ONE HUNDRED AND TEN CLERKS EMPLOYED Sixty Arr- Knnril 011 thr Onmtin mill Ouilen Run An Avrrnur lii' WnrU of 11 Hnllmiy Mnll Route Clerk. On tho second floor of tho federal build ing in Omaha Is nn ofllco which attracts llttlo attention, but whoso Importnnco la second to none In nil of tho governmental departments represented there. It Is the olllce of the Omaha district of tho railway mall service, in charge of 11. F. Shc.irer. This ofllco has control of the railway mall servlco for all tlio ronds operating; In Ne braska, except the servlco of the Burlington, which Is under control of tho olllco at Lincoln, in the servlco of the Onmlm miir .nro employed 110 railway mnll clerks, dlvldod among the roads of (ho district ns follows: I'nlon Pacific, from Otnnha to Ogden, sixty. Fremont. Ellthorn & Missouri Vnlley, from Missouri Valley, In., to Dcadwood, S. D., fourteen. Chicago, St. Paul, Minima polls & Omaha, from Omaha to Sioux City. six. Missouri Pacific, from Omnhn to Ogden, one. Ilrnnch lines of the various roads In tha district, twenty-nine. The Omnha olllco was established In 1S09, Cuptaln White, now superintendent of tho department, being the first clerk in charge This olllce was filled by an Inspector at Hint time, which was the olllclal designation of Cnptnln White, lie wus hero but n few months when tho title of the olllcer In charga was ehiilifiod. and I). B. Ball was placed In chaigo at Omaha. At that time only thrcu ro.ula wero under supervision of the Omaha olllie-lho Union Pacific, the Sioux City nnd the Fremont, Elkhom & Missouri Valley to Fremont The number of men employed was nhout twenty. Tho pilncipal line In this district Is tho Omnha und Ogdcn railway pcatolllco, em ploying us It docs sixty men. Tho work on this lino is heavy, few. If any, routes In tho United Statin handling as much mall for tho number of men employed. Tho principal mnll train is No. 1, leaving Omaha at 3 n. in. dally, carrying three mail cars with six mull clerks nnd two helpers. Tho work of the tnnll clerk begins tho day before tho train starts. In the afternoon the clerks go to tho transfer station In Council Bluffs whero tho mall for all points along tho Union Pacific nnd connecting lines Is left by tho trains from tho cast. The sacks am marked to show which contains the mall for tho nearest stations and theso uru first distributed. Tho mull clerks In the Omaha district hava to "work," or distribute all mull received by them addressed to postolllciM In Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kausns, town, Missouri, South Dakota, Illinois. Wisconsin. Michigan, Indiana. Ohio, Utah nnd Oregon. At the Council Bluffs ofllco the clerk will Hint mall for towns in all of tho stato west of Ne braska. Ho is required to know tho con necting points of nil mnll routes with hla ronil, tho star routes as well as those over railroad lines. This Is no small matter, as euny be seen when It Is known that sotuo relatively small stations aro distributing polnls for twenty-live country postolllces; but this would bo comparatively eusy wero it not for the variations In Junction points. The clerk must know tho tlmo of the arrival nnd departure of all connecting trains, nnd if his train should bo too Into to make con nection with trains nt tho regular Junction he must put the sacks upon tho trains which will carry them to their destination in tha bhortcst time. An Avernm- Uny'ii Work. With this preliminary knowlodgo tho clerk stnrlH to work. After working two hours or more In tho afternoon ho returns nn hour beforo tho tlmo of the departure of tho train in tho morning and got his car in iliupo for tho run. The run from Omaha lo Chey enne, whero ho id relieved, Is fourteen hours nud tho amount of work done by tho clorks on train No. 1 of tho Union Pacific is nhowu by tho record of uu uvurago day, that of March 8 'being taken. On that day thcro wero dlrilrlbuted 1,887 packages of letters, averaging forty to a package, or 75, ISO lettets; SOS sacks of newopuporH and periodicals, averaging 200 to a sack, or 113,000 pieces; 100 registered letters; bosldca hand ling, not distributing, thlrty-llvo puuchtH of through mall, making u grand total for the fourteen-hour run of 189,275 pieces handled, or over 31,540 articled per man. This Ij nn average day's work. Hut ometltncs there Is a rush, like ono day recently, when tho Omaha olllco wns notified of tho arrlvul from Manila of fifteen pouches of lcttern In addi tion to tho usual amount of mail, ull of which wns to bo distributed beforo tho train roached Omaha. Aa cnn bo seen, tho clerks have little tlmo lo read addrraaco, so they must accustom thcmselvcH to read tho iixkU negligent scrawls at ft glance. For this puriMiso they study contlnuoKHly and every six montha they must report for examination at tho Omaha olllce. This examination conslstH of "working" certain statin nt each examina tion. From tho llt of states required to bo "woiked" by clerks in this district ono is selected. Tho clerk Is provided with cnrdH containing tho names of nil tho postntllcin in tho stato which ho Is to "work." Taking those, ho Htnnds beforo a largo wooden case, tho pigeonholes in which nro labeled with tho nainiH of nil tho routes In that ntnte. Ho then begins tho distribution of tho cardu, placing each card In tho plgeouholo marked 'with tho routo It will tako to reach its destination. In tlno examinations nccuracy is the prime consideration, but accuracy Is not all; tho clerk must also makn a record for upeod. Tho proficiency gained in distributing theao cards Is Homcthlng remarkable. Tho hlgheut record mndo by a clerk at tho Omahn office Is 99.U3 per cent, mailo In distributing tha cards representing tho postolllces In Wyo ming. Accuracy In DUtrlliulloii, Distributing 1,573 cards nt tho rato ot seventy per mlmito the clerk made 0110 error. Another clerk In "working" tho ntuto of Missouri, In distributing 2,886 cards, rep resenting pcMtolIlces on 182 distinct routes, ut tho rate of 21. C per minute, mndo four errors und secured a grade of 99.80 per cent, Tho increase in the rank and pay of clerks de pends iu n great me-asuro upon tho rewult of tho rccoids mudo ut thtoo examinations, hut personal lit nous and n gcod rocurd made upon tho route will often set aside tho result of a poor examination, A constant chock Is kept upon the work of each currier. When ha tit and routes 11 package of letters it must bo ho marked that the clerk routing It can bo 1 ascertained. If the letter is placed In a wrong pouch a noto cf tho fact Is nent to tho olllce, whero it ucts as a demerit mark for tho clerk. Probably the man longest In tho service la A. W. (Irllllii, who wns appointed as clork In Juno, 18C8. Ho has beou out of the sorvlca hut six mnnthH slnco that tlmo and Htlll keeit up his work with tho youngest men In handling the letters and pouchea. John Davis Is another old-timer. He en tered the service In October, 1808, whero h remained until IS'Jl, when ho left tho gov ernment employ for three years, but In 1891 went Into tho registered letter department of tho Omaha postofllco, whero ho Is now employed.
