insufficient postage.
I'VE have been almost showed under
with CHRISTMAS HERALDs,n said the post
master, but with the exception OF those
held for insufficient stamps, they are now
well out of the way"
The sign above was displayed in a con
splcuous place IN the postotfice all day yes
terday. BY night the mountain of detained
packages had been reduced TO about fifty,
by people who saw the. warning, and
handed over the necessary amount OF post
age. The HERALD gave orders last even
ing that all detained copies mailed up to
this morning should be forwarded at its eX-
pense, but all who mail copies from now on
are warned that they must put on the full
amount of stamps orJheir papers win never
see the outside of Uncle Sans house of de-
tepton.
The, wholesale way in which the public
took the great, big edition off TIE
HERALD'S hands, was decided gratifica-
tlon ana this paper returns all its thanks.
1t cost goodly sum of money and some
rather tall work to turn out an edition of
that sort, but the reception it met with was
all the recompense that could be desired.
Newsboys and news stands Qate as some
OF the latter were served owing to the pell
nell rush of the former), real estate men,
railroad men, bankers, miners, mer-
chants and the public generally bought
all the way from one to 500 copies, and in
Ogden, Provo, Logan, Nephi, Park City,
American Fork and Lehi, and through
Idaho and Wyoming. the demand was very
large. San Francisco, Denver and Los
Angeles news stands multiplied their usual
orders by five, eight and ten. The latest
mail last night still brought handsome or
ders.
Here are some of the stray opinions
picked up on the street by HERALD men
since Christmas

is very handsome magazine, very, and re-
fleets well on your enterprise.
Postmaster Benton-It ought to be pro-
hlblted for o5Structing the mails.

time.
Heber j. Grant writes from New York

son to feel proud of its holiday number. 1t

wanted two dozen copies to distribute
among people interested in Salt Lake.
Hon. John w. Young and Spencer Claw
son, who saw copies in New York, are en-
IuuSLdSIlC over JI6 paper.
Josiah Barnett cashier of Mccormick g.
Colts well gotten up thing, and the
cuts of Salt Lakes buildings should
do the city great deal of good
The best thing about the book is
the shape its contents are gotten up in.
They will all be read AS | see the aim has
been to get the facts as briefly and con
cisely as possible, in readable form, and not
encountered with the usual mass of stats
tics, figures and tables, which the average
reader never looks at 1t ought to be
valuable advertising medium.
