expect more OF ,ha rural carrier.
Rural carriers are not required to
deliver mail to houses standing back
from the main road, except in cases of
registered mail, special delivery and
pension letters.
The patrons are expected to meet
the department half way by providing
the carriers every facility for the per
Torrance OF their duty by keeping the
roads open after heavy snowfalls, and
by using their influence with the pro-
per authorities to maintain them in
good repair at all seasons Of the year
and under ell sorts Of weather and
conditions.
Rural carriers must not act as agent
salesman or solicitor for express COM
panies, wholesale houses, corporations
or firms, but the law provides that the
carrier shall not be prohibited from
doing an express package business,
provided IL does not interfere with the
discharge of bis official duties.
Section 2i4 Of the postal laws and
regulations prohibits them from hold
ing any county or municipal office.
They may act ss agents for newspa.
pers publishers, sell newspapers or pc
riodicals on their own account, or &C
cept and collect the subscriptions for
the same.
Rural carriers are required to take
with them on their trips for the &C.
com mediation OF their patrons, a sup
ply of envelopes, stamps, postal cards
and newspaper wrappers.
II a carrier finds an unstamped let
ter in box.and the requisite amount
of money also deposited, he is to afiix
the necessary stamp.
The carrier is empowered to regis
ter lie tiers or PACKAGES and to deliver
the same. giving and taking toe prop
er receipts on forms provided. He is
also authorized TO accept money or
ders, giving receipts therefor, and il
patrons Of the delivery desire TO make
him their agents for this purpose, he
may enclose orders when issued in an
addressed envelope confided to his
care and mail them without returning
them to the sender.
Each rural mail carrier in the Unit
ed States will be required to take
careful census of his route and write
the name in book supplied for that
purpose. Slips are prepared for the
carrier, and these will be left with the
famil les to be filed out, each clip to
contain the names of all parties, even
to the servants.
In this manner names Of every per
son along the route will be before the
postmaster, and he will hnye no trou-

tropolis is a second Denver"
In estimating the growth CT popu-
lation by postal receipts it should in
fairness be kept in mind, of course,
that the percentage of foreign popula-
ton has some bearing. In 1900 the
weary census takers were VIGOROUSLY
unfair tc Phoenix in failing to note
mere than half the population. but OF
the residents enrolled there was. pre-
sumably, an accurate record of rativ-
| ity. The figures recently published by
the census bureau for that census year
give Phoenix a total population of g.
544, OF which 3.C16 were native and
2,52S were foreign. Tucson. with 1913,
had 1913 native and 3.61S foreign. Pres
colt had 1888 native and 1926 for
eign.
While on this feature of foreign
population it is of interest to note that
the foreign population was distributed
by counties as follows: Apache, 100;
Cochise, 2,73s; Coconino. S15; ella. S31;
Graham, 3.9S2; Maricopl, 2,SS2; Mo
have. 1895; Navajo, SO2; Pima. AIS;
Pinal. 1.452; Santa Cruz, 2,15S; Yavapai,
| 3193; Yuma, 922
Distributed by countries, Mexico led
all the rest. with 14.174 sons and daugh-
tiers. Much curiosity is frequently ex-
pressed in the territory as to the num-
Der Of MeXicans here-the wCrd "Mexi-
can including people born in Mexico
as well as persons born here of Next
can parentage. a minute analysis OF
the census tables and classifications
would be necessary in order to arrive
at the exact number of Mexicans in
Arizona in 1900 But a very close ap-
proximaticn can be made AS we have
seen. there were 14,174 who were born
in Mexico. In the census tables OF per-
sens Of foreign Parentage Mexico was
included under the general head eth
er | ountries' after the specification of
the principal European nations. and
under this head Arizona is credited
with 14,C12 people. If all Of this 14,O12
be added to the 14.174 who were born
in Mexico, we have a total &C 2S.186,
and making due allowance for Mexi-
cans overlooked by the census takers
it is a fair estimate to say there were
10000 Mexicans in Arizcra in 1900
Although the population of Arizona
is American by a large majority, there
is a decided sprinkling CT foreigners in
addition to the Mcxicans. According
to the census. Ireland had 1859 repre-
sentatives here in 1900. Italy had 500:
Japan, 2S4; Norway, 1913; the Pacific
islands. 81 Poland, %; Portugal, IS;

Postal Receipts and Population
Pointers.

The table of postal receipts for the
fiscal years 1902 and 1903, printed in
J Fridays Republican, furnished some
striking suggestions concerning the
growth CT the principal cities and
towns CT Arizona. The figures indicate
| that some of the cities are growing
rapidly, while others are gaining rath-
er slowly. The most remarkable gains
last year were made by Phoenix, Pres
colt and Tombstone, but Bisbee was
very little behind them. Tucson made
| but a moderate growth, while Clifton
Morcnci, Stafford, Yuma, Kingman and
Williams were practically stationary
Some of the smaller towns did very
well. indeed. For example, Flagstaff s
receipts in 1902 were si,6S2, and in 1903
$5,43O; Mesa, gained $500; Tempe, $500;
Globe, $500. jerome dropped back $500
on account of the long depression caus-
ed by the fire in the United Verde mine
year ago.
The phenomenal gain was made by
Tombstone. That thriving little city
s3,S27, or more than 200 per cent. OF
the large cities, the splendid showing
made by Phoenix, Prescott and Bisbee
is all that could be asked. Tucson
should brace up. The old pueblo is not
losing, but gain of less than 81 900 is
nothing to be proud CT. The receipts
of the Phoenix postoffice were increas-
| ed from $26.S64 to $29,O52; of Prescott.
from s14,529 TO $1S,053; of Bisbee. from
S12,722 to s15,S53; Of Tucson, from $1S,-
eco to S19,5OO
Tucson claims, and no doubt has, a
population considerably above 10000.
and the postal receipts of Prescott,
less than $500 below Tucson's. indi-
cate that Prescott is now quite as
large as Tucson.
The statement that Prescott is now
to be classed with Tucson in size may
sound unreasonable in view of the CEN
sus returns of 1900, which gave Tucson
"a population of 1881 and Prescott g.
49, but it should he remembered that
Prescott has been growing by leaps
and bounds during the past few years.
Residents of the territory who have
not visited the mountains city since the
great fire Of three years ago can hard
ly comprehend the extent of growth.
Great modern business blocks of cut

I'll the chances involved, if that were
the only way cut. There being so many
uncertain factors in the situation. The
Republican did not consider itself able
to give unqualified advice
Since then. Gen. Sherman. the prin-
ci9al stakeholder of the water ccm-
pany. has given his assurance that he
personally will see to it that the COM
pany gives the city an entirely mod
ern plant. In proof of his good faith
he has shipped in carload after car
load of the best quality of pipe. and
the pipe foundries report that they
have his orders for much more to
follow. Il is claimed by the company
that the work of laying new mains is
progressing so rapidly that the bust
ness section of the city will have
complete fire protection within the
next two months. That is to say, there
will be available a pressure Of 100
pounds to the square inch. whereas
the franchise calls for but 80, and
the company has often supplied less
than so because of rotten mains.
The superintendent of the water
company has formally offered to con
struct new water system for the
city which will cover every part o.
the city that the plan of the Citizens
committee VIII cover. with the same
capacity and quality of pipe that the
committee proposed. and to complete
the system and have it in ooeration
on or before the first day of July.
1904" In addition to this. the com
pany will put in and keep in service
43 additional fire hydrants free of wa
ter rental. the city merely buying .he
material.
In other words. the campaign for n
modern water plant. inaugurated three
years ago by public spirited citizens
and strongly advocated by The Re
publican. has won a magnificent vic
tory. The constant agitation has Civ
en- us what we were after-a system
of waterworks which will meet the
needs of the city for the present and
the immediate future.
The company itself is taking long
chances. Its franchise has but eleven
years more to run. The company can
not get a new franchise from the city
council under the new law. y fran
chise can be granted only by the peo-
pie at a general lection.
Thus the people of Phoenix have
achieved their main purpose in this
water controversy. and they hold :he
whip-hand for the future.
There viii be plenty of time hereaf-
ter to install municipal waterworks if
the taxpayers so desire.
There is no pretense by any fair
and intelligent person that the water
rates would be any cheaper under city
ownership than they are now. for the
city would have to earn the revenue
wherewith to pay expenses, pay inter
est. and maintain a sinking fund.
Since the city can get for the pres
ent what it needs without going into
debt to the extent of a dollar. it is
clearly foolish to load up with debt
of 100000 for the same thing.
