 While Proprietor Was Away.

Through smoke coming up into the apartments of J. Markow at No. 261 Main street. a fire smoldering in a quilt and mattress was discovered Sunday evening about S.15 o'clock in a room occupied by $. Silverberg in the basement Of the building on the corner of Main and Ferry streets. The fire department Was called and the mat tress was thrown into the street by Fireman David Fitzgerald, who broke through a wooden partition to get into the Silverberg room. Mir. Silverberg, who runs a shoe repairing shop, No. 2 Ferry street and also sleeps in his shop, was not at home and was said to have gone to New York on Saturday How the fire started is not known
 When J. Markow noticed the smoke, Policeman Charles Smith of the fire, alarm to fire department headquarters. Chief Stanton and Engine company No. 1 responded. Through investiga- tion made by Chief Stanton it was learned that SiIverberg hires space in the basement for his shoeshop from the Olympia Candy kitchen, which uses some room there for ripeninP bananas and there has lately been trouble be- tween the parties over the payment of rent by Silverberg. the Olympia peo- ple having had the sheriff after MT. Silverberg to collect their rent.

to handle There were thousands of them. apparently, and thousands more of the Christmas postal cards, which this year seem to crowd the mails as never before. As an indication of the postal card mania, it was reported that on Saturday one carrier on one delivery at one house to one family delivered 62 postal cards. When carrier has 800 families on his route, some idea of the pieces of mail matter he will handle in the Christmas rush can be gained.
 The rural carriers will find their de- liveries equally crowded today and on Sunday three Of them spent the after noon at the postoffice getting their mall into shape
 For Christmas day, Postmaster Ca ruthers will have three teams work ing and there will be two deliveries, but ne declares they will make an other cleanup today before they stop work. On Saturday in the outlying districts. the noon deliveries were dis pensed with. but in the center of the cities all the deliveries were continued as usual In the outlying districts on Saturday the dropping of the noon trips really contributed to the com pIeteness of the service as it was found the men could do more effective work in two big deliveries than if they had to break into their time for the noon trip.

LARGEST YEAR EVER AT POSTOFFICE
Immense Quantity of Packages and Thousands of FSlas- Clerks Worked All Sunday Afternoon-c- Cards for One Address-An to be Delivered Today.

Christmas records at the postoffice for as long as Postmaster William Caruthers and Major William A. Wells chief clerk, can remember in more than thirty years continued to be beat en by the rush of mail on Saturday and Sunday, but by continuous hard work and the right kind of system the local force is keeping ahead of the food. An extra man has been work ing all last week every day where needed, and on Saturday by the help of three teams for delivery the force cleaned up everything, So that by night all the mail matter than had come into the office had been gotten out, leaving the racks clean for the expected flood on Sunday.
 The flood came, too, and all Sunday afternoon the full force of sixteen car riers and three subs, with Postmaster Caruthers and Chief Clerk Wells. were at work sorting up the mail for the delivery routes today and for the out going railroad mail on Sunday. It was with no small feelings of triumph and relief that they reported that every thing was cleaned up by evening.
 All over the postoffice, in the post masters room and in the general working space. were ranged the long lines of package articles, sorted up in delivery routes, and in all conceivable sizes that makes them a most awkward and troublesome thing for the carriers

The diff ference in the cost of production be- tween this country and abroad" he said '-is what is promised in our party pIa tform. and with that I think the American manufacturer can success fully compete with the manufacturers of the world"
