and Gualala's doane postmark. Highest Type 3 in these two counties.

Only three this morning, but with background information.
The first is where I begin collecting RPOs.
Aug 1 1882 was supposedly the changeover date from route agent service to R.P.O. service on all lines. However, the changeover took considerable time and it was not until about 1886 that the R.P.O. system marking became the normally used device.
The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad began the extension of their 30 mile line from Sausalito/Petaluma line in 1869,
reaching Santa Rosa (18 miles) in 1870,
and Cloverdale (32 miles) in 1872.
The Cloverdale and Ukiah RR (30 miles) was begun in 1886 and completed in May 1889.
Ukiah to Willits, 24 miles in 1902.
Eureka was finally connected on Oct 23 1914.

A letter to Switzerland using the five-cent War Issue portrait of King George VI in military uniform. The slogan attached urges the public to conserve coal production by reducing usage 20%, CONSERVE COAL SAVE ONE TON IN FIVE. The letter to the International Red Cross in Geneva was censored by both Allied and Axis forces.

Three today, all here.

Yorkville's 2nd commercial ornate post marker, MEN-4210, California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 records the use as May 25 1886 to Nov 1 1990. Some where I came across 1890 census records that included 24 Mendocino county towns, Yorkville = 27. Postmaster compensation for 1885 was $57.56.

Eureka & Scotia RPO,

A rather different corner card.

Edit to add comment.

Good morning, three covers for today.

Punta Arenas,



Cuffey's Cove, can anyone explain the rate paid here? Double registry and 5C postage? Really like the hand stamped corner card.



and 7/8th of Eureka,

Three today, beginning with
Kibesillah, which used their second (of two) commercial post markers, a two line oval town and county marker, but it's kinda faint,



a Eureka Registered letter that shows an early use of Eureka's Registered Postmark (Hum-1820, recorded use from Feb 25,1907 to June 19, 1907) and a straight-line Eureka on the stamp,



and a postcard from Rohnerville.

Point Arena, glad Nora didn't have to swim Alder Creek!



and Little River. The Little River post office used this postmark (Men-2140) from April 1906 to January 1915, when the office combined the two names into one as seen in Yesterday's post (Men-2150) Under USPOD new guidelines, I think.



edit to add note abut Nora.
