The Phoenix postoffice now takes
rank in the frst-class, the stamp
sales of the Office having exceeded
the amount required, $4,000, for the
year ending March 81, 1907. The
actual receipts during the year we're
$40, 45l. The receipts for the pre-
vious year we're $35,663. The April
and May receipts just past are re-
ported to be the biggest in the his
tory of the Office. This will increase
the salary of Postmaster McClintock |
500. 'Our elevation" said Postmas- !

formerly. 1t also indicates that
Phoenix is doing more business than
any other city in Arizona or New |
Mexico, this being now the only first
class postoffice in either of the terri

r. H. Benton, of Imperial valley, a
brother of w. G. Benton, was in the
city making arrangements for the
of twenty-one cars of cat
tie which he has purchased in the
last few days in the Williams country
and will be shipped from Kirkland to
Imperial valley. Range cattle are
selling at SIS to SIC for yearlings, Sl8

in Arizona and New Mexico are thin

water, and rain is much needed.

river. The river is receding at pres

within d foot of the level that it
reached last year. In few days ten
to twelve cars of cantaloupes will be
shipped out of the Imperial valley.
1t is estimated that there will be a
total af 500 carloads as against 355
last year. Tomatoes and water
melons are being shipped in consid-
cradle quantities.-Republican.
