CHICAGO P. %. MOVES.
Work Of Transferring Mail to New
Building Is Begun.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-The gigantic though
delicate task oe moving the Chicago
postofhce in the new quarters in the re-
Gently completed S6.000 600 federal build
ing, without delaying or disturbing the
handling OF approximately two million
pieces OF mail matter which the office
handles daily, began today. Frederick
r. Coyne. the postmaster, was authority
for the statement that so deliberately
have preparations been made involving
the minute calculation of innumarable
details, that the intricate work Of the
postoffiee (which collects and delivers
mail over a territory of 1874 square miles,
would proceed without a moments de-
lay.
This change of base, although only
eight blocks in distance, neeessitated a
change not only in the nice calculations
governing the routes and the amount of
mail to be carried by half the carriers
in Chicago, but in the work of railway
mail clerks whose runs center in Chi
cago.
By Sunday all mail, including the
outgoing, but with the exception of
certain kinds os second class matter
which will be handled from the tenn
porary structure for some weeks yet
win be cared for in the new building.
The moving began without ceremony
although United States Senator Hop
kins and the majority of the Chicago
congressman, together with representa-
tives from the postmaster generals de-
partment We're present. The only bit
of sentiment connected with it was the
presence by special invitation Of Post
master General Coyne of Ferdinand Q.
Jones, one of the wealthiest citizens of
Chicago. who not only has the distinc-
ton of being one of the few citizens of
Chicago who remember when the local
postoffice <orce consisted of one man,
but he owned the first private box in
that postoffiee. Jones himself construct
ed the box out of a boot leg and
numbered the box So that he might
impress his eastern friends with the
idea that the hamlet was progressive.
Our installation here today" said
Mr.. Coyne, marks distinct change
in methods of handling mail in Chicago.
Work that has been done by hand ever
since there was a postoffce here. will be
done by machinery. I believe we now
have the best equipped office mechanic
the latest machinery on the market but
vised for this building by experts hired
running from the Dostoffce to all the
principal railway stations and with the
prospect that within a few weeks all
heavy matter will be carried by electric
cars to the depot through the tunnels of
the Illinois Tunnel company, 7 believe
that the beginning of the new year viii
find mail handled faster in Chicago than
any other place in the world.

things We expect to reduce rather than

and freed as rapidly as possible from

stated that the entire outfit moved
to a point even miles north of the
town to begin work. Everything was
abandoned and the whole force con-
centrated north. The move on the
part OF the contractor could not be
explained other than that orders
had been received from Chicago to
cease operations there and go far
ther into the country. Many Ar
mour citizens expressed the opinion
that the Milwaukee people started
the graders at work up there for the
purpose of shutting out the Omaha

Milwaukee graders are at work at
