ARE RE ORGANIZING PENDLETON POSTOFFICE AFFAIRS BEING REVISED, Send In Your Street Number, or Chanoe of Address Business Rap Idly Increasing Both In the City and on the Rural Routes. Tho poRtofncc force is busy at the present time In straightening out as much as may bo the tangle resulting from tho lack of interest on the part of the public In tho matter of their mall delivery. Careless and Indifferent People. Since last December, when tho de livery system was put into effect, the peoplo at large have made no general effort to havo their mall class. .icd or addressed to tholr street number, nnd as a result tho carriers are com pelled to keep In personal touch with every one on their respective routes in order to know where to place tholr mail. In a city the size of Pendle ton, and In one especially whero there is the transient or floatlm; pop ulation that thoro Is here, it is ex tremely dlfilcult for tho carriers and tho office people to keep track of the mall and Its destination. From this lack of attention on the part of tho people, the mall service suffers in promptness nnd accuracy. When a man or a family moves It Is left to the carrier to hunt him up and in this way the service Is put to the bau. It is the earnest wish and deslro of the postoftlce peoplo that the public would pay more nttentlon to this matter. As to the Rural Routes. The business of the office Is in creasing In volume dnlly and this is especially true In the rural service. There are at present three routes In operation from the Pendleton office : One to McKay creek, one to Hold- man and one to Pilot Rock. The mall Is carried by the stage drivers on these routes, nnd the mail handled is increasing rapidly as the people come to see the advantage to be de rived from system. Tho McKay and Holdman routes supply 50 to 100 families and this number Is being added to dally. The Pilot Rock route Is a new one prac tically .and the work done there Is not so large, but is growing at a great rate, as the people see the good features of the service. From now on the postoffico will be busy place, as the harvest will bring in many people here who will handle both mall and money orders, and the department is preparing for tho long, hard pull through the busy and at the same time the hot season.

STAMPS FOR PHILIPPINES. American Postage Stamps Not Good There After October. After October 1, 1903, United States postage stamps will not be good in the Philippines nnd stamps marked Philippines" will not be good in the United States. Letters addressed to soldiers In the islands In manv in stances have inclosed postage for an answer, but the government now be lieves it hns postofilces so establish ed In tho new Pacific possessions that there is no need of this and that residents of the Philippines can ol- tain stamps whero they are. F. W. vaile. assistant superintend ent of tho railroad mall service, who was at one time director general of posts at Manila, and who established some of tho first mail routes in tho Philippines, said; "There Is no further need of the uso of United States postage in the islands. Philippine stamps can be easily obtained in nearly all of tho re mote parts of tho Islands, and no hardship will bo caused by tho en forcement of tho new order."
