PARCEL POST HELP TO THE JAILROADS Business in This Department of Sys tems Shows a Remarkable In crease During; Last Year. CHRISTMAS RUN EXTRA HEAVY ft I ages t Pay at Barlfaarea gtaHea Transfer la Faarteea Haaared Kafka, w!4fc Flfteea Pack ages Average for Eaeh. . It Is probable that there was ae de partment of any business In Omaha that shewed a greater Increase last rear tban tho railroad end of the parcel post. While the returns are net all complete, it Is estimated that the business for Christmas week was 66 per cent creator than dur ing the corresponding period of one year go. The real clearing house for the rail--road parrel poet mall of Nebraska Is the . station at the Burlington passenger depot. There, during the six days preceding Christmas the receipts averaged 20,000 per day. One day 1.400 sacks, averaging six teen packages each, were handled. Dur ing the week forty men were employed, they working In shifts of eight hour" each, thus a force being on duty each hour of the day. Three solid trains, each loaded with mall, came each day over the Burling ton, and one duy an extra train of twenty cars was added. At the Burlington depot, where the parcel post mall waa trans ferred to and from the other roads, the sacks end packages wsre routed and sent on their way. And one of the most le markable things about the handling -of this mall was the rapidity with which It was gotten out of the way. Every ehlft cleaned up the mail arriving en its time, o that when new shifts went on duty the men found nothing to handle, or work over except mall that came In or went out on their own time. Hiini wai jiaaaiee. Though cramped for space to handle the vast increass In the mall, the officials feel that they got away with the business in good shape. Fowls, meats and perish able stuff that came or went had special attention and was kept la cool rooms until sent out If mall of this character arrived and was consigned to parties -within the Omaha free delivery district. It almost Immediately went out by spe cial messenger. Packages that contained articles that were fragile or liable to be broken were placed In compartments by themselves, er with packages of their kind, not being sacked and stowed away with the great mass of articles contained In the sacks.
