The Pest Once.

Sept. % 1850, the Congress of the
United States passed an act for the
establishment of u national post.
office system, and that prince of prac.
tical men, Benjamin Franklin, was
appointed first Postmaster General.
Previously some of the colonies had
made attempts to provide for postal
service. In 1857, the Virginia legis.
lature passed an act requiring plant.
ers to furnish a man and horse 10
forward letters from plantation to
plantation, under penalty of being
fined a hogshead of tobacco. In 1872
a 'monthly post" was started be
tween New York and Boston. From
1902 to 1909 the following were letter
! postage rates: 30 miles, 6 cents; 60
miles, 8 cents; 100 miles, 10 cents;
$50 miles, IL cents; 2OO miles, Is
cents; $50 miles II cents; $50 miles,
90 cents; $50 miles. % cents; owe
$50 miles Is cents. These rates were
pretty nearly prohibitory. In l845,
the rate was reduced to S cents for
distances under 300 miles; over that
distance 10 cents. In 1850, the rate
was made 3 cents on prepaid letters,
5 cents on not prepaid, under 5000
miles; over that distance, double
rates. October Z. 1883. the letter rate
was reduced to 2 cents for any dis.
lance in the United States. In 1875,
the estimate of the Post Office de.
partment indicated 4 profit of $4,000.
600 on letter mail, but a loss of SILL.
100000 on papers and packages. Two
out of three post offices do not pay
the expenses of maintenance. The
most rapid developement, however,
has been in the railway mail ser.
vice. Whole trains of specially
built cars, similar to the "fast mail"
on the Burlington route from Chi.
cago to Denver, over a thousand
miles. fly daily across the country.
while a force of clerks distribute
letters and papers OH the way. The
United States mail service brings the
whole people into quick communi.
cation, and we could hardly exist
without it, but the mail is only one
of many services the railroads rem.
der the people. If you would have
at your command the most elegant
and comfortable means Of modern
travel, purchase your tickets always
via the Burlington, of any ticket
agent, or address W. j. G. Kenyon,
