HEPPNER MILLING CO. UNDER LOCK AND KEY By L. M. Lamm, in September Pop ular Mechanics. It takes more than a million locks to protect the United States govern ments letters while in trant.it. The department makes and keeps in re pair not only all of these locks, but all fastening devices used in the mall service. Previous to 1889 everything of this nature was furnished and re paired by contract at a great expense. In that year it was decided to repair the locks and a small shop was in stalled at Washington. After experi menting a while is was found that the department could do the work not only cheaper than by contract but better. The following year is was decided to enter into the manufac ture of locks, keys, and mail-bag at tachments, as it was believed it would be a great advantage to the depart ment to have its own shop where or ders could be filled more promptly and with less danger of keys getting into the hands of those not entitled to them. From the small room equipped with one drill press and one stamping machine and employing half a dozen workmen the shop has grown until now it is a complete factory, equipped with tools and machinery necessary for the converting of sheet steel and brass and other material into locks and keys and the many other attach ments that are made. Among other features, the present factory contains a press room with 14 stamping ma chines, a lock-finishing and assem bling room, a miscellaneous room where cord fasteners are assembled and other equipment made, a depart ment where hundreds of postal scales are repaired, and a tinning plant where all mail-bag attachment are tinned to prevent rusting. Shortly after the shop was estab lished a defect was found in the mail lock, and steps were taken to design a lock that could not be jarred open, with the result that the "Eagle" lock, later called the "Double Star" lock, was designed. More than 1,000,000 of these locks have been made and put into service since that time. Al though this Eagle lock has given the best service of any lock ever used on mail bags, it is now being gradually withdrawn on account of its weight, and replaced by a still later lock known as the "La," weighing only 2 4-5 ounces, or about one-half the weight of the Double Star and costing less than one-half as much to manu facture. As the carrying of the mails is paid for by weight, the La lock will result In a large saving to the govern FBORMRMYS L h4te iWt UW Mi IM rob. u r. sir near CowGirfs lfe$0 c!

Thin in an important feature, especially with the railway post-ottlce clerks, where ev ery minute counts. One of the most important and in teresting locks in use in the postal service Is the registered-mail lock, commonly called the "rotary." This lock is equipped with a registering mechanism having four dials, each) numbered from 0 to 9, which indi cates the number of times the lock is unlocked. Each Is also provided with a serial number stamped on the out side of the case, no two bearing the same number. Pouches containing registered mail are kept locked with these and a record of both the serial number of the lock and the regis tered number as shown on the dials. If any lock reaches Its destination showing a different number on the dials it is at once known that it has been tampered with. Aa each clerk who handles the pouch is required to receipt for the same. It is practically impossible to tamper with the con tents of the pouch without detection. These locks were formerly made with cast cases and were purchased by the government at $2.50 each. An improved case, which la drawn from sheet brass, has been designed by employees of the shop. It makes a lock of much neater appearance and lighter in weight, at a cost of 90 cents each. Savings such as this have been made all along the line. Some idea may be had of the growth of the postal servjee from the fact that in 1S90 only 300,000 locks were needed for locking pouches, while at the present time there are over 1,000,000 used for the purpose. The number of registered locks re quired has increased during this per iod from 7,000 to 8,000. Keep Does Muzzled. Heppner, Oregon, July 20, 1915. Owing to the prevalence of rabies in the immediate vicinity of Heppner, the City Council, looking to the wel fare of the people of our town, has ordained that all dogs shall be muz zled or kept chained up until such time as the City Health Officer thinks the danger is past. Therefore the Marshal has been instructed to kill all dogs found running at large with out muzzles within the corporate lim its of the City of Heppner on or after July 25th, 1915. Due notice will be given when this order is annulled. This order will be strictly enforced. People outside the city limits are re quested to keep dogs at home as there will be no exception made. Rabies has ceased to be a joke and the welfare of the people demands this action. W. W. SMEAD, Mayor.
