Complimented.
H. G. Durand, postofflee inspector,
has just finished checking up the

the affairs of the office are In excel
lent shape. He says that during
the past six months there has not
been a single complaint a led against
the local postoffice, which Is a re
markable showing for an office of
this size, and one of which few office
can boast.
The local office is keeping pace
with the development of the coun
try. During the month of December
stamp sales for Christmas package
alone amounted to some $500.
The basic rate of the office shows
that It will be placed at the top of
the list as a third-class office next
year and no doubt the postmaster's
salary will be on the basis of f 1700
a year after July next.
