R is becoming evident that the first mail for Apia leaving Wellington tomorrow will be of unusually heavy proportions owing to the interest taken by New Zealanders in the first issue of the Western Samoan pictorial stamps on August 7. The first-day cover envelopes are going forward for postdating at Apia on August 7, and the New Zealand Post Office, is sending an experienced officer lo the territory to supervise the process of affixing stamps and postmarking them in the careful wav which pleases collectors. The final mail from New Zealand to reach Samoa in time for the first issue leaves Auckland on July 27, due Apia August 1. and the first outward mail from Apia following the sale of the new issue will reach New Zealand on September 2.
