J. J. jacobson, manager for the MINI
bres Irrigating company, says that
fully sixteen acres of prime alfalfa, just
ready for cutting, has been totally
destroyed by grasshoppers for him.
This alone will represent loss of
many dollars, as alfalfa hay here
brings a good price, and damage sus-
tanned by other crops seems to be a
fair sample of the devastation they are
leaving behind them. They seem to
be satisfied with our hospitality, as
they seem unwilling to move on.

Ell PASO'S
POST OFFICE
Its Receipts Are Fast Nearing
The $4,000 Mark.

Handled Each Month is Enormous
And the Cash Taken in Amounts
to a Neat Sum-Counting,
Weighing and Classifying the Mail
Begins Next Tuesday.
The Ell Paso postoffice IL in flour
, ishiug condition.
The annual receipts, according to
the last report, compiled July i show
an increase OF from to 10 per cent
over those of the last fiscal year.
The total amount of the income of
the Office derived from box rents and
stamp sales from July 1, 1898, to July
l, 1899, wac little more than 81, 500
and since the report was made the re-
ceipts have increased at about the
| same ratio, SO that it is possible that
during the present fiscal year the re-
venues of the Office will amount to $780,
600.
The Ell Paso post-off1ce is now rated
a. one of the second class. The receipts
of first class Office must amount to
$40, 900. whilesthose of . second class
must:be SIC, 900. 1t will be seen that the
office in this city is now nearer the
$40. 900 than the $40, 900 class.
The quantity of mail handled in this
office and other business transacted is
enormous and the public as but little
conception of the work incumbent on
the postmaster and his we'll trained
force of assistants.
MONEY ORDERS.
More than s25, 600 annually, in money
orders alone is handled, and on an
average of Is pieces of registered mat
ter passes through the hands of the re-
glstry clerk each day. At least four
or five thousand sletters are received
daily and distributed, while the paper
and magazine mail is enormous, rang
ing in the neighborhood of 5000 copies
per day coming in, exclusive of those
to news dealers, and about 1900 copies
going out.
In addition to this vast volum of
mail the Office handles from eight to
ten full sacks of letters and papers
each day for Mexico and forwards them.
1t ia also estimated that at least 5000
letters are sent out from this city
through the Office each day.
COUNT AND.WEIGH.
Next Tuesday the clerks in the Ell
Paso Office will begin counting classify
ing and weighing each piece of mail
arriving in the city. This Operation
will be continued for about . month
and then . report will be made to the
department showing the result. The
contract with the railroad compsnys
arc based on reports from the various
Offices.
DELAY IN DISTRIBUTING.
Many people in Ell Psso have often
complained that too much time 10 ex-
pended each day in distributing the
morning mails and that they have to
wait too long.
A fact not generally taken into con-
sideration by the impatient public IL
that the morning mails all arrive at
about the sams time aud the mail
sacks reach the Office in q bunch.
This mail represents two-thirds of
that handled by the Office during the
entire Cay and 1t keeps the entire force
workingIto it's full capacity from $50
O'Clock to 1O:45 to distribute it. The
carriers, too, are over-burdened after
the morning mail has been opened and
it is probable that several new ones
will be added.

Washington Does Not Believe There Is Any
Truth in the Report.

Washington. April 20.-The statement
that the commander Of the German cruiser
Fake had been arrested at Apia by til"
British naval commander. was a once
secuted by the officials 10 whom it was
referred here. Both Sec. Hay and Sec
Long expressed their disbelief in the ac-
curacy Of the report. II was stated that
the navy department had heard from AL
mral KautZ by cable from Auckland at
later date than that upon which the
steamer just arrived at Victoria must
have sailed from Apia Admiral KauJz's
dispatch was dated April /. ana il wa
forwarded from Auckland. April u. II is
suggested that the steamers crew had
heard Of the arrest Of The German mana
ger of the plantation where the American
ana British sailors We're ambushed ana
HAD concluded that the person arrested
was the German commander.
II IL pointed. out in official German
quarters that the arrest of the comman-
der Of one warship ny the commander OF
another ship is air absurdity. ana more
over, in cable adVices which have reached
the embassy much later than those which
Il steamer could have brought ID British
Columbia. no such action was disclosed.
The British embassy also is without any
Information of such an occurrence.

Further along she says:
But what interests me most in your

YOU display such profound ignorance
