BIG SPRING HAS
PROMISING FUTURE
Doubles in Population in
Two Years and Keeps
Growing.

Big Spring Tex. April s.-Prospects
are exceedingly good for excellent
crops this season. The country has had
a series of good rains which were gen.
eraI.
Big Springs increase in population in
the last two years has become a sub
ject of much comment. It has more
than doubled in population since 1908
The Big Spring public school has pu-
pills from various other cities who
recognize it's educational superiority
The large brick public school building
which stands in the heart OF the town
was found to be at the close of the last
term of school, insufficient to accom-
modate the pupils and the result was
the erection Of two separate ward
schools. These two schools are filled
to their capacity. One IS located on the
extreme north side Of town and the
other on the south. Professor S. E.
to the public school, Big Spring has
attendance.
The new Baptist tabernacle has just
been completed. The Catholics are now
erecting church which will be finish
ed some time in this month.
Big Spring being the division point
for the Texas Pacific Railway company,
is a place of Importance to the railroad
people, and the officials Of the Rio
Grande division have offices here. The
company's large machine shops are also
located here, and employ a consider
able number Of workmen, and the
monthly pay roll Is large.

PUTTING BAN On
ILLICIT LETTERS
Postoffice Department Is
Combating Clandestine
Correspondence.

country wide movement has been
started by the postoffice department
- aDolshmeEt o. the general de-
livery windows at the postoffice. This
Will not affect the general delivery
service of FL Paso. according to post
master J. A. Smith, as this city is a
peculiar one because OF the large num-
Der of transients who are here for
few days and have no permanent place
to receive their mail. But the general
delivery is receiving careful super
vision at the present time to prevent it
being used for the transportation of il
licit mail matter. It has been discovered
that young girls, many of them under
Is. had been receiving mail at the gen.
eral delivery from boys and young
men. With the intention of stopping
this kind of mail orders were given to
the general delivery clerks to hold up
any mail of this character and report it
to the postmaster In this way a num-
Der of these clandestine correspond
ences have been broken up and the par
ents Of the girls notified
Closer supervision is being made Of
the lock box business at the local post
office. It was discovered that num-
Der Of boxes had been held in fictitious
names. 1t is now necessary to give ref
erences when renting lock boxes and
=
the rental of these boxes except for
business mail for the big wholesale
and retail houses. Another discovery
was made in the lock box department.
This was that the boxes were being
used for the same purpose as the old
hollow tree by the rose bush In the
corner of the fair ones yard The two
keys to the boxes were held by two
different people and messages were
placed in the boxes by one and taken
out by the other without the necessity
of affixing a postage stamp or troubling
the postoffice clerks to sort and dis
tribute them. The kibosh has also been
put on this practice.
There is no intention On the part Of
the postoffice department to discourage
the legitimate distribution of mail In
the most convenient way. but the post
offices are not to be converted into
Valentine letter boxes If 1t can be pre-
vented.
