LETTER CARRIERS
What Congressman Reed Says About the
Service i'm Portland.

While the House, in committee OF the whole
was debating the amendment to the post office
appropriation bill, increasing the item for the
pay Of letter carrie re-, Mr.. Reed ssid
Mr.. Chairman, confess to feeling a good
deal of interest in the result of the debate on
this item. In my own city know we have
not carriers enough to perform the public du-
ties which are actually needed. 1 know that
in order to make the system what 1t ought to
DO In my city it 10 absolutely necessary to have
three more carriers. know in addition to that
Of my own personal knowledge, that there is
no employee in the service of the government,
who works half as hard as the letter carriers of
the city where live. 1t is such physical exer.
ton resulting from walk, which aggregates
% miles every day. 1t is no wonder the sup
ply Of those officials Ia hardly equal to the de-
mand. 1t lie very difficult indeed for the post
master to obtain men who are willing to take
the place, aud who, at the 81 me time, are
physically fitted for It. 1 submit to the House
that the argument of the gentleman from In
diana (Mr Holm } shows, Oh the facts which
he has stated, that il is the plain duty OF this
House to give the necessary increase of this
item. Their ia such q recognition of their SER
vice on tho part of merchants aud men utter.
ested there are oftentimes contributions gotten
mp In order TO keep them in the service.

fair. There was large number of both skat-

prettily decorated with red, white and blue
streamers, and there was extra music for the
occasion. At nine O'Clock the skaters were
presented with bon-bons, and the lady skaters
with German fayors. Much amusement was
caused by the many grotesque shapes in head
dresses that were drawn from the bon-bcns and
worn by many of the skaters. The next at
