w MAIL. ROUTE TO BE IN
OPERATION MARCH FIRST

Arvaia's new mail route will be in
operation March LIST, and many Of
tbs patrons of Arvada Post office,
and those, who for many years have
felt that they should be patrons of
it are glad, while there are still few
who will not be benefited to any
material degree. Some will be even
inconvenienced thereby, but for the
great majority it will be a great ben
fit and convenience.
The new order Of things has been
slow in reaching perfection, in fact,
an effort was made some three years
ago to bring it about, but the efforts
of Postmaster Newton met with op-
position which prevented the change,
and it was not until the office had
become SO burdcnsome for one car
rier to handle. and the difficulty of
retaining him or of getting anyone to
take his place was questionable, the
authorities were induced to consent
to an additional route out of Ar11ada.
By careful study of the territory
tributory to the Arvada postoffice,
by the postmaster, and with the sug-
gestions of J. M. Compton, who has
been on the job thru thick and thin,
the mileage TO be covered by the two
carrier was divided about even, only
a fraction of mile difference.
Each route covers approximately
81 and fraction miles.

Patrons will receive complete in
structions in next weeks paper, from
the postal department. as to the STAN
dard requirements regarding boxes
and their location.
Among the advantages of this new
route will be that many on Golden
No. 2 route, will get their mail from
Arvada direct, and no occasion for
delay, altho the present service, 80
far AZ We know, gives them their
first-ciass mail which goes west on
the morning train. However, GER
periods OF the year tn. train service
changes, and In that case their mail
will still rech them without delay.
Other advantages are afforded to
those living in the east part of town
south Of the railroad tracks, or just
outside Of town. such as Maloney's,
Carnes,' Dormer's. Terwilligers, and
others. They heretofore have been
compelled to 20 to the postoffice for
their mail. Now It will be delivered
at their doors. Then n great por-
ton Of Griffith, living south of the
tramway tracks, have had to 20 to
tho north side Of the tracks, on Col.
Iege Avenue to their boxes, which re.
sembled very much in looks, q sol.
diers' burying ground. from a dis.
tant view. Now they will remove
these boxes to their own front gates,
or practically so. Virtually, they are
to have the same advantages an the
people In North Berkeley.
