Makes a Number of Suggestions For Mailing Letters. Packages. Ytr.. During the Holiday Season Spc. ciai Registration Window To Be Established Here.

pTodCuluS anu With tile sane ru~a
 and congestion on all trains and Post
 offices Of letters and packages intend ed as Gifts for Xmas and these fol-
 lowing suggestions are given in time so that the patrons may guide them selves accordingly.
 Packages and letters for Foreign
 countriea should be mailed now and
 countries which are members of the
 United States Postal Union and have
 parcel post, can be sent at the rate
 of 12c per pound an to IL pounds.
 Valuable letters or packages should
 during this time be by all means Reg
 isteved, which will cost au additional
 Be for Registeration.
 Such letters and packages mailed DOW should reach the Dispatching os-
 ice not later thaa December l4th and in timo to make connections with ships leaving New York, San Francis co or Seattle on a given date.
 Domestic parcels and letters which are of any value at all, such be sent
 by registered mails, which insures the sender of the proper delivery and he
 will get a receipt of it's arrival
 am making this suggestion be- cause of the great accumulation of
 packages and other mail and invite
 attention to the fact that letters and all first class nlatter takes prefer ence over packages not first class and not registered.
 Packages and letters intended fo. destination Of large cities, such as New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Wash dngton, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston and others which should ar- rive there in time for delivery at Xmas time, should be mailed and registered about December 19, which counting on delayed trains etc, will bring the gift there in time Packages should be securely pack R cd, the senders name placed on each k letter and package in the left hand Ecorner in ink, which, if the addressee can not be found, is a safe guard that kpackage will he returned to writer, Sor sender.
 Patrons residing within the juris Adiction of Post office station No. ], aNo. ?, or West End station, would Reonfer favor on the main office if they patronize these Post offices and thereby prevent congestion and long slwaits at the Main office. Station No. is located at the cor liner of East 7th and Ohio Street. Station No. ? is located at the cor l kner of West Pullen street near the Cemetery.
 West End station is located in the store of the Sawyer & Austin Lumber kConpany.
 X special window for registration will be opened during the holiday week beginning Saturday December 18th or earlier if necessary. and will be kept open as long as patrons call, Sunday December 20th this window will also be open for the benefit of the working class, who have not the opportunity to mail their packages during the day.
 Carriers will make two deliveries on Xmas day, and cards left by Car riers' showing that there is package there too large to be delivered can be had by calling.
 Carriers must be prepared at all times to have your parcels( if not too large and cumbersome) registered at your own door and must be prepared to issue you a receipt therefor, the same as you would receive if bring ing same to the Post office. this will save you time and a trip to the office, and I request patrons to take advan- tage of this and thereby save long waits at the window at the office.
 Have your packages properly pre- pared, with street and number, pro- perly tied and ready to be given to the carrier and if he does not know what it costs he will inform you on his return trip.
 Any inattention or refusal on part of the Carrier to do this if reported to me will be appreciated and proper relief will be given.
 This registration of Packages and letters at your own door and resi- dence should be encouraged by the patrons of the office and it certainly would relieve the working force at the main office, during the Holiday sea son.
 By assisting me and the force of this office with the suggestions as outlined above, I assure you that will endeavor to have your presents and mail at the place if destination and dispatch will be made and no
