County Postal Changes,
Rural route No. 4 was to have been
started yesterday, but no carrier has
been obtained to serve on this route.
No. 4 starts at Logan, and rnrs via
Highland to SpriDg water and thence
back to Logan. The Star mail route
to Meadowbrook, via Clarkes, lias
been discontinued, and as far as the
knowledge of the4ocal postofflce offi
cials goes, Meadowbrook is isolated,
unless it is supplied from Portland,
as Colton is. An effort is being made
to get a rural route to serve Meadow
brook from Mulino, which now has a
star route from Molalla. The Mo
lalla carrier leaves here at noon, and
should this route be established, he
will depart -from Oregon City in the
morning, reaching Mulino in time
to start a rural carrier from that
place. The postoffioes at Ely, Boaver
Creek and Clarkes will in fntnrn l,o
supplied by closed pouch by rural car
rier rrom uregou uny. Tiiere is a
possibility that these three offices wUl
be discontinued.- .
