Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment Of
wOmen in the postal service a new
idea. AS early As l5fS a m post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine le Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal Office in the postal serv-
ice OF Europe was held by a woman.
A~leXandrine de Rue. From 1928 to
l6i6 she was in charge of the mails
OF the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
vas the first to hold q place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post
office In Salem, Mass.

MITCHELL
SPOKANE MINING OPERATOR
ONCE RATED AS MILLION
ARE is CITED ON FRAUD
ORDER COMPLAINT.

c. E. Mitchell, former mining
editor on the Spokesman-Review,
and later mining promoter whose
operations rivalled those Of Young
Willoughby, a character of fiction,
has run counter to the rules OF
Uncle Sam in the operation of the
mails and has been called upon to
show cause why a fraud order
should not be issued against him.
Mitchell, once reckoned a mil.
lionaire many times over, is now
down financially and says he is
not guilty of violating the postal
laws. He will leave Friday for
Washington, ID. c., to present his
case to the attorney general Feb
ruary II. If the postal department
should find that Mitchell has de
frauded people in the past. and it
is said the government has gone
into his record for years back.
criminal prosecution will likely be
instituted.
Mitchell's trouble with the gov
eminent is due to a falling out
between Mitchell and one of his
eastern agents, whom Mitchell
forced to pay debt due the
Mitchell company for stock sold.
This agent tipped off the opera
tons of Mitchell to the postoffice
ispectors, giving them a lot of his
advertising matter, and the show
cause why fraud order should
not be issued followed.
At one time in the height of
Mitchell's career he kept five girls
busy at his elaborate quarters in
the Columbia building writing GER
tificates of mining stock in re-

desk in those days looked like a

ing the Fidelity National bank to
be hit hard. At the acme of his
glory Mitchell had 10 mining prop

The chief complaint of the gov

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9.-Robbed
of her sweetheart on the eve of her
marriage, pretty Viola OFT of Den
yer, insists, despite the protesta-
tons of her relatives and friends,
that she will remain ever true to
her maniac lover, Fred Mcfarland,
and the heart of all Los Angeles
goes out to her.
1t was two years ago that Nc
Farland met Miss OFT in Denver.
1t was love at first sight. For over
year they were sweethearts.
Then Mcfarland obtained lucra-
tive position in Los Angeles, and
on the eve of his departure he told
his promised bride that it would be
only a few months before the we'd
ding bells would ring.
He was true to his word. Two
weeks ago there was joyful meet
ing at Los Angeles. The date for
the wedding was set.
The first inkling of impending
tragedy came to Miss OFT on the
eve of her wedding when McFar
land failed to keep an engagement
with her. She was seized by an
unreasoning fear for her lovers
safety. After hours of vain
search, an officer at police head
quarters told her, gently as he
could, that man under restraint
in the insane ward at the receiving
hospital was calling her name in a
piteous manner. She refused to
believe.
She fastened to the hospital.
There she found him. Her sweet
heart was a maniac. He failed to
recognize her when she ap-
preached his cot, and tore madly
at the thongs that bound him.
And SO. the next day. the wed
ding bells did not ring. Instead,
young man, with the CLEAN OF
the maniac in his eyes, and a beau
tiful girl, pale, but dry eyed and
firm Tipped, appeared before the
lunacy commission. The young
man was sent to the state hospital
for the insane.

Bitter Roots Penetrated and

With whistles blowing and other

Pass, Bitter Root mountains, met
in the center Of the bore at 10 this
morning. With the completion of
this, the entire line of the St.

miles of rails remains to be laid to
connect Chicago with Seattle. An
elaborate banquet was given the
workmen by the officials at Taft,

The first ground for the tunnel
at st. Paul Pass was broken No

feet long, was hewn out of solid
rock. Later all trains will be oper-
ated through the tunnel by cleo

PILES
Up COST
COMPLAINT MADE THAT POL
ICY OF LABOR ExTRAVA-
CANOE is BEING FOLLOWED
ON MISSION AVENUE BRIDGE

Complaint is being made of the
unnecessary extravaganza in the
matter of overtime on the Mission
street bridge work. The men draw
time and half for all over eight
hours, and some Of them have put
in 20 hours at a stretch, according
to reports made to Thomas Ma
loney. Them engineers employed
draw double time.
All this piles up the day labor
cost, where, by putting on three
eight hour shifts in cases of emer-
gency, more men would be given
employment and more work Sc
cured for proportionately less ex-
penditure Of city money. There
is said to be enough cement work
ers idle now to make overtime en-
tirely ineXcusable. The men them
selves object to the overtime strain
in their unions, but still are not
averse to making needed extra
money when the overtime policy is
pursued by the management.
