The letter sent you ;i week ago eon.. I..1 < ' vauiirvi <l unci UC!?Cl HK.IUII OI I IIP Clieigelic methods which characterize the Treav-' ury and Navy Departuients under the \ present administration, but it must n.r j be supposed ili.it 11 le spirit of prog res i is contined to the two departments rue..- ! tinned Perhaps tlie most important di- ! vision of the work of the governm it. is i performed by the. Post Otlice Depart- ! merit, for the reason that its efficiency j effects every citizen. For a number <>t years, the extent, to wliich civil servici* i reform methods have lieen carried out in i this department hare been proverbial ! and when the present postmaster genera: j assumed otlice lie. announced that there- ; after no fourth class postmasters would be removed except for cause. But it is. ! perhaps, in other directions that tingreatest progress is lieing made. The ' extension of the rural free delivery sys- ' tern lias progressed with marvelous ra- i piditv. At the present time, the rural routes cover an aggregate terii'orv of over 251),000 square miles and in ilia' aiea ; some 6,000,UtM) people enj >y the privi- j lege of receiving their mail daily at their j doors. Congress has been hlieral in its appropriations fortius purpose and there ! is every evidence that the people are ; grateful. One of the mosr. remarkable j features of the extension of rural route* j is the great increase in the number ot t letters mailed in the districts served. It j would seem that a daily delivery and 3 collection of the (nail h id served to ini- ' pell all the residents of t.lie localhv to t write to their fiimrls at 1 ?st Uiroo ti iv< i as often as had hitherto be"ii "heir cm- } torn and thisgreat increase in the amoum. I < f mail carried is not limited to the first, few months but continues steilib, though in home what diminish'* I ra'io. The only objectors to the extension of the rural delivery routes are star route carriers whose business is injured thereby, 3ome country merchants who claim that they have suffered a falling off in trade beccuse the farmers are no longer compiled to come frequently to to .n for their mail and certain politicians and their proteges, who see in the extension of the rural routes a necessary diminution in the numlier of sm.iil cross 10 ids post offices, the poatmasU rs for which the politicians have always 1 aiued and have regarded as essential to the fur therance of their political fortunes. An inteiesting feature of the extension of the rural sei vice is th<* gradual plat ting of the United States, maps having been already made for the large area where the delivery now prevails, eacli map showing every residence, store, shop, etc. These maps, under the ahle superintendence of Mr. W. A Machen superintendent of the rural delivery division, are produced at an exceedingly small cost from data and drawings furnished the |>ostol11ce department by lo-! cal assessors, and other officials. They are reproduced by a cheap process and their value when the whole area of the United States shall have l>een so mapped will prove incalculable. The traveler in Ute rural districts can easily ascertain EROOM I LST e prices of immer Clothii lirts, Hats, SI d Summer Di @ From i IAT YOU , ESE PRH i ZEflSmm the tiest roads, the most settled district | etc., by consulting the post otlice ma j Another benefit growing out of the ru ?il delivery system is the improvement . country roads, reasonable imppovemei J being essential to the establishment new routes. Another evidence of the spirit of pr gress exemplified by the i>ostoflioe d partuient is furnished bv the system prepaid postage which is being develoi ed bv second assistant pos.in ister gene : al Shellenbarger. lirietly stated, t ; proposed plan cons'sts of the sal? of e i velopes having a vilue of cents ar ? multiples thereof, each of which w 1 hear on its face a coupon which will i redeemable in any country belonging ' the postal union, in stamps of thatcou i try of a similar value. An iuternation ; clearing house is to he established i i Her ie, Switzerland, where these co p n?s win oft redeemable by the counti issuingthem. By their use tlie reside of the Uiiited States can purchase f 10 cents a return postage envelope ar in it mail a letter to Germany The r cioient of the letter can take the emp envelope to the post office there and e change it for postage with which to aii i ha answer to the United States. The are sonift further details of the plan b these will suffice to make it clear. The are hut two of many improvemen which are being inaugurated under tl energetic and business like administr i tion of Postmaster General Payne Annual Association.
