CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION.
for Position OF Clerk and
City Carrier Are Wanted.

The civil service commission has
ordered another clerk-carrier exami-
nation to be held Saturday, July s,
to complete the eligible list of the
Dawson postoffice.
From the eligible list created
by this examination a substitute city
carrier will be appointed The sub
stitute carrier will be promoted to
a carriers place when the first va
cancy occurs, and all future appoint
ments of clerks of the Dawson office
will be made from the list
There is little doubt that it will be
necessary in the very near future to
put the third carrier on in order to
properly serve the city, and it is
probable that it will be necessary to
appoint an additional clerk soon, and
it is the wish of the postmaster that
a number of desirable young men
take this examination that they may
be in line to secure these appoint
ments.
A clerk or carrier is appointed at
a yearly salary of $500 After the
first year this salary is increased to
$500; after the second year to 5000;
after the third year to $1,000; after
the fourth year to $1,100, and after
the fifth year to $1,000. The young
man entering the postal service has
the prospect of a permanent position
with the certainty of advancement
for faithful and efficient service.
The examination to be held July 8
will be conducted by Clerk R. A. Jol-
ley of the Dawson office, who has
been appointed local secretary of the
civil service commission.
