POST OFFICE
 0N INCREASE
Substantial Gains at Mesa Office Indicate Growing Business-Another Rural Route is Probable-Pros- poets Encouraging

There is possibly no better barom- eter showing the increase in business growth of any community than the in crease of the postal eceipts. The Mesa office during the past year has enjoyed continuous increase in re- celpts every month showing gain and a total gain amounting to over S40O for the year. The total receipts for the twelve months amounted to S352S. 20. It should be taken into considerat ton that there are postoffices at Higley, Gilbert and Chandler who transact the business for the sections surrounding them. This territory only short time ago was properly within the jurisdic- tion of the Mesa office. It was thought that the local office receipts would drop perceptibly after the smaller of fees to the south and east were put in working order. However. there has been enough new business to more than offset the dividing up of the district and permitting of much gain For the above reasons the local office has really made much greater increase than will be inferred from a casual reading of the total receipts as set forth in the figures.
 In addition to the past increase the future year gives promise of being the greatest in the history of the institu- tion. One of the improvements is the probable addition of another rural route which has been gone over by an inspector and which will run east of town along the transmission line, the Roosevelt road and the Florence road taking in approximately twenty five miles and serving nearly two hundred families. The establishment of the new route will necessitate the rearrange- ments of the route now covering DOT tion of the section east of town.
 The parcels post has been quite an item at the local office in that a num- Der of the local merchants have taken advantage of the low rate within the 150 mile limit to send fifty pound par cels. The last shipment of 1900 pounds of grain went out yesterday destined to Holebrook. During the year great deal of flour and grain has been sent to Payson and Pine and other mountain towns off the railroad at the parcels post rates.

TEMPE
EXTENSIVE REPAIRS ON
 SOUTH SIDE ROADS
Crews at it Day and Night With
 Graders and Drags

Tempe town and county road of ficials are doing their utmost to place the highways of this vicinity in shape again. Within the city limits drags and graders were at work all Thursday, most of Thurs day night and yesterday and on the roads out of town the Overseers of the county were busy with their forces leveling off the long stretches and placing them in the best possi- ble shape for travel once more.
 Road repairing is somewhat diff ferent after the recent rain than it has been previously and methods of repair that have formerly been fol- lowed are now almost useless. On the county roads were travel has been at all heavy deep ruts have re- suited and worse yet the earth has packed down so firmly that nothing beyond ordinary travel and wear will smooth the bumps over.
 Chairman of the street committee of the council, D. G. Buck has put in full time supervising the repair "oIh ol tle toWH StTeetS uurlng tne last two days. From noon Thursday until midnight the grader worked on main street. Drags were also busy all of yesterday.
