Act of March 3, 1879 MARK E. MOE, Editor MAIL EARLY The approaching holiday sea on is her aided by the usual request of t. • postof fice department that the public t o what it can to aid in the prompt handiin ’. of inai matter which will be increasing h; volume each day from now until Christmas. In sending gift packages two t lings are important if dissapointment is not to be in vited—careful w rapping, and lg as soon as possible. Holiday package mail may be marked to indicate it is not to be opened until Christmas, and thi permis sion should result in an increase ir early mailing. It is a mistake for any person to feel that the small amount of mail which he sends does not delay the transmission di mails, but the aggregate of mail matter ir a community like Vernonia secerely test-’ the facilities of the postoffice force at each holiday season.

Many thousands of miles of bituminous oavement throughout the rural districts, -how that engineers are awakening to the possibility of using city type pavement on country roads, where minimum construct- on and maintenance costs are essential and vhere old load base must be aalveged. A rural or sparsely settled section of the country is depended upon its highways, and these highways must function the entire year. The country understands this need, and the question of the type, cost of con- -tiuction and modern road machinery to save labor, calls for intensive thought.

O’Neill explained to surprised relatives that his clothing hud been stolen while he was away. 0------------------------------------------0 To the Editor—During the recent campaign several statements were circulated by some of those oppos ing me that were mnlicioui slander and lies. First, that I personally was trying to get a dance hall concession on the county fair grounds. Second, that I was paid to come out for represent- ative. Third, that I would have sup- ported Mr. Strattau if I had been paid enough. I have recently learned that these statements were spread over a large part of Columbia county and I take this means of defending myself and of declaring the above statements malicious slander and lies. , MAUD J.
