Area and Use HOUSES MUST BE NUMBERED And Crosswalks Pat ii Where Seeded Special "Pick-op" Carrier Say be Added In furtherance of the Idea several times suggested by The Review in the past, City Councilman J. Wendell Wright is endeavoring to arouse a general Interest in the matter of ex tending .the free mall delivery ser vice In Hoseburg. Mayor Joseph Mlcelli Is also taking a commendable Interest In the matter. The success of the movement, however, rests largely with the people themselves. The attention of the postal authori ties have been called to the matter by Mr. Wright and they siguify a readiness to co-oierate In extending the free delivery service In this city. How to Proceed. Primarily the best plan would ? to have petitions circulated asking that the free delivery mail service be extended to those parts of the city which do not now have the bene fit of such Bervlce. Also that a special "pick-up" carrier be added to gather up the mail from the city boxes in the evening and carry it to the postofliee for dispatch on the night trains. As It Is now letteis placed In these boxes after 3 p. in. of each day lie there until the next day when the carriers make their morning delivery and collections of mall. They also make collections of mall from the boxes during the afternoon delivery, but as this Is not Inter than 3 p. m. a large share of the letters lie over until next day unless taken to the postotllce by the writers. A carrier to gather up this mail in the evening would therefore add greatly to the usefulness of the service. He might also deliver mr-il coming In on the evening train. House Nuiulicrs and Crosswalks. In order to get the mail service extended through any district with in the city limits which does not now have such service It is absolutely necessary 10 nave tne nouses iium- bered and such numbers placed there- on so as to be In plain view from the street. It Is also imperative mat crosswalks be provided at the re- quired Intervals so tnnt tne resi- dents on UOin Blues 01 ine Bireel ui;iy be served. These requirements mutt be fulfilled before the postal depart- ment will even consider an extension of the service. If this is done and the necessary petitions filed, this ex- tension of the free delivery service can doubtless be secured and put in- to oiieration early the coming spring, Doubtless the largest district now outside of the free delivery area is iNortn KOSeDurg. uiner impuiuuii districts are also In great need of the service, however.

As soon as the wild and heavily timbered section becomes safely accessible, McGee will give the body burial, either at the place he left It or near the cabin a half mllo distant, wher the two cruisers spent the night preceding the day of Everts' death. McGee will be accompanied by two or three men familiar with the country McGee nnd the Everts boys wentl from Gardiner to the mouth of the west branch of Smith River in a launch, intent upon going to the body, but they were forced to aban don the Idea.
