MAIL COLLECTION
BY STREET CARS
System Once in Effect Here
May Likely Be
Restored.

Despite the fact that the postoffice
department some five or six years ago
ordered a discOntinuance of the street
car collection OF mail" Postmaster A.
l.. Thomas, of this city, is still heartily
in favor Of the scheme, Il was tried
out with great success IN salt Lake
for about two years, prior to the res
ending order, and a change back would
be greatly appreciated, and, at the same
time, undoubtedly prove very beneficial
to residents Of the outlying districts
of the city
Some eight years ago Salt lake was
one OF the first cities in the country
to inEOvate the plan Of collecting mail
from the outlying portions of town
by means of the trolley car. The cars
were equipped with mail boxes, securely
fastened, and locked, and letters
dropped into them were taken out at
the pOstOffice, thereby insuring prompt
dispatch of the mssiVes. At the time
J. T. Bristol was fourth assistant post
master general, and he conceived the
idea that mail matter handled in this
manner was unsafe, with the result that
the order permitting the service was
rescinded, and people all over the cOuu-
try were forced TO 90 back 10 the Old
w&y.
There are many portions Of the city
where but one collection of mail is
made daily. The result is -hat II the
carrier collects, at say > o'clock, a let
ter dropped in the box ten minutes
later must remain there until the col
lection at O'Clock the following day.
When it was possible to drop letter
in a box affixed to a street car at any
hour of the day it insured the letter be-
ing dispatched from the city the same
night.
Most Of the outlying districts of the
city are reached by street cars, and It
would unQuestiOnably mean much for
the residents of these portions were
they permitted to send their mail as
i'm the past. Postmaster Thomas is
staunch advocate for the old system,
saying 1t proved the biggest kind Of "a
success. In many cities of the country
there is agitation for a restoration or
the service, and it would not b. suTpri--
ing if pressure was brought TO bear on
the poStOffice department to renew IT,.
Postmaster Thomas says that In MS
estimation letters mailed in the little
boxes affixed to the street cars were
Just as safe and secure as if they were
mailed in the regulation boxes. The
receptacIes were at all times securely
locked and during the two years the
service was enjoyed in Salt Lake there
was not single report of a letter
ever being lost in transit. II was not
infrequent. the postmaster says, to han
die between 300 and 400 letters day
by the street car system.

HOPES FOR GOOD SHOWING
Utah Militia Companies Urged to
Muster As Men,

A circular has just been issued by Ad-
jutant General +. A. WedgwoOd to all
companies of the National Guard in Utah
setting forth the strength which he hopes
viii be turned out by each infantry COM
pany of the state. General Wedgwood
hopes for a showing of at least % per
cent for the guard in the government in
spectiOn, which will be held in March
for the southern companies and in April
for the companies of the northern part of
the state. He suggests that the ideal COM
pany will consist of two platOons of four
squads, as follows: Twenty-eight pri-
Yates, four cOrpOrals four sergeRnts, one
quartermaster sergeant one first ser
geant two cooks, two musicians and three
officers, making a strength of foTty-five
men. If this cannot be done he suggests
that one cook, musician, two sergeants
and one rear-rank man in each squad be
dropped, making a total Of thiTty-seven
men and officers.

RULING Of COURT
IS IMPORTANT ONE
Judge Morse Establishes a New
Practice in Mechanics
Lien Cases.
DEMURRER is SUSTAINED
WILL RESULT IN THE ALTERING
OF MANY COMPLAINTS.

In sustaining a demurrer in the suit
OF Ben Birkinshaw against o. II. Jensen
and others. last week, Judge c. w. Morse
of the district court established a new
practice in Utah in mechanics lien cases.
1t may be that this, or other similar
action, will be taken before the supreme
court of the state for a final determine
ton OF the law. but for the present at
least, past practices will have TO be Tadi-
oally changed by attorneys in bringing
these actions in the district court.
The ruling of Judge Morse, in sustain
ing the demurrer, is that the complaint
of a sub-contractor must set out that
at the time the mechanics lien was filed
in the county recorders office there was
a sufficient amount due from the owner
to the principal contractor to cover the
amount of the lien levied by the sub
contractor. And then it is up to the sub
contractor to prove this point.
Under this pTactiCe-which has never
been followed in the paSt-an almost IN
suTmOuntable obstacle is placed in the
way of the sub-COntraCtOT II he should
happen to receive less that what he be
lieves is due him under a contract The
ruling of Judge Morse will result in the
altering of many complaints now on file
in the courts in similar suits.
Contractor Is Favored.
In this ruling, the principal contractor
IS favored, il is COntended. The prinCi-
pal contractor will, it is stated, natural
" protect the owner as much as pos
sible. And thus it would be difficult to
learn Just how much had been paid by
the owner Cor a piece of work and how
much was still due. The books of the
average contractor are in such shape that
the best bOokkeeper in the world would
find himself at sea, ii is declared, and
this would make the task no simple one.
The ruling Of Judge Morse came in one
OF the branches of the suit of the Rio
Grande Lumber company against 0. H.
Jensen, Ben Birkinshaw, the Salt Lake
Security & Trust company, H. S. Fred
erickson and others, on a mechanics
lien. Jensen is the owner OF the prop
erty and FredericksOn the principal con-
tractor. In the answer of BiTkinshaw,
a sub-cOntraCtOr. a CrOSS-COmplalnt was
filed against JeEsOn for about Sl25, and
a mechanics lien was filed for this
amount in the recorders office. This was
set up in the complaint. But the COM
plant did not set up whether there was
still Sl2S due from Jensen to Frederick
son under the contract following the GUS
tom of the past in which this had never
been set up. A demurrer was entered
20 the complaint on the ground that this
fact was not set up, and Judge Morse
sustained the demurrer, throwing the
burden upon the sub-cOntraCtOr TO estab-
fish this fact. and practically multiplying
the lien until this is proven.

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

The story Of THE Alaskan which
comes to the Salt Lake theatre tonight.
is somewhat unique in the fact that
it really possesses a plot to be fol-
lowed, and a heart story that rings
true, while the opportunities for local
color are unlimited Combining these
three, it would appear that this comic
opera well deserves the success that
has come to it, for seldom in the mu-
steal comedy of the present day can
there be found more than a single
thread upon which to hang a series Of
tunes and melodies.
