"BE POLITE" SAYS
POSTMASTER GENERAL
TO POSTAL EMPLOYEES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13!-Courtesy
is a word that must appear in the
lexicon of every postal employe, un-
der an order issued by Postmaster
General Hays. Proper courtesy" says
the order, docs not retard, but ex-
pedites business, and the employe
who exercises, unfailingly, courtesy
throughout each hour of each days
work renders more in service than
can be measured as hours of duty.
The department thanks every postal
worker for every courteous thank
you expressed to patrons, and espe-
cially for every thank you earned
from the public by intelligent and
courteous service rendered" EN-
ployes who serve the public at win
dows are forbidden to engage in un-
necessary conversation, and are told
to answer inquiries civilly and to the
fullest extent permitted.

REPORT FOR RECLAMATION
RECORD OF UNCOMPAHGRE
PROJECT FOR SEPTEMBER

Weather conditions during Septem-
Der were normal during the entire
month. Precipitation occurred at the
Montrose station on only two days
during the month, the total rainfall
amounting to only .O9 of an inch.
The crop situation was about nor
NAL at the end of the month All
the grain crops have been harvested,
and threshing is now in progress.
The digging of potatoes is proceeding
rapidly, but the growers are threat
ened with a car shortage, and on ac-
count of the large acreage that was
planted to potatoes there is not
enough storage to take care of the
crop. The onion crop is movingoto
| the market at rate approximating
| about SO per hundredweight. The
third cutting of alfalfa is now being
stacked. A large acreage is also be-
ing planted to winter wheat.
The demand for irrigation water
was not very heavy during the month,
and the supply available from the
Gunnison tunnel and the natural flow
Of the Uncompahgre river was more
than sufficient for project needs. The
flow through the Gunnison tunnel was
variable and depended upon the irri-
cation demand.
The p. G H. dragline was idle dur
ing the entire month.
On account Of the lack of demand
for irrigation water, the ditch riders
were employed for the greater por-
tion of the month in cutting weeds
and brushing along the canal and
lateral sections.
The maintenance work required on
the drainage trenches at the Mont
rose and Delta canal slides near
Happy Canyon was completed, The
boulder concrete wall at the Happy
Canyon fIume crossing on the west
canal was also completed. The waste
way from the west canal at the Happy
Canyon creek was riprapped for a
length of $50 feet. A massive con-
crete drop was placed in the waste
way from the Montrose and Delta
canal to Happy Canyon creek in or
der to prevent excessive cutting.
