Wliilrt liu MKtuunititit has been madu and h time set for the in auguration of tne new rule, it ia not likely that the suiceis cf the movement is yet entirely assured. It will tak a little while for the pnb lie to become accustomed to the new order sad there are likely to be deter mined attempts to break it down. It will require seme firmness on the part of the merchants, and alt some patience rnd toleration and mntual confidence. There is no reason to suppose that any of the merchants have signed the agree mout except with the intention of keep ing it in good faith, and if each will give tho others credit tor intentions as good as his own, and lay aside distrust and suspicion (or a few weeks tliero is little doubt bat everything will boob pet to running emothly ander the new order. The public will bo as well served, and tho merchants, as well as their clerks will have a" better chance to enjoy Ilfo. THE MAIL ROUTE The project to change our mail to the Mrrtle Point route is looked upon with considerable suspicion by many of the residents on the Bay, and the fact if l' -inted out that this was tried a num ber of years ago, with very unsatisfac tory results. The Mail does not wish to be understood as advocating tho change. At the trim time, it is a caee r' ''snow me," and if it can le demon strated tnat the change would really result in our getting the outside mail 12 1. ours earlier, that would seem to settle V o matter Thf inipotxnce of onr business inter tills demand-- tho quicket-t service avail able, and a mutter of 12 hours la itn poitant. ' Tbe figures if the Chamber oi Com memo show a uv!ug of 12 hours in reaching Portland and 21 hours in r idling Sin Francisco. Considering ,. tint tLe uit.il is taken over the old rose . rein Marabtluld to Roseburg in 18 or 20 Ik lire in tbo tin minor time and has been ran through the Winter on a 24 hour schedule, this would seem to indicate tint San Francitcu ie.tera can be taken ov.ir the Middle Foik' route in a little . hi a than lio time, and certainly no more ould be skd of any route. This saving eeems- still more pbe atmenal when it Is sren that by tile siioposed schedule' our mail will leave JKanbftfld'at 5 .', id will have un- tt i . m, ol t'k &t day to reach Wi-nor schedule Isonly 4 littiirv longer and tho Summer schedule is 2 hours shorten . The incoming mull will arrive at 8it0 ami if the post ofnlco force gets It il(V irlbuted that night it will Ik after most of tho population hvo gone to bed. Wo would get our vail in tho morning, ns wo do now. Tl is ia on tho assumption that a 13 hour schedule can lw maintained Iks tween Myrtlo Poht and Kosobnrg tho vear round. To the Mail, that seams Ike a proposition that requires demon t ration. It it bo true, then there cau be no good reason why tho contractor should be given SO hours to got the mall tn over tho old read, which is only 0110 mile lougcr, and steps should be taken at onro to have the time reduced to 24 . .... 1 .1 I h 'lira before the timo comes whon tho' contractor will take advantage of the extra 0 hours; which he Is not doing now. The chango, if made, will probably not le made fo some time, and in the niein time it will be well for the Bay people to look carefully before they leap.

Now, there are different kinds of slgtiN-nt any rate sighs that express different things. Pendleton's sighs ap peared to Indicate his uuwIlllrignerH to leave, his companion. Iteally they were sighs of repentance. Ho was burdened with the thought that ho had yielded to temptation and hnd won a heart that It would never do for him to ikm sesrt. flu east a side glance at tho girl.
