BY the third section of the act Of Congress emit.
tied "An act to establish certain post routes, APP
proved August Ia, lS4s," the Postmaster General
was authorized TO appoint postmasters at places on
the Pacific, in California and to appoint agents for
making arrangements for the establishment Of post
offices and conveyance Of mails in California and
Oregon. Under this act, early November,
1913, postmaster was appointed for San Francisco,
and agents were appointed and sent ON that bust
ness. That postmaster entered on his duties, and
for a time attempted their discharge; but finding,
he writes, no sufficient income for the expense of
room and assistance, even Tor his support, he re-
signed. No report from those agents has ever been
received In April last another agent was cent, who
Immediately departed and entered upon his duties;
and also another postmaster for San Francisco, who
has also arrived there; and from information re-
ceived from them and others, there is good reason
to believe that all reasonable cxertions being
made to give to the people there all the mail facii
ties the limited means legally applicable will af-
ford.
The laws regulating the post officc duties ayd
service in many respects III adapted TO the cir
curnstanccs and condition of that country Many
letters have been sent there for persons passing the
overland route and, If the we're TO be treated
dead letters at the end Of the second quarter after
their arrival they would be sent back before these
persons would arrive there. Indeed the sending as
dead letters 20 the Department here these letters
mailed from one office 70 another in California,
would be worse than useless. No sufficient pecu-
MARY means at the command Of the Department
for this service.
The price Of labor or personal service, and the
rent required for Office room, such that no allow
ance now authorized by law secure post Office
in California. Nor the mails be transported
within the country Tor any compensation which the
postage received there will furnish. No sufficient
returns have been eved by which 20 determine the
expense Of what has already been done, but IL fully
appears that provision must be made much beyond
the yield Of the postage there 10 meet the cost Of
