EIGHT
NEW MAIL BOXES TO BE PLACED
IN POSITION At
ONCE.
Postmaster Beltz Arranges for an I'M
provement in the Mail servlce-An
Effort to Check the Mailing Of Let
tiers at tho Thornburoh Hotel Office
New Boxes CoIored Bronze.

Eight new mail boxes will soon be
placed in position for the better accom-
mediation of the people Of Laramie.
The boxes arrived several days ago but
Postmaster Beltz had to wait to secure
permission of the city council before
setting them up for use. There was no
quorum of the council present last
night, but Mayor Spicer and the three
councilmen there granted the permits
sion, believing the other members Of
the body would offer no objection.
Mr.. Beltz is now having the posts
made and the boxes will be in position
in a few days. They are more attrac-
tive in appearance than the old boxes,
being painted a bronze color instead Of
the familiar red.
The new boxes will be disposed Of as
follows: One large box at the Thorn
burgh hotel, n large box at the uni
versity gate on ~Thornburgh street, and
six smaller boxes at various convent.
ent places in the city.
The placing Of a box at the hotel is
with the idea Of checking the prevail
ing practice of leaving letters at the
hotel to be placed on the train by the
porter. This practice has not only be.
come something of an annoyance to the
hotel people, but has resulted in a mum.
Der of complaints Of letters going
astray. Postmaster Beltz is DESTROYS
that hereafter people mail their letters
either in the boxes OF at the postoflce.
In order that the best possible ser.
vice may be AFFORDED, Postmaster Beltz
has voluntarily arranged for another
collection Of mail. The night man will
hereafter collect the mail from the
box in the Thornburgh hotel and also
the boxes at the corner Of First and
Thornburgh, at the First National bank
corner, and at the Frazee corner. The
hour Of collection will be $50 p. m.
This, 1t is hoped, will obviate the ece
sity Of anybody taking LIS mail to the
hotel ONCE to be looked after by the
hotel people.

WHAT WYOMING FAVORS.
e. p. Snow States Views Of the Stock
men OF His State.

Secretary E. P. Snow of the Wyo-
ming state board of sheep commission.
ers at Cheyenne is at the Knutsford.
He says live stock conditions all
through Wyoming are good; that Wyo-
ming is opposed to public land leas-
ing and favors ceding the lands to the
state. Wyoming approves of a live
stock census, with reports quarterly,
ii not oftener. and the gatherer Of sta
tistics for the reports should live in
the western country. Mr.. Snow be-
lieves that a migratory tax on stock is
unconstitutional, as it taxes twice the
same property in the same year.-Salt
