Patrons Want Additional Fixtures in the Postdffice and the Demand Is Loud and Strong. "What has become of that free de livery promised Pendleton?" This is a question that the East Oregonian as well as many people who are interested, would like to have answered. For more than six months have the residents of town been expecting every day to hear that their mall would be delivered at their doors and that preparations would he made to start the free delivery at once. But, alas, the. waiting for a f'-v days has developed into weeks and the weeks into months, and free de livery Is apparently no nenrer today than It was In August of last year. More than this, Postmaster Fell says he does not look for any move being made until about the first of line, and he shakes his head conveying the impression of doubt when he says it will be established then. Something should be done. The present facilities at the postofilce arc entirely inadequate to handle the bus iness that conies through the office in the way It is handled now and there is a pressing need for enlargement. It is impossible to get a mail box at the office. Everything is full and Postmaster Fell informed a reporter last evening that he could dispose of from 30 to 40 more private boxes, were they In the ofhee. This certain ly shows evidence of a pressing de mand for more boxes. People want boxes and they should be supplied. There is not a postofilce In the state of Oregon that is so cramped for room and needs the placing of extra facilities that the postofilce of Pen dleton does, and somebody is making a mistake in not remedying the short age. The government Is losing money it should have from the rent of the boxes and the extra ones won! 1 cost very little to place them. It would take no more expense to keQp diem up after once pl.ic ,1 in Die of fice than it does the limited amount at the command of the postmaster now. The same amount of clerk hire would do the work much easier if more men had private boxes, and it would be much more satisfactory U, the patrons of the office to be able to get their own mail or be able to see whether or not they had any with out bothering the delivery window clerk to look through a large bunch of papers with the names, beginning S." to get Mr. Smith's mail. The excuse the officials have for not urging the placing of additional facilities is that free delivery has been promised and w'im that is es tablished it will do awav Kith the dr mand for a great manv botes that are used now, and the boxes will only be used then by the country pca ple and the present accommodations will be ample to supply all. Por' master fell says that unless free de livery is started by the first of Juno he will demand that more boxes be placed in the office and possibly larg er quarters will have to be obtained, but tho people who have to put up with the present facilities for accom modating the patrons of the office are impatient and want something done, or a move made to do something be fore June. If they can put up with it until June they can put up with it another six months and nossiblv at that time the free delivery will be no nearer than today. Pendleton is growing and It is an outrage that' with the government backing the I postofilce it cannot be arranged to ac- commodate every man and woman who wants a private box out of which . lie or she ran irn nml imt Mini., mnii ' -- i ...... ftt-l l II .l 411141, at leisure without having to wait at the delivery window for an hour be fore they can get near enough to lie waited upon. LEAVING OUT NEWS. Iowa Editor Talks Some on the Sub ject. "Rarely a day passes that the Gute City. Keokuk, Ia is not requested to supress some Item of news, says that paper. "If we may judge from their lino of conduct in making such re quest and their arguments in sup port of them, many people seem to think that tho suppression of news is one of tho chief functions of tho newspaper a sort of God-given priv ilege that should bo-highly prized and graciously and freely exercised on de mandunmindful of the fact that it is tho news a paper contains that gives it a commercial value and which it is in duty bound to supply to Its customers for value received. In not a few instances it haB happen ed that those who are most insistent that certain news affecting them selves should bo kept out of tho pa per were tho first to complain and tho most Indignant at tho paper for the failure to supply certalu othor nows suppressed at tho Instance of someone else. In a largo majority of case speoplo who make such re quests do not stop to consldor what it Is thoy are asking or tho newspapers. Thoy think only of their own inter eats in the mattor, and do not take Into consideration nil the factB of tho case. These facts, which should nev er bo overlooked, wore set forth at some longth In an editorial in the Burlington Hawkoyo recently. There Is no difference between asking a store not to sell an article and ask ing a newspaper not to publish a piece of nows, Tho cases aro exact ly parallel, so far as tho unreason- ableness of tho requests nro concorn ' ed. General recognition of this fact I would deter many people from ask- lug newspapers to break faith with ' their customers." ! JUDGE LOWELL LECTURED. Spoke to the Normal School Students at Weston. Weston, Feb. 11. Last night Judge S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, lectured in the normal school chapel on "Law and Lawyers, Then and Now." The speaker compared old time men and methods with the present time con ditions in the legal profession and not always to the advantage of the present day lawyers. A very good at tendance was had and tho lecture was well received. This Is the fifth lee ture that has been given here this winter, and all of them havebeen good. The snow is all gone from the vi cinity of Weston and the rain has been coming nearly all the time since Sunday morning and the sp.rit of tho wheat growers have been rising in about the same degree that the wea ther has been falling. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Surdon went to Milton" yesterday to spend a fow days with their daughter. Mr. L. C. Preston went to Walla Walla yesterday on business concern ing his new wood cutter. A point at Issue. The freight rate on wheat from Walla Walla to Portland Is 10 V cents per bushel. From Arlington, Or., it is DM- cents. From Biggs, only a few miles above The Dalles, it is 8 cents. From The Dalles it Is AlA cents. A difference of. about 100 miles between Arlington and Walla Walla makes a difference In rate of one cent. A difference of a few miles between The Dalles and Biggs makes a difference in rate of 4Vi cents. The Dalles has water transportation which forces the railroad rate, down to something like a reasonable one from the farmers' standpoint. Do a little thinking on these propositions and then do something besides think. Columbia Courier. What It Is. Advertising is the life blood of the business world today, and well direct ed advertising is like the powerful searchlight of a river steamer, thrown upon a distant cottage on the bank, cutting it out like a picture painted on a black canvas. The timid buyer and the prospective industry will follow the rays of the searchlight of public ity, just as surely as will the eyes of the steamer's passengers follow the light thrown from their vessel. Thoy will not search the surrounding gloom for objects of interest when a beauti ful picture is clearly shown before them. Prospective buyers will not search the surrounding gloom for your competitors lr the searchlight of publicity Is turned on your own place of business. Canastota (N. Y.) Bee. Representative Jones filed papers with the public buildings committee in support of the bill to increase the limit of cost of the Seattle public building to $1,000,000, and to appro priate ?500,000 for the public building at Spokane. Ho believes both bills will pass at this session, particularly the Seattle bill, as the department assorts that a building of the size necessary to accommodate the offices cannot be erected for less" than $1, 000,000. Ho thinks the Tacoma bill will also pass. Empire Meat Market IS THE PENDLETON S1EPOT FH KSEATS OF ALL KINDS IN LARGE OR SMALL LOTS. QUICK DELIVERY IN CITY. FAMILY TRADE SPECIALLY CARED FOR.
