POSTOFfICE REPORT
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK TELLS
OF YEARS WORK.
Aggregate Of $1ss, ooo, 600 in Revenue
Collected From Postofficss During
Year 1907--He Recommends Thirty
Day Vacation Instead Of Fifteen and
More Towns for Free Delivery.

The annual report of First Assistant
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch.
cock has been made public. The reve-
nues collected through the postof6ces
during the fiscal year 1906 amounted
to about $16S,000,000. gain of more
than 5000, 900, and the report states
that this growth was continued In
1907, when the aggregate was $183,
100000. In order to meet this contin
uous growth of his bureau Mr.. Hitch
cock makes an appeal for larger ap
preparations.
"The present policy Of reappointing
presidential postmasters who have
conducted their Offices to the satisfac
ton of the public and of the depart
ment has resulted in decided benefit
to the service" says Mr.. Hitchcock
He adds that about IS per cent of the
presidential postmasters have been re
appointed.
Increases for various classes of EN-
plOyOos VI IAO uCpcIl C1uCAt dIC lCCO1A
mended. In order to relieve the third
class postmasters of the necessity OF
paying for assistants out of their sal
aries recommendation is made fol
an increase to 100000 for that pur
pose.
Thirty instead of Is days annual
leave is recommended for postal EN-
ployes. An extension of the city de
livery service to smaller towns than
are included under the present law is
urged. Under the amendment to the
law he suggests, free delivery would
be given to over 400 towns that dc
not now enjoy that advantage.
The total number of postmasters Of
all classes appointed during the year
was 1885, as against 1855 for 1905

VICTIMS OF GAME.

Without question. football is the
most strenuous of all sports, and so
long as the game is played accidents
are bound to result. So far this fall,
with the season little more than half
over. nine deaths. 30 injuries, involv-
ing broken bones and seven miscel-
1 lanoous Injuries, are recorded on the
list of gridiron accidents. 1t is a
noticeable fact too, that in nearly
every instance the fatality or injury
can be traced directly to the under
trained condition OF the unfortunate
player.
In the complete list of the fatal
accid dents not one is scheduled of
players On any one of the big elevens
of the East. That this is due to the
superior training facilities of these
teams with their squads of doctors
and athletic directors there is little
doubt and the care that has been
evidenced in this state in this regard
is unquestionably largely responsible
tor the few and minor accidents that
have occurred on Colorado gridirons.
The list of deaths follows:
