ganization or any organization in the
country in any other country
which is as efficient as the postal
service. This statement may aston
ish some people, but it is a fact and
proVabIe by figures. For instance,
our postal records show that in 1886
the average number of mail pieces
handled per annum per employee was
28,313, at a cost, per piece, of LA
cents. By 1912, employees were hand
ling 6O,504 pieces per employee, at
cost reduced to 1.34 cents per piece.
That means not only that the units
of service have more than doubled,
but that city and rural delivery have
been added, thus doubling the guam
tity of service, while the quality of
service has nearly doubled. Further
than that, out of 16 principal nations

Frank Rasmus made final proof on
his homestead before Judge Patter-
son on Saturday. He has a good
piece of land lying On the divide be-
tween Willow and Hinton creeks
about six miles east of Heppner. This
season he put in about 80 acres of
grain, part Of which he has cut for
hay, and the balance, about SO acres,
will be threshed. From the sample
exhibited to us, this grain will yield
heavy. Besides raising some grain,
Frank does diversified farming and
expects to purchase number of good
cows and go into dairying along with
raising chickens and hogs. He has
the right idea and should be able in
this way to make his 100 acres pay

are number in council who have al
ways favored the closing of the plant
and will probably make quite a fight
toward this end
In addition TO the report OF the
water and light comission. the claims
