it would increase at 10 greater rate II

make 1t simpler, it will cost more TO

Every postmaster In the United
States will have a parcel post map.
All that the postmaster will be re-
quired to do when a parcel is pre-
scented for transportation is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his p~ostoffice lies
to the zone of the packages destina-

before, to every postofice in any n

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that ~postmasters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing nuVess they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
OF the sender. A series Of distinctive
stamps is now in course of prepara-
ton for this class Of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these stamps
will be ready for shipment to all post
offices in ample time for the estab-
lishment of the new system on New
Years day.
The po5tofice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject of the Narcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all
fourth-class matter mailed after Jan
uary I. 1913, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
"held for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages will be mailable only
at postoffices, branch postoftices, let

Confer Win P~estmasters.

The postmasters Of the five largest
Offices Of the country have already
appeared before the committee, so
Pittsburg was represented as being a
large first class office, though smaller
than any of the greater five, and as
being the center of a tremendous Ia
ufacturing The postmaster OF
Pittsburg reported that the board of
trade Of that city has q special parcel
post committee, working toward bring
ing the consumer and producer nearer
to each other by the new system. He
also said that many Of the merchants
are planning to have their city deliv'
cries made by parcel post.
Wilmington, Del, represented a
large farming and manufacturing dis
trict, with its mail connections close
with Philadelphia, one Of the largest
Offices. Jacksonville is the largest Of
flee in Florida, and the outlet for all
the mail OF the state. 1t Is peculiar
In having a special increase OF force
in winter, the tourist season, and the
postmaster said that it a expected
that travellers would use the parcel
post extensively In sending home five
and ten.pound packages of fruit.
Suffolk, Va, and Charlestowa,' w.
Va, are both very small second class
offices, one in the tide-water district,
with large truck interests; the other
far finland in an orchard country, with
diversified farm products. The post
masters Of both offices reported great
interest in the parcel post and said
that they had continual inquiries re-
garding its scope.
From these postmasters the COM
mittee was able to CLEAN a great
amount of valuable information, which
added to that gained from the recent
hearings in Maryland, puts 1t in a po-
sition to plan the details OF the SER
vice to the greatest advantage OF the
farmer.

tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmasters.
1t has been announced by Postmast-
err General Hitchcock that nearly TO-.
600 scales will be required for use in
the parcel post system which Is to go
into effect January LIST. He has &C.
cordingly authorized the issuance of
bids for that number. Two hundred
of the largest ,postoffices and their
branches will be supplied with auto.
matte springless scales. The next
class Of offices. numbering about TO-.
600, win be given high grade beam
scales, while the fouth class offices,
numbering about $1,000, will be- fur.
nished with the best spring balances
obtainable, each having a capacity for
twenty pounds. These scales will be
usea by postmasters to determine the
amount of postage required on parcel
post packages. The fact that many
of the postoffices of the country are
now furnished with scales OF a limited
capacity makes it necessary for the
postmaster general to make this very
large purchase of scales capable of
care of the parcel post bust
ness. 1t IS understood that this will
be- the largest single order ever plac'
ed for scales. b..
Rate on Seeds Not Affected.
It should be said that the act of
congress which puts a parcel post plan
into operation does not in any way
affect the postage rate on seeds, cut
tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants
as fixed by section 4S2 of the postal
laws and regulations.

VIII Engage In Dairying And
General Stock Raising

J. R. Robinson of Coeur
D'Alene, Idaho, left here Tues
day after looking over a consid-
cradle portion of the country.
He went directly to Portland
where he closed a deal for the
purchase of a section of land with
President Davidson of the Oregon
& Western Colonization Co.
The section bought is on Prath-
er creek just across the road from
the Cowing place and is an eX-
cellent piece of fine agricultural
land. Mr.. Robinson stated when
here he was all ready to move to
a new location as soon as he
found what he wanted, therefore
he is expected back at once to
begin active work in improving
his new possessions. He intends
to engage in the dairy and gen
eral stock raising business.

Great Northern Gathering
Fine Exhibits This Year

The Great Northern Railway
is preparing to feature the pro
duets of Oregon at the Minnea-
polls Land Show" says f.. G..
Leedy, General Immigration
Agent, of the Great Northern
Railway, after his return from
the west recently. The results
achieved by this kind of adver-
tising in the past has been highly
successful and we are thoroughly
convinced that bringing the pro-
ducts Of the west to the people
of the east in the most effective
and modern method of advertis-
ing the agricultural possibilities
of any country.
The representatives of the
immigration Department are can
vassing every community in the
state of Oregon collecting grains
in the straw. grasses, vegetables
and in fact all products of the
soil. They are cooperating with
the Commercial Clubs, response
BILE Real Estate Men and farmers.
who are growing the crops.
The thorough manner in which
this collecting of exhibition ma
terial is being followed insures
us the greatest collection of agri-
cultural and horticultural pro-
ducts that has ever been assem-
bled by any railway.
THE very best and choicest
samples will be shown at the
Minneapolis Land Show, where
thousands of homeseekers and
investors will visit. Our repre-.
sentatiyes are meeting with great
success, as the local people along
the entire line appreciate more
than ever the great benefit Of
the wide publicity which is given
our particular section through
this medium Of advertising.
THE Northwest Land Show at
Minneapolis will mark a new
epoch in the history of agricul-
tural exhibits. Undoubtedly this
will be the greatest collection of
products of the soil ever assem-
bled under one roof and the pro-
ducts of the Great Northern
are certain to be among
the leading attractions" "
