ALL BRANCHES OF LOCAL POST

The rapidity of the city's growth,

interesting Facts.
The stamp receipts Of the Fargo
postoffice now amoun to the gross
receipts of the whole postoffice depart
ment for the first twenty years Of it's
existence, 1775 to 1895, Benjamin
Franklin was the first postmaster gen.
eral. There were no stamps used I'M
til 1847, the letters and mail matter
before that time being stamped with
the amount prepaid or the amount

at that time was very high. a rate of
10 cents for sending a letter for a
amount.
Receipts More Than Doubled.
In the last five years, the total re-

have nearly doubled. In 1906 the re-

Stamp Sales.
The increase in stamp sales over
that of five years ago is $52, 244.48,
last years sales amounting to $751;

Growth About State.
The growth of the state is indicated
by the deposits received from North
Dakota offices, which have more than
doubled in the past five years. The
amount paid for rural delivery is also
a fine indication Of the growth Of the
state, n of the increased efficiency
Of the rural service. The expense for
rural delivery in 1905 amounted to
$267,535.80. In the year just closed
the total was $575, 451.34, or an in
crease Of 1907, 1854.
Money Orders.
The money order business has also
increased very largely. In 1905 the
domestic money orders issued amount
ed to S130,927.37. In 1913 they were
$1S2,S56.40. an increase of SCI, 929.03.
The international money orders also
show a very substantial increase. The
deposit of money order funds from
other offices was 1892, 331.53 in 1905,
and in 1919 1t had increased to 81 ,709,-
S26.64, an increase of $777,195.11. The

| shocked into inanition. there followed
tew seconds OF pulseless silence.
Again Holton's pistol rang out. This
time. ftom the direction OF the hidden
advancing forces. there came several
snort, sharp commands. A Holton
IAy hidden. thankful that the Spaniards
had evidently attributed the shots to
some overanxious soldier on their own
Side. he saw two Cubans steal along
ne trsA and behind them gigantic
young sergeant in the uniform Of .
Rough Rider.
Close behind him were four men.
They were picking their way stealth
hy. 1here was NO question that Hol-
tons shots bad the desired effect.
Then. ~ he looked, several long.
lancsliks lines Of flame dArted out Of
the bushes In which the spaniards lay.
Ihs valley resounded with = racketing
uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider
sergeant stop short with . look Of sur
prise upon his face. saw his jaws set
grfmly. saw him advance a step, and
then heavs forward on his face, block
Ing the trail with his body.
Tho bushes beneath Holton were
now darting sheets Of flame and the
gases from the smokeless powder drift
ed upward and into his nostrils.
From the American side he heard q
crashing AZ the main body rushed up
into action or deployed into the grass
to the eastward of the trail and then
suddenly out of the thicket came the
roar of the Krags. Holton thrilled
with pride as he noticed that the aim
OF the Americans was low and that the
shooting discipline was excellent.
The firing was incessant and Holton
whose activities with his revolver had
brought q volley or two in his direc-
ton. now ceased firing and began to
work his way into the valley toward
the American position. He had not
gone far when the advancing lines
swept upon him.
Hello, Bud" cried a tall, swarthy-
faced sergeant from a New Mexican
ranch. "what're you dom way out
heref"
Holton smiled and was about to re-
ply when red light suddenly flashed
before his eyes and he clapped his
hand to his forehead, for 1t seemed as
though red-hot brand had suddenly
been clamped upon it. Then merciful-
ly came darkness.
And as he lay thus in the tall grass,
his eyes closed, blood streaming down
his cheeks and coagulating in the hot
sun. the Rough Riders met the regu-
lars from across the valley. while four
companies revolved around the left
end Of the hidden enemy and then. as
the Spaniards later put 1t, they start
ed to catch US with their hands,"
For . mile and half these men,
who had marched into what approx
mated deadly surprise, chased the
spaniards. sent them flying hastily
from three successive barricades until
finally, in utter route, they abandoned
all thought Of further interference
with the American movement and fell
back on the trenches before Santiago.
But Holton did not witness this
triumph Of Guasimas. Long after the
thin blue line had swept on up the val
ley he lay as he had fallen, vultures
flying over him and terrible land-crabs
rattling about, seeking for that food
which death alone makes palatsble to
them.
