Washington, July 10. People who
livU in the country districts OF Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jer-
sey and the New England States are
just beginning to hear of the new order
OF the Pcstoltioe Department making It
part Of the duty of the star route mail
carriers to deliver mali in boxes put up
by patrons along the route.
The first effect is a general proteet
from the carriers. The box feature Ia
proving quite popular but every new
box which is set up means an extra
stop for tine carrier and a little longer
time on thu trip. The carriers had
ample notice, but they did not figure
that their work would be Increased
materially. Now they think they should
be given mora time between stations.
The department 10 disposed to be
reasonable and will encourage the
growth of the box service.
Over 6,000 contracts have been
awarded in the States abnve mentioned.
They involve the expenditure OF over
81, GOO, 900 year, and they run for four
years. In letting them Postmaster. Gem
eral Smith instituted a reform, which.
while 1T has increased the cost of the
service, will meet with considerable
local approval. The speculative bidder
in star routes has been cut out. II has
long been the custom of certain parties
living in or near Washington 10 bid on
all the star routes advertised; and.
frequently, the department has let as
many as thousand routes to one man.
lnis time the circular contained a pro.
vision that the bidder N u.s. be resi-
dent OF the town or county Were the
route is situated or must nqree to

cut out the middleman and enabled the

over fiye cents a mile for every mile
travelled by the carrier, while on the
regular rural routes tho carriers are
paid six and half cents mile. Tho
rural routes have increased in number
until there are now nearly !, 500, aud
the cost OF their maintenance may be
judged from the fact that last years
appropriation of 81, $50, ZOO was in
creased by the last appropriation bill
to s3, 500, 600. The mileage of the rural
service is now about liz, 300. Nearly
$1,000 a day is paid the carriers who
travel it, or over 81, 600, COO year.
An order has been issued by the
Postmaster General forbidding rural
free delivery carriers becoming the
agents of mercantile establishments or
of express companies. The real pui-
pose OF this order is to prevent a prsc-
ttce of which there has been great COM
plant, namely, the introduction of
liquor by the rural carriers into pro-
hibition or local option districts.
