LOTTES M Jsfferton avenu, Pbon Black l Inauguration of the parcels post plan In the United States on Wednes day next, January 1. 113. will mark one of the most Important epochs in the development of the American pos tal service and La Grande people are much Interested in its introduction. The last previous step of importance was taken when the rural free deliv ery was put into effect 15 years ago. The Introduction of the parcels post system had been agitated for ten years without material progress when rural free delivery became a fact. Since then the demand for the Intro duction of a parcels poBt system In the United States became so urgent that congress finally, notwithstanding the most strenuous opposilon trom certain Interofied quarters, yielded to the wishes of the people and enacted a parcels post law. The framing of the law was not an easy matter, as the whole scheme was In the nature of an experiment upon a tremendous scale. It is true, the framers of the law had for their guidance the laws and regulations of a number of foreign countries wker the parcels post has been in succeas condltlons of the postal service in the ful operation for many years, but the United States are so radically differ ent from those of the postal service In ' other countries that It was not an easy matter to adapt their laws to American conditions and require ments. At last the law was drafted, sub mitted to congress arfd passed r.nd January 1, 1913, was fixed as the date for Us going Into effect. The many radical changes in the postal service necessitated by the requirements of the parcels post system Imposed a tre. than the corresnoi'dii.ij rates of mendous burden of work unon the press companies, which means postal authorities and during the last enormous saving to shippers, aside three months several of the depart- from the greater failitles offoied tc ments worked practically day and , them. thousands of postoffices throughout the country. In addition to all this special provisions as to space, means f handling the parcels post, etc., tad to be made at all larger offices so as to have everything in readiness when the law goes into effect next Wed nesday. Imperfections Anticipated. The postal authorities have given the assurance that the preparation are now practically completed, but they realize that owing to the, new ness of the system and the lack of previous experience as td Its opera tlons it may develop at first many de fects and shortcomings which will hive to be gradually corrected. The public is expected to be patient and to give the postal department reason able time to perfect the working of the plan In all Its details. 1 Outreacked Express Companion The Importance of ' the new ser vice can scarcely be adequately etl mated at the present time. It contem plates the transportation and delivery by the postal service of the United States of parcel containing matter of the fourth class, not exceeding 11 pounds In weight and six feet in cir enmference from any point reached by the present postal service to any other point reached by that service The parcels post service of the gov ernment extends far beyond the. llm lted sphere or the various express companies, over more than one mil lion miles of rural routes and 435,000 miles of rail, boat and Btar routes embracing about 60,000 postoffices and 285,000 employes connected with tb postal strvice. The rates of trans portatlon are a great deal cheapei ex-ar night to complete the preparations for the Inauguration of the new sys tem. An entirely new series of stamps for the exclusive use of the parcels post service had to be designed, n graved, printed and distributed; and these are now In La Grande; new scales with a capacity of 11 pounds, to meet the requirements of the .ev welsht limit, had to be contracted for. manufactured and sent to the various poptoffices In the country; maps show, tug the zones Into which the country lias been divided for the purpose ofH fixing a graduated distance rate, nnd hooks containing the various reputa tions and rules governing the now branch of the postal service hart to be Fruits Shipped Short Distance. Under the new law everything will he mailable that is mailable now an fourth ' class matter, with the addi tion of thousands of art'cles of .- perishable nature, etc., which hereto fore were not mailable at all.
