TEMPE
KEEPING \ TAB
 Oh R. r. ). MAIL
Counting and Classifying All Matter on
 Their Routes.

Commencing yesterday morning the rural letter carriers serving the farm CTS in the country surrounding Tempe will for the next two months, count, weigh and classify all outgoing and in- coming mail that passes through their hands This same event was gone through with a year ago last May but at that time the work was also done by the postmaster In that way count of the entire business being ac complished in the local post office was kept track of. This year though to satisfy special demands in the govern ment post office service in regard to the rural route business only the car riers have been forced to Keep the aforementioned account.
 The matter of classifying is probably that the carriers will have to contend with Five cIassificatiOns are called for so that unless one is unusually fla miliar with that matter it is rather a hard task to perform. Weighing and counting though is comparatively easy. It will be necessary however to treat each classification separate as far as the weighing and counting goes.
 Considering this extra duty of the rural carriers they are likely to be a little late getting out of the office for few days, but as soon as they be- come familiar with the work it is thought that the past schedule will be maintained.

Returning of Resident From His
 Former Home.


 Former Home.
 J. Russell Halsted manager of the Chandler Lumber company got the glad hand from every live wire in Chandler Monday when he blew into Bob Plenty's dining room for break fast, Just arrived from a trip back to the show me- state where he went on business and to accompany his charming wife back to the per feet fall climate of Arizona. Halsted is one of the kind who keeps the hammer under lock and key and wears the smile which makes friends and wins the shekels Shekels goes. He comes back with glowing reports of the countrys prosperity, in line with those brought last week by Barry Goldwater and Lincoln Eow- Ter.
 T found business booming in all lines," said HaIsted T spent most of my time in Missouri and Oklahoma. The crops are fine in most sections and the people are very busy. Work is plentiful for every man who wants work. 1 heard a lot of talk about Arizona and everyone nearly wanted to ask me questions about industrial and investment conditions out here Chandler has been well advertised. IL is more talked of than all the rest of the state combined. I ran into lots of people who had been reading the Arizonian in public libraries and they were all anxious to learn all they could about the new town and the country around it. I gave them all the facts I could think of. I believe big immigration is certain for the Chandler section this fall, and for that matter, the whole Salt River valley
 oklahoma in 1910 and 1911 suf- fered good deal from droughts. The people, that is many of them, are anxious to get into a country like this where the water is assured. Then again they are weary of the extremes in climate. That whole re- zion is fertile soil for advertising seed. And the people are the right kind to make the most out of a new country like this. Good land there is much higher than it is here, and the farming conditions are not to be mentioned in comparison. T come back more convinced than ever of the splendid future of Chan dler and the whole valley. The eli mate alone assures it. One does not appreciate what it means until he understands climatic conditions and the dissatisfaction those extreme con ditions have created in the middle west and all over the eastern section of the country"
 Manager Halsted returns to find the lumber business brisk in Chan dler.

The settlement has been rapid and by a very fine class of people. The townsite is admirably located and now the big hotel is under way and the investment public has a material il- lustration of the big plans of the townsite company, the general devel- op1nent of the town should be rapid.
 Some things are badly needed now, but l have had assurances the most pressing needs will soon be realities and I am content to go ahead with my plans. l shall build three substaptial cottages at once for the rental demand is excellent. The thing needed most just now is a good
 water system. Given that and I see
 no reason why the town should not
 go ahead by leaps and bounds.
 Then after that Chandler needs
 q good railway station. That would
 do away with an extra charge of six
 dollars a car for goods and be a great
 convenience to everyone. That is a
 subject the chamber of commerce
 should take up without delay. Tine town is already an important ship ping point. Business is what the rail-
 roads are after and if this matter is put up to the Southern Pacific officials right l have no doubt an
 excellent station will soon be a real fly
 The country has a bright future no doubt about it. Land is one half the price here it is in the Santa | Maria valley and it produces far in | excess. This climate is unbeatable Nothing can stop Chandler from be- | ing a great winter resort This warm well water you have is a big factor along that line Given the San Mar
 cos hotel and the Natatorium which 1 is to accompany, Chandler must be- | come the resort town of all Arizona | All needed is the get together spirit | which has made southern California | what it is.''
 1 Mir Mallory will improve his forty with the idea of eventually maping 1 his home thereon. The Mallorys have been leaders in church work in San | ta Maria, being members of the | Christian church.

MESA
ARIZONA EASTERN
 HAS COMPETING LINES
Passenger and Freight Autos Are ir the Field for a Portion of the
 Phoenix Mesa Business.

Even the purchase of the railroad from Phoenix to Winkleman from the Santa Fe company by the Southern
 Pacific; failed to insure the latter q monopoly of the business, especially
 between Mesa and Phoenix. For some time past freight autos have been carrying considerable freight be-
 tween the two points, and on the first of last month a regular passenger automobile was put on between the two towns Now, L. A. Norton, who for so many years had charge of the stage lines between Mesa and Roose-
 welt, has added a freight auto car to the carrying facilities between
 Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix Only one car is now used, making daily trips,
 but more will be added as needed. Another Stanley steamer is also to
 be put on for the passenger service, as one 16-passenger car, even at a round trip every three hours, has
 been found inadequate to transport all the passengers. Phoenix, being the county seat, as we'll as the capi- tai, nearly every citizen is compelled to make more or less frequent trips to the city for the transaction of business. The railroad officials say that the falling off of passenger tra- Vel is noticeable since the service
 was established by car, but so far
 the loss of freight has been insignifi cant. As the road has a heavy freight business for Ray, Florence. Kelvin, Hayden and Winkleman, the freight trains over the A. E. are as long as
 the law permits and are running daily The local merchants are pro- fitting, however. by the competition; | freight is handled more promptly than was the case in many instances in
 the past At least, that is the claim
 made by some of the dealers.

ALMOST A FIRE

What might have resulted in an eX- tremely disastrous fire was discovered shortly after o'clock last evening in the Birchett Bros coal house. It or iginated on the roof of the building and the only conclusion that can be drawn as to how it started is that a spark from an engine must have fell in that particular spot. freight train had passed there possibly an hour and a half before. The fire was discovered, though, in ample time so that with the aid of small hose it was extinguished before it was found necessary to ring the fire bell
