Two gins at Chandler and three at Tempe have started on the seasons crop, while yesterday morning the Egyptian Cot ton company's gin at Mesa began work.

 MESA RURAL CARRIER

MESA, Oct 29.-Postmaster D. c. Babbitt is in receipt of letter from the fourth assistant postmaster gen. eral advising him of the appointment of Mrs. Susie NJ. Barefoot as rural car Tier for the Mesa route. This route has proven entirely too long for one car rier, covering as it does 54 miles over country roads and serving 341 boxes each day except Sunday. The result has been that, despite the earnest eff forts of capable carriers the service never has been satisfactory to the pa irons, and for more than a year past MT. Rabbit, the Mesa Commercial club and the ranchers have combined to have two carriers appointed, but thus far without success. Owing to the present carrier, who by the way was temporary appointee, having been ill at times during his incum- bency the mail has not been delivered
