The Little Red Stamp and Distant Mail Routes
The piece extols the little red two cent postage stamp, its legal protection and swift service across the United States, then details perilous routes to Circle City Alaska and other remote regions. It highlights carriers battling snow, ice, and isolation, and ends with a vivid image of stiltsome postmen in the Landes of Southern France.

Rock Island Hearing on Coal Switch Rates for Insane Asylum
The state board of charities and the Rock Island Railway faced off over a rate increase for switching coal to the asylum. The board claims the rate rose from $4 to $16 per car, prompting the board to refuse payment and file a complaint. The carrier paused service after notice, and discussions centered on compensation while awaiting guidance from officials. The railway argues the higher rate reflects new exclusive work for the asylum.
