local postoffice is resting and heaVing
deep signs of relief after one of the
most strenuous weeks in the history of

take pride in the way that they handle
the large summer business of the es-
tablishment and are always ready to
do Just little more in the interests of
a prompt and efficient mail service.
The trouble is cats, just cats. One
morning early in the week the assis-
tants arrived at the postoffice and
viewing one another with disguised
looks made audible remarks about eat
ing onions when there was any one else
in town besides themselves. The early
morning shoppers came for their mail
and went away with panied expressions
on their faces.

TIME DEEMED INoPPoRTUNE
TO EXCLUDE THE SALOONS

SAN BERNARDINO, June ia
meeting of the residents of the city
known to oppose the saloons was held
here last evening.
w. E. Leonard presided, and al
though those who attended are not
willing to disclose the exact results
of the conference or what was done
it is known the decision was reached
that the time was not propitious for
the move to exclude the saloons.
The meeting was not called by either
the newly organized Municipal league,
although a number of the members of
that organization were present, or the
Anti Saloon league. Rev. d. M. Gam
der, representing the latter organiza-
ton, however, was in this city to at
tend the meeting.
1t is understood the meeting was
held for the sole purpose of consider
ing an initiative ordinance, and al
though the decision was reached that
the time was not suspicious, informa-
ton which has been obtained indicates
the movement will by no means be
dropped. but that at some later date
the question will be brought up and
the voters of the city given an oppor-
tunity to close the saloons.
