RURAL DELIVERY DIVISION
Establishment of Headquarters at Omaha
Again Hecessary to Service.
MISTAKE MADE BY DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR
Political Eilencle In Kaam and
Mlaaoarl the Exrase for De
priving Till Sectlo of
' Weeded ( rnirnl Office.
The reported re-establlshment of the
western rural free, delivery headquarters In
Omaha la very gratefully received by the
postofflce authorities. The removal of the
division from this city In June last was
brought about by "Influences Inimical to
Omaha and to further the polltlral for
tunoa of one or two Kansa." Rnd Missouri
statesmen and not for any manifest benefit
of the service," as stated by an official
connected with the federal departments
here. The growth of tho rural free delivery
service In the territory naturally contigu
ous to Omaha has been greater than In any
other section of the country.
Assistant Postmaster Woodard says In re
gard to the matter: "The need of divi
sion headquarters here Is apparent almost
dally. Inquiries are being constantly made
relative to the changing of routes, their en
largement, etc., and all of these Inquiries
have to be referred to St. Louis, where It
will naturally take some little time for a
reply. When the division waa located here
all of these Inquiries could be answered
readily and the proper remedies applied
without delay. With the growth of the
rural free delivery system In this state and
Bouth Dakota, as well as Iowa, Minnesota
and Wyoming, the need of division head
quarters la at once apparent. Then, aside
from that. It will bring a number of fam
ilies here who will become residents of
Omaha. Tho quarters for such headquar
ters are already here, fully equipped, and
but little expense need be entailed In estab
lishing the division headquarters here at
once."
Postal Information.
There has Just been Issued by the Post
office department a neat and comprehensive
little pamphlet giving In a concise form all
the general information of interest to the
public relative to portofflce matters, rates
of postage, the different classes of mall,
what matter Is mailable and unmallable,
etc., and rates of foreign postage, parcels
post, etc. These little books are for the
service of the public and copies can be had
on application at the stamp window of the
postofflce without cost. Assistant Postmas
ter Woodard has Just secured a large num
ber of them for the Omaha patrons of the
office and wishes that the public would pro
cure them as a matter of essential Informa
tion relative to postal affairs
