The DanlOne Lots Selected for The

The Department at Washington has
selected the lots OF B. Dantone, on tho
south east corner Of Howard and Church
streets, for the new Government post
Office building to be erected in Green
wood, and we understand that the d ed

adjacent property owners paying the
additional 100000 The lots are CEN
traiiy and well located for the postofIice

well pleased with the site selected. 1t

found that the safe In which were kept

The latter decided. after an investiga.

Train Service to Suburb Is Started Yesterday With
 Good Showing

For the purpose of comforting with Agent R. s. Stubbs regarding better passenger service over the Miami line, Superintendent c. c. Mallard will leave for Tucson this morning.
 If MT. Mallard $ ideas are carried out. two important additions will be made in the Miami district.
 MT. Mallard plans to install special service between Globe and Miami on pay days, in order to give the people of the Miami district a chance to visit Globe and trade with the local business men, if they so desire.
 In addition, he will secure, if possible, combination coach, baggage car and express ear for use on the new lire
 He will take these matters up WY Mir. Stubbs tomorrow and, if possible, install new features at once.
 "I believe the installation of special service between Globe and Miami at the time of the monthly pay day will be good thing for both Miami and Globe,'' said Superintendent Mallard yesterday, "and it is probable that this plan will be adopted. l have wired MT. Stubbs regarding the plan and have not received a reply as yet l belive, however, that he will consent to the arrangement.
 By the installation of special train service on pay days, the people of Miami will be giyena chance to trade in Globe, n feature which will be for their own benefit and that of the Globe merchants as well.
 eff possible, I will secure combin- ation passenger. baggage and express car, to be used on the Miami train. A ear of this class would be ample for the accommodation of the traffic for some time. I will take this matter up with Mir. Stubbs tomorrow"
 Mir. Mallard will return to Globe Sat urday evening, according to his present plans.
 Passenger service over the Miami line was initiated yesterday, with good re suits. Eleven passengers made the trip to and from Miami and the indications favor constant increase in traffic.
