LOWELL POSTOFfICE
 HAS LARGE BUSINESS
Four Hundred and Sixty Boxes Rented and Indi-
 Yidual Office Desired

Except for a few Of the higher priced boxes, every lock box in the Lowell post office is rented. This brings the total of box renters up to 460. which is by far, the largest num- Der ever rented in Lowell. Every day brings more applications, and from present indications, nearly nft3 more will be needed before the end Of the present quarter. It is now planned 10 increase the capacity of the Lowell post office with one or two hundred more boxes, and if conditions are favorable, L6weil's post office will be larger by half its present size before the first of April.
 For some time past, a sentiment has prevailed among certain I.oweh people, that the efficiency of the present service could be bettered Il they were to have post office of their own, free of Bisbee. The seDtl- ment has expressed itself in a can Nass Of the Lowell citizenship to- wayds the prevalence Of this idea. and several of the most prominent cfti- zens feel that q post office codld be obtained in Lowell.
