By our special correspondent.)

l ne was elected to go to Washington, l Congressman Donovan has paid Saug- 1 atuck and Westport a visit. At that
 time he said it was only friendly call, but like all his visits of the same 1 nature in other towns, it is believed
 that it had something to do with a 1 certain government position. When he was here the congressman was given Ia good earfulI of the needs of Saug- atuck for a new post office. When he | looked into the present abode of Uncle
 sam in that place he was quite sure l of it. However, the congressman was not the inst who had been asked to endeavor to secure a new office in 1 Saugatuck. Some time last summer a petition had been sent on to the post otftce department explaining that the needs of more room were urgent
 Information has now doated back
 this way that when the new postnas- ter general makes his next recommend alton to congress that it will include a requisition citing the needs of Saug- atuck and asking for the appropria- ton for a new building. Look now for ] a land boom in Saugatuck once the real estate dealers learn that the gov ernment is in earnest.
 If there are any changes to be made i 1t is quite sure that they will not be brought about this season and prob ably will not until the change is made in the postmastership.
