POST OFFICE RECEIPTS
SHOW BIG INCREASE
Business For January and
February Of This Year Far
Exceeds Former Years

Perhaps in no other department of
state or federal government is the
business pulse of the state or nation
so accurately registered as in the
postoffice department and the receipts
for the two months just closed. Jan.
uary, of this year, as shown bv a
special report compiled by Postmaster
Huckestein, disclose a most encourag.
ing increase in business over the cor
responding months of the previous
year and Of two years ago when the
legislature was in session. The most
flattering and, perhaps, the most sub
stantial and authoritative gain, how.
ever, is shown in the receipts for the
past year over those of 1918 and the
year previous.
The receipts of the Salem post of.
flee for the months of January and
February, just closed, as shown by the
statement just issued by Postmaster
Huckestein, amounted to $14,223.37. n
gain of $2,l69.6S over those of the cor.
responding months of last year and
81 ,931 25 two years ago. Of course the
bulk of the increase in receipts for the
two months of 1913 and 1915 is due
to the heavy mail business incident to
the legislative session, but the normal
receipts show a very encouraging gain
notwithstanding. For the year 1914
the total receipts amounted to $S6,G06..
81, which is a gain of $l4,125.96 over
those of 1913 and gain of $l7,7G2. so
over the total receipts for the year
1912. The receipts for the year 1912
were $G8,S43.51; for 1913, 2,4SO.35
and for 1914 $S6,6OG31. The postal
receipts for the months of January and
February, 1913, 1914 and 1915 are
shown by the following:
1913 1914 1915

Old Salem Landmark Moved
For Modern improvements

The committee having charge of af-
the Patton Block on State street is
being removed to make way for the
modern fronts of the building. The
wooden awning is one of the Oldest
landmarks in the city and was put in
place in 1869. Since that time it has
sheltered thousands of pedestrians dur
ing the frequent showers that often oc-
cur in Oregon during the proper
seasons. The progressive merchants
who occupy room in the Patton building
demanded more light and the old wood.

that the paint has been burned off in
forty years.

KNITTING MILL IN PROSPECT.
Eastern Parties Wish to Locate Here
With I00--Hand Mill.

j. B. johnson has been in communi
cation for some time with eastern par
ties who are desirous of locating knit
ting mill in Crossville. They have the
latest and best machinery ready fol
shipment and are looking for suit
able location where they can secure
plenty of labor. The claim they will
give employment to 100 or more people
when in full operation.
The parties wish the people of Cross
vile to subscribe for as much as $40, 900
or $500 in preferred stock of the
company for the purpose of erecting a
suitable building. The preferred stock
is to be secured by the entire plant
after in operation.
A representative OF the mill people
is expected here this week and more
complete details will then be placed
before our people. Such an enterprise
is badly needed here and nothing could
come to, our town that would do so
much for it. 1t would mean the put
ting into circulation not less than $500
to $400 a week, the larger part of
which would go into our stor es and
practically all would go into immediate
and add very materially to
the prosperity of the town and our peo-
pie generally.
We are hopeful we will be able to
give some more interesting and encour-
aging facts relative to the enterprise
next week.

CHARGED WITH RAPE.
j. 7, Mccullough Bound to Court Un-
der Bond of $4,000 and Lodged
in Jail.

Monday Deputy Sheriff u. W. Walker
brought to the Jail j. T. Mccullough,
whose home is about two and a half
miles from Crab Orchard. The charge
against the man is rape of his daugh-
ter, who is about 1e years of age. Nc
Cullough was tried before Esq. j. T..
Ashburn and bound to court in the sum
of ~, 900. Being unable to secure the
bond he was lodged in jail.
Rumor has it that the practice has
been going on for over a year and that
it is not really a case of rape as
charged.
When Deputy Sheriff Walker went to
the Mccullough home to arrest him on
warrant sworn out by h,s son McCul-
Tough met the officer at the door with a
double-barrelled shot gun and informed
the officer that he would not be
arrested. The officer read the warrant
and had to club Mccullough badly be-
fore he would consent to be arrested.
There are ten or more places on the
head of the prisoner where the skin is
broken from blows with the pistol of
the officer. After reaching town DR..
w. A. Reed was called and dressed the
wounds, none of which are dangerous.
When an effort as made by the last
legislature to do away with capital
punishment, great care was taken to
leave the penalty for rape the same as
it had been, that of death. The law
capital punishment passed
both houses and was vetoed by Govern.
or Rye, so that the law touching .
murderand rcpe remains unchanged.
