The Postal Department having notified the Post Masters .that they will charge third zone rates on parcels; on account of the act ual distance traveled in reaching their destination, which by line measurement is within the second . zone, it becomes necessary for the people to get busy and have routes established that will short- en the distance between these offices. Therefore, the proposi tion to petition for a route be tween Spray and Moument, men tioned in a former issue, will be the beginning of a movement to that end. This route is sadly needed, not only because it will j shorten the distance between these points, but because it will serve the people along the river who have to go a long distance . to . get their maiL More than thirty settlers along the river would." appreciate this service, besides the advantage of increas ed business facilities between the two towns. Second in impor tance to a highway along the John Day river, this mail line would be the next great advan tage in Bection. with theories of policy. The so-called protection ques tion" may not be "here," but Mr. Wilson may be very sure that when election day comes the "so called protection ques tion" will be there" and afte the following Fourth of March Mr. Wilson will no longer be "there." The people of the country have not changed their attitude on the "so-called protec tion question." The H. FRANK WOODCOCK, Register 198-9 position to the Democratic party are protectionists. They will vote togather next Novem ber and whatever Mr. Wilson may do in the meantime is of slight consequence except as in dicatingthe desperation of mind as he sees the downfall of his po litical hopes and casts hither and yon to bolster u p his failing cause, He is no more sincere in this bout-face on the matter of a tar iff beard than he is in the rever sal of himself in regard to na tional defense.
