Great Increase Shown in
Years Business of Spo-
kane Office.

You will have plenty of time to
mail your letters. get your money
orders and to purchase stamps after
tomorrow night. You will not have
to make the slick haired clerk be-
hind the miscellaneous counter In
the corner drug store look down his
nose and dig up a nickel's worth
of stamps and imagine that he had
made profit by the sale.
Beginning with tomorrow night
the doors to the postoffice will be
kept open till 9 o'clock.
1t is believed that this will have
a tendency to increase the business
of the postoffice, for, with the doors
closing at 6 O'Clock, as in the past,
many of the working people have
been unable to transact business
there at all.
The Spokane postoffice has done
flourishing business in the last
year, however. An increase Of 1874
per cent has been made over the
receipts of the business done here
last year. This figure is arrived
at, however, by figuring in the last
quarter Of the last fiscal year and

PERUVIAN WHACKS
AT CALENDAR

A Peruvian is the latest to take
whack at reforming the calendar
and his proposal Is interesting and

Carlos A. Hesse, of Iquique, one of

In a bill introduced in the legisla-
ture which is still in allegiance.
Signor Hesse advocates the plan
which was favorably recommended
by the department of Pure and APP

sip among antiquaries in Paris, Lon

dered Europe for art treasures to
make the Louvre. The Selfgmans of
Paris, the Agnews of London and
the Lamberts of Rome hold that
Morgan can and will do this. These
experts are already securing Eu-
rope for art treasures for the Amer

! There are still objects of great
price ard beauty to be secured.
Italy is rich in treasures OF art,
and there are always ways and
means OF getting them out Of one
country into another. Only a few
days ago Imbert of Rome secured
for Mr.. Morgan a book of hours Of
the Twelfth century. This manu-
script is most valuable, showing, as
it does. an exact picture of the life
