EXT to the indulgent fathers end
~ husbands whose pocketbooks
have taken on concave aspect
because Of the days leading up to
Christmas, the happiest men in the
world are the employees Of the post
Offices now that Christmas day is past.
Like the fathers and husbands, the
postal employees have cheerfully suf-
fered from the same source-Christmas
presents.
A conservative estimate OF the in
crease IN mail this Christmas week over
Christmas week year go is placed at
90 per cent
The greatest increase in mail mat
ter was in postal cards. The habit
of sending cards of greetings has been
steadily growing for the last four
years but Christmas week Of 1910 is
the banner year for the little paste
boards In San Francisco there were
from 20 to 25 Christmas cards mailed
for each letter. From outside sources
it is estimated y to Is postals ar
rived for each letter AS the postals
mailed in this city must be faced"
and Cancelled the same as letters the
receiving clerks and assistants were
taxed to keep the carriers supplied with
work.
You'll Get 1t Tonight
At the postofhce last night it was
stated every piece of Christmas mail
for san Franciscans viii be delivered
by tonight Congestion at the poetof-
fee caused only second class mail mat
ter, such as letters, packages contain
ing presents and postal cards, was
given preference. For Christmas week
first class matter was assorted and de-
livered the day Of receipt. Work on
second class matter followed, with the
result that it will be delivered less
than two days following Christmas.
In order to handle the Christmas
week mail efhciently Superintendent Of
Delivery R. ". Madden employed more
than 200 extra men. OF this number

company is, according to the state
ment of officials, spending a vast

Not in the history of the company
at least not since the advent of the
construction of the road, have so
many skilled mechanics been en-
ployed by the company. APP
proximately $500 men are working
on the improvements. The company
before it completes all the contem-
plated work, will spend approximate
ly $5,00O,0O0.
Last year, by reason of contin-

quent interruption of traffic, the
Great Northern lost a vast sum of
money, to say nothing of the actual
damage done by slides.
while it is costing great sum
of money" said company official,
the company is apparently going to
complete improvements which will
absolutely protect it under the most
adverse weather conditions. All the
bad places will be fully protected
against slides and unless some extra
ordinary condition arises, the COM
pany will experience no repetition of
the trouble it had year ago.
