MAIL AVALANCHE STRIKES HARD
 >e Need of New Quarters Empha-. sized by Seasons Crush FACILITIES ARE LACKING
Sacred Heart Church Announces Special Program of Christmas Music-Town Farm Prepares To Celebrate - Church News and Other Items.

This Christmas seasons rush of mail has brought to the attention Of local residents more forcibly than any other situation, the fact that Berlin is in, dire nesd of new post office. The promoters of the move ment for up-to-date building have recently begun a new drive for the proposed structure and claim that a fair minded review of the situation would convince any resident of Der lin that the time has arrived for new quarters.
 The present building. or the "chcken coop" as it is called by Berlinites, contains a spacious lobby for waiting patrons of approximate ly 1ox4 feet. This space is capable of containing not more than five persons comfortably at the same time. The opening of the door to the ediiice completely shunts off one section of the room and usually succeeds in catching a patron in the small of the back when opened hur- ricdly. The window for receiving mail fig in a direct line with the door, thus compelling patrons to move at every new arrival.
 Behind the counter, conditions are decidedly worse than in front of the boxes. Postmaster Ambrose Barrett with his assistants are crowded into space, excluding the tiny back room. of approximately 12x2 feet. Passing each other in the carrying out of their duties is largely a matter of contortions and acrobatics. The room is lighted by two windows, one of them plate glass front and the other a. small window, nearly completely blocked by articles which are. used in the daily work. Working conditions therefore are made difficult by the absence of proper lighting.
 The space behind the counter is also crowded with stamping ma chimes, receptaclcs, packages await ing claimants and an abundance of other articles that are constantly under foot. The postmaster and his assistant have the sympathy of the promoters of the movement and they have been assured that the present drive will not terminate witt, any action less than the estab- fishing of new, larger and more sanitary post office.

Nevertheless that is exactly the
case" Mr.. Johnson said. 1.-THE
Northern Pacific has three large ice
houses in this state to supply its
trains, both freight and passenger,
and so far the weather conditions
have been most unfavOrable as far
as the ice harvest is concerned The
ice houses are located at Fargo,
jamestown and Mandan.
Mr.. johnson is making a trip over
the roads entire system. from ST.
Paul to Seattle and Tacoma, Wash,
and is stopping en- route at various
cities to arrange details Of the i'm
provements planned by the company
during the present year.
Program Of Improvement
The Northern Pacific, according
to Mr.. Johnson, will lay 270 miles of
1OO-pound and l3O-pound rail this
year. This is approximately $4,000
tons of rail. or 1000 carloads. The
company will also put under its
tracks 100000 yards of washed,
crushed ballast, of which 100000
yards will be placed through the
famous Pyramid park in western
Dakota. This is twice as great as
any ballast program of previous
years. and the work is being done to
provide still better tracks and to
eliminate tho dust nuisance.
The company's program also con-
templates the installation of much
additional side track facilities ia
provide for the future growth OF
business. Mr.. Johnson said.
