Record Without Precedent.

The receipts for the last quarter
of the year 1907, for the first time
since the postoffice was established
in Salem passed the $4,000 mark,
when it totalled $12,23S.67 and, with
the exception of the quarter ending
June 80, 1909, when the receipts
dropped down to $9,25S.51, there
never has been since that time a
quarter in which the postal receipts
did not exceed the $4,000 figure.
The previous record for receipts of
any one quarter in the history of the
office was that of the quarter ending
March 81, 1909, when they reached
a grand total of S15,013.75, which
was doubtless due to the heavy postal
business resulting from the session of
the legislature, and the nearest ap-
proach to this record was the re-
ceipts for the quarter ending June
80, 1910, when they amounted to
$11, ,S6O.14. The receipts for the
first quarter of the present year were
11,S60.60.
The heavy postage in prospect for
the present month, due to the dis
tribution of over $4,000 initiative
measure and corrupt practices pam
phlets incident to the approaching
primary and general elections, which
alone will amount to over $4,000 in
the aggregate, in addition to the
normal amount OF postal business,
and that which usually comes with
the holiday season will swell the total
receipts for the year 1910 consider
ably above the 100000 point which
will raise the office to the third
grade of the first class. second only
to the postoffice in Portland, and far
and away above that OF any other
city in the state and many in the
These figures are taken
from the records compiled and kept
on file by Postmaster Farrar.

TALK WELL OF. YOUR CITY
story Of . Young Name Experience
That Points Z lssson TO citlzsns
Of Every Community.

The Toronto Mail recounts tho
story Of young man. citizen Of
the Dominion. who recently visited
several cities Of the states. He
brought back with him some impress.
sions Of one Of our cities In particu.
lsr-Minneapolis. Minn-and in the
opinion Of our contemporary Canadian
cities might consider his Views with
great profit. The truth u.s., the lesson
Of this young mans experience should
prove as interesting to communities
on this as on the other side Of the
border. It amounts to this. that
everybody he met In Minneapolis
spoke we'll Of the town. "Of the many
people he met there" says our In.
formant. he found not ono who was
not enthusiastic about the city. The
conversation seldom ended without
the other party giving It a turn to
the popular theme-Minneapolis.
Nov. this young man not only
listened In Minneapolis to praise Of
lts places Of interest. its progress. Its
prospects. It's advantages as an In.
dustrial center. as . place Of resi-
dence. and so on. but he stored these
things In his mind. took them over to
Toronto. talked to the editor Of the
Mail and Empire about them. and got
the latter interested In them to the
extent that he sat down and wrote an
editorial extolling handsomely the
civic pride Of the Minnesota city.
THE lesson the editor draws from
the young Canadians enthusiasm-or
rather the cause Of its that pride
Of city Is something that would be
both becoming and useful on tbs side
Of the line. While Minneapolis 10 not
