WALDRON ISLAND.

EDITOR THE IsLANDER:-The new
year has come, and still not word

OH Waldron, like lot Of hermits, no
mail or any communication of any
kind have as yet got to the island. It
is strange that the mail service to Wal

vice advances with extraordinary
growth. In the last ten years we nave
more than doubled IN population.
They say that our postal business in
creases much more rapidly than our
population, but that is not the case on
Waldron, for il we could have as regular
q mail service as we have children we
would be satisfied. The postal bust
ness of the country now involves All
expenditure of S1OO, 900, 900 q year, 49,
600 postoffices and enrolls 100000
employees. This remarkable extension
of q service, which is an index OF the
public conditions, presents gratifying
evidence of the advancement of educa-
ton, of the increase of communication
and business activity and OF the i'm
provement of mail facilities, leading to
their constantly augmenting use; but
