Spec ialty recently has heen made ot ceaar chests, and a large number have been shipped away, besides those sold in the local market tor the Christmas trade. There are also made silos, ironing boards and stool. Something new. to be added to the list are wheel barrows. A sample has been made; but it will be a month bet'ore they will be shipped to the trade. Other things are to be added later. Mtogcther it makes a large industry. keeping a large force of men em ployed. Mr. Lameron recently gave the planing mill husiness in order to devote all his time to making these ods for the Far West Mfg. Co. This Dees Not IneJude Letters or Papers or Incoming Mails. It sounds almost incredible to think that in ihe neighborhood of 10, 00t packages have been leaving the local pottoffice daily for the past few days. This is the estimate made this morning by Assistant Postmaster F. M. Powell. Yesterday about 200 bags of mail left the postoffice This was just packages and did not include letters or newspapers. Each bag will aver age at least 50 packages. Of the number received here yes terday only 199 were insured. This is more than in 1915. when 144 were insured on Dec. 20. and in 1914. when the number was only 15. There are many more packages that go out without insurance than with it. General Delivery Clerk John A. Humphrey prepred 1.000 insurance stubs for this year's rush, thinking that it would be ample, but this stock is already depleted and more had to be fixed. Business is good in and around Albany. The handling of this vast amount ot business is done with ease and is made possible by the splendid co-or dination of Postmaster Stewart and the entire force. n BURBANK MARRIED Ceremony Will Be Performed This Afternoon in City of Santa Roma Santa Rosa, CaL, Dec. 20.

Burbank, who is 65 years old, was married at one time, it is said, though few knew it. Two years ago Burbank and Miss Waters met in New York where she was employed by the publishers of Burbank's books.
