 THE TIDE OF TRAVEL-The tide | of travel has turned to the west in earnest and nearly every incoming ! train is heavily loaded.

 THE SIZE OF IT-Postmaster Me i Clintock has finished the estimates ] asked for by the architect of the trea- sury department, respecting the floor l space required by the federal offices in l in the event of the erection of | a government building, together with | the amount of rent now being paid | by these offices. He finds that to pro- | perly accommodate all these offices q | building would require 241SO square | feet of floor space and that the total | amount of rent now paid annually by | these offices is S5,S60. By a moments | figuring it is seen that the annual rent l would pay four per cent interest on an investment of S146,500, so that if 4 | S1O0,000 building were erected it would not take a great many years for, the government to save the initial cost in rents. MT. McClintock also estimates that in ten years the population of Phoenix will be 5O,OOO.
