Grand total receipts


The receipts for the fiscal year as will
be seen, reach almost to the 81 900, 900
mark The registry department is sepa-
rate from the other departments, but as
its fees are in stamps, the receipts of that
department are included in the postal
business. The total number Of registered
letters and packages handled from July
/, 1892 to June 30, 1893 was
100 $50 OF these 1889 were
letters and 952 parcels on which the fee
was paid here, As, l60 letters and l ,705 par
GELS were received here, 1920 packages
were received for delivery. OF the regis
tered letters and parcels "a, j10were deliv-
cred at the office here, and 15,201 by
carriers Only 200 of the registered pack
ages and letters had to be returned to the
writers on account of being misdirected
or missent.
This is a good showing for Savannah,
which has one of the few postoffices in
the United States the business of which
shows large increase over that Of the
wear previous

Under this department it will be seen,
comes the work of the mail service, the
distribution of letters and parcels, the
work connected with which is something
enormous. Each carrier handles on an
average of 1000 pieces of mail matter a
day, which of course includes both deliv-
cry and collection. The department usu-
ally allows one carrier to every 1000
persons.
Thus the Savannah postoffice handles
daily in the neighbOrhOod of 10000 letters
going and coming, and from 1000 to 5000
pieces of second class matter, including
papers and circulars.
The postal department is in charge of
Mr.. p A. Warning, the postmaster's depu-
ty and under his management the mail
matter is so carefully handled that very
few complaints are ever heard with re-
gard TO irregularity in delivery of mail.
TaB MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT.
The money order department is where
the postoffice does its big business. In
fact the money order departments indica-
tive to a large extent of, the small business
transacted between Savannah and other
places. The money order business of the
Savannah post office reached almost 81,
900 in itself last year, and it is way
ahead of the business done last year, al
though that done in the fiscal year end
ing 1891, was perhaps little larger. The
statistics of the money order department
for lS92-1S93 are as follows:

NEARLYA MILLION DOLLARS
The Showing Made by SayaRnah'S
POStOiliCe Last Year.

Both the Postal and Money Order
Business Shows an Increase over
the Reports of lse2-Immense Guam
titles of Mail Matter Handled Daily.
The Savannah Business on the In
crease.
The Savannah postoflce makes a most
creditablo showing as will be seen from
the statistics Of the years work taken
| from Postmaster Doyle's report for the
| fiscal year ending June 80.
Postmaster Doyle recently completed
his annual report and forwarded it to the
postOffice authorities at Washington. As
will be seen the Savannah postotliCe did
nearly a 81 ,000, 900 business last year and
the showing made is considerably better
than 1t was for the year ending June 30,
1892.
Postmaster Doyle was asked for a
copy of his statistical report showing the
transactions in the various departments,
yesterday, and he said that while the
showing is not as good as he would like
to have seen, it is far ahead of that
shown by last years report.
The businesses of both the money order
and postal departments which are kept
separate show healthy increase, and
are at least Indicative of the fact that in
spite of the the dull times, some money
has been on the move, and that the
monetary stringency does not affect letter
writing
THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT
The increase in the receipts of the pos
tai department, while not extraordinarily
large, have been noticeable. There are
| causes however, which operate to cut
! them down, and which if removed would
make them far larger than they now are.
The statements given. are for the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1892 and ending
June 30, 1898 The receipts and disburse-
ments in the postal department for the
fiscal year are as follows:

Last Saturday when Ben Parks, OF
Bonita creek, with three neighborG
were on the range, they went up on a
high rocky point to get good view Of
the surrounding range. They were
north Of the trail leading from Solo
monville to Morenci, between Eagle
creek and the Frisco river. Two
horses were dmcsYered and the party
going 10 them found that they were
staked out; one Of them was shod with
rawhide and both bore evidences OF
recent hard riding. While examining
the horses one of the party discovered
an Indian up In the rocks about sew
enty-ave yards away in the act Of pick
ling up something. The coWmen ali
being unarmed and not especially lin
need Of the five thousand dollar re-
ward oflered Cor the Kid, beat hasty
and irregulat retreat. The point at
which the Indian was seen was fifteen
or twenty miles from the reservation
line and near the Indian trail leading
from the San Callos Indian resOrya-
tion to the Sierra Aadre Mountains in
Mexico. Mr.. Parks is firm in the be-
lief that the horses belonged to the
Kid for they had been ridden hard.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

An interesting and important con.
gress will meet at Los Angeles, Cali
fornla, on Octobet 10, TO sit for ive
days. This Is the International Irrl.
cation Congress, the last session Of.

being present. Tt Is expected that
the Los Angeles Congress will be
numerously atteneed, not only from
all parts OF the United States, but
from foreign 'ceuntries as we'll The
following is issued by the committee
in charge Of the preliminary work Of

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
From tho ArIzona nnternrIge.

From tho Arizona Enterprise,
The exaggerated articles emanating
from the pen OF Chas. e. Lewis and
which purport to be clippings from
paper called the Arizona Kicker, are
the means Of letting those who read
them enjoy many hearty laugh. As
rule while the average American is
aware that the Kicker is a myth, pure
and simple, and that the laughable
conceits of the editor, who is likewise
his honor the mayor, are but the hu-
morous overflow Of ex-
huberant brain, such is not generally
the idea In Europe 1.-The Germans,
more especially, cvince great faith in
the locaF items of the Kicker, and the
papers in Germany freely translate
them as illustrative of the editorial
methods Of the Free and Frisky Far
West; they send marked copies to the
editor Of the Arizona Kicker, Tucson,
and correspondents from the Lieb
Fathererland are at at all times an
xious for a copy OF the sheet and
terms Of subscription.
Arizonans in whom the sense Of
humor is dulled or dead, affect to be
very much disgusted over the fantas-
tic yarns of the Kicker and claim that
they are detrimental to the territory.
Thanks to the stars the number of
dyspeptics is but few. What is there
after all in those cock and bull items
that is Objectionable? Each X .crely
illustrates the absurd vainglorlous-
ness of ye editor and mayor who de.
lights to deluge his readers with
items Of no earthly fhPoptance TO any
one else, because they give him an
opportunity to gloat over his distin-
guished past or to blow about him
self Whether he conyicts himself of
being over-imaginatiyc and contra
dictory does not bother the editor of
the Kicker in the least.
Is the type of this editor an un-
truthful ono? .Bvom thesfonowing ex-
tracts taken from the last issue Ct
paper published within one thGdsand
miles, more or less, of Tucson, we
should not say. However the reader
can'Settlc the point.
Extract one, altered as t0 places:
"In 1901 the editor of this paper
was editing the Milpltas, Alaska,
Slowcoach. At that time there was
Mr.. So and so connected with the
Keeley Motor cure at that place with
whom we had a very pleGsant &C.
quaintrnce. II this gentleman Is the
same Mr.. So and so, he is not only q
thorough expert but an unassuring and
perfect gentleman" Wonder, now,
II it is the same old assuming So and
so or not? And wont the hour spent
with him in cure "reminiscences be
one of the most pleasant of theirlives,
If so be that the two So-and-ses prove
to be one and the same So-and so?
Oh!no.
Extract the second: "We had the
pleasure Of meeting Major Beef last
Tuesday. Major Beef was an officer
in the celebrated C9rn Cob Cougar
Gaspipe battalion OF Tchoupitoulas,
while the editor OF this paper com
manded the whole army" Tar
arabo0m vAnd the item concludes
with the same old musty stereotype:
'Major Beef is one OF the old time
boys, and the hour spent with him in
war reminesces was one Of. the most
pleasant ourliYes."

1t is fitting that Los Angeles, the
"City of'the Queen of the Angeles
should be selected as the meeting
place for this congress, for in the sec
.tion ofwhich'thSt city is the oemmer-
cial centre irrigation has reached its
greatest development, and water,
backed by American pluck aud per-
severance, has accomplished greater
marvels than in any other section OF
the United States, perhaps the world.

beautiful and wealthy cities Of some
10000 inhabitants each, upon site,
that twenty years ago were svalued at
less than$5 an acre, and we're cOnsid-

ture. And Los Angeles itself is a
goodproof OF the value of irrigation,
for it has grown within a few years,
from a sleepy semi-Aexican pueblo of
1900 people to lively and beautiful
American metropolis of65, 900 popula-
tion, and this increase is due to the
development Of the surrounding
country by means Of irrigation.
