CHRISTMAS MAIL
RUSH ON; LOCAL
OFFICE IS BUSY

Yesterday afternoon with the
lobby full and a line waiting at
the stamp windows the postoffice
began experiencing the Christmas
mailing rush which will continue
to become greater until some
time Wednesday or Thursday
when the height of the mailing
will be passed. The congestion
will gradually decrease from then
until sometime Friday with only
a few people sending packages to
friends in the city on Saturday.
In order that the increased de-
mand for service may be met the
local office is today placing spe-
cial man in the lobby who will
weigh packages and mark the
amount Of postage on them so
that the clerk at the window may
devote his entire time to the sell
ing of stamps and writing insured
and registered receipts. Yester-
day afternoon the congestion was
so great that 1t was necessary to
open an extra window to care for
the customers.
The incoming mail has not been
affected by the Christmas mails as
yet, according to A. b. Gibbard,
assistant postmaster. Only few
packages have been received from
points in the far east where they
needed the call of the postal de-
partment to mail early. The heav-
Ter incoming mails will begin to-
arrive here about Tuesday and
Wednesday with Saturday being
the heaviest day of the week, AS
Christmas comes on Monday and
there are no deliveries on Sunday
or Monday it is expected by local
postoffice officials that a large
number Of packages which We're
not mailed soon enough will not
be delivered until Tuesday.
Added to the regular Christmas
mails are about 100000 auto Ii
eense plates for the coming year
which are mailed at this time.
The first shipment of 10000 was
received yesterday afternoon with
more to follow as soon as possible.

cordance with a senate custom,
today led Mr.. Crooker to send
Vice President Coolidge a protest
against any such move. He declar-
ed that the improprIety OF refer
ring his paper to Senator Lodge
was obvious"
Mr.. Crooker's statement said
the liberal republican league rep
resented more than 100, 900 Mas
sachusetts republicans. He added
that his protest against the valid
ity Of Mr.. Lodges reelection was
justified by abundant evidence
and also "by the Overwhelming
demonstration Of Massachusetts,
public sentiment at the polls in
the recent election"
Massachusetts, has repudiated
Lodge and all the reactionary OBJ
struction that he stands for" the
statement said.
Counts Don't Agree
The total vote for senator was
.S67,15S. 1t was declared, and
Senator Lodge received on the

thus "a minority candidate" It

''Flagrant Irregularities in tho
conduct Of the election occurred
all over the state" Mr.. crooksr
said, "and the result al tabulated
by the governor and council as
the basis for the Issuance 0f cer4
tificate to Lodge is a result that
cannot be accepted or recognized
as representative OF a legal or fin
al result. We are satisfied on all
the information that has come IN
to our possession since the cleo
tlon that Lodge was not legally
elected, and am here to obtain
an immediate opportunity to
prove it,"
Mr.. Croker said his fight was
not Ia behalf of William a. Cas-
ton, the democratic candidate and
was not a partisan move, but was
designed to "unseat the man who
has accomplished more harm as
an obstruction OF world peace and
the natural expression Of liberal
thought than any man since
Nero"

Plan
To The Public
Capitol Apartment and Statement
Of Modern Apartment House
Enterprise Issued by Board Of
Directors

The statement below showing,
in our opinion, the possible rev.
enues that may be had from the
proposed Capitol Apartments,
which we are contemplating build
Ing on the corner Of Capitol and
Court streets, In Salem. Oregon.
This statement has been gone In
to quite thoroughly by the Board
of Directors and shows approxi-
mately the profits that we believe
we may expect.
The building should be con
constructed at as low cost as
possible, at the same time realiz-
ing that 1t should be built sub
stantial, and II Is the intention to
build a class "a" building, and
in 80 doing 1t will not be subject
to the high depreciation that Is
usual to cheaper construction.
We believe that we have figured
sufficiently high on the various
known expenditures. While there
will be possible unforeseen outlays,
there are the same possibilities OF
making a saving on other items.
It Is within the power of the
stockholders to name the Board OF
Directors and at this timeeit is
composed of Salem men with the
exception OF Mr.. Arlington, who
recently has become a resident OF
this city. 1t will be our inten-
tion to obtain good set OF plans
and specification from q reliable
architect and this we believe, on
present information, can be ar
ranged on very favorable terms.
We have arranged with Mr.,
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1922-12-16

Armington for the financing n
the building, on q very fair and
equitable basis, and to DISPOSE nf
the stock unsubscribed. It Ia our
greatest desire that every citizen
or Salem own one or more sharea
OF stock in this Corporation. Re-
sides being good Investment.
Salem needs It.
The Thielsen property upon
which we have contract of pur-
chase Is the best suited for a
building Of this character that we
know OF In the city and the Ioca-
tion, being near the Capitol build
Ing and Willamette University. "a
such that we feel that we will az
all times be able to keep all apart
ments filled.
The Board OF Directors are all
stockholders In the Company and
your interests are their interests.
The Capitol Apartment Company
is corporation organized under
tho laws OF the State Of Oregon
and you have the usual protection
on investments made under the
Oregon laws, and II is our inten-
tion at all times TO serve the best
interests Of the stockholders.
This project, being a Salem in
stitution. II Isl our desire to have
the full cooperation OF the Salem
people, without a question this
building, when completed, will Till
long felt want and certainly
will be a credit to the city. Re
member many people have left
Salem on account OF being unable
to obtain suitable living quarters.
Whether or not you invest, your
hearty cooperation will be ap-
preciated. You are at liberty to
call upon any OF the Directors for
any information which you may
desire.
