POSTMASTER MARR RECEIVES
 LETTER FROM MIR. GOODWIN
Congressman Goodwin States That He Has Secured Ruling on Construc- tion of Federal Buildings.
 May Benefit Prescott.

Postmaster Jno. A. Marr has re- lceived a letter from Congressman Goodwin which states that he has secured a new ruling on federal build | ings and that Prescott may derive some benefit from the ruling. Some time ago there was an appropriation made for the erection of a postoffice building in this city. The department has accepted site donated by Hon. Thos. C. McRae and the new ruling provides that cities or individuals may also donate the plans and specified tions.
 In speaking of the matter Mr Marr gives out the following statement:
 "In a letter from Congressman w. s. Goodwin he states that he has secured ruling by the Treasury De- partment on the construction of Fed eral Buildings, by which the people here may derive the benefit of an early completion of their Public Build ing, if they wish to take advantage of the opportunity. He states that during the past ten years the building opera | tion of the Government has increased to such an extent that the treasure De- partment has been falling steadily behind and at the beginning of the present fiscal year more than three hundred and fifty buildings had been authorized which had not been reach ed by the Supervising Architects of flee in preparing plans and specified tions, and as that office is able to prepare plans for only about one hundred buildings each year, the chances to catch up in the very near future are exceedingly slight. Upon Investigating Philadelphia case he found that it would be about Jan. 1917 before the plans of their building would be undertaken. under the pres ent system, however, he states that a commission has been appointed to investigate the situation and make recommendation for the improvement of the present system.
 "The people of Philadelphia became impatient and are wanting their build
 ing. They took the matter up with Mir. Goodwin and he asked the Assis- tant Secretary of Treasure if the peo- pie of Philadelphia who had donated their site were willing to donate also the plan and specifications acceptable to the Supervising Architects office, if the project there would then be ad- vanced and the contract for its con structon given out He agreed with Mr. Goodwin that it was a fair prop osition and consented to let the con tract as the plane and specifications are prepared.
 "Mr Goodwin thinks this ruling would apply in Prescott's case as il has in Arkadelphia's, as the site has already been donated and the only thing lacking in our case is the plans and specifications. To employ an Architect to do this work will cost four per cent of the cost of the build ing or $2,200 If the people here wish to take advantaee of this opportunity and have their building up and oc- cupied lone before the plans and spe- cificantions would be reached by the architects office, right now is the time to get busy Mr. Goodwin offers to cooperate and assist in any way that | he can in this matter"

VIC SAFER, OF CUBS, TRYING TO
SET new MARK FOR HOME RUNS

in all seven series. By an odd coinci-
dence the Home Run King of 1918
had an awful time striking a four
bag blow In a contest with the
Superbas last season, not doing SO
until September 49,
The pitchers Safer has made most
of his home runs off this year are
those employed by John j. McGraw.
Vic has Jared Mathewson for three
loop the-loop clouts and Fromme for
one. The Chicagoan finds the Red
artillerists the next easy. having made
a brace of homers off Phil Douglass
in one game and one four-bagger off
Leon Ames. Safer also has secured
home runs this season off Oeschger
AMI Alexander, of the Phillies, Ru-
dolph and Hess, of the Braves; Doak,
of the Cardinals, and Harmon, of the
Pirates.
1t was not until last season that
Saier started in to shine as home-
run manufacturer. In 1911 Victor
Sylvester had only one circuit clout
to his credit, and in 1912 only two.
Last year Safer boosted his output of
swats of this kind to fourteen-a
figure he Is sure to excel this season.
Mathewson, as before told, has al
lowed more home runs this season
than any other National League
hurler. He has permitted fourteen
Larry Cheney, of the Cubs. has
yielded ten, and seven have been
garnered off Hub Perdue, OF Boston
and st. Louis; Jimmy Lavender, of
Chicago; "Rube'' Marquard, of New
York, and Erskine Mayer and Grover
Alexander, Of Philadelphia.

If vic Safer, of the Cubs, should
make as many home runs during
August and September as he did dur
ing July, he would pile up more four
baggers than did his teammate, Frank
Wildffre Schultz, when Schultz was
going after Buck" Freeman's record.
The Chicago first baseman last month
sent the sphere hurting through
space for six round-trip wallops get-
ting a brace of homers July 2 off Phil
Douglass, of the Reds, and touching
Bob Harmon, of the Pirates; Christy
Mathewson, of the Giants, and Dick
Rudolph and Otto Hess, of the Braves,
for circuit. clouts ere trial balance
day arrived.
Safer failed to hit for the grand
tour during April, but in May he rid
his system of three -masted
drives, an exploit which he duplicated
in June. His record for August, to
last Sunday, was one four-furlong
slam, made off Christy Mathewson,
who has allowed more homers this
year than any other National League
hurler.
John c'Bucky') Freeman holds the
modern National League record for
homers, having poled twenty-five
while with the Senators in 1899.
Schultz. twelve years later. tore off
twenty-one. Cravath. of the Phillies,

getting next to all seven pitching

The pronounced success attending
the outing of the Essex Printers
Club, at Bronner's Park, in Hilton,
on Saturday, is sure to lead to other
affairs of this kind. The members
of the club were elated over the way
things were handled and high praise
was heard on all sides for those who
had the gathering in charge. Charles
Smith, president of the organization,
who was the prime mover of the out
ing, was very much pleased and he
said afterward that the affair was
up to expectations in every way.
Business men. politicians and news
paper men Joined in making the oc-
casion an enjoyable one. Mayor
Jacob Haussling, who is always there
or thereabouts, came early and re-
NAMED throughout the afternoon and
well into the evening. City Treasurer
Elmer Day was also an early arrival
and nearly every candidate who had
any doubt at all over the outcome
of the primaries mingled in the
throng. It was day well spent and
thoroughly enjoyed and the printers
who conducted it may well feel proud
of their efforts.
Sporting features were on tap
throughout the day. The baseball
game, between Democrats selected by
John Bracken, and Republicans,
chosen by Daniel Gaven, was won by
the Democrats, but the score was not
announced. The tug-of-war match
was won by the team captained by
DIR. O'Reilly. There was a protest
entered that the doctors team had
taken an undue advantage ever its
opponents and the losers want
another chance. Professor Gus Trox-
Ter had several of his clever pupils
from the Central Institute present
and some lively boxing matches were
witnessed. The professor himself
gave an exhibition of strength.

Yale has been unable to press its new

football game this fall because of the
uncertainty that the structure would

work has been so rapid recently aas

assurance the Yale football officials
have taken up the matter with the
Army and Navy officials to play the
game here.
No other American field has a seat
ing capacity of 1900, and no other
can begin to accommodate the crowd
that clamors annually for a sight of
the annual gridiron spectacle. Strong
influences are at work among Army
and Navy officials to urge the choice
of the field. which, 1t is felt by vet
eran officers in both the military de-
partments, is the most ideal
1t is now certain that the playing
surface will be ready for practice by

The Napier Headlight bill that
provides that all locomotive en-
gines shall be equipped with cleo
tric headlights of twelve hundred
candle power is now almost fully
in effect.
For the past three months they
have been placed upon railroad en-
gines at the rate OF two a day and
by May fifteenth every engine in
Colorado, will bear one of these
headlights.
The passage of the bill that
required all engines in Colorado
to bear this kind of a headlighe,
was the hardest fought batt.e ever
fought in the senate, and is to-
day the only piece of railroad leg
islation on the statute books in
the state of Colorado. And al
though these electric headlights
are great safeguard to all rail-
road men, they are just as great
safeguard t. the travelling public.
1t has also been found that these
electric headlights are enough of a
saving over the old-tlme oil lamps
or headlight that in eighteen
months the cost of maintaining
the oil headlight over and above
the cost of the new electric head
light will pay for the Napier head
light. On the Western Slope
