MAIL TELLS THE
BIG TRADE STORY
Carriers Are Required to Car
ry an Unusually Heavy
Amount Now.
ANOTHER CARRIER NEEDED.
ONCE MORE TRY TO GET FOOT
MAN FOR RESIDENTS WEST OF
THE RIVER

Postmaster Spekenhier reports that
with the opening up of the spring
trade, the mail is exceedingly heavy.
Commercial houses after a winter of
inactivity are literally flooding the
mails with circulars for the prospec-
tive purchaser. During the last week
many of the rural route carriers have
been unable to cover their circuits in
the eight hours allowed. When they
cannot do this they must return with
the leftover mail in their wagons
1t is fact, not generally known, that
a carrier must not be absent from the
office longer than eight hours. The
carriers have a union and some years
ago they sued the government and
got millions OF dollars pay for work
ing overtime. Now our Uncle Samuel
who pays the bills. sees to it that they
put in no more time than the eight
hours allowed.
Poor Service.
Another thing that is causing Mr..
Spekenhier worry is the West Rich
mond mail service. Complaints of the
poor service come to him often. To
all of these he listens politely and
then tells them that when he gets
another man on his force he will bet
ter the service. For two years he has
been making an effort to have a foot
man allotted TO the West side in addi-
ton 70 the two mounted carriers But
so far his petitions have been denied.
He will try again during the coming
summer and thinks that the extra man
will be granted.
Another thing that will help the ser.
vice, though it too is in the distant
future, is the building Of the White
water bridge to the south Of the city.
AS 1t is the carriers have to retrace a
good portion of their routes in order
TO cross the river on the Main stree
bridge.

AUTHOR OF CORTEZ LETTERS
LOCAL TEMPORARY RESIDENT

Frank McNutt, traveller. scholar,
diplomat and former member of the
Popes household, is in the city and
will remain here for the next three
months. Richmond is the former
home of Mr.. McNutt and. as he says,
the first place in my affections"
Within the last year Mr.. McNutt
has gained considerable prominence
as a historian. The Putnam Publish
ing company, one of the largest con-
Germs of its kind in the country, is
now preparing to issue Mr., McNutt's
two latest works and he will remain
here until about the first of Novem-
Der reading proof on them.
Last spring Mr.. McNutt issued a
series of letters written by Cortez, the
conqueror of Peru and Mexico This
work attracted the attention of schol-
airs in Europe and America and as a
result the Putnam company engaged
Mr.. McNutt to write life of the great
Spanish discoverer He has also writ
ten a life of Las Casas. which will be
published by the Putnams about the
same time that his Life of Cortez"
is issued This Life of Cortez" is to
be included in Putnam's Heroes of
the Nations" series.
Mr.. McNutt has been in America
since last June. He spent the greater
part of the summer in New York city
and at Mudlava, n. Y.
Mr.. McNutt is exceedingly gratified

over the reception given his transla-
lions of letters of Cortez. Critics of
the Edinburg. Scotland press were the
first TO praise this work. Since then
all the leading publications of London
and New York have given 1t splendid
criticism. The letters of Cortez pub
lished by Mr.. McNutt were produced
after exhaustive research in Madrid.

elsewhere on the European continent
His life of Las Casas will be a val
liable addition to early American his
tory. II will treat of the introduction
of slavery into North America and of
the long fight waged against this prac-
tice by Las Casas who. as Mr.. Nc
Mutt puts 1t, was the first American
abolitionist."
