THE NEW P0ST0FFICE
SplendldIy Equipped With Latest and
rlost Convenient Take of Mail
Cases and Furniture.
Office Will Be Open Next Monday
Preparations Are Now Being
rlade for the Transfer.

The postofice will be moved into
its new quarters in the Newbert build
ing on Saturday and Postmaster
Briggs will be ready to conduct busi-
ness there on Monday next. Special
pains have been taken to arrange the
new Office in the most modern way and
the fixtures are the very best that
could be procured. All in all the new
postoffice is the best equipped of any
in a town the size of Princeton in the
northwest.
The Office is practically fireproof,
the ceiling and walls being covered
with metal, and the furniture is of the
fnest-quarter-sawed oak of the
mission style. The letter case is con-
veniently arranged and contains in
all $50 boxes, $50 of which are sup
piled with combination locks while
100 are call boxes. Above the case is
barred metal screen for protective
purposes-this screen reaches to the
ceiling. There are six windows-for
stamps, money orders, savings bank,
registered mail, etc., and the lobby,
which is spacious, is supplied with
two desks for the use of patrons.
The interior is arranged so that work
may be facilitated-it is fitted up with
desks, mail cases, and everything
which is necessary for the transaction
OF big volume of business. Each
rural carrier has neat desk and a
distribution case-this department is
separated from the other part of the
office by metal wicket work with a
sliding door. The Office is equipped
with q large burglar-proof safe,
furnace heat, electric lights, clothes
closets and lavatories. The
decorations of the Office are neat and
harmonious, and everything is spic
and span.
1t is the intention to keep the lobby
OF the Office open until IL O'Clock at
night and on Sunday, but this will
depend upon circumstances and the
arrangement may be changed. Upon
no consideration will loafng be
permitted in the lobby-the marshal
will keep good lookout and arrest
such persons as infringe this order.

AT THE CHURCHES.

Yulet1de EXERCISES Held In the Various
Religious Edifices of Princeton.
Christmas services, largely of a
choral nature, we're held at the Metho-
dist and Congregational churches on
Sunday morning and the programs
were especially be6tting and attrac-
tive. Revs. Service and Fisher
preached the Christmas sermons at
the respective edifces. The musical
programs for the Methodist church
were arranged by Mrs. c. A. Galley
and for the Congregational church by
Ms. q. G. Cooney.
On Christmas eve there was a
service of song at the Methodist
church with sermon, II Have Put
Off My Coat, How Shall I Put It
On?" by the pastor, and on Christmas
night the cantata, "a Visit to Santa
Claus" was presented, which was fol-
lowed by distribution of gifts to the
Sunday school Children. This was a
very enjoyable event, especially for
unC yOuuS pCOplC.
At the Congregational church the
customary children's entertainment
and Christmas tree we're given on
Sunday night. The children, trained
by Miss Huse and other teachers of
the Whittier school in their parts,
gave very pretty yuletide program
which was worthy of much praise.
The services at St. Edward's Catho-
lie church on Christmas morning we're
very impressive and the special
musical numbers of a high order, the
solo parts being especially we'll
rendered. Rev. Father Levings con-
Quoted the services.
At the German Lutheran church a
pretty entertainment was given by the
Sabbath school children on Sunday
evening and there was also a Christ
mas tree. Rev. Eugene Ahl, the
pastor, conducted services on Christ
mas morning and preached an able
sermon. There were also services on
Tuesday morning.
Christmas was duly observed in the
German Lutheran church, town of
Princeton. A Christmas tree and
entertainment we're given on Sunday
evening and on the following morning

Christmas services and preached an
appropriate sermon. Services were
also held on Tuesday morning.
The German Methodist church held
it's usual festival on Christmas eve
and the Sunday school children pre-
sented an entertainment of songs.
readings, etc. On Christmas morning
Rev. Wolf conducted the yuletide re-
ligious services.
There was no service in the Emanuel
Swedish Lutheran church on Christ

exercises were presented on Tuesday
evening and Santa Claus distributed

Trunk Lines Not Favored In Anoka County.
At a special election in the town of
Blaine, Anoka county, on the 18th
inst, the proposition of bonding the
town to the extent of five per
cent of it's valuation, to aid in the
construction of the PEBBLES road
through the township, was defeated by
a vote of So to l. The result, we take
it, does not indicate that the people of
Blaine are opposed to road-improve-
ment but they did not favor the
special proposition submitted to them
to aid in the construction of the
proposed state rural highway from
International Falls to St. Paul.
Primarily, what the people want is
good passable roads from their farms
to their nearest market towns. Long,
continuous stretches OF state rural
highways will follow. But farmers
will not tax themselves to build roads
that will benefit them only remotely
if at all.

Too Many Pettifoeers Already

The manufacture of lawyers by
lamp light, while you wait, at the
state university may cease when the
new dean, VIM. r. Vance, takes
charge. He argues that inasmuch as
every community has twice as many
lawyers as it needs, and not half of
them able to earn a decent living,
there is no occasion for running the
factory at the university with extra
night shifts, as has been done here
tofore.- Mr.. Vance's logic seems to
be OF the right Kindred Wing Free

Trade Follows Good Roads

The following article from the Cam.
bridge Independent-Press pleases the
U O immensely-a healthy, good
natured rivalry to secure better roads
and more trade is what is needed.
The town that has good roads leading
into it is the town that is deserving of
and should receive the farmers trade.
We sincerely hope our Cambridge
friends will bestir themselves until
they get good highway west to the
Mile Laos county line.
"Many farmers who live equi-
distant between Princeton and Cam
bridge and who would for various
reasons rather haul their products
here than to our sister village, and
this without any disparagement of our
neighbor, haul there rather than here
for the reason that better roads pre-
vail to that village. Especially is
this true of the roads leading east
ward from Princeton. This fact
demonstrates that with the advent of
the year 1912 the people of Cambridge
and of Isanti county must get together
and plan judiciously for better and
more durable highways. The same is
true of Isanti, Grandy, Braham
and Stanch6eld, and we would urge
that early in the year we have a
grand rally of enthusiastic farmers
and business men to talk the situation
over. Every member of the board of
county commissioners and of the vari-
Gus boards of supervisors should be
invited to attend. We must do some
thing to hold our own and in all de-
cency we should get together"

HAVE ASSURANCE OF
 LOW DENVER RATES WATERMELON GROWERS ASSO- CATION WILL SEND SALES MEN TO MARKET
 CENTERS
Valley Crop in Good Condition, and Profitable Year Foreseen

The directors of the Watermelon Growers Association of the Salt River Valley met yesterday afternoon in the lobby of the Commercial hotel to discuss important matters of busi- ness connected with the disposal of this years melon crop. At a pre- vious meeting held about two weeks ago in the same room it had been decided by the association in full session to relegate the question of securing the services of a salesman or statesmen to work up the markets of the distributing centers, to the board of directors, and the question was raised and settled yesterday
 There had been a heated discussion among the members as to the advis- ability of sending out a man before the shipping season began, a num- Der doubting the advantages to be derived from such action, and others insisting that it would be unwise to wait until the melons were on land and ready for shipment before find ing market owing to the perish able nature Of the product. With all the directors present it was de- cided yesterday to hire statesmen who will be sent in a short time to inter est the large wholesale dealers of the available markets in the products of the association.
 Inquiries have been received from Denver. California and other in termediate points concerning the possible amount of produce to be shipped by the farmers dur ing the shipping season, which will commence about the 20th of June, lasting well into the middle of Au- gust Although no estimate has been given out as to the number of cars which the association expects to send out of the Valley during the season, E. Osmundson, the sec retary. stated yesterday that there had never been better indications for a full and profitable crop than there is for this year Four hundred acres have been planted in melons by the valley farmers. and the fields are uniform in the excellence of the showing. Crop conditions are fine,
Arizona republican., 1911-04-20

in every respect, and it is expected, through the result of efficient sales manship in working up interest among the produce dealers of the cities, that all the melons will be disposed of at a good price.
 There has been considerable feel ing among the melon growers up to this time concerning the railroad rates between Phoenix and Denver, and between Texas and Denver the Texas growers having enjoyed a rate of 5 60 per hundred for their produce, and the valley farmers called upon to pay $.90 for shipping the same goods, which made the Denver mar kets practically inaccessible for the farmers of this region. Application was made some time ago to the of- ficials of the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific asking for a reduc ton in the rates from Phoenix, to enable the growers of Phoenix and vicinity to compete in the Denver markets with the farmers of Texas At the last meeting no word had been received as to the attitude with which the two roads had received the petition but it was learned yesterday that there is a strong likelihood of there being a substantial reduction in rates. and this will enable the association to go ahead feeling prac tically certain of finding a good mar ket for all their produce.
 The directors of the association have decided to close the books for membership at the first of May, to open them again on or about the first of December. and the secretary advises all who desire to join the association to get a move on" and come in before the first of the month.
 Following up the wish of the farm CTS of the vicinity to see city market established in Phoenix from which all the produce of the valley may be distributed to the consumer. a committee, consisting of R. Os- mundson, A R. Taylor and pr. Bond, was appointed to wait upon the city council, and present the need for such a market. The committee will request the council to cooperate with them in securing a location for the proposed market. and will seek all possible assistance to accomplish their purpose. The association has recently become a member of the Maricopa County Commercial Club, and will participate hereafter in all its de- Alterations.
