Postmaster Backus has received author
ity from the Postmaster General to add
fifteen additional carriers to his force at the
first OF the month. This will bring the
number OF carriers up to 205
At the beginning Of the present fiscal
year the San Francisco department applied
for an increase of men to collect and carry
the mails, but was refused. This new aug
mentation of the force is certainly most ac-
ceptable both to the city and to the Post
master. 1t was impossible to do good work
with the limited number OF carriers San
Francisco has had during the past year.
Now mails will be collected in the business
portion of town fifteen or sixteen times
day. The Mission will be visited by the.
carrier three times instead Of twice each
day.
Mall will be distributed beyond Thirtieth
street and on the old Mission road.
In allowing an increase In the carrier
force of any city, the Washington Depart
ment always takes into consideration the

that in being uncivil to a press representa-

IT HEADS THE LIST.

Gridley Herald
OF all the great dailies THE MORNING
CALL OF San Francisco heads the list for
cleanliness and decency. What is more to
the point. its merits are appreciated by the
public. and the family journal is THE CALL.
Its circulation in both the city and interior
is Immense-larger by far than that Of any
other San Francisco daily. Other papers
have come and gone. but THE CALL still
leads. Editorially. THE CALL is the peer
of any journal. Its columns are free from
Objectionable advertisements. THE CALL
is journal OF and for the people. 1t Is
honest, fearless. just. Its country circula-
ton ought to be spontaneously doomed.

ing q new press manufactured and put in
