POST OFFICES

Rural Routes Desired

An immense growth in the postal
business of the vicinity of Phoenix has
made itself evident with the demand
for four new post offices for this va
Icy. Tollcson. Paradise Valley and the
southside lands under the Western ca
nal all these are after suburban post
offices, and have pctitioncd the depart
ment at Washington for them. This
information was given out yesterday
by Postmaster J. IL. McClintock, who
added a few words of his own about
the newest Phoenix route. rural No. 6.
There is a large tract of newly settled
land under the Western canal, inha5it-
ed now mostly by homesteaders. 1t
was here that a commercial club was
formed among the farmers, and it was
here that demands for recognition as a
live busting community went forth.
Good roads, schools and now a post
office have been asked for by the
southsiders.
Paradise Valley wants two offices,
one at each end. The site fer the
eastern office is four miles north of
ScOttsdaIe and the other is designed
to nestle in the hills on the Cave Creek
road about il miles north of Phoenix.
The TOlIeSOn office IS to be on the
Yuma road ten miles west of the city
and right in the rich agricultural dis
trict around tLlt hun1m!Cg little town.
There is some agitation at Glendale
for a rural route This ambitious
scheme is designed to relieve the mail
poverty of those people who reside be-
tween the Aqua Tria and the ends Of

is a movement on foot to secure a rural
route out of the Cashion post office.
an office that has been but lately in

route
Phoenix route six is doing so Well
that the postmaster had to 1"fer to it
especially. He was pleased at the sue
cess of the route, for it has filled
tremendous demand, 1t serves all
those who live north of the Grand ca
nal and out OrangeWOOd way.

Barley Yield

Dickinson. N. D.. Dec. 22.-There
has been considerable interest in the
results Of trials with Swediih pedi-
greed 2-rowed barleys that have been
carried on At the Dickinson expert
ment station. As result Of several
years trials. the Hannchen and Swan
Neck barleys have been found to out
yield the ordinary 6-rowed and Nae
hull-less barleys over IS per cent.
During some of the years the new
barleys, have doubled the yield Of the
common sorts. Supt. L. r. Waldron
early recognized the probable value Of
these new, barleys and made distribu-
ton Of seed to some good farmers .
few years ago. and as result there
is now; something like 900 bushels az
seed Of these two barleys available for
distribution.i
Over 100000 acres of barley ana

Early Morning Blaze
Leaves Family Homeless

-
The Christmas Of 1913 was a
sad one for A. H. Blackburn and
family. The day before Christ
mas at about two o'clock in the
morning their home was destroy
ed by FIRE from which they mar
rowly escaped with their lives in
their night clothing. All their
personal effects, clothing and
household goods were destroyed.
The building destroyed was To-
Gated on the lot just south of the
old Beach Advance office and was
the property Of q: 70. Hougen.
The FIRE started from some un-
known cause. apparently in the
kitchen and before the slumber-
ing members of the household
were awaken the whole interior
Of the building was = mass Of
flames.
The FIRE alarm was turned in by
Mr.. Walker, located on the next
lot to the east, and l6 Of Beach .
FIRE fighters responded under As
sistant Chief Darlington and
great credit is due them for the
manner in which they responded
and worked to bring the FIRE un.

son and little Helen Hickock. Mr..
Blackburn was awakened BY the
smoke, but not until he was near
ly overcome. He awakened the
boys and when they attempted to
go down stairs were driven back
by the FIRE coming up the stair
way. They were forced to make
their escape by jumping to the
ground on the outside, the smoke
being so dense that they were un-
able to find or get any clothing
on. Mrs. Blackburn was awaken
ed about the same time and she
barely got the children out Of the
burning building. The fire evil
IDENTIFY started in the kitchen and
the walls being papered on lath.
the fire quickly spread to every
room in the house which became
a fiery furnace before anyone
was awakened. and it is fortunate
that the family was not cremated
in the building.
They were taken care of at the
Walker home and on Wednesday
a subscription was taken up about
town and presented to them,
amounting to about $3.50 besides
a large amount Of clothing, etc.
The FIRE was a particularly sad
one in that every preparation had
been made BY the family for a
happy Christmas. Albert. who
has been attending school away
from home. returned to spend his
vacation and all those things tha,
go to make a happy Christmas.
