Quarters increase .......$2,359.4
Moaning First Glass Rating.

The present quarter which includes
the months of October, November
and December with the heavy fall
and holiday business will far out
strip the summer quarter and the
postoffice force expects the receipts
to reach fully 10000. The total re-
ceipts for the year will be fully a
third larger than last year and are
expected to reach about $4,000.
Such an increase will, however, not
place Amarillo in the list Of first
class offices because the ratings are
made by the statements on the first
of the year and it requires annual
receipts Of $4,000 to place an office
in the first class. At the present
rate of growth or even at diminished
growth, the office will easily reach
first class rating by the end of 1908,
The securing of a first class office
will result in many substantial ad-
vantages to the office here. Equip
ment and supplies are given out first
to first class offices and acquisitions
from such offices are given much
more prompt attention than orders
from smaller offices.
To Increase Carrier Force.
On the showing made this year,
the office force will be entitled to a
larger force and Postmaster Ingerton
has already made application for two
more carriers and one more clerk.
Action will not be taken on this till
the visit of the inspector some time
later in the fall Rapid growth in
many parts Of the town make neces-
sary a new arrangement of carrier
districts and two new carriers will
find their time fully occupied North
Of the Denver and east of the Pecos
Valley, the community development
is such as to make the location Of
substations desirable but these i'm
provements will not be made till the
office reaches the first class,
Ovcrcrowding Continues.
IN the meantime the overcrowding
in the local office continues. How
the office will ever be able to handle
the holiday business this year Is a
problem for which none of the force
can offer a solution because all avail
able room Is in use now and the
enormous bulk ofChristmas mail will
present greater difficulties than ever
before. Relief is in sight now but
under the contract with Nicely and
Crudgington for the new postoffice,
the office will not get into new quar-
ters till May 4. The new postoffice
will have a floor space over double
the size Of the present office and will
give ample room for the various de-
partments.

A Rapid Transit car going at con-

rails yesterday afternoon short dis

bridge on King street, grinding along
in the road for some distance. None
of the passengers were injured and the
car was replaced on the rails after
about an hours work. The car was
thrown off by piece Of hardwood, 1t Is
said a piece of chair rocker, lying In
the depression of the outer rail at a
curve Whether the obstacle was ma

A Reply.

In reply to some accusations made
against my conduct as public officer
in the columns of The Ely Miner in
its last issue, l beg~tO present the fol-
lowing reply and let the public judge.
On the morning, of the 10Th inst,
between one and two O'Clock while l
was %patroling the streets of the city,
l have seen a person three times walk
ing the streets, and stopping several
times in various parts of the city, his
actions appeared to me that of an i'm
toxicated person, and not knowing
the man, l have accosted him and
POLITELY asked him the reason of his
being on the streets that time of
the night, whereupon the said person,
being E. e. Lindblad, giving me no
reason whatever. began to argue as to
my authority in my action. l did not
i~nconvince him in any way and his
claim that I have been under influence
of liquor is entirely false which fact
the following afidavit will corrobor-
ate. Signed.
ANTON KoBETIC.
This will certify that have been
on duty with Anton Kobetich on the
night of June 1916, and that | have
at no time noticed any intoxlcation
as .is claimed by E. e. L!ndblad.
hence I know that this accusations
entirely unfounded and untruthfull.

The song recital at the Opera House
Sunday evening by Mile. Sigrid Wes-
terlind, assisted by Mrs. j. f. Dahl,
pianist, was one OF the best ever ap-
pearing in this city. The recital was
not as we'll attended as the excellence
of the occasion demanded, but those
who attended made up in enthusiasm
what was lacking in numbers.
Miss Westerlind has a most surpris-
ing mezzo-soprano voice with a wide
range of extraordinary c%learness. Her
renditions were most enthusiastically
received. Miss Dahl at the piano is
noted as one of the best in the north
west and her numbers were a revela-
tion. A return concert will be given
here later in the season.

SPENDS ITS MONEY.
Steel Trust to Substitute Open
Hearth for Bessemer.

Minneapolis Journal: That was an
interesting and significant dispatch in
the Journal which announced the de-
cision of the Steel Trust to spend u
hundred millions in substituting the
open-hearth process for the bessemer
process now used in making steel for
rails. The substitution is to be made
gradually, SO that the dividends of
stockholders may not be cut into too
radically, but eventually all rails are
to be made from open-hearth steel.
The decision, of course, is substan-
tial admission that u very consider
able share Of the railroad accidents of
today in this country is due to defec-
tive rails. The bessemer process, as
has been frequently explained, gives
the SHOEMAKER no control over the
amount of phosphorus in his product,
while the open-hearth process permits
him to reduce it below the danger
point. The exhaustion of low phos-
phorous ores and the preponderance
of ores with too much phosphorus in
the presens output of the mines. make
brittle steelineyitable, when the bes-
semer process is used.
The promptness with which the
Steel Trust has responded to the de-
mands of the railroads. which in turn
were inspired by public opinion, shows
again that of all rur numerous brood
of trusts, that in steel is M of the
kindest and gentlest. It's heart is
pretty near the right place and its in
tentions are honorable. While it gets
high prices for its products, it means
to make them good. Can you imag-
