"All Chrlstuma parcels will be dc llvcnd on Christmas morning," Is the stati'iiipril made by Postmaster Davis yesterday. The olflco hero put on exha help and one complete delivery of letters will bo made and automo biles will bo used for all the Christ mas packages arriving tomorrow.

In addition to these Mr. Davis announces that they have two extra cars Hint can bo put In use at a moment's notlco If they are needed. Clirlsinns Day Is a logal holiday and the postoJIlce employeos are allowed to nmko it such but they are willing to work in order that others may enjoy their Vulctido festival to the fullest extent. The deliveries of packuges this wcc.i have been exceptionally largo. Thus far llioy liavo averaged over five hundred parcels each day and tomor row it will probably bo larger than that. The outgoing parcels have amounted to more than that but no record of them has been kopt. A new parcel post station has been operating near the depot tills week for tho purpose- of routing the parcels that are sent any dlstanco cast or went This In tho charge- of C. S. T '!;', chic; cleric of the railway post ofllco between Omnha and Ogden. lie has four assistants and they are kept busy all of tho time. Tills in to route tho parcols when there are ho many flint tho clerks on tho trains can not handlo them. For lnstnnce, a carload of parcols to bo sent over Into Iowa was sent out this wcok and they routed tho parcols to tho five tormlnal stations in Iowa where- llioy wore bo sent to tho differ ent towns. There woro so many pack age that tho dorks on tho trains could not handlo tliem with tho local parcels and routing them hero ex pedites their delivery quite ma terially. Postmaster Davis hopes to mako a regular tormlnal of North Platto for another year so that all that work will bo done In tho olllco the same ns Is dono In Omaha. That would re quire somo men tho year round and during tho holiday rusli would prob ably lake- at least twelvo or fifteen. It would bo established for tho pur pose of handling tlia deliveries from Cheyenne on west and tho parcels from tho wost that go east of Nebraska.
