% All mail handling records in this
postal district We're broken during
the week which preceded Christmas,
according to railway mail clerks.
To handle the vast number of par
eel post packages and first class mail
matter which was dispatched over
the various railway lines, il was nee
essary to more than double the forces
on some routes. 1t is told that on
the Milwaukee railway between Sioux
City and Aberdeen. seven mail clerks
were necessary on trains which ordi-
nariJ have two regular clerks and a
substitute who travels over only A
part of the run. IL is said that trains
were delayed from a few minutes to
hours, according to the distance trav~
eled, because of the time consumed
in handling mail bags. Between
Sioux City and the twin cities special
mail trains were run as the first sec
tons of regular passenger trains.
Congestion of Christmas mail at st.
Paul made it necessary to move par
cells from that city to Minneapolis
by automobile.
There was an extra mail car at
tached to the regular Milwaukee
train running east from Madison. AT
the local p~ostoffice it was said today
that considerably the largest volume

grams were given in the Methodist,
Episcopal, Baptist, United Lutheran
and Synod Lutheran churches. The

considerable numbers hunted rabbits.
Good programs, which were we'll pat

1t is probable that there were more
automobiles in Augusta Sunday than
there had been on any one day since
the automobile came into use, not ex-
cepting any day during the time that
the I'd Infantry was in camp before go
ing to TIE Texas border. The travel
into town. was heavy all day on Water
street. but = rom the noon hour until .
o'clock it was particularly so, and it
was almost impossible the greater part
Of the time to get across the street SO
many were the cars going to Camp
Reyes. Travel was still heavy during
the afternoon and an idea of how they
were coming may be had from that fact
that one man counted them from $3.50
to o'clock and the number which pass
ed the Journal building during that time
was 55, or over five minute.
