GOVERNMENT
NEEDS BUILDING
At NOgaleS for Customs
and POStOffiCe.
Delegate Wilson Investigates Con.
ditiOns and Will Introduce
Bill in Congress.

Col. }. F. Wilson returned this
morning from his visit to Nogales,
where he went to investigate the nee
essities of custom house for the gov
eminent at that place. He made a
thorough investigation of existing
conditions under which business is at
present transacted, as we'll as the vol
ume of business transacted and the
expense to the government.
He was seen by a representative of
the Journal Miner today and when
asked as to the result of his trip he
said that he found that the total an
nual receiDts OF the customs office at
that place was 800, 1853 10, and the to-
tai receipts for the entire district of
Arizona are sl2i, 416.56. The total
yearly expenses are $40, 553.4S.
He found the customs office stuck
away back in four dingy little rooms
up stairs over the railroad depot, a
wooden building, into which the
smoke from passing engines was con-
tinually waited to the discomfort and
Inconvenience of the employees and
that the risk from fire was very great.
he said the rooms were not one quar-
ter the capacity they should be for the
proper conduct of the business and the
accommodation of those transacting it.

the government is paying 5000 per
year, and for an additional watch
house it pays $50 per year.
Going across the line he found that
the Mexican government has a fine
500. 600 building for its custom office
and postotfice combined, with spac-
ious we'll lighted, we'll ventilated com
Portable rooms for its officers and
with complete inspection grounds.
The collector is also provided with
residence in the custome house.
He next visited the postoffice on the
American side and found it in little
adobe building with no light, and no
means of ventilation except through
the open door. This office handles
over p, 900 registered packages a year
or more than Tucson, Phenix and
Prescott combined. The facilities are
the poorest of any office in the terri
tory, the employees working from 3 |
O'Clock a. m. until O'Clock p. M,
and being compelled to literally tramp |
over the mail. A rental of 500 per
year is paid for this office. He says
that five times the present space is
absolutely required for the convenient
handling of the mails and the comfort
of the officials, and he says that |
at the next session of congress he
will introduce bill for the erection
of custom house and postoffice COM
bined. He says he proposes to secure
photos of the fine Mexican building
and the one in which the United
States custom office is located to show
the committee the contrast between
them

Singing Into Photographs.

A young woman who makes her liv-
ing by singing into monographs
talked the other day about her job.
I'm this work." she said, there is one
great difficulty, and that is the alb
sence of an audience. When a singer
comes out before Big audience to
sing. the sight of all those persons
is frightening to her, but at the same
time it is inspiring: it keys her up;
it takes her out of herself and beyond
herself. She does better than she
would have thought 1t possible to do.
Singing into a phonograph is hard be-
cause there is nothing there to in
spire and intoxicate you. Instead OF q
house of people eager to be pleased
you have an empty room and q big
cylinder. Hence you feel dull and

A section of old English rail that
was rolled in Liverpool, Eng, in 1884.
and laid down on the roadbed of the
Boston & Lowell railroad in 1885, has
been presented to the railroad COM
missioners. In 1897 the section in
question was taken from the yard in
Lowell and recently treated to coat
of black paint and varnish and an in
scription in gold, giving it's history,
placed upon the web. In addition to
the rail, there are three chairs, also
of English manufacture, which occupy
the same position they did when the
iron was laid. Although the metal
has been in service more than half a
century, it shows but little wear, and
would make fairly good rail to-day.
One of it's characteristics is the truss
ing of the under part between the
chairs.
