Parcels Post, Locally

Last weeks Pioneer Express had ex
haustlve details of the new parcels post
system which has gone into effect this
week, but most people will not care to
delve into the details, as they send pack
ages but seldom and will be satisfied to
just know that postage on parcels is
cheaper and ask the postmaster for the
rest when they have package to mail.
Bnt there are some things of local in.
terest which we venture may interest
the local reader, rs showing how the
system will work locally.
WHY WEIGHT AND DISTANCE COUNT.
There were two great reasons why
Uncle Sam made distance and weight,
factors in the price of postage in the
parcel post system instead Of a fat rate
as in the case Of letters.
First, il the fat rate was made then
the express companies would have fixed
their rates so that they would have
gotten all the short hauls and let the U.
s.. take the long distance. Then again,
there here has been great cry against
the parcels post because of the supposed
advantages it would give the city de.
partment stores over the local merchant.
BY making the rate cheap for tho first
fifty miles and still cheaper for the rural
routes starting from the local Offices, the
local merchant has distinct advantage.
A lady in Carlisle caa telephone to a
Pembina merchant and have pound Of
tea sent to her by mail at cost Of only
five cents, and can send back two pounds
Of butter the same day to pay for the
tea at cost Of SIX cents.
By the rural delivery system all sorts
Of things can be now sent locally for a.
most nominal rates, which could not be
sent in most cases by express at all.
which by mail, previously, only four
pounds Of unperishable matter could be
mailed at much higher rates.
TWO. LOCAL RATES.
1t will be noted that there are two
"local rates.
One rate applies to all deliveries from
the local Office whether by delivery at
the Office, or Dy rural routes starting
from theslo,al Office. The other rate is
for parcels within the first zone of fifty
miles. The first rate is found by start
ing with cents for the first pound a to
18 ounces) and then adding one cent for
each other pound or fraction.
Thus seven pound package address
ed to person on the star route between
here and Carlisle would cost Is aud 8
cents) or II cents. II the same package
were addressed to Bathgate it would
cost 5 cents for the first pound and 8
cents for each Of the remaining six
pounds, Is ana 18 cents) or g cents,
Batheate being in the first "sone" Of
fifty miles but not on rural route from
here.
THREE SIMPLE RULES.
Inside Of the first thousand miles we
then have three rules:
/. local rate IS cents first pound,
add cent for esck other poupd.
2. First 80 miles) gone rate, s cents
for first pound, add 8 cents for esch

the table as the rates are little more
ZONES OF WHICH WE ARE IN THE CENTER
The zones formed by the eight great
circles of which the Pembina post Office
is the center show that Pembina is very
nearly the center of the United States
from east to west, the last or eighth
circle just cutting off the lower end of
Florida, and except for this small area
brings the whole country inside of that
circle and consequently within the
seventh zone even in its most distant
parts. Thus all cities near the center of
the country will have an advantage over
those which are situated on the borders.
CANADA RATES,
The rates to Canada are those of the
Sth zone. Hence locally, it will cost US
just as much to send a parcel to Emer-
son as to Alaska or the PHILIPPINES. which

told here today by one of ihs friends.
The story might also throw some light
on the way Connie Mack is Clipped
orr to more alleged phenoms than any
other three managers in both big
leagues.
Shortly after Mack won his first
worlds pennant he was besieged with
requests for the old shoes, stockings,
gloves, blouses and trousers that had
been worn out by his team in their
scramble for the world s baseball prize.
Mack knew that other managers be.
fore him had been similarly besieged.
But here's the difference. The other
managers either paid no attention to
the requests or sent back refusals.
Mack didn't do any such thing. lie
carefully investigated the requests,
filed them in the order of their com.
ing and occasionally shipped off a dis.
