WHAT POSTAL
SERVICE MEANS

The one Department with
which the people come into con-
tact daily, is the Postal Service
or better known as the Post
Office.
It is an institution made up
Of human units designed and
managed to serve the people, ir-
respective of wealth, religion
race or color. But, any institu-
tion operated by man is subject
to human imperfection, the only
remedy or source that will bring
about an adjustment of differ
ences or evenness Of purpose, is
criticism and proper correction.
Any enterprise conducted alto
gether for the public good is apt
to seek the lines of least resist
ance, and in course of time
gradually slide into a rut, but
to prevent this unfavorable con-
dition we must keep abreast of
the times by the infusion of new
ideas and suggestions, these
must be sought away from the
road where we find the rut.
Therefore, this appeal is made
to you, dear reader, for your
ideas and suggestions relative
to this advancement and i'm
provement Of the local postal
service.
Ideas are the gems of human
ingenuity; they glitter forth
from accomplishment like bril-
lance from diamonds. It is that
which we seek: IDEAS. If you
cannot furnish an idea as to how
the local conditions might be i'm
proved, make a suggestion,
which will not only be appreci-
ated but adopted if found use
full.
This is no test of your intel
igence; no mock efforts. It is
an inspiration to serve you bet
ter, and the only prize we are
in a position to offer is, better
service" in accordance with the
Postal Regulations. This will

Tacoma, Wash. - James ShieI is
one of the sufferers from the increas-
ing decency and lawfulness of men in
this state, due to the abolition of
booze.
The more lawbreakers there were
in Tacoma in times past, the more
prosperous was James. He served
meals, under contract, to the pris-
Oners in the city jail. He got eight
cents per meal.
Prohibition has so cut down the
list of Jail inmates that the average
daily Incarceration has been but two.
Three meals a day for two prison
ers amounts to 48 cents a day. That
is what James Shiel and his family
of three youngsters have had to live
on lately.

had needed the position. Now she

That was why he got you your place

His interest and sympathy were

ROBBERY At
M|NOEN SALOON

Tuesday night unknown parties
gained entrance to the Heidelberg
saloon at Minden through transome
and robbed one of the slot machines
of a sum said to be in excess of $3.50.
The robbery took place sometime be-
tween the hours of midnight and day
light. The back was broken of the
slot machine and from appearances,
the robber took his time to the job
and was in no particular hurry. The
.bingles" in the machine were assort-
ed from the half-dollar pieces and
left behind.
Sheriff Arid was notified of the
robbery Wednesday morning and
asked to watch a young man who had
been stopping at the Minden hotel for
a day or two proceeding the robbery.
The suspect was very well dressed
and had made several efforts to Sc
cure employment ON ranches during
his short stay at Minden. He was
questioned by the Sheriff and declared
that while he was short of money. he
did not rob the saloon.
No evidence has been secured that
connects the young man with the
robbery.
Three members of the state police
arrived at Minden from Carson We'd
nesday morning and found perfect
finger prits on the window through
which the burglar gained entrance to
the saloon. These proved the young
strangers innocence.
J. \. Anderson section boss at
Douglas, reports that a man passed
HIS place about , o'clock on the morn
ing OF the robbery occurred and was
headed for Carson. Probably il the
state police find this man, the finger
prints may prove him to be the guilty
cEe.

CONTRACT LET
FORWAREHOUSE

Monday contract was let at Minden
for the erection of large brick
warehouse by the Minden Wool Ware
house company. Ward Brothers of
Reno were the successful bidders. the
price being $4,000.
The Minden Wool Warehouse com
|pany was organized by H. f. Dang
berg, having associated with him in
the undertaking several of the heavy
wool growers of this section. The
building will be one of the first of its
kind in the state and will be built
for the storage of wool and
other products.
Douglas county has advanced dur
ing the past few years from the less
important to one of the most import
ant wool eenters in Nevada. The in
dusty growing by leaps and bounds
in this vicinity and those who are al
ready in the business, are branching
out more and more, while new Deople
are beng attracted to the sheep indus
try by the success of those already in
the business and are buying sheep.
Conditions are extremely favorable
for the sheep industry for several
years to come and with the present
prices continuing for any length of
time there will be many fortunes
made during the next few years.
To handle this large amount of wool
in manner at all adequate, ware
house is necessary hence the new
building to be erected at Minden.
