The NIKE man at the postofice con-
tinues to have his troubles as part of
his job is to locate if possible misdi |
rected letters. For instance, day or 81
age letter was posted addressed to
Mrs. j. +. Wilson, 251j south G street |
Salem, Oregon. There doesn t happen to
be any &c" street in the city and the
chances are that the party addressing J
the envelope was all right as far as the
street address was concerned, but wrote
the wrong town. The envelope is of an
orange tint and sealed in lavender seal |
ing wax stamped with letter G..
American prisoners in Germany may
receive money from their friends and
relatives in this country but care must
be taken in addressing the envelope
and method of sending the money. All
letters must be sent in care of the
Bureau Of Prisoners Relief, American
Red Cross, Washington, D. @. Postmas.
ters will receive money order applica-
tions payable to the American Red
Cross and it will be forwarded to the
party addressed. Care must be taken to
give the address of the prison camp.
On the motion Of the city attorney,
the case of z. j. Zinn, charged with
operating an auto for hire without the
necessary license, was dismissed yester-
day afternoon, as Mr.. Zinn announced
that he intended to get out Of this spec
ial line Of business. The trouble with
the taxi and jitney drivers seems to be
that they do not object SO much TO pay
ing the $l5 year license as to the fact
that they have no protection and that
several drivers are doing business in
the city without taking out the license.
Aldo the fact that when there is spec
ial rush, many private autos get into
the business, soliciting and receiving
fares for carrying passengers withou
taking out the license.
