unlikely that Astoria hal an earth

origin Of the Railway Mail.

An officer of a great railway sys-
tenn who has worked his way up
from the bottom was rummaging
the other day. and found a memo
randum which is the basis of what
follows;
"This men, be said, "dates
back to the genesis OF the railway
mail. The man who made the first
step in this wonderful improvement
was, unless l am very much mis-
taken, the Democratic postmaster
in ST. Joseph, Mo, at the breaking
out Of the civil war. HE was APP
pointed by Buchanan.
The Pony Express. which was
also started from St. Joseph. sug-
gested to the postmaster a crude ar
rangement from which was evolved
our present railway system. The
postmaster found il necessary to
arrange his mail so that it could be
handled quickly on the arrival and
departure OF the Pony Express rider.
ale rugged up a lot of pigeon
holes in an old dry goods box, and
put il where he could have the mail
at the ends Of his fingers. Each
pigeonhole was labeled with tie
name OF a postofiee.
''Soon after this arrangement, a
similar one was rugged up in the
baggage car of a railroad train, and
the man in charge distributed his
mail for towns along the line by
putting it into the pigeouholes in a
pine box.
"Crude as that was. il facilitated
business. Il was the cue FOR the
inventive genius who improved up
on il, and, OF course, his improve
ments have been improved upon
until we have now the best railway
mail system in the world.
''All this has been brought about
within the reeollselion Of men who
are not yet old. From one man
who experimental with it the ser
vice has grown so that it now re-
qaires a force Of twenty-five ihous-
and men.
"ItI am correct abou, the post
master who started The idea, his
name was Davis, and be was a ns-
tive OF Richmond, New
