north, which probably have a subter-
ranean connection with Iceberg Lake.
The other lakes of Glacier National
Park contain a dozen varieties of big
trout, but so far as can be learned
this is the first time any fish has been
taken from Iceberg Lake. It is said
this species never before has been
found except in the Arctic region. It
is very large species, measuring
slightly more than two feet in length.
The distinguishing feature of it is
the shape and striation Of the oper-
cular bones. The prize is being pre-
served and will be sent east for more
absolute Identification. Iceberg Lake
is the only lake in the world contain
ing ice foes.

According to Postmaster Haas, the
the busiest seasons in it's history. 1t
has been necessary to hire four extra
parcel post wagons, and to employ
four extra carriers and two extra mail
clerks besides working the regular Of
fee force from twelve to fourteen
hours a day
The parcel post packages handled in
the last few days have broken all rec
ords, and the five wagons that are
busy night and day suffice only for
parcels to private homes and smaller
business houses, the largest manufac-
turing houses and similar institutions
sending their own wagons for the
mail twice a day. So great has been
the influx of this class Of mail that
the office rooms of Postmaster Haas
and Lawrence Handley have been
turned into sorting rooms and the
packages have been piled high in ev-
cry corner.
Everyone Sends Cards.
THE post card craze" said Mr.. Haas
sis as great as ever. Up until the first
of this week we believed that it would
not come up to the record of former
years, but within the last few days
surprising number have been re-
ceived. For the last week the receipts
at the stamp window have amounted
ito about $1,000 daily. Every one has
been so busy that no definite figures
for. the season have been made, but
we know from rough averages that
the work this year is probably the
greatest in the history of the office"
'1t is difficult to find clerks who
can do the work quickly, and we find
it much more satisfactory to work
overtime ourselves. The extra hours
put in by our regular force would be
equivalent to employing twelve OF
more extra men"

FIRE CAUSES LOSS
OF STATE ARMORY

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 24.-While
thousands of high calibre army cart
ridges we're belching chunks Of lead
in every direction, endangering the
lives and handicapping the work of
the frefghters, the Indiana National
Guard armory, Thirteenth street and
Ashland Avenue, burned to the
ground late last night. OF the $4,000
loss about sec, 1000 was due TO the des-
truction of army equipment.
Mystery surrounds the origin Of the
fire, which broke out just after Com
pany H had finished drill practice and
had left the armory.
Bullets were already popping when
the firemen reached the scene and
soon developed into such terrific
bombardment that they were forced 10
retreat and fight the flames from a
distance.
Hundreds of autos and thousands OF
pedestrians surrounded the thrilling
spectacle at distances that were
scarcely beyond the danger zone.
Several companies of militia were
housed at this armory during the
street car strike disorders.

REACH NO AGREEMENT
Commissioners Discuss I'm
provement of Road.

No agreement had been reached
between the county commissioners and
Frank Cronin, who had the contract
for the construction of the National
road, west when the meeting adjourn
ed yesterday afternoon.
Before the commissioners and the
contractors compromised the Difficult
ties incident to the construction of
the road. due to the presence of the
T. H, l. & e. traction line. the con-
tractor had done considerable work
toward the making of 46-foot road
way After the matter was compro-
missed by making the road 40 feet wide
the road was completed.
Now the contractor thinks that he
should be paid for the work that he
did under the original specifications.
The commissioners hold that nothing
was said about payment for this work
in the compromise of the difficulty.
1t is probable that the matter can
be settled without taking 1t into the
court, according to T. J. Study, attor-
ney for Mr.. Cronin.
