Bt OPENED TO PUBLIC.
AmeriCuS New POStOffiCe
Completed.
Perfect in Every Detail
Uncle Sans Building
to Be Opened.

Americus will, this week, enter in-o
possession of its handsome govern
ment building designed as postoffice
and the general offices of other
branches Of the government maintain
ed in this locality The finishing
touches have been added, and the
handsome building Is now completed.
1t is not known upon what day the
removal from the present postoffice
will be made, although it is quite GER
tain that it will be within a few
days.
Mr.. George Becking the contractor
and builder, has completed his task
and in no other city of like size in
Uncle Sans broad domain is there
more handsome or more perfectly
arranged postoffice building.
When the massive doors are finally
opened to the public it will be a priv
ilege for all to enter and inspect the
new postoffice, for any description of
1t, however minute as to detail, will
not adequately describe the beauty
OF the interior and the convenience
of arrangement there.
Upon the first floor, at the main en-
trance, is the long tiers :of letter
boxes, over 900 in number. In the CEN
ter is the general delivery windows.
while to the right are the windows of
the several letter carriers.
Occupying spacious and elegantly
arranged quarters at the left is the
money order department where Assist
ant Postmaster H. C. Mitchell and
Money Order Clerk Glover will pre-
side. The private office of Postmas-
ter F. P. Mitchell opens from the
right, into the main mailing room.
In this great apartment, occupyipg
the main center of the building, Clerks
A. B. Howard, S. A. Sullivan and D.
w. Robinson, with other assistants
Will handle the mails
Well arranged quarters are provid-
ed for the city letter carriers and the
r. F ID. forces as we'll.
Upon the second floor is a large
and handsome apartment correspond
ing in size to the mailing room be-
low, and about sixty by seventy feet
IN dimension. Upon this floor, too
are the quarters of the internal rev.
enue collector and those of the civil
service department
The wainscoting upon both floors IS
of purest white marble, producing &,
beautiful effect. Every comfort and
convenience for men and women is
provided In the basement are shower
baths for the employees.
The bath rooms and toilets are en-
cased in marble similar to that used
upon the floors above.
One strange feature that will strike
the visitor is the private passages for
the district inspector and used by him
to look, unobserved. upon the en-
ployes These secret passages ramify
the building, and from this point of
vantage, unseen, he can look down
into any of the departments
No one can know whence he comes
or when he goes.
This handsome building and grounds
cost the government $4,000, of which
amount $4,000 was paid for the
grounds. No part OF the furniture or
equipment now used in the old office
will be carried to the new building.
All the furniture there is new and CT
handsome polished oak
Only the stamps and money will be
carried "up town" when the postofH e
is moved this week.

FRUIT ON ALL DAKOTA FARMS
Strawberries Are Easiest to Grow,
and They Also Bring Most Profit

(By w. c.. PALMER, Agricultural Edi-

Considerable fruit is being grown
in North Dakota, but some should be
grown on every farm. Fine quality
characterizes the North Dakota prod
uct.
Strawberries are the easiest to
grow, and they also bring returns the
quickest. Now is the time you would
be picking some nice berries II you
had set out plants last year. So now
is good time to make up your mind
to grow strawberries.
The Senator Dunlap IL the best all
round strawberry to grow. Plant on
ground that has been cleaned from
weeds by summer fallow or by corn or
potatoes. Plant in rows, say five feet
apart and foot apart in row. This
will make it easy to cultivate and al.
so convenient for mulching. Spring
will prove the best time for setting
out plants. Cultivate to keep clean
from weeds first summer, and pluck
of blossoms. This makes stronger
plants for next year. In fall after
ground freezes cover with straw three
to four inches deep. In spring the
straw will keep the ground cool and
the Strawberries can be kept back by
leaving straw on for awhile and with
out hurting the growth. When straw
Is removed, rake it between rows, but
leave almost an inch over rows as the
plants will come up through this. It
will keep the berries clean and 1t will
be nice picking them. In case Of a
late frost it will not take long to rake
It over the berries In the evenings,
and 1t will not hurt II they are left
covered for couple Of days
When the berries have been picked
the straw should be removed or
burned, the vines cut OF and raked
OF. This will remove any diseases
that might have collected in the
straw or old leaves. After the ground
freezes, cover as before. The bed
ought to raise two good crops. Now
10 the time to get piece Of ground
ready for strawberries. !. ss.
Those who have tried growing
Strawberries IN the state have been
surprised at the ease with which Il
& can IS done. The soil and climate
are veGy favorable for strawberries. 81
