Portland Oregon1an.
History does not afford parallel in.
stance Of people who, in losing all in
the hazard Of war, gained so much as has
the Boer race in this late terrible and
protracted conflict. At the beginning Of
their contention with England the Beers
were the most obscure and dfsregarded
race Of European stock on the face Of the
eartn. In the very nature of things, If
they had been let alone the race would
have been overwhelmed and absorbed in
course Of time. But the war which wasted
their country, destroyed their homes,
broke their political independence and
nearly decimated their numbers has given
the race new and probably permanent
lease Of life. It has emphasized their
special people in the worlds respect, and
secured for them under the strongest
guarantees self government with the per-
petuation of conditions calculated to pre-
serve their laws and language, and with
such provision in ready money for the
restoration Of their homes and farms as
will enable them to replace an antiquated
and wornout system with one better suit
ed to this age and to the progress Of their
country. No other country ever found
itself possessed through defeat Of such
striking advantages. No other race ever
so established it's character and secured
a fixed and honorable status In the world
through the process Of losing it's indie
pendent national existence.

POSTAL POINTS
A Few Things You May Have Known and
Forgotten.


Postal Service gives the following USE
full points about the handling of mails:
Do not hold your mail until the closing
of business, but mall it at frequent inter-
walls during the day.
Stamped envelopes, which have been
spoiled by misdirection or other cause, and
which have not been Cancelled, if in
whole condition, will be redeemed for the
value of the postage on them, payable in
stamps.
Mail matter deposited On the top Of the
letter box is not in the custody Of the
postoffice. It is almost of daily occurrence
to receive packages which have been de-
posted in this manner with the stamps
torn off the wrapper by dishonest per-
sons. .'--'
It is of daily occurrence that letters in
tended for registration are received with
the ordinary mail. Demand Of your mes
sengers the receipt of this office, which is
always given for matter that is presented
at the registry window for registra ton.
Otherwise your letter or parcel may not
be registered.
When mail matter is returned to the
sender for more postage or for better dt-
rections, care should be taken to erase the
rubber stamp impression put on by the
postoffice before again placing the article
in the mail, or, better still, new envelope
or wrapper should be used.
Letters for delivery in the United
States, Canada or Mexico will be forward
ed if one full rate Of postage 1.-TWO cents)
is paid even if they be overw weight. Let
tiers to all other foreign countries will be
forwarded without postage, but on their
arrival at destination will be charged with
double unpaid postage, which must be
paid by addresee before delivery.
Merchants and others desiring to mail
circulars, catalogues and other mail mat
ter in quantities of 1000 or more can Sc
cure the use Of the United States mail
sacks upon the condition that matter to
be sent is separated by states according
to addresses. This privilege can only be
secured by calling at the postoffice and
signing a contract to be responsible for
the return of the sacks.
