BIG BUSINESS FOR PosToFFlcE

Postmaster J. O. Mullen states that the .mail business was never larger in Tempe than it has been during the past week, and thankful he is that a greater part of the holiday rush has been concluded. Practically all of the outgoing mail has vanished by now and it is thought that ma lcrity of the incoming mail is also out of the way. This weeks rush has warranted the use of three addi- tional clerks. Today the office will be open, if the Maricopa train is or time, at 9:30 o'clock or thereabouts. Should the train be late, just that much later will the office window open for the distribution of mail. Service on the rural free delivery routes will be made the same as usual. The postmaster therefore asks that no requests be made to him for mail which is delivered by R. F. D.. The two carriers will leave town as nearly on schedule as possible and will cover their entire routes.

MARKET DECORATIONS

The Gem City Market has some of the finest decorative work that has ever been seen in any market in Mesa. The show window has been attracting crowds for the past two days. The typical Christmas pig, with the apple in it's mouth. is prob ably as fine a sample as has ever been produced anywhere; then there is the young lamb that looks good enough to eat without cooking; a tur- key all ready for the oven, except that it would spoil the decorations to subject the bird to heat; and ham, sides of bacon, roasts, etc. The dec orative work was done by Paul Col ling, assisted by F. B. Gurley and the employees of the market. MT. Ceiling is the artist of the Holland Bakery and it is as easy for him to make candy birds, bouquets and fili- gree work as it is for butcher to saw steaks. The snow effect given the window scene is very effective so natural in fact that people shiver with cold just from looking through the glass.

THE TELLURIUM BONDED

Recently Col. Fred Bowler visited the Tellurium mining property, owned by Mesa people and located abuot sixty miles north, to make an ex- animation in the interest of a syndi- cate of capitalists. Yesterday a deal was closed by which Col. Bowler's company secures a working bond on the property. The consideration is one hundred thousand dollars, pay able as follows.
