THE BRIDGEPORT TIMES
New Place To
Post Letters

The old story of the fellow who
pulled the fire alarm in endeavoring
to post a letter no longer stands as
the latest of the foolish things that
munication received by Director of
Public Works Geo. Coughlin shows
that the newest place to post a letter
is in the vast paper receptacle On the
streets. The letter received by the
Director is as follows.
My dear Sir:
L would respectfully call your at
tention to the difficulty that is being
experienced by this office on account
of the proximity of the modern trash
receptacle TO the letter box at the
corner of Broad and Cannon streets
On several occasions it has been
found that patrons of this office have
mistaken the receptacle for, "a mail
box and have deposited mail matter
therein thereby causing delay and in
some cases, loss of the letters, etc.
In view of the fact that several in
stances are known where mail has
been thoughtlessly dropped into the
trash receptacle it is very probable
that some mail has been taken away
with the trash and thus lost or de-
stroyed.
receptacle could be removed to some
other point or perhaps have one of the
old fashioned type subse' ituted.
Your early attention to this matter
VIII be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
@ F. Greene,
Postmaster.
when commenting on the incident
this morning the Director said Il will
most certainly remove the receptacle
but frankly~I am reluctant to do SO
since 1 think that many of the letters
intended to give me a knock will now
be received 10y me. Thus far 1 think
some of them must have been placed
in the paper geceptacles."

WHY FLAGSTAFF SHOULD
 HAVE SWIMMING POOLS

Mystery surrounds the report re- ceived here yesterday by ranch own- CT near the city relating the appear ance of beautiful September Mom'' who, forgetting it was only August took swim in his private pool la Eve"
 Tt was early in the morning." the ranch owner said. Looking out of my window toward the pool half hidden my pines, saw the water splash and knew someone was in swimming
 We have not used the pool re- gently. My son and daughter, who swim, are away. 1 wondered.
 T left the house and, nearing the pool, saw plainly the beautifully white body of woman. She was not wear ing bathing suit
 Although cast but a momentary glance. l was able to see that she was a blonde of medium size, exquisitely formed.
 Needless to say, notified my fore man, bolder man than I, to order her to dress and leave the pool.
 The foreman, according to the rancher's story went down to the pool and told the lovely Ia " of mys- tery she must not stay in swimming.
 Nothing daunted, the mysterious one leisurely splashed through the water to the oppoiste bank, where, on the cement, she did graceful sun dance.
 Finally she disappeared behind a clump of bushes and was never seen again.
 The pool, the ranch owner said, is right near the road, which, however, is little travelled. He knew of no camping party on his property. He had heard no automobiles pass that morning. No trace of the "Septem- Der Morn" was found after she left the swimming pool
 T am completely mystified," the ranchman declared.--Tucson Star.

ANOTHER FEDERAL JUDGE
 WILL SOON BE GIVEN STATE

That second federal judgeship for the Arizona district is assured in the near future, as the result of recom- mendations to be made by congress ional joint committee, was disclosed by IF. H. Bernard, United States at torney. MT. Bernard returned Fri day from Washington, D. C., where he was in conference with Attorney General Daugherty, Senator Ralph H. Cameron and other members of the Arizona delegation in congress.
 After some weeks of consideration, MT. Bernard states a conference com mittee of the senate and house have agreed upon the passage of bill giv- ing Arizona a second federal judge.
 Promptly after the disposal of cer- tain vital legislation now under con- sideration, MT. Bernard states the federal judgeship bill will come up for adoption, with virtually no opposition in either house.
 Should the bill be passed shortly, MT. Bernard asserted that the new federal judge would probably estab- fish headquarters in Phoenix and hold court in the state capital and in Pres colt. Judge Sawtelle, on the other hand, would remain at the Tucson headquarters, also holding court in Globe and other southern Arizona points. A federal district would not be added, it being the plan to divide the present one between two jurists.

MINER AT KINGMAN
 MEETS TRAGIC FATE

A. E. Nichols met with tragic death in the shaft of the Mitchell mine of the Leland group, near Oat- man, last Saturday afternoon. Nichols had gone into the shaft to return a water bucket to the ways, it having slipped off 400 feet below the collar, and when he did not report the hoist man gave the alarm. It is supposed that he slipped off the ladder when attempting to replace the bucket. Blood was found on the timbers be- low where the bucket hung and the searchers began the work of drawing the water from the mine, there being still 80 feet of the shaft under water. Air was pumped into the water and the body rose to the drift, which had been partly cleared of water. The body was in the water about 48 hours, not being recovered until late Mon- day night. When recovered it was found that the neck was broken, the skull fractured and the body badly bruised and broken.

HEAVY RAINS FLOOD.
 MOHAVE COUNTY LAST WEEK

Torrential rains have been the or der of the day during the past week. Wednesday afternoon the Santa Fe tracks in the neighborhood of Chero- kee was side swiped for some dis tance, holding up all traffic for 12 hours. The whole country east of Blackberry and in and around King man was aflood, the deluge tearing out highways, as well as the railroad. kingman canyon was impossible for several hours to motor traffic, but the road was gotten in shape within an hour after the flood subsided.
 Blackberry Wash, or as it is known to geographers, Yampai Creek, was a torrent for many hours and impas- sable to motor vehicles. The territory drained by the creek is quite exten- sive, running as far east as Nelson and twenty or thirty miles south. It was the heavy drainage through Peach Springs that tore out the rail- road tracks at Cherokee.
 The rains also made impassable sections of highway to the north of Kingman, the mail carrier to Chlor- ide having narrow escape in one ot the washes, where his car was caught in the roll of water and the mails giv- en a thorough soaking. Other places through the country were drenched, the floods being the heaviest known in years.-Kingman Miner.

NEW COLORADO RIVER
 COMMISSION PUT IN OFFICE

A new commission composed of three men has been appointed by w s. Norviel, state water commissioner for the purpose of determining what lands in Arizona can be irrigated by the Colorado river, according to no- tification which has reached the Doug las chamber of commerce.
 Following are the members of the new commission: B. c. LaRue, hy- draulic engineer of the United States geological survey; Porter J. Preston, project manager of the Yuma project, United States reclamation service, and H. E.. Turner, hydraulic engineer of the state water commission.
 The work of the commission will start October and will involve ex- tensive investigation of the problem of what Arizona lands can be reached by the water of the Colorado river, the location of all possible diversion dams along the river, the possibility of reaching lands from the proposed reservoir in the neighborhood of Boul- der canyon, and survey as to what lands can be economically reached by means of pumping from the reser- voirs, from the river and from canals. This reconnaissance survey will be fol- lowed up later and plotted in greater detail.

MAD DOGS IN PHOENIX BITE
 FIFTEEN IN FEW DAYS

Stringent measures are to be taken to check the epidemic of rabies now raging among the dogs in Phoenix and in the other towns in Maricopa county, according to a statment is- sued by Sheriff John Montgomery. Within the past few days, the sheriff said, 15 people in Phoenix have been bitten by dogs believed to have been afflicted with rabies, and these people are now taking the Pasteur treat ment.
 The county board of health has is- sued an order to the sheriff to en- force the ordinance passed last Jan- uary by that body requiring that all dogs in the city and county be mug zled or confined and in obdeience to this order Sheriff Montgomery said his men have been instructed to kill all dogs found running at large without muzzle.
