Around the World for Two Cents

IN October /, 19OS there quietly went into effect
~ postal schedule reducing the rate on letters
from this Country to England from cents to 2
cents. Some of you may have been unaware of the
fact and still paying postage your let
ters unless notified by your postmaster. 1t is quite
reduction and that will benefit a very large
class of people, yet the large increase in correspond
will doubtless soon bring the income from this
up what it has been before the reduction
In every case where there has been reduction in
postage in this country, not only has it brought
widely separated people into closer business and
friendly relations, but the deficit has short time
been overcome by the vast increase in correspond
ence. So this cent rate to England is another
marked step in making the world grow smaller
letter will now go around the world for two
cents. Suppose you are in San Francisco and mail
a letter to friend in London England. Our cent
stamp adorned with the benign features of the father
of country is its safe passport thither. But
perhaps your friend has left for Dunedin, New Zea-
land, having left instructions have his mail for
warded The same cent stamp is still good for
its further passage to New Zealand If on arriving
there it finds your friend has perchance left for the
States, the letter will follow him, via San Francisco
completing the circuit of the earth.
New Zealand, foremost in civilized cooperation,
has for years had | penny & cents) rate
of postage to England and the United States There
is no doubt that this new move of our postoffice
department will bring into closer touch with Eng
land and many ways we shall feel the closer grip
of hands across the sea.
Some facts about the postal rates of the past may
be of interest. Under the of congress of March
81, 1925, the postal rates single letter which
should consist of sheet of paper cents
for distance not 80 miles; from 80 to so miles.
10 cents; from 80 to $50 miles, 12Iz cents; from $50
to 400 miles, 1874 cents; 400 miles, Is cents; if
the letter consisted to two pieces of paper double
these rates charged and if three pieces, triple
rates; letters weighing were four times
these rates and pro rata for any greater weight 1t
required considerable knowledge of geography to be
postmaster in those days.
But with the settling of the country and the i'm
provement of methods of conveyance, communication
facilities were increased With marvellous speed the

OF their mammoth enterprise part of the history
of the west. The establishment of stations for the
relays, the providing OF horses and provisions the
difficulties of the route, hostile Indians and bandits
all read like the dime novel of our youth Mark Twain
has given perhaps the most graphic account OF it
in his "Roughng It., pcturing the headlong race of
the riders from St. Joe to Sacramento Eighty riders
were in the saddle day and night, half going east

The unique stamps which the Wells Fargo & Co.
sold to prepay letters have become so scarce as to
be unfamiliar to most people. They ranged in value
from 10 cents to S4 and represent the typical pony
rider at full speed. few are found from time to
time that have been preserved old letters but they
are scarcer than ever since the San Francisco FIRE
destroyed so many old files and archives
1t was less than 20 years ago that Sir Rowland Hill
came into prominence through his staunch advocation
of penny postage and that the first postage stamp
