YOUR CHRISTMAS NAIL

Christmas comes this year on
Monday, and while it is a holiday
the rural carriers will make the
rounds that day in order to deliver
everything. There are SO many
packages from Santa Claus Land in
the mails Christmas morning that
Uncle Sam and the carriers cannot
rest until they are delivered. We
suggest that people living out along
the routes take into consideration
the generosity of the carriers in civ"
ing up this day for the pleasure of
the people on their routes, and see
that something is left in the mail box
without any address on so the carrier
will have something to ponder over
and to bite into while he is riding to
the next box. 1t will make him feel
like it is really Christmas If he finds
something along the way to show
that his faithful services are remem-
bered and appreciated. We believe
each boy and girl who is looking for
package in the mail will think it
over to see what he has that he can
divide with the carrier, not giving
him too much of it, but just enough
to show that he is kindly remem-
bered.
The City Carriers
The city carriers will not make the
rounds on Sunday nor Monday. They
will not go on Sunday because it is
Sunday, and they will not go on
Monday because they would not be
able to carry what accumulated in
two nights and a day. They have
decided to be at the delivery window
at the rear of the room by the letter
drop, on Sunday from 10 until II
o'clock to serve all who are in the
habit of having their mail delivered
by carrier, and on Monday they will
be there from 10 until II, so if you
will just go early and get in line you
will be able to get your packages.
Remember, you are going to get ex-
cited over something that morning
and have such a good time about it
that you may forget to go to the Of
flee until about eleven minutes to
twelve, and If there are lot of you
who do that the carriers will have to
choose between disappointing some
body they have engagements with,
and closing the window with a bunch
of you looking in through the win
dow SO pleadingly it would break
their hearts to go home thinking of
it. 1t always makes a carrier feel
bad il he does not have any mail
for you when he knows that you are
expecting it, and he will be just as
anxious as you are to have you get
everything there is for you at Christ
mas time. If package is broken
and it looks like something is lost
out, he will hunt all round and crawl
under the tables and the cases and
feel in wagon load of mail pouches
trying to locate something that will
just fit into that empty place in your
package. Then there will be pack
ages for somebody that will have the
tag or address gone, and everybody
in the office will look it over in an
effort to find out who 1T is for. If
it came from Sheboygan, and there
is no name to show who it came
from, the clerks will probably lie
awake nights trying to think who
there Is in town that has relatives
or a particular friend at Sheboygan.
You would be surprised to know how
hard the postal clerks work on all
these things, and especially at Christ
mas time. II,

WANT MURPHY AS
CAPTAIN OF CO. |

For the purpose of mastering out
company L, third regiment, O. n. G.,
Major l.. H. Knapp, of the adjutant
generals office. is now here, but from
appearances at this time the COM
mand will be reorganized and
strengthened instead of being muster
ed out.
Since his arrival here Major Knapp
has gone into the status Of the COM
pany and has found that the chief
bane Of the company is inability to
find good men for officers How
ever he believes that he Is in a way
to overcome this difficulty by pre-
vailing upon Captain c. A. Murphy,
superintendent at the branch asylum,
and former captain of company NJ Of
Salem, to take the command. Major
Knapp and Captain Murphy were Of
llccrs together in the famous Second
Oregon and the friendship between
them has continued since that time.
Accordingly the. major looked to the
former Salemite for aid in the task Of
keeping the Pendleton guard com
pany going
According to Major Knapp he has
secured a provisional promise from
Murphy that he will accept the cap
taincy of the local company if it is
continued. That the conditions may
be met is the belief of Major Knapp
and he is bu " today lining things up
for a reorganization meeting to be
held tomorrow evening. All members
Of the company are requested to as
semble at tn armory at that time for
the purpose of discussing the ques-
lion Of continuing the company.
If Captain Murphy will accept the
command Of the company it will
mean the continuance of the Pendle-
ton company and also the subsequent
success Of the organization. During
his service in the Second Oregon and
his later service as captain at Salem.
Mr.. Murphy earned the reputation of
being the most capable captain in the
third regiment and also the most pop
ular officer with his men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Pros-

foreign relations in amending the
arbitration treaty with Great Britain

tween two countries should be re-
ferred to The Hague tribunal. That is
now right of the senate and the
statesmen seemed strongly disposed
to retain 1t.
President Taft, it was said. rath'
er than have the treaties ratified as
amended, prefers they be laid aside
until next session, meantime he will
use his influence to have the para
graph killed. In the executive ses
sion of the senate today a proposal to
have the debate on the treaties in
open session was tentatively discuss

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 12.-Corpora-
lions are using the newly enacted
Colorado referendum constitution
amendment for their own purposes, to
defeat or postpone the operation of
laws distasteful to the states big in
terests. They have filed petition to
refer the Hurd eight hour law, passed
by the last legislature. This measure
was backed by the Western Federation
of Miners. Unless referred, it will
go into effect October 1 next If de-
ferred, it cannot be voted on until the
next general election, which will de-
fer its operation IA months, to the
financial benefit of big coal and metal

President Meyer, OF the Federation,
said tonight that there is no doubt il
referred the bill will become a law,

that they can keep the mines in oper-
alton the next IA months without IN
