A fire was discovered in small

o'clock this morning. The building
was occupied by two men. Albert
Curran and Albert Phelps. Both men
had a narrow escape, and were only
able to remove a small part of their
personal property, Phelps lost all
his clothing and Curran is left in
about the same condition.
For a time it looked as though h
disastrous fire would result. as the
sides and end of the theatre were
smoking and it would only have taken
a moment for them to burst ito flames.
The fire department did good work
and soon had the flames uner con-

saving any part of the block. which
is occupied by frame buildings. The

INCREASE OF BUSINESS
During the Past Year Will Advance the
Ka1ispe1l Post Office to the
Second Glass.

'Kalispell is entitled to free postal
delivery and the service can be secur-
ed if the business men make an en-
deavor to that end. The receipts of
the Office for the past nine months
have been over $4,000, and by the close
of the month they will have reached
100000" said Postmaster Bernard, yes
terday afternoon The local Office is
now known as third class Office"
that is, one selling less than $4,000
worth of stamps, stamped envelops
postal cards and box rent per year.
The receipts from the postal orders
and registered packages are not in
cluded in the classification of an office.
THE fact that the receipts of the
Kalispell Office during the past year
have been almost Is percent more
than necessary will advance the Office
to the second class. At the present
time we are transacting the business
of second class office on an apprOpri-
alton of a third class postoffice.'
Besides having handled on an aver
age Oh 1000 letters day and receiv-
ing the equal number for local deliv-
cry some idea of the amount of bust
ness transacted can be had from the
fact that, from July to Dec. 81, 4,137
money orders were issued and over
1000 registered packages sent out.
The above figures do not represent
such mail received from outside points
addressed to Kalispell residents. The
local money order business alone will
represent cash transactions of over
100000 per annum.
The city, as can be seen, is in pc
sition to demand free delivery and the
matter should be taken up at once.
Free delivery does not always follow
the advancement of postoffice from
the third to the second class, and is
only secured upon proper showing
made to the postoffice department.
Kalispell will be rated as having q
second class postoffice after March
81.
