Charles Frenc-h, the assistant post master. lias finished his report to th«' departiueut of the work done in th« Pendleton office for the year, whiel. shows the office to be in the best o. ■ ondition and prosperous. The total receipts for the year have been 313.687.43. which is an increase of ?15o over that of last year. Dur ing the year the box rent has amount ed to 31-355.40. the revenue derive, from the newspaper postage is 3252. 60, and 112.079.43 has been taken li through the windows in exchange lot I>ostage stamps and stamped envei- opes. The expenses of the office, includ ing the rent, light, fuel and the sal aries of the postmaster and his of fice torce have been 35,941.56. Tbe tree delivery system has cost 31. 878.10, which includes the salary oi the delivery clerks, the post box ex penses and all of the matters in con nection with the system. The total gain to the department tor the year has been »«,819.66, which represents the total profit of the lo cal office of the postoffice depart ment. This is not quite so much profit to the department as in .he last year, but tne shortage is due to the raise in the salaries of the post master of 3100 a year, and that of his first assistant and mailing clerk ci the same amount, Owing to other small increases in expense for var: ous improvements, the surplus has been cut .own so mat the prosperous condition of the office is not shown by the face of tbe reports unless one understands the details ot the office Owing to. the satisfaction given ty the carriers and by the increase in work caused by the decision which went into effect the first of the year in relation to their increased terri- tory. the office has recommended the department that their salaries be increased 3250 a year each, The d' partment has ruled that the carriers will have to deliver man any place iu the city, and outside of the limits. providing that there is a continuous sidewalk to the point of delivery from the limits of the city. All points in side of the limits will be served whether there is a walk or not, pro vide«! that the parties comply with the regulations providing for the placing of numbers on their resider,- ces aud properly notify the postoffice of their desire to have their mail de- livered. The increased work brought about by the new ruling in the matter ui delivery will also necessitate a new carrier by the fall season. It will 1> possible for the present forces to de liver all of the mail in good season during the summer, and while the weather is good, but the increase ir the city, and the consequent greater amount of matter to be handled wi.l call for another man inside of a year and this has been recommended i ■ the report from the local office. The boxes which have been ye ceived for the convenience of the patrons of the office will be place I by the first of the coming month. It was necessary to send the location ri the boxes to Washington to get the approval of the department, and it is thought that this will be returned and the boxes in by the time named. • C. B.

George ami Hennessey, two yo lug men of this city who are inter < sled hi iudun relics, says the Wsl.a Walla Union. The two men went uut early In 'ue laornntg. prepared to make a thor ough investigation around the "Id graves, but as the man living on the property was very adverse to an in vestigatiou they did not accomplish very much. They state from observations made that up to within three years ago ’he bodies interred there must have been In an almost perfect state of preser vation. One or two which they were able to discover were almost entirely natural, some little damage uavlug been caused by irr.gation of the land, which was commenced about three years ago. The bodies are now <•-> ■aving very rapidly. Of the two bodies they found one was over seven feet In length, and the other correspondingly large, mute evidence of a large and stalwart race. There was nothing of any value In one they found a in th«* grave» few colored beads, and iv the other an iron pan which covered the face of the body. An old settler, who remembered the occurrence well, said the ran uho was buried in the last grave th«y found had been shot over 50 jr* ar» ago for the robbery of the wagon and supplies of a party of white sealers who were < rossing the plains, The bullet wound was still very pla.n in the back of the head.
