A patron on San Juan Island writes
as as follows:
"The Postmaster at San Juan has
refused to put newspapers in the mail
bag for this place, without they have
postage stamps on them, and in conse-
quence your papers for this place do not
reach here. but are now lying in the San
Juan post office. l wish you would

We cannot realize that our CORES
pondent is correct in his statement.
His paper, and all the others for San
Juan Island are pat in the Seattle post
office, and the postage paid on them.
They go ont of it in mail bags, and
down the Sound on mail steamers.
There is nothing whatever irregular in
their transportation, and the San Juan
postmaster. nor any other man, has
neither reason nor right to call them
int question. They have gone right
along in this way for months and
years, and that there should now be a
disturbance is beyond credenoe. Our

again making inquiry at his home office
and giving Us the result.
