In a circular letter of instruction sent out yes terday by Postmaster Young it is sug gested that all mail should be deposited in the letter-boxes as soon as it is writ ten. The reason given for the suggestion is that most of the mail trains leave the citv in the morning or in the evening, and that it becomes impossible to collect, sort and dispatch all the accumulation of the day If it arrives at the office between 5 and 8 P. M. For that reason many letters are frequently delayed from 12 to 24 hours. Mail Dhltvert Plan Devised. In fa cilitating delivery of the mails to Pbrt land office buildings on Sundays a plan has been devised by Postmaster Toung which may be utilized by those whom it will benefit. He suggests that the Janitor or some other employe of each office block be authorized to call at the Postoffice for all the mail addressad to the -building. ,Each occupant of an office block will be required to give the agent selected a written order for filing in the Postoffice.

MQREROOMNEEDED Historical Society Will Ask for Building., SITE IN PARK SUGGESTED Many Exhibits of Value Now "Un placed In - Cramped Quarters. Peter Skeen Ogden to Be -Topic of Address. The necessity for permanent quarters for the Oregon Historical Society has be come so manifest that the building will be the chief topic before the ,11th annual meeting of the organization at the City Kail at 2 o'clock this afternoon. There baa been some talk lately of having the building placed In the City Park, or on the tract recently bought by the city on the East Side from the Ladd estate, and arranging It so that it would accommodate also a city museum, the Academy of Sciences and similar depart ments. If this plan is adopted, a modern fireproof building will be built. Advo cates of the plan point out that there will be a saving of rents and cost of land, as well as the advantage of having the exhibits where they can be reached easily. - The objection that the building would not be central enough has been met with the argument that in many cities, such as In the Golden Gate Park at San Fran cisco, the establishment of museums in tho city park has proved satisfactory. At this afternoon's meeting the subject probably will be placed in the hands of a committee, which will begin an active campaign for such a building. The rooms of the society at the City Hall are over crowded now, and added to this is the encroaching demand of the city for rooms used for the exhibits. It "was recently found necessary for the city to ask for one of the rooms used by the society as a library, and this will cause a greater congestion than ever. Some of the more interesting exhibits are so large that they cannot be placed in the rooms at present used. One of the these is the first locomotive ever used in Oregon. It was presented to the state recently and is being kept by the O. R. & N. Co., until the society can find a place for It. Among other features of the meeting this afternoon will be the annual address of the president, Frederick V. Holman, his subject being, "Oregon Counties, Their Creation and Origin of Karnes." T. C. Elliott, of Walla, Walla. Wash., will deliver the principal address on "A life Sketch of Peter Skeen Ogden." Mr. Ogden- was distinguished for having been instrumental in rescuing the 53 survivors of the Whitman massacre, who had been taken 'prisoners by the Indians. He was In charge of the Hudson's Bay Com pany's fort at Vancouver. FIREMEN ASK TIME- OFF FUMi DAY OCT OF EIGHT, PRES ENT REQUEST. Committee Expresses Confidence in Mayor and Chief to Handle Question. A committee of fireman called upon Chief Campbell yesterday morning and asked him to arrange some system whereby the members . of the depart ment can have 24 hours liberty each week instead of 12 hours, as now. They were told that the Chief and his assistants have been trying to arrange such a plan for a long: time, but that every plan yet tried calls for 'a large outlay -of funds, which the adminis tration is not inclined to grant. The members of tho committee were asked to submit a plan themselves. Before calling: on Chief Campbell the members of the committee held a meet ing:, and, acting: under instructions from the four battalion districts of which the fire department consists," adopted resolutions expressing: confidence in the ability of Mayor Simon and his Execu tive Board and Chief Campbell to handle the situation satisfactorily. In the same connection the members of the committee through its authorized rep resentatives denotinced the published reports that political considerations actuated tho attitude of Mayor Simon and Chief Campbell. The petition, which 'was signed 'by 230 of about 270 members of the de partment, asked that the members be granted 24 hours off duty every eight days if the additional time can be given without crippliner the efficiency of the BLUMAUER PHOTO SUPPLY CO.

Circuit Judge Morrow Is listening to the troubles of George Lewis and George Carris, two Greeks who conduct the Bun galow and Lincoln restaurants, respec tively. Lewis says he bought the Bunga low restaurant from Carris, paying also for the good will of the business, with an agreement that Carris was not to resume business in the neighborhood. He opened on Morrison street, a few doors away. Lewis demands $200 damages, and an injunction restraining Carris from maintaining the Lincoln restaurant.
