He intended to make his way back by Florence, on the Siuslaw. Does a Pretty Good Business. A. F. Huber, the Monmouth rural mail carrier, handed us a report of his work for the months of October and November, 1912, which may prove interesting to readers and will, at the least, enlighten them as to the work of a rural mail carrier, although in the mind of the writer the most tiresome part of his business is the long drives he must take through the dust in summer and mud and storm during the winter. During the two months men tioned Mr. Huber delivered a total of 16,353 pieces, the weight of which was 2274 pounds and 7 ounces. During the same period he collected 2052 pieces the weight of this lot being 64 pounds and 6 ounces. Besides the above labor he is sued 90 money orders and sold $45.91 worth of envelopes and stamps. Add to this a drive of about 1500 miles and you have the labors of a mail carrier very well summed up, although December will doubtless show up heavier mails than either of these months, and the parcel post beginning with the first of the new year will increase the "usefulness, of the carrier on all rural routes.
