MAGES..", RICKEY, April 4 Wednes day April 1 was the 3 Oth. anni versary of the establishment of rural free delivery from the Sa lem poatof f ice. There were originally eight routes extending in all directions from Salem. ' Number one ran out Into Polk county ; and so on all around Salem. Number eight ex tending out from Salem, close to the Willamette river Into the Clear Lake county. Later another route was added north of Salem In the SUverton road country. - , April l.ilsOO was a red letter day for the farmers. While some families in the vicinity of Salem received , their mall every day from a star route by paying for the delivery, many received their mail only when, they went to Sa lem. This was some task for those living any distance from Salem as (he majority of the roads espe cially in the winter time were In very poor condition. In the win ter time there were so many deep ruts that f sometimes when the wheel of the vehicle would drop Into a rut the driver would be thrown clear out of his "rig". The streets of Salem were not much better than the country roads. In the winter time in those days State street between 19 th and 20th streets was one "lop lolly." -If one had walked down the middle of the street he would have had to wear rubber boots and hip boots would hare boon the safest.! - Vim" Was There Among the light men, or to be more exact, men and boys, who left the Salem post office with their mall at 8:15 on that mem orable morning, 30 years ago was James S. Albert. "Jim," as he Is known to his friends, was one of the boys, i With his mail loaded in a two wheeled, one horse cart he made his first ; trip over route five which covered , 22 -miles deliver ing mail to those who had mall boxes up. In all between f 0 and 70 families. One ..man refused to put up a box but later changed his mind when he found out It would not cost him anything. - The route went out ' Twelfth street In Salem, then out near the cottage farm over the hills, then through the southern part of this community and back to Salem." If. Jim had good luck he got back to Salem by two o'clock but some days he did not get back until dark. . ; During the . summer months "Jim" used a horse and buggy to deliver mail but in the winter he used his cart and even walked to deliver part of the mall. Near the Cottage farm was a low place that often .flooded then "Jim" would go as far as he could and deliver mail, then go back to Salem and come out on a higher road and deliver to : those ' on the upper roads. The road Is now 34 miles long and about 180 families receive mail. B. B. Gesner who just celebra ted his 81st birthday, and is the second oldest man in Marlon cousty who has resided on Mar ion county all of his life, is the only person to whom "Jim" has delivered mall continuously dur ing the 30 years. Thirty years ago It took the carriers about an hour to get, their mail ready, how they go to work at five o'clock in the morn ing and work until eight-fifteen o'clock when they' start on their deliveries. "Jim" Is the only car rier who. has delivered . continu ously on the same route during the 80 years. j - J. A. Remington who started carrying mail 10 years ago is still in the service but has not deliv ered continuously en the same route during this time. "Jim", is a friendly accommo dating chap and his patrons hope- he will continue to deliver mail tor many years., He is the son of T. G. Albert. . ! 0f ! I P YD U HAVEN! RIVEN THE EW DDDGETAR5 . i !
