ANCIENT RECORD BOOS FOUND

Oldest Veterans.
Plarovery of an old record book In tho
archive of the Omaha office of tho
Fourteenth division of the railway mall
service, haa brought to light soma Inter
esting farts concerning the service sa It
existed back In tho seventies, when Just
started,
Theodore N. Vail, now president of th
American Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, a great national corporation, with
headquarters In New Tork, waa at that
time one of the postal clerks, running
out of Omaha to Ogden. One of tho
other. A. W. Griffin, who I (till In tho
service, haa served continuously slnco
1870, and I now one of the oldest vet
erans In the railway mall department.
He lives at 661 South Twenty-Sixth ave
nue, Omaha. ,
,
Cirowtk of Service.
Jamea E. White waa chief clerk at
Omaha at that time, the old book ahoar.
and the order In It are In hi own hand
writing and were Intended for the guid
ance of Vail. Qriffln and th twenty
alx other clerk, who then composed the
total railway mall fore between Omaha
and Ogden. Thre are now 183 men on
th earn Una. Whit, chief dark In
1X7U, later became uparlrtondent of tho
Elxth district, with office at Chicago,
and then waa raised to be general auper
Intendent of the whole railway mall serv
ice at Waahlngton. D. C.
In looking over th old book. Super
Intandent C. M. - Reed of thla district.
Assistant Superintendent Blackwell and
Captain W. S. Felt, chief of acheraeo
and schedules, were amused at th sim
plicity of tha aervlce a It waa then con
ducted In It Infancy. Each order Is
sued had to be signed by Vail. Oriffln
and all the other, to Indicate that they
had read and understood It
On Roan Trip a 'Week.
On round trip a week between her

parently was no oftlca for tho Omaha
Ogden division of the service, when th

Later they were ' designated aa railway -pos

"It la hoped that the head clerk and
clerk will be kind and considerate, aad
will respect each other' leehag and
let perfect harmony prevail."
