' Now that residents along star mail routes have their mail delivered and taken up from private mail boxes, the same as do those residing along rural fr-'e delivery routes, they should be made to con form to the same rules as to location and kind of box used. Every carrier for a star route has a oomplaint to make that so many of the fences are placed so that they are al most inacce8sable from the roadway, or at least so located that the mail vehicle bas to be driven down in a ditch or on a high bank in order tbat the driver may place the mail in the boxes or Use np letters from them without gettidg out. The patrons of the star routes should be required to have regulation boxes so that their mail would be safe and out of the storms. A few have boxes that will protoct their mail, but the most of them nail an old broken box to a post or tree, or lay an old nail keg on the fence. This careless sys tem is both an inconvenience and a risk to the mail carrier, for the iuao cesible location of the boxes causes him needless delays tbat entail harder driving in order to make his schedule ou time, and the open boxes tempt mischievous children and pilferiug hobos to tamper with the a ail. This rifling of a mail box might ctuse eerioas trouble for the carrier for a patron expecting a letter or package and gettiug none might learn through the forwarding postoffice that it had been given to the carrier for dalivery and the., this luckless fellow would be called to account. The boxes on the star routes iu Josephine county need an overhauling and all replaced witb regulation mail boxes and the inoonveuieotly located oues placed where the stage can readily be driven near them.

Mr. Williams is now devoting his at tention to dairying and is getting a baud of flue cows.

From what we can learn Ed Lister, of Grants Pass, Ore., will receive the contract for carrying the mail be tween that and this place. The de partmeut held up the lowest hid, the coutractor or contractors not being residents of this or the Southern Oregon section. It is believed that people having the present coutraot, with headquarters in Portland, Ore., were the lowest bidders aud if they are to be disqualified our people will be pleased as (hoy nave not been giving us good service, iu particular the past five months. Ou the other bund if Mr. Lister receives the con tract he will fulfil all requirements Record, Crescent City. Mr. Lister has notification from the postoffice department that ha had been' awarded the contract. A feature that is expecially complimentary to Mr. Lister's ability to fulfill his contract to the satisfaction of the postal authorities and to the patrons of the offices served is that he was'given the contract though the present contract ors snd two other bidders had lower bids. This comes from Mr. Lister having previously handle I a part of this route and the department and the public never had occasion for com plaint. Mr. Lister takes the route July 1st and be announces that be will give the best mail and passenger service ever had on the Grants Pars aud Cres cent City line.
