No. .1, Hood River, to solicit contributions for the benefit of the route, I desire to make my re port through the press, having failed to get enough patrons of the route together to hold a meeting. It was understood by Mr. Mowers when he went to work on the route that a fund of flOO would be raised, placed In the bank, and he would receive $25 a mouth from It. He has beeu at work since the 10th of March, and no effort was made to raise the sub sidy until my work was commenced sometime during the latter part of July. 1 put In about one full week and covered the whole route. Sub scriptions to the amount of $1M).2." were signed, of which 140.75 were paid In cash. Many people who un derstand the situation gave ffc"Ny and cheerfully, but there were some who refused to give anything. Of these, some called It graft, others said we should go on a strike, dis continue all mall routes In Hood River, and then the goverumeut would come to terms and raise the wages of our carriers. Again, there are those who can not afford to pay to keep up the route. Some of these said that a job like the mail currier's, at $"." a month, would look good to them. Some seemed to think they were giving to charity when they gave up a dollar or so to the mall carrier. Far from being charity, it is strictly a business proposition. We have the mail route; the govern ment pays $900 a yea r for its main tenance. We know $!WU Is not enough and we know the depart ment will pay no more. No man will undertake to carry the route for the gavernment pay, and we should all be glad to contribute to make the salary sufficient. It will be seen that my week's work of collecting failed to raise the amount required. I therefore call upon those who gave one dollar and can afford to give more to Increase their subscription and pay at But ler's bank. And all those who sub scriiieu anil laucu to pay me are asked to pay at the bank. Two per sone (one a woman) gave $.'! each. Seventy-one persons gave a dollar each; -V) gave $2 each, and the sums ranged down to 25 cents. When Mr. Mowers was asked to take the route, I am told (not by him) several par ties said they would give $5. But I failed to And these parties, A good many were away from home when I called and were not Interviewed. They can pay at the bank. A meeting of the patrons of the route should be called to meet, say la Barrett district, when a commlt-U-e should be selected to audit my fluauclal report. To send a man out collecting money with no one to re port to Is not the proper thing to do. Steps should be taken by the citizens of the valley to have another mall route established. Our carriers have long distances to travel and too much Is expected of them. De livery of mail at 7 o'clock In the evening In this day and nge. In Hood River, rtoesn t well Jllie with our boasted Hood River spirit. We need more carriers anil they should lie better paid and better equipped to facilitate the delivery of mail. And we want carriers who can and will reach every mall box on his route every delivery day In the year. General satisfaction Is expressed with the work of the present carrier. He wishes to continue on the route! but cannot do so unless the full $:hi Is paid Into the bank. I H. J. Hl.VTIIK. Vr inters, Attention!
