What better predicate can there be for so impovtant announcement? The man who doubts it has only to call there and prove it for himself.

It might bo opportune to call this mat ter to the attention to the Chamber of Commerce. Other counties in the state, have through the ell'olts of their com mercial orgiuiizut ions, secured rural free delivery, and there is no reason why Clatsop county shouhl not make an effort lo secure the same system and the resulting; benelits. It cannot be se cured if the people stand idly by and make no elfinl to secure it. Senator Pulton is in a position to assist and if requested so to do. no doubt a rural free delivery can be established in Clatsop count v in the near future. PERSONAL MENTION. 1hii W.
