in the frame building on the Diamond, fixed
up in ship shape. In addition to the many
other Improvements he has gotten all new
boxes and has added 135 lock boxes which
he purchased from the Yale Lock Manufac-

one of them is supplied with three keys
and a dummy, which the postmaster can
insert from the inside. and thus prevent
those who do not pay their box rent from
opening the receptacles. There are also five

%venient. Mr.. Davis expects to take posses
