IS BROKEN
BY POSTAL CLERKS
Tons of Christmas Mail Mat
ter Handled During the
Present Week.

Never in the history Of the Salt Lake
pOstOffice have as many tons, nor as
many pieces of mail matter, been han
died as has been through Salt Lake in
the twenty-fOur hours ending at mid
night last night, and never on Christ
mas eve was the local office in as good
shape and as clear of accumulated mail
as it was at o'clock last night.
This is the record that Postmaster A.
L. Thomas and his force have made for
Christmas of 1909 and it is a record
that will compare favorably with any
pOstOffiCe in any city the size of Salt
Lake in the United States.
Thursdays mail trains were all late,
and the big lot of mail from the east
for Thursday did not arrive until early
Friday morning. This gave the doubled
force Of clerks an opportunity for clear
ing the decks completely, and when
they went home Thursday night they
left the office in normal condition.
What a change it was that greeted
them Friday mOrningl Through the
main aisle of the distributing room
packages were piled from the floor to
the chandeliers. There was absolutely
no room to walk around the immense
heaps of mail that had been dumped in
after the arrival of the mail trains from
the east. Then the real work began.
The pile was attacked from every side,
and soon the carriers appeared and the
distribution to the homes Of Salt Lake
began. By o'clock in the afternoon
the floor had been cleared and most Of
the packages had been delivered, while
the clerks We're making such inrOads
on the small STUFF that it was disposed
of before the regular quitting time.
Trains came on about the same sched-
ule yesterday, the Denver & Rio Grande
mail from the east being the only one
to arrive on time. This means that
when the clerks begin their work this
morning they will find a few more tons
of mail piled up and another big days
work before them.
Carriers will make one delivery today
to all parts Of tile city, and their loads
will be limited only by their strength.
The rest of the mail viii be distributed
from the windows at the regular hours
Sunday, or taken out by the carriers
Monday.
Helpers were provided for the car
riers yesterday morning, and they each
started out with great loads of pack
ages, leaving the regular carriers to
follow them with the letter mail.

WINTER CONDITIONS ARE
GOOD FOR UTAH'S SHEEP

''There has hardly been year of bet
ter winter conditions for sheep than the
present season so far" said A. 5. Potts,
manager of c. B. Stewards ranch in Wa
satch county, yesterday. Following re-
cent rumOrs of destruction to the herds
through the severity of the early winter,
Mr.. Potts was asked by Mr.. Stewart to
bring in a report regarding conditions as
he observed and found them. Mr.. Potts
came in yesterday, and the foregoing
statement sums up his report.
ION the western desert there is very
little snow. little more than a skimming
on the flats. OF course, in the highlands
and foothills there has been a heavier
fall, but nothing yet that would cause any
serious degree Of suffering among the
herds. There is just plenty of snow, and
the winter ranges could not be in better
condition The snow in the hills prom
sises good for next year. and there ism
enough in the valleys and flats to do any
harm. I haven't heard of any serious
losses among the herds, and the sheep
men 1 have met and talked with seem to
be thoroughly we'll satisfied with the
present conditions and prospects"

Runaway Car Dashes Into Passenge
Engine on Tintic Incline,

Passengers and trainmen on the north
bound Tintic train on the Salt Lake
Route experienced a genuine scare Thurs
day night, when a runaway car broke
loose on the Tintic incline and dashed
into the passenger train. The collision
was head-On, and the passenger engine
was badly damaged, while the ore car
was reduced TO splinters and scrap iron.
The trainmen jumped and, although Sc
verely shaken, none of the passengers
were injured.

CHECKS ARE REFUSED.
Corporations Must Pay Penalty
Money as We'll a Taxes.

Because Secretary of States Charles s.
Tingey has refused to accept checks from
corporations to cover the annual tax
without the penalty money included, he
has called forth the wrath of a number
of corporations. Nearly $1,000 had been
received after the tax became delinquent
on December Is. but all of the checks
were returned, with the instructions to
add the SO penalty before they would
be accepted. This was done upon rul-
ing Of Attorney General A. r. Barnes,
who told Secretary Tingey that he would
be liable for the penalty of so if he did
not make the corporations pay it. Be
cause of this, the secretary of state has
refused to accept checks for payments
unless the penaltY is included.

before. The kitchen was fitted up at one

WOMAN.
A Mystery That Keeps Man EternaIly
on the Guess.

A Mystery That Keeps Man EternaIly
on the Guess.
when woman has ceased to be a
mystery she win cease to be of special
interest TO man." said one among the
loveliest of her sex. and she is able to
speak as one having authority, for she
is comely and has been alive long
enough 70 know whereof she speaks.
And, come to think of it, she is
about right-she is right.
1t isn't because woman makes of
herself a mystery. She's a mystery in
spite Of herself And nature alone,
being mans superior on earth, seems
to be playing woman so as to keep
man ever guessing. for as soon as he
has succeeded in figuring out one Of
her equations she hands him another
and so on, and on.
At first the young man thinks he
knows all about all women, but by the
time his locks begin to whiten he is
ready to concede that he doesn't even
know all about one. Or do you know
all about her?
To the laddie they are all kissable,
or nearly all, but as time passes the
kissable list shOrtens and shortens un-
til at last-wel, you may answer for
yourself, but no doubt it is quite short
unless you belong to the promiscuous
brotherhood. - Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

THE BANlSTERS.

York's TenCments.


Many Il grewsOme bit of wisdom is
CLEANED by settlement workers. The
other day woman of philanthropic
tendencies trudged miles looking for
rooms for an unfortunate family that
had to move. After she had made a
selection that would fit their scant
means the mother of the family went
around to see the rooms before NOV
ing in.
oh" exclaimed that wise tenement
dweller, wed be worse off here than
where we are. This place is too un-
healthy"
How do you make that out| asked
the settlement worker 1T strikes me
as being better than most houses Of
it's class"
The woman pointed to the banisters,
which ran up through the five flights
Of stairs to the roof in a ragged, bro
ken line. "Co6ins," she said grimly.
That's what that means. Collins is
terrible hard on banisters. There are
too many deaths here to suit me-"
And when the settlement worker
learned that many tenement dwellers
really do judge Of the healthfulness of
a house by the condition of the banis-
ters she concluded that that place
wouldn't suit her either.-New York
