WASHINGTON. D. C, Msy 17. -While
official and congressional Interest seem
ingly appears to be centered on postal
reforms, such as rural parcels poet, steel
msll cars and other hard fought re
forms, a mall exchange device known
as the Hupp System Is gTettlng censlder
sble attention and Is being clsoely
watched by poetofflee and congressional
officials.
The 'Hupp Automatic Mail Exchange
company, which owns and conrota this
system, haa Its own specially equipped
msll car and Is demonstrating Its suto
matlc system for delivering and collect
ing mall sacks on the Chesapeske Beech
railroad outside of the city limits. Sev
eral runs were made yestsrday before
government officials snd members of the
house committee on post roads, and
their sstonlshment and commendation
wss very much In evidence. What
seemed to impress them most was the
marvelous accuracy and expedition with
which the Hupp system handled mall
pouches and sacks.
Diversity le Prwvea.
To prove the diversity of the system,
ths Inventor hung man pouebes on the
cranes and msde a delivery without
touching the pouches while the train
travelled fifty miles an hour, and on the
next run at the same speed made a col
lection scooping the pouches wtth light
ning rapidity and precision from the
rrsnea into the mall car without delivery.
To futther demonstrate the automstic
features of the system he requested that
no one outade of two members ride In
the mail car on the next run. J. J.
Gardner and James T. Lloyd, members
of the pootroed committee, volunteered
snd on leaving the car after the n
their amazement could plainly be seen.
They seemed highly elated that such a
good thing was tn store for the service.
Mae PerrVet fleas Made.
Yesterday nine perfect runs were made
In the phenomenal time of thtrty-ftve
minutes, averaging less thaa few min
ute to the run. snd these connected
with the operation clstm thst the record
has not yet been attained. Out of nine
runs, curat deliveries were made aggre
gating In weight. 1.S4 pounds, and seven
collections were made aggregating la
weight. U pounds. Standard pouches
were need. The heaviest pooch caught
weighed e pounds, one peach to ths
crane, six cranes being need. Those la
authority claim that the Hupp system
for handling mail la a century In advance
of anything slse of this eharaoier. and
unquestionably marks an epoch In ths
development of railway msll service.

tries Already there Is talk of a new line of
road Into the fields. If It Is built It will
be from Casper and t ure Is an Intima
tion that it will b hacked by either
the Northewestsrn or tlie Burlington. It
Is sstd that up to this time the pipe
line from the fields Into t'usixr has been
taking care of the oil from the wells In
operation, but the Sand Creek atrlke Is
toe much for this line to handle. It it
also 'figured that, as the country Is level
between Casper and the fields, a road
could be constructed at a cost that would
be but little more than thst of n pipe j
line and It would handle business both
ways, whereas ths pipe line csn only
carry oil from the wells to ths refineries.
