A inaiiufaeturinz establishment in

ely has increased to a dozen. 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.

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.

BURBANK MARRIED
Ceremony Will Be Performed This
Afternoon in City of Santa Roma
Santa Rosa, CaL, Dec. 20. Luther
Burbank, famous plant wizard, will
be married in San Francisco tomor

ters, who has been his private secre
tary for two years. Details of the
arrangements for the ceremony could
not be learned today, but it was re
ported that Rev. Ernest Bradley,, of
St. John's Episcopal church, San Fran
cisco, would officiate.
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. Their romance is
said to have been fostered not only
by personal equation and her interest
in his work, but by their common in
tcrest in matters of physical research
So Bnrbank induced her to come here

THIS IS A FUNNY STORY
una Caprice Claims it Was Tragic
Whan It Happened
June Caprice says that the depart
ment store clerk may have been tak-.
jng advantage of her youth and inno
cence when he answered her as he
did. This was the way it happened:
June said:
"These gloves are undressed kid.
aren't they?"
The clerk said they were.
"Will they shrink if washed T. was
Miss Caprice's next query.
"Madam." said the cierk. "have yon
ever heard of undressed kids which
did not shrink from washing?"
June hastened to the William Fox
studios to resume her work in "The
Ragged Princess." which will be seen
at the Globe I'riday.
