The Armour Packing company has just

Better Postal Service.
Since October 1 three additional mail car
rlers have been on duty, making the force
fifteen men. Postmaster Etter has assigned
two carriers to the business district, thus
making a quick delivery Of all mails. The
collection of mail from the downtown boxes
Is now in much better condition than Il
has been in the past. There is one carrier
designated who does nothing but collect
mail from the boxes in the business dis
trict. The addition Of three carriers re-
CURED the redistricting Of the entire city
and this has been done in such n manner
that patrons receive their mail much more
promptly than before the increase In the
force was authorized by the department.

factory to all concerned. The next meeting
Of the association will be held here in April,
when officers will be elected.
Packing House Coal.
A rumor was current a day or two ago
that the packing houses might run short
Of coal. The managers Of the plants here
assert that there is no danger, as the coal
used is contracted for at the fret Of each
year and there is always a supply ON hand.
As a general thing the dealers holding the
contracts endeavor to have not less than
100 cars Of coal In the yards here all of the
time. The packers and the Union Stock
Yards company usa about SIXTY ears % coal
a day. Even with this output there is al
ways a supply on hand, so that there will
be no scarcity Of steam coal at the packing
houses this winter.
