authorized, to put in operation any system which does not provide for the pre payment ot postage by the affixing of stamps. . I recommend the' passage ot a law con ferring upon the department specific au thority to Introduce the -system ot reply postal carda and envelopes, It la the dis cretion of, the . department it shall be deemed wise.
