Says Delivery Service Can Be I'm
proved if Boxes or Mail Slots are
Provided.
CAN'T WRITE DON'TOPEN' ON GIFT
Confusion and Delay Resulted From
Experience Last Year and New
Order is Given.

Mail your presents early, but you
must not write Don't open until
Christmas.
If you want your mail delivered
promptly, conveniently provide &C.
cessible boxes or cut a slot through
the door.
These two tips are today given the
public by Postmaster Anton Erick.
son.
Special attention is called to the
Christmas package problem with the
added warning that there must be
no writing except the address if the
parcels are to 90 at the low rates.
Last year, the government permit
ted the words, Don't open until
Christmas" to be written. The
scheme resulted in endless confusion
and much complaint because many
wrote this upon the inner wrapper
instead of upon the cover.
Wherever this was done parcels
had to be sent at the first class rate,
instead of at third or fourth class.
This added tax upon the sender was
needless and occasioned complaint.
Postmaster Erickson makes an ap-
peal to those who are sending gifts
to send them early but adds the
warning not to print or stamp the
caution about opening anywhere ex-
cept on the outside. These words
can be put on with a rubber stamp
or pasted on with stickers.
The request for box for the re.
ceipt of mail is due to the fact that
private receptacls would mean a
quicker delivery service.
cit has been shown by actual
experience" said Postmaster
Erickson, "that the benefits de-
rived by patrons of the city de-
livery from the use of such re-
ceptacles far outweigh the small
expense involved. AS this office
is interested in furnishing the
hest Doceihle service at the 1eact
expense, your compliance with the
foregoing suggestions would be
much appreciated. The practice
of making the carrier ring door,
bells and wait delayed answers
causes unnecessary tardiness."

SEES BLESSING in FLAMES
Weekly Region Declares More Clearing
Resulted Than Could Have Been
Done in Years.

Baudette is to have modern $780,
900 hotel, theater, stave mill and
new railroad, according to the cur
rent issue of the Rainy River Region,
which is published in the fire swept
town.
The Region has made investiga.
ton which causes it to believe that
the fire was, after all, a blessing in
disguise. 1t says:
although they have paid terrible
price for it, the homesteaders of the
burned area will find themselves in
better shape within two years than
they would had there been no fire.
THE country between Baudette
and Cedar Spur, which used to be
heavily timbered, now resembles a
prairie. The fire did more clearing
in two hours than the entire popula-
ton could have done in years."
The Region is extremely optimis.
tic on this point and says beautiful
farms are to replace the forest of six
weeks ago.
The new railroad, according to
the Region. will be brought about
by the Canadian Railway company,
which is to secure control of the
Backus and Brooks road, which was
built last year to Loman, village on
the Rainy river, forty.five miles
above Baudette. 1t is the intention
of the new owners to extend the
road to Baudette and connect with
the road here next spring. All wheat
and other freight for Duluth will be
run over this road, thus avoiding the
sixty mile run through Canada.
The Baudette Commercial Club
has taken up the matter of getting
a new hotel and has assurances
from men who promise to put up
a structure to cost not less than
$50, 900.
Minneapolis capitalists have
decided to erect the stave mill
which is to employ 80 men for
eleven months out of the year.
Slaves of all kinds will be made,
boxes, cigar boxes and all receipt
acles of this kind.
Charles Miller is to erect the the
alter which will be 10Ox4O.
