r. F. D. Great Benefit.

The rural mail delivery system
is still growing, and the popular
ity OF the service is sttested by
the many letters that daily reach
the post Office department in COM
mendation OF the effects of the
establishment of routes all over
the country, as we'll as by the
thousands OF petitions received
tor the establishment of new
routes. On July first there were
32,o5S rural routes in operation,
an increase of 7,4o2 over the
corresponding period of last year.
Plans are being made to number
the boxes on the routes some
what like the boxes in a post
office.
MANY are the benefits of rural
free delivery. Small rural towns
have been converted into cities
and property values have en-
hanced by reason of the increased
convenience to all dwellers along
the routes. The highest COM
pliment paid the service, however,
is that which it is receiving as a
factor in the education of the peo-
pie throughout the land. 1t is
certainly keeping the rural resi-
dent abreast of the times, no
matter how distant he may be
from the city.
Among the modern advantages
and improvements devised for
human comfort and convenience
that of rural free mail delivery is
a great factor in making country
life more attractive to both young
and old, thus having a tendancy
to keep the people on the farms
and also to turn urban residents
"baek to the land"

time last spring. Johnnie ar
rived in this section in company
with a band of hobos and was
placed in the city bastile along
with the others of his set by our
city authorities. Hearing that a
mere lad was in the "jug" the
compassion of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
D. DeVarney, who were then in
this city in charge Of the Inde-
pendent telephone line, but who
are now in Portland, was aroused
and they went to the lads rescue.
So successful were they that
Johnnie was soon breathing pure
air and some of the accumulated
dirt was removed from his person.
Nor was this all-the boy was
given work by the phone COM
pany. But he did not possess
an aptitude for work and after a
few months he was given hearty
"God peeds" On his departure
to join his relatives.
But Johnnie has been heard
from again. Not long ago J. c.
Lowe, who is at present in
charge of the business of the In
dependent telephone company of
this city, received a letter from
Sanborn, Vale & Co, of San
Francisco, stating that one John
ME Wadieigh had applied to
them for a position and as his
people were not in good circum-
stances, financially, they felt in
clined to do what they could for
him if he was deserving. John
ME had referred them to the In
dependent telephone people of
Corvallis that they might satisfy
themselves that he was all and
more than he purported to be.
Johnnie's usefulness to his
benefactors during his sojourn
within the confines of this city
was not so marked as circum-
stances warranted. For one
thing he became noted-that was
his ability along terpsichorean
lines. He was fond of "hoeing
it down" to the inspiring tunes of
some phonograph and when OPP
portunity presented was always
to be found iudulging in this
favorite pastime, surrounded by a
throng of admirers. As a matter
of fact, Johnnies' legs seemed
double-jointed and TOR nimbleness
were 2o.century marvels. He
also possessed in an abnormal de-
gree, for one SO young, a sense of
| rythm,
Considering all these facts and
estimating Johnnie's probable
usefalness to, Sanborn, Vale &
Co., Mr.. Lowe wrote them that
if they would put clogs on john
ME and sand the floor he would
prove a drawing card and an en-
tertainer of the first magnitude.
