vision of the -ostal department
has been guilty of a breach of
laith.
Special Agent Clement was in
Corvallis last February, and in
company with Posl master John
sou, made a thorough inspection
of the proposed routes. After
careful examination, he recom
mends that the routes be estab
lished. The superintendent of
the Western Division at San
Francisco gave his approval, and
finally the department at, .Wash
ington s'f cioned the project as
shown by uie following letter,
dated at Washingtor, D. C.,
May 7, 1903:
Postmaster, Corvallis, Oregon:
Replying to your letter of re
cent date, requesting to be ad
vised when rural service- from
Corvallis will be put in opera
tion,, I have to inform you that
this service has been assigned for
establishment on August 1, 1903
H. Conquest Clark,
Acting General Superintendent
Blue prints were made by the
department and sent to Postmas
ter Johnson as an additional as
surance that steps were being
taken to provide the service.
Upon the strength of these ap-
parently since promises, patrons
of the proposed routes began to
prepare themselves t take" ad
vantage of this service when it
should be established. In some
instances boxes were secured and
and put up, and many subscrib
ed for daily papers, believing
that these would be placed at
tneir aoors Dy tne rural carrier
within a few weeks.
As time drew near to the first
of -August, however, and the de
partment gave no evidence of its
intention to put its promise into
effect, patrons grew anxious and
the postmaster was worried with
inquiries. He relied upon the
word of bis superiors and assured
all who made inquiry that the
service would begin August 1st.
Finally even ; his confidence was
shaken and he wired theFreei
Delivery v Division, stating that
he had not received instruction
relative to the inauguration of
the new routes. A reply was re
ceived from Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, last
Thtirsdav. conveying the scant
intelligence that there was not a
sufficient number of houses along
the routes, and they had there
fore been abandoned.
As there are more houses now
along the routes than there were
when Special Agent Clement
recommended the service, and the
department under Mr. Bristow's
supervision gave assurance that it
would be established, the depart
ment's reason seems like a verv
who are giving the project their
support.

flimsy one. If Mr. , Bristow is
determined that each route must
serve 100 families and not one
family less, whv was the seal of
his approval placed on the ser
vice in question? The great gov
ernment of the United States
cannot afford to break faith on
so slight a pretext. Special
Agent " Clement went over the
ground personally, and the con
ditions were such as to warrant a
favorable report from him. He
saw that the country is being set
tled rapidly, and while, at present
there are a few less than 100
families on each of the proposed
routes, in a very short time many
more than the required number
will oe st rved. There is no' dis
position en the part of any one
to ask the department to be lax
in its administration of the postal
laws, but all concerned are de
termined that the- government's
agents shall have some regard for
their promises to the people.
Senators Mitchell and Fulton
have been advised of the condi
tion of affairs, and they may be
able to present the matter in such
a light to Mr. Bristow, that he
will redeem the promises made
by his department to the patrons
of the proposed routes.
The Ends it Would Serve.
The Gazette has given con
siderable space recently to articles
urging the extension of the C. &
E. railroad into Central Oregon.
Its purpose has been to show that
there is a growing sentiment in
favor of this road, and to assist
in the systematic agitation which
it is hoped will result in bring
ing aboutthelong-delayed comple
tion of this, road. The matter is
attracting the attention of the
