Poos Mail Bkrvici. No little
mount ot Complaint has been beard
of late regarding the poor mail service
between Portland and down , river
points. The mail bat been arriving
her at all time of the day, from 9 in
the morning to 3 o'olock in the after
noon from Portland. It la rather the
rule than the exception for the down
mail to be Irom three to five hours
late. The service bos been poor in
deed, and the postal authorities are
derelict In tbe performance of their
duty if they do not look into the
matter. A private Individual carrying
the mail wonhl be reported quickly if
' be did not furnish a better service.
Town Bix Bkclu D. B. Wsteon
came into Pendleton from the Umatilla
reservation Friday, and this visit to
town had for the reporter the story of
finding six human skulls and the mold
orfng remains of a wsgon, whose wheels
had 3 inch tires, says the Tribune. The
discovery is said to have been made on
point between two canyons east of
Headman hill, not far from the old
immigrant road. Mr. Watson was
earching tor hogs, so he eays, when he
mode the discovery. The wagnn wo
found southeast of Parker Wells' place,
about U mile east ol Dead man bill.
It was in this place that four freighters
were killed in 1878. He found the skulls
bout throe mites from the wagon,
they were not all together, bat were
scattered over about an acre of ground.
Wasiiiso Stamp. The postal au
thorities are just now having no little
mount of trouble over tbe repeated
use of "washea" stamps. Biamp mat
have been cancelled once are washed
and used second time, and are not
detected without the closest scrutiny.
The washed stamp it of pale color and
usually, if held up to the light, the
cancellation mark can be detected.
There it a heavy penalty for washing
tamps or in any way using a stamp
tor it ha once been cancelled, and
one ot theae days some atamp-washer
tnay come to grief on short notice. A
postage alamo It a small article, bat
Unole 8am would spend just as much
money to punish for illegally using
one postage stamp as for robbing a

A bint to oar country constnst Living
in town ha its perils as well as It pleas-
urea. It does happen sometimes tbat fam

made s convenience of by their rural friends
without being put to great inconvenience.
This was illustrated a few days ago in a
family in town where the husband and
father Is out on tbs rirer fishing. Tbe Bau
ln business bad not proved very remuner
ative np to the time of our Incident and the
family was living pretty close until times
would Improve. To help along, tbe wife
does washing and ironing sometime. On
day recently this good house wife had en
tertained her mother ove night and for
breakfast. When ber mother departed she
commenced boning and aa noon approach
ed intended giving the children an easily
prepared dinner tbat she mb;htget through
with ber work. Much te her surprise,
about noon she was honored (T) by a visit
from a man and wife, with bis mother-in-
law, sister-in-law and ber child. Ihey were
not relatives at all, but neighbors, outside
of towu, and all stayed for dinner la a
neighborly way. Fortunately there was
enough meat in the bouse to feed all of
tbem and they were all fed, departing after
dinner, to allow tbe house wife to resume
her interrupted duties. All went smoothly
now oattt toward evening when another
ntlghborly lady from tbe country with s
grown up daughter put in an appearance to
gladden T) the bouse wife and interrupt
ber ironing. She was soon convinced that
her new visitors intended to stay for tea,
but the nooa crowd bad pretty well ex
hausted the supplies and she was not quit
clear where tbe supper was to come from.
There was 15 cents ia cash left In the house,
however, which bod to go to the meat shop
for the visitors' comfort. When tea was
prepared and commenced it was discovered
that the daughter bad fonnd a young man
to talk to at tbe front door and she could
not come. In fact she was not hungry at
any rata. The family with their guest took
their evening meal, after which tbe yoang
lady at the front door, failing to hold the
young man any longer, eame ia and the
hostess was pat to the trouble of making
additional preparations for ber, as sbe
seemed to have found ber appetite. It is
all right to be neighborly and a christian
duty to be hospitable, bat even christian
graces are not to be abused, and this inci
dent, true in every particular, Is mentioned
merely as "a word to tbe wise." Clstska
