P - Burns, Oregon Another rabbit drive was held east of town last Sunday after noon and another is scheduled in the same vicinity tomorrow after noon. There were not so many killed as usual last Sunday and it has been suggested that the cor ral be brought on this side of the River for one or two drives. In the Lena Harkey field above town, taking in the Biggs, Mill and Brown fields is said to be a good territory for a successful drive. John Gemberling was in the H. C. livens field last Sun day and reports them thick down there A big delegation from Bums would go to either place for a drive. Mrs. C. A. Hains, who had been up from Narrows a week or so visiting her mother, left for home this morning in company with Fay Comegys. Gray-Heinz. What is described as one of the very pretty home weddings ever witnessed in this county ! was solemnized at the home of j Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Gray at i Lawen on the evening of Dec. 30 when their son Walter was mar ried to Miss Ada Heinz by Rev. Lauria in the presence of some forty guests. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Peter Christensen and Lloyd Johnson and wife acted as best man and bride's maid. After the ceremony the guests were ushered into the dining room and partook of a fine supper prepared by "Mother" Gray. Both parties are well known in this county, the bride being a daughter of J. J. Heinz and a native born Harney county girl. Walter is the oldest son of Mr. Mrs. P. H. Gray. The young people will take charge of the hotel at Lawen so long persided over by "Mother" Gray, the old folks retiring from active busi ness life. Mr. and Mrs. Gray were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents. The Times Herald joins a host of friends in wishing them a happy and pro sperous life. The Parcel Post Law. While just at the present writ ing the new parcel post is of no benefit one way or another to the people of this place, yet since it appears to have been the cause of our misfortune perhaps our readers would like to know some thing more about it. Post Mas ter Loggan is in readiness to car ry out the provisions of the law just as soon as he is supplied with means to carry it to and from his office. Some of the provisions of the new law that we have not given publicity before follews: "That hereafter fourth-class mail matter, including farm and factory products, not now em braced by law in either the first, second or third class, not exceed ing 11 pounds in weight, nor greater in size than 72 inches in length and girth combined, nor in form or kind likely to injure the person of any postal employe or damage the mail equipment or other mail matter and not of a character perishable within a period reasonably required for transporation and delivery. ' 'That for the purpose of this section the United States and its several territories and posses sions, excepting the Philippine Islands, shall be divided into units of area 30 miles square, identical with a quarter of the area formed by he intersecting parallels of latitude and meri dians of longitude represented on appropriate postal maps or plans, and such units of area shall be the basis of light postal tones as follews: '"On all matter mailed at the postofflce from which a ruial route starts, for delivery on such route, or mailed on any K)int of such route for delivery at any other point thereon or any rural route starling therefrom, and all matter mailed at a city carrier office, or at any point within its delivery limits, for delivery by carriers from that office, or at any office for local delivery, live cents for the first pound or frac tion of a pound nnd 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery within the first zone, 50 miles, 5 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound and 8 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery in the second zone, (hi to ton mues, cents ior the first iKiund or fraction of a pound and ! cents for each addi tional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery with the third zone, 150 miles to IttM) miles, 7 cents for the first pound or frac tion of a pound and 6 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery within the fourth zone, 300 miles to GOO miles. 8 cents for the first pound and 8 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery within the fifth zone, 000 to 1000 miles, i) cents for the first pound or fraction ofl.. .,,,,. hllf h ,!-,,, hhv a pound and 7 cents for each ad ditional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery within the sixth zone, 1000 miles to 1 KM), 10 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery within the seven th zone, 1800 miles to 1800 miles 11 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. "For delivery, within the eigh th zone, all over 1800 miles, and between the Philippine Islands and any portion of the United States, including the District of Columbia and the several terri tories and possessions, 12 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound and 12 cents for each additional pound or fraction of a pound. Under the new parcel ost law, which went into effect January 1, 1913, fourth-class matter will be mailable only under the new par cel post regulations, and iick ages presented for mailing which do not meet the new rOQUire ments will be treated as unmailu ble. Some of the more imior tant provisions of these new regulations are shown herewith: Rates of postage on packages weighing not more than four ounces are the same as at pre sent. Packages weighing more than four ounces take new parcel post pound rates, which are ar ranged according to distance carried. Distinctive parcel iiost stamps must be used, and packages mail ed with ordinary postage stamps will be treated as unmailable. The parcel post stamps will not be good for postage on other classes of mail matter. Sender's name and address must appear on all packages. Post-masters are directed to treat as unmailable parcels presented for mailing on which this in formation is not clearly given. Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, scions, plants, etc., are mailable only at the rate of 1 cent for each two ounces without regard to dis tance carried. Weight limited is increased to 11 pounds. Speci al parcel post stamps must be used. Printed matter, books, etc, are not mailable under new parcel post regulations, but must go as third class matter at present rate of 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction without, regard to dis tance. Parcel post stawips not good for postage on this class of matter. Unmailable Live animals, live poultry, spiritous liquors, vinous and malt liquors, explosives, ar ticles liable to injure the mails or peasons handling the same.

Wm. hiss, liogliler NO MAIL HERE SINCE LAST TUESDAY NIGHT Cosr.ctor Kellogg Quits ami Team, and Riga Not Allowed lo More Mail--R. J. McKinwn Starts Teana Today. Hums has been without mail from outside points since laBt Tuesday night and prospects are that none will arrive here before Monday as it was not until this morning that even temporary arrangements were made to get the mail out of Burns and the same team will bring back what mail there is on its arrival at Prairie. While it had been intimated that Kellogg would quit on the first of the your on account of the pare post law going Into eirect. it was not definitely stated by Mr. Kellogg and no provision was made to take care of the mail. The two local lines from this place to Venator and Dia mond were looked after by the bondsmen but the Burns-Vale and Burns-Prairie lines, which were covered by surety hnds have been lied up. Perhaps this is the first time such a thing ever happened where a contrector voluntarily quit the business without previous warning and it is the longest jK'riod that Burns has been with out mail since the beginning of a daily service. Just what will be the outcome is speculative. A government inspector is out at Vale and has stated over the phone that he will start the mail in from that point but the people of this section care little about that route as verv little of our mail comes in that way. The in spector intimates that some one iu ill ,.lv I., i'i'I inln trouble over who. Mr. Kellogg has simply quit and states he cannot fill his contract under the circumstan ces. We understand he has turned over his property to his creditors. R. J. McKinnon arranged with Post Master Loggan to go out temporarily with the mails this morning, starting one team to Canyon and another toward Vale, no arrangements have be-jn made for permanent service however. The situation is unusual. Or dinarily the bondsmen of the contractor would have to mak good, but the parcel post law go ing into effect puts a different light on the situation and there is a question whether the bond ing house can be made to pay or not. Some who have been consider ing the proposition are of the impression that we will not get a renewal of the contract from Prairie ai there is only a smal territory, ao far as imputation is concerned, between here and Canyon to serve, and no con tractor will take it for anything like what has been paid in the past. The falling off of traffic through the invasion of automo biles and auto trucks has made a material difference in the reve nue of a stage line compared to former years and it is iikely the government will not pay the price asked for a mail route. The logi cal conclusion under such circum stances is that a contract cover ing perhaps two years will be let for a daily service from Vale, conditional to conform to the ad vancement of the railroad from that point toward the interior. The Times-Herald is informed that Mr. Kellogg was one of the biggest star route contractor in the United States and it is likely that this is the largest territory in the country to be deprived of mail service at present. It is a serious matter that should have had quicker relief, but with the usual dilatory movements that has always been the policy of the post office department we are deprived for an indefinite period. The local post master is not to blame as he had no authority to move. An"Old Horse" Sale in March.
