 IS HELD UP

Although the notice of accep- tance by the postoffice department of the proposal of C. w. Cox for quarters for the Conway postoffice for the next ten years was received this morning by Postmaster o. J. Owen, a telegram received from the department yesterday will pre- vent the delivery of the contract to MT. Cox at present, at least.
 The telegram simply instructed MT. Owen to withhold the con tract until further orders, and was sent in response to telegraphic protest from the Board of Trade against the location of the post office on the west side of the pub lie square, as provided for in MT. Cox's bid. Until the matter is definitely settled, nothing will be done toward the erection of a new building for the postoffice.
 Ut may be several days or even several weeks before the location of the postoffice is fix ed," said Postmaster Owen this morning. "I feel sure that the department will make a thorough investigation of the complaints against the proposed location which are said to have been filed by the Board of Trade, and that everyone will be given an opportunity to be heard on the subject. It is possible that the department will send another agent here to investigate the mat ter, but as to what steps will be taken 1 am of course unable to say"
