RURAL CARRIERS

From Salaries
Tho six letter carriers on the rural
free deliveries have placed their or
ders for uniforms. In the east most
of the carriers In the country districts
are uniformed and the local curriers
think (hut Oregon should not bo be
hind any tit her state.
The small salary the local carriers
j have been receiving and the expense
that devolves upon them In furnish
jlng their horses and outfits have pre-
eluded any additional expense for
I uniforms. However, the carriers get
a raise next July, and their world
looks blight enough to them now to
warrant the purchase of tho now re
galia. The uniforms will bo gray In color,
conforming to tho uniforms worn by
the city carriers. They will have caps
and will present a cosmopolitan ap
pearnnre among the fanners.
Tho rural carriers have a hard life,
and the pay Is miiall. On some of the
routes In tho east tho farmers along
tho line have furnished uniforms, but
the local carriers have asked no fa
