The Postal Service.
Death of Mrs Kramer
An official paper, that has an in
terest all its own, is the anual report
of the First Assistant Postmaster-
Geuerul of the United States. The
postal service comes to all citizens
of the Nation on equal terms, repre
senting in this way more nearly the
boasted equality of individuals than
any other institution of the Govern
ment— The Judiciary not excepted.
To the millionaire and the wood-
chopper, the learned and the un
learned, the postal rates are the
same. Time is hastened and dis
tance annihilated in the workings
of this service. No hamlet in all
the laud is so unimportant that the
muilpouch fails to find it with suffi
ciency, while the forces of the de
partment are constantly and syste
matically in motion in the great
cities throughout the working hours
of every business day in the year.
More than the Postal Department
has brought the rural distrets
in touch
with the suburban
with the urban by a free delivery
system that has relegated loneli
ness and isolation, relatively speak
ing, to the realm of past years.
G. W. Kramer, editor of the
Marshfield Advertiser, received
telegram Tuesday bringing him
the news of the death of his mother,
Mrs. F. B. Kramer, at Russeliville,
Arkansas. Monday, Jan. 1. Mrs
Kramer had but recently returned
to Arkansas from Marshfield where
she spent several weeks visiting her
son. She came to the bay for her
health, which was apparently much
benefited by her stay here.— Mail

There have been several efforts
made to establish the industry of
canning corn in Western Oregon.
None of them has so far been car
ried to the point of definite success.
Another test of the matter is to be
made the coming season at McMinn
ville. There can he little dou <t
that iu the end there will be enough
corn canned here to supply Pacific
Coast demands, The finest quality
of sweet corn in the United States
for canning is now grown in Maine.
The summer temperature of Muine
is very similar to that of the Wil
lamette xalley. The best quality of
sweet corn is produced where the
summer is not extremely warm.
The trouble about establishing the
industry in Oregon is that the farm
ers here do not ns a rule succeed in
raising a large enough crop. The
same trouble was met and overcome
in Maine where the yield formerly
one-third to one-half of what is now
octained. Farmers there now ob
tain from $30 to $50 per acre uuil
in a few cases as high as $100 for
their corn. Although our summers
are rather dry for corn our soil is
naturally mure productive than that
of Maine and with experience the
farmers here will learn to produce
as large or larger crops than are
grown there.— Ore. Agriculturist
