Parties who mail THE CHRISTMAS HERALD
in the Ogden postoffice and are required by
the postoffice officials of that Office to pay s
cents per copy, are hereby notified that
they are paying double postage. THE SALT
LAKE HERALD is entered at the postoffice at
Salt Lake city as second class matter, and
no - 5master can legally exact the third
-Gliss rate of postage for it's transmission
through the mails. The Christmas edition
of The HERALD is an extra and enlarged
edition of the paper, and is neither book
nor d periodical. 1t is No 11S of Volume
Xxx of THE SALT LAKE HERALD, no more
and o less. The Ogden postoffice is proba-

such laundering would be possible; but it
is in line with the general management of
that public ms tuition. The responsible
head of the Office has been confined to his
bed for long time, and during his absence
the management has been worse, if posi-
BILE, than before. There is no good reason for
the unsatisfactory condition Of affairs in
this important office. The government has
made an ample allowance IN this case for
providing the Office with first class assist
ance, so that the work could be performed
to the satisfaction of the public and the
department. AS matter of fact that can
not be gaiusaid, the service given is of
the poorest and not satisfactory either 10
the department or the public, and he
would be on the extreme verge of truth
who would assume to assert to the con-
