the attention of some of the dvel'

ANOTHER RICE FARM,

Sugar, for many years, has worn
the scepter as the leading agricul-

lana. It lead in commercial value
over and above any individual
crop planted in this section In
the past the farmer neglected all
other branches of the industry III
order to make a more complete
success of the one crop. There
was perphaps another reason for
this-sugar is a twelve months
crop. The growing crop is hardly
ready for the mill before rrepara-
tons must begin for the seeding
of the next years crop. There is
no let up.
Before the war between the
North and South a large part OF the

BIGGER STRUCTURE NEEDED
EFFORT BEING MADE TO HAVE
PLANS CHANGED.

Unless sufficient pressure is brought
to hear to alter the plans now laid out,
Salt Lake s new $500, 600 federal building
will not be large enough to accommo-
date nearly all of Uncle Sans local
representatives. Salt Lake faces the
prospect, in fact, Of postoffice en-
tirely inadequate to the demands of a
city this size. and other regrettable con-
ditions are likely to prevail unless the
efforts now being made to remedy the
situation are successfully carried.
Postmaster Arthur L. Thomas is do
ing his best to get Supervising Archi-
tect Taylor of the department at Wash
ingtOn to take his view of the situa-
ton. Mr.. Thomas discovered when the
plans were first sent here that there
was a radical deficiency in them. For
instance, the postoffice now has ten
carrier windows which are visited by
nearly the whole population on Sunday
to receive mail. In the plans prepared
for the new building only two windows
are provided for. Any person who has
seen the thousands at the postoffice
each Sunday can readily comprehend
what this would mean. Even with ten
such windows there is a crush at each
of them, and it would be simply an i'm
possibility to deliver the Sunday mail
through only two. The postmaster was
taken by surprise, too. when he saw
There are 160O actually in use today,
and they do not supply the demand.
These are the mos. vital defects, so far
as the postal service is concerned. But
careful scrutiny of the architects
plans failed to reveal any provision for
the land Office. and the postal inspectors
are without room.
Larger Building Needed.
Plenty of space for the postal service.
Postmaster Thomas maintains. is i'm
perative. It is possible that more room
could be given for lock boxes and more
carrier windows might be put in by
some slight alterations in the plans,
but the officials are of the opinion that
the site should be enlarged, and MIR.
Thomas is working to that end. Unless
this done, il is feared that by the time
the building is completed a larger build
ing viii be required.
Upon discovering the defects referred
to, Mr.. Thomas took the matter up with
the supervising architect, but, unfor-
tunately, Mr.. Taylor is of the opinion
that the proposed building is sufficient
ly large to accommodate a city of Salt
Lakes population. The architect, how
ever. turned the correspondence of the
postmaster on this subject over to Mr..
Asche, the superintendent of construc-
ton. and the latter will be in Washing
ton in about thirty days. at which time
he viii present the situation clearly be-
fore the authorities.
To extend the site and, therefore, the
building, will require another special
appropriation from congress. as the
original $4,000 appropriated for a site
was turned back into the treasury when
the ground was donated. It will re-
quire every cent of the 5000 600 appro-
priation to complete the building ac-
cording to the present plans.
