The Medford Mail Tribune's
annual Bargain Days started
Saturday morning and will last
until Monday. September 16,
and among the 44 regular car
riers who are authorized to
accept subscriptions under the
greatly reduced rates is Charles
N. Hansen, who at the age of
77 is the oldest in years and
in the point of service of any
of the paper's large number of
deliverymen.
Mr. Hansen has delivered a
Mail Tribune motor route since
1928, when these routes were
irct nreanized to provide rural
subscribers with the same fast
evening service enjoyea oy ciiy
subscribers. And in that time
Mr. Hansen has Increased his
route from 123 subscribers to
241, a very fine showing.
During the 12 months ending
August 31, Mr. Hansen has
traveled 12,480 miles and deliv
ered 70,225 copies of the Mail
Tribune to regular subscribers,
and during the next 12 months
he hopes to deliver even more
issues of the newspaper.
Mr. Hansen's route starts at
Lyman street and Hillcrest road,
and covers Spring street, Wa
bash avenue, College hill. Buck
shot Hill road. Coker Butte road
and the Crater Lake highway
to Four Corners. From there it
goes to Modoc orchard and low
er Table Rock and returns on
the Midway road, Davis road
and the old airport road, finish
ing at the Copco sub-station on
Morrow road. '
The Mail Tribune has six
motor routes that cover 237
miles in the rural section each
day but Saturday, and deliver
nearly 1,200 copies. Mr. Hansen
has lived in Medford since 1907
and for 10 years operated a
blacksmith shop- After selling
his shop he was employed by
B. J. Peart In Central Point for
eight years.
The Mail Tribune carriers
operate their motor routes on a
Little Merchant plan. Each car
rier purchases from the Medford
Publishing company each day
sufficient copies to deliver the
number of copies on his route.
The carrier pays a given price
for each copy, and at the end of
the month the total cost of his
papers are i;hi".rged to him less
the refund he has on the Bar
gain Days subscribers who paid
by the year.
Since the carriers' earning is
the same on the yearly subscrip
tion as it is on the monthly
subscription, he prefers to have
Bargain Days subscribers as it
eliminates the cost and trouble
of collecting each month.
The Bargain Days subscrip
tion rate for one year by carrier
Is $6, and for one year by mail
In Jackson, Josephine and Siski
you counties is $4.30.

in other parts there was no

bureau reported only a trace

Electric lights flickered out
