We have one book, mailed without
an address upon it, which we hope
the sender may come and claim. She
called once, but the clerks could not
find it. 1t may now be had on proof
of property. We also have one small
green box with doll outfit in it, and
it also has the address card of Mrs.
John Cronin among the contents. 1t
has no address or covering to the
box. The owner may have it by
proving property.
The county clerk and treasurer
cleaned out our stock of postal cards
Wednesday by purchasing $500 at
one clip. We shall have new stock
within a few days.
Patrons of the Office will please
bear in mind that the recent change
in the time of the arrival of trains
Nos. and 1903, going west. will re-
quire an earlier deposit of mail mat
ter for these trains. All matter for
these trains must be in the office be-
fore IL am. 1t must also be under
stood that carriers do not make col
lections for this train from the street
boxes, except the Main street boxes
inside the business district. Import
ant mail matter tpr this dispatch
should be broush, to the office.
/ We warn the public against the
sending of money to the firm adver-
Using as the Colorado Sales Company.
1t is evidently a shady concern, il
not fraud OF the worst kind. Sew
| eral people have called at the post
| Office for information concerning the
company; but. as they get their mail
| in the general delivery, there is no
way of finding them.
People continue to use the tinsei
and mica post cards and no doubt
wonder why they never reach their
destination. They do another fool
| ish thing: they put l. or 2-cent
postage stamp on the card and then
put the card in an onion skin or
| transparent envelope. This prevents
| the cancellation OF the. stamp, and
the card must lay over in the post
/ office until the addressee is notified to
send a stamp for it. The stamp
must be placed on the envelope and
not ON the card. The address should
also be on the envelope.
The petitioners for a change on ru
raj routes Nos. l and cannot now
be accommodated, for the reason that
| the carriers already have as much
as they can take care or. If the coun-
try keeps on growing as it has been
, for the past year or more, it will be
necessary to add three or more new
rural routes to cover the new terri
tory which is and will be settled up
and put under cultivation,
The business of the Office is crowd
ing the capacity of our office building
again. 1t is to be hoped that the ap-
preparation for the new federal build
ing will not be too long delayed.
The postmaster will endeavor TO
make arrangements for the instruc-
tion of the children in our public
schools concerning the rules and reg
ulations of the postal system at an
early date. This is in compliance
with orders from the postmaster gem
eral. There is very much that should
be known by the public in general
concerning this important depart
ment of the government, and il has
been thought best to start this cam
paign of education with the school
children
Many packages We're received in
bad condition again this Christmas,
simply because they were poorly
packed. 1t required the best of care
to keep the contents from being lost
out altogether and becoming separ-
