LARGER FORCE Will PROBABLY Be
NEEDED AT LOCAL P. O.AFTER JAN.1

Whether or not the inauguration of
the parcels post at the first of the
year will necessitate an increase in
the postal force here will not be de-
termined until the new institution has
been in operation for awhile, inasmuch
as Postmaster Brown has no means
of knowing to what extent it will be
patronized However, he is under the
at this time that his pres
ent force of clerks will be adequate
to handle the extra work except at
Christmas time when additional help
will uuquestionably be needed.
In order to assist congress in ar
irving at an approximate of the ap-
propriation necessary to maintain the
parcels post, Postmaster Brown as
we'll as all other postmasters in the
county will keep an accurate account
of the number of packages received
and distributed at the office during
the first fifteen days in January and
on the 18th he will report to the
postmaster general at Washington.
Because of the fact that the institu-
ton will be new and comparatively
unknown and because II is right after
the Christmas season, the report on
the business of the first half of jan
uary will not afford a fair index to
the ultimate patronage but will to
some extent serve as u basis from
which to calculate.

rate on IL pound package to Port

Postmaster Brown is of the opinion
that the people in the smaller COM
munities will be slow in appreciating
the value of parcels post and for
that reason he does not expect any
great amount of business in that line
during the first few months of 1913.
However, he states that one large To-
cal mercantile firm is already making
a study of the rates and conditions
of the new postal branch with view
to employing it in its out-of- town
business. The Pendleton Woolen
Mills will also become a patron of
the parcels post for, under its regu-
lations II will be possible to send an
Indian blanket or bathrobe to any part
of the United States by mail.
