TRICKS THAT WE'RE VAIN.
How HamLIton's Nasty HornsvyoE-
gled the Government for Years.

bAC0 "a O@
4 few weeks ago we mentioned the fact that
a Postal Hgent had arrived at the county scat
and was pryiDg into the affairs Of the POST
Office at that place. The Eureka Sentinel OF
last Sunday tells tho result OF his investisa-
tion as follows:
Hamilton. White Pine county, was a rush.
ing place for years. 1t was the distributing
point Of southeastern Nevada. The Govern
allowed this Postmaster a fat salary ana gave
him an additional compensation tor clerk hire.
These we're not cut OF place ia tho prosperous
days. In fact they were essential IN the ETH.
cieley of the service. but Hamilton steadily
declined.
Under the rule OF The postoflce Department
at Washington salaries and elerk hire are
regulated by tho amount OF business trans
acted by any local Office. The amount OF
stamps and stamped envelopes ordered fur
nish tbs sole basis OF estimation. 1t Is against
the law Tor any Postmaster 10 sell stamps out
side Of his own jurisdiction.
The Hamilton Nasty, however. managed to
keep up Il good showing With the Department.
He ordered regularly each quarter rs many
stamps as wore required to supply the people
in The aash days. do Kept almost apace with
the Eureka oinee. Presumably those stamps
were unloaded on the outside. As Il result
there was no curtailmeut either Of his sal
AIRY or clerk allowance.
la All Inflated hour, however, q copy Of the
Nevada Census found its way to the General
Post Office at tbs Capital. That entertain
ing document showed tho population OF Ham,
