and other family names in the same
town and sometimes three or four per-

loss of mail matter. During the holi-
day season these mistakes multiply and
add to the burden and the complaints
which the postoffice employees must
bear meekly. 1t Is A. fact that is often
upon that the postoff1ce en-
ployes and the railway mail clerks are
the hardest worked Of Uncle Sans SER
wants and around Christmas time they
not only work but slave.
Another class of people that the
Christmas season brings little Joy to Is
the employees Of the express companies.
For several days past the companies in,
this city have had all they could attend
to and no extra help was given them.
For several days they have been at
work day and night. The business is
heavier than ever before in the history
Of the offices and the outgoing matter Is
heavy. Santa Fe people are
remembering their out of town
friends and the increase in this line IL

heavy at Lamy last night that 1t was
necessary to send assistance down from
here to help in loading it on the through
trains. The wagons are kept going
through the entire day anc every effort
Is made to keep up with the heavy In
crease Of business.
