The Herald family received a
pleasant call Saturday from
Thomas H. Hanly, of Bandon,
Oregon, a former acquaintance,
who was passing through Mon
mouth. Mr. Hanly, in company
with J. L. Cody, Al Sweet and
Israel Smith, of Bandon, had
gone into the Bend country, in
BJastern Oregon, to look at the
country, and leaving there ahead
of the other parties, came back
through this part of Oregon. 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.
