Parcel Post Rates
Another Reduction in the Par
eel Post Rates---ln Effect
on January lst. 1914

Another increase in the weight Of
parcel post packages will be effective
January lst, when the postoffice de-
partment will increase the weight
limit on packages from twenty to tifty
pounds 10 the tirst and second zones.
The cost Of mailing packages under
the new system will be the same as
before, except that "A heavier article
may be shipped more cheaply because
IL can be mailed iu one package. The
old ruling regarding the size of the
package also remains the same, no
parcel measuring more than seventy
two inches In length and girth being
accepted. 3
Postmaster Gray received official
notice OF the change this week and Is
preparing to enlarge the doors OF the
postotfice to accumulate the new order
OF things.
Commenting on the order, the
Fowler Tribune says:
"Verily, the postoffice department
is rapidly going after the scalp OF the
express companies, and the latter are
beginning To realize that something
will have to be did" It's been great
gravy" for the express companies in
past years. and they have had every
thing their own way. In small places
like Fowler they do not maintain de-
livery wagons, and the expense OF
drayage added to the exhorbitant ex.
press charge made this manner OF
shipment rather burdensome, and the
people generally hail with delight the
efforts of the postal department to
give the people square deal"

EDITOR SNOWFLAKE HERALD,
Dear SIR:
Wecongratulate you upon your
efforts in the journalistic field,
and greatly hope that they will be
crowned with success, and that
the columns of your paper may
be filled with news and items that
will aid in the advancement of
truth and knowledge placing the
people on that higher plane to
which they aspire.
Our quiet little town is awak-
ening to a sense Of duty; that TO
keep up with the world they
must adopt modern ways. They
have recently put in practice one
of these ways by supplying them
wselves with ater for home use.
this lack of good drinking water
has been felt for many, many
years, as most of the people have
hauled it in barrels from the river
and during the rainy season this
water is 50 muddy that as one of
our citizens expressed it, that to
take a bucket full of it and set it
out in the sun for half a day it
would dry over and crack.
Recently Mr. Parks of Holbrook
took the contract of supplying the
people with water in their homes.
This he has done by erecting a
ten foot windmill on a forty foot
tower over a we'll that furnishes
abundance of good water, a 900
gallon tank being placed in the
tower. pump, piper and tanks to
be protected so that frost will not
injure them. Pipes have been
laid to some ten different houses,
and the good wife who toiled 50
long carrying wash water when
the barrel was dry, goes now to
the kitchen and turns the faucet
and as the little girl said the first
time she saw the operation "gets
the water out of the wall. F" This
is greatly appreciated and we
only wonder why we did not get
it before. The cost is about $40,
according to the distance that
aperson has to pipe it. The mill
works fine and furnishes an a.
bundance of water for all purpos-
eS around the house. Some are
talking of arranging so as to have
hOtand cold water in their houses.
Woodruff is trying to keep up
in other lines, last fall or winter

sion to california, on the IA, inst,

Ormore in the field. Two of our
citizens are taking the missionary
course at correspondence school,
SOwe hope to be prepared IN this
aSWell as other lines.
The people are busy many are
away at work, while some have
been attending court at Holbrook,
and the rest are over worked In
taking care of their hay crop, ir-
ngating, etc.
Our aged patriarch John Ried-
head has just passed his 89th

has been rather poorly for the

far the largest county in the
state, and is much larger than
some of the eastern states, and
the last special legislature pro-
vided for it's division and for the
organization of the new county
of Hunt, with the county seat at
Williams. In population Coco
nino county is one of the small
est counties in Arizona, and If
it is divided the people of Flag
staff contend the burden of taxa
ton will be increased, while the
people of Williams contend that
the saving in expenses, if a di-
vision is made, will nearly pay
for a new county government,
and that the convenience to be
had therefrom will more than
make an offsett for any extra ex-
pense.
