A RUSHING BUSINESS

The Postoffice is the Busiest Place
There are some people who are glad that
Christmas comes but once year, and
among that number are the clerks in the
Los Angeles postofiica. They have more
work than they can properly handle at all
times, the authorities at Wa .hington appa-
rently being unable to realize or appreciate
the marvellous growth of Los Angeles. and
to make adequate provision for keeping up
with it; but when the holiday season
comes the office is simply overwhelmed.
The quarters are very much cramped,
there beng only about half as much floor
space as is needed to properly handle the
work, and when the amount of mail mat
ter is more than doubled, some idea of tn 9
incouveniencies under which they la Dor
can be had.
The postoffice is now doing the heavies
business in its history. On Wednesday
last the main Office handled 624 registe red
letters and packages, 219 more than the
heaviest day last year. Besides this, AZ
pouches of letters and 246 sacks of mail
were sent east, and 1873 sacks were re-
ceived from nearby points and sent out.
Three wagon loads of Christmas packages
and l s packages of registered mail were
sent out by the Chicago limited over the

INFORMATION is WANTED
OF People Supposed to Be Now in This
Vicinity
Letters Constantly Coming to This City In.
curing for Persons Who Years Ago
Wont Astray

A large number of the people who disap-
pear, leaving loving relatives, friends or
creditors to mourn their departure,
throughout the country, must have made
their way to Los Angeles, as the autho =
ties of this city are constantly in receipt
of letters requesting information upon this
subject. Mayor RAIDER was absent only
three. weeks, and when he returned he
found upon his desk three separate and
distinct inquiries of this description.
Mrs. Jordan Appley writes from New
Orleans that she has not heard from her
brother, Frank Jordan, Stree the war. Two
years ago she heard that he was living in
Los Angeles.
Ellen Hedermann writes from st. Louis
for information concerning Thos. Heder-
mann. who was last heard of about eight
years ago from Louisiana. Thomas is,
according to the inquirer. supposed to be
either in Los Angeles or Mexico, the terri
tory intervening, by the way, covering a
multitude of sins and several other things.
He is about so years old according to the
description furnished and about six feet
tall. He had an anchor on his left wrist
and was born in County Glare, Ireland.
Mrs. Hedermann wants the mayor to adj
vertise in his daily paper concerning the
departed Thomas, which will of course bar
out the Times.
Miss Annie DiImel of Santa Ana wants
to locate Hiram Hoyt, whose relatives east
would like to hear from him. Hoyt, ac-
cording to Miss Dilmel, lives somewhere in
Los Angeles.
The mayor has diplomatic way of turn
ing all such letters as the above over to the
reporters, which saves postage stamps
and every other trouble in connection with
an answer to his enquiries. The papers
never refuse to publish these alarm notices
and as result: nearly every case of I'M
known absentees is, after time, turned up.
