There were 451 sacks of mail came on Sunday and to relieve the situation somewhat Postmaster Morison arranged to open the general delivery wicket for a short time Sunday evening. On Monday two hours was found to be insufficient to serve the' crowds who thronged the building and the result was that it was nearly mid-day before the wickets closed. ' .Employees of the post office worked night and day and the complaints at the service have been very few. As this is a branch of the public service which gets all the protests of people whose letters go astray, often from no fault of the local office, this is an occasion when they are deserving of praise for the work they have done. - ' It must be remembered that the mails at Prince Rupert come seldom and when they do arrive it causes a glut in the office. On Sunday there was not only three days mail from the East but also a big mail on the steamer Camosun from the south and this in each case included the big Christmas mail. The manner in which it was handled at a time when the employees might be expected to be celebrating the annual holiday is deserving of all rlraise. WHY SEND EAST FOR GOODS?
