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withdrawn on account of its weight,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

ment in transportation cost, besides
which much time will U saved in the
locking and unlocking. 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.
