Go! Why Not Go?
The United States Postal De
partment has made new regula
tions in regard to carrying second
class mail matter ( such as news
papers, magazines, periodicals, '
etc.) the same going into effect
January 1, 190.?, and allowing
publishers to April x, 190, to
prepare their subscription lists in
accordance with the new order of
things. The effect of the change
practically compels the establish
ment ot new relations between
the publisher and subscribers of
county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions entitled to the
second class postage rate shall
not be delinquent longer than the
following periods of time:
Dailies within three months.
Tri-weeklies within six months.
Semi - weeklies within nine
months.
Weeklies within one year
The mails are not forbidden to
subscribers who are in arreais
longer than tbe time provided in
the new ruling, but these subscri
bers are placed in a separate class
ification, requiring a higher rate
of postage , the rate beinfg so high
that publishers could not afford
to send papers at the price of sub
scription. "he reason given by the gov-
ernment lor making this order is
that second class mail matter is
being carried through the mails
at a rate of postage thereon
which is less than the cost of car
nage. '
The Gazette has heretofore
been liberal in giving to its sub
scribers time to pay for their sub
scriptions, by paying $200 per
year for those past due and $1.50
per annum when the same was
paid in advance. Haying made
the difference in the past-due and
advance rate has resulted in giv
dng the Gazette a larger portion
of paid up subscribers. This rule
must now be changed according
to Uncle Sam's order, as the
newspaper has no voice in the
matter. The Gazette invites its
patrons to settle their dues soon.
Colonist Rates.
Colonist rates will be in effect Miirch 1,
1908, to April 30, 1908, from eastern
points to the Pacific Northwest as lol-
ows : From Chicago to Portland, Astoria
and Puget Sound destinations, also to
points on the Southern Pacific main line
and biancnes north of and including
