Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-I have been
looking at the record of Dakota at the post
office department. 1t seems that the terri
tory has forty-three presidential postoffices;
a greater number than any one of nineteen
states, such as Rhode Island, Alabama,
South Carolina. Tennessee or New Jersey.
Its growth in postal facilities will best be
judged by the fact that since the first of
this calendar year there have been ninety
four postoffices established in Dakota. as

In the Empire state, New York, there
have been only seventy new offices estab-
could show the growth of the territory
more than the above showing If you
were to go into the stamp division of the
postofice department you would ascertain
the exact figures as to expenditures and re-
ceiptS for all of those offices, but it would
fill half a dozen big newspapers to give all
Of the figures. In brief, it may be said,
that since the 1st of the present month, July,
there have been sent to the Empire state
$3.50, 600 worth of stamps. That is an in
dication of business. The people who do
mercantile business are they who use most
of the stamps They are busy, guess.
Imagine the amount of work that repre-
sents. Those dollars represent not less
than 1000, 600 different stamps which have
TO be licked and pasted upon envelopes.
Besides that, there have been over 800, 600
worth of stamped envelopes sent out there
in the same length of time. These are
called especial request" envelopes, for the
reason that the government, at its own ex-
pense, prints especial request on each
envelope for the postmasters of the coun-
try to ''Return after ten days to A.
B, at --." No exhibit could
show the advance of the territory finan-
cially, and in population, more than the
above; and have given but brief, boiled
down epitome of the facts.
