CARRIERS FOR WEST SIDE.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 81
A controversy that has been before
the postoffice department for six years
was ended today by the appointment
of Fred o. Blood to be postmaster at
Las Vegas, N. M. An order was
simultaneously made disseminating the
old Las Vegas Office, changing the
name of the East Las Vegas Office to
Las Vegas and extending the free de-
livery service over the territory now
supplied by the Las Vegas Office.
Changes will take effect tomorrow"
The above Associated Press dis
patch tells, briefly, the story received
today from Washington by both Post
masters Blood and Salazar.
Postmaster Blood received
orders to put two carriers to de-
livering mail on the west side tomor-
row, and Postmaster SalaZar got a
dispatch telling him to prepare to
turn over the greater part of the
equipments Of his Office to the east
side postmaster.
The first intimation of the sudden
and radical change came in the form
of the telegram to Mr.. Blood, order
ing him to put two carriers on the
west side in the morning. Not long
d1tcI CAME the uiSpdlCu u GOStildot-
er Salazar, which read as follows:
POSTMASTER, Las Vegas, N. Nj,
March 31.-Las Vegas office discon.
tinued, to take effect today. Trans
nit by registered mail all p~ostoffice
property belonging to government,
letter balances, scales and money ~
cepted, to the postmaster at East Las
Vegas, taking receipt therefore. Take
duplicate receipts for stamps, listing
them by denominations. Forward
originals to auditor when Office is
closed. Letter balances and scales
return by registered mail to supply
division. Send mail key and lock,
registered, to mail equipment divis-
ion. Forward by registered mail to
money order division. all blank money
registers and advice forms on hand.
That Office will send instructions as
to disposition of money order reports
and advices paid and unpaid.

Mr.. Blood's first telegram was
from Acting First Assistant Post
master General Holly. Later in the
day Mr.. Blood received the follow

were visible at tn local depot for a
few moments yesterday afternoon
Frank went to his old stamping
grounds in Chicago, not long since,
expecting to remain for three weeks.
However. I Lldn't do a thing but
rain. and the railroader began to peak
and pine for sunshine and blue skies.
Accordingly he returned a week
ahead of time.
Troop A held a lively drill last
night.The Troopers turned out in force
and went through their PAGES with the
precision and ability that marks ex-
cellent drilling. A short business
meeting was held, after which Mr..
Benedict was received as a member.
Sunday afternoon at l O'Clock there
will be a mounted drill for officers
and non-coms. Very gratifying condi-
tons prevail in Troy, A. which has
