MAIL SERVICE
EXPLAINED BY
LOCAL OFFICE

Much comment and confusion has
arisen through the recent change in
train schedules and the attention of
the public has been called on several
occasions TO the schedules for mail
arriving and leaving the city. Through
the cooperation or the local postal Of
ficials a statement of the exact service
with the numbers of the trains, the
time of each and the direction and
destination of the mails, carried was
issued for publication by the Douglas
postoffice officials.
In connection with the issuance or
the schedule the postal officials make
some interesting comments, which
follow:
Mail is dispatched east three times
a day first on train No. at 1l:25 a.
M; next on train No. at 1857 p m-'
and last on train No. 3 for eastern
conections at Tucson at 4:5S p. m.
Mail is dispatched west at S:1S p. m,
and again at 4:53 p. m.
The first mail from the west Is re-
ceiyed on train No. at 1925 m, anu
is again received from local points
between here and Tucson on train NO.
2 at 1857 p m.
Eastern mail arrives on train NO. Z
at $50 a. M, on the Colder state
tied at 4.5S p. m, and ais ~
No. by way of Cochise, this Pouch
being brought to Phoenix by the star
route carer.
The local postoffiee is of the opinion
that the mail service would be greatiy
improved if service were established
over train No. at night. This woula
give a late dispatch to Ell Paso ana
eastern points and would be better
than having an early train taake the
place Of No. 1.
/ No. Z formerly supplied local points
between here and Tucson in the morn
/ ing and this service was missed when
that train was discontinued. However,
with the establishment of star route
service, January l. by the Pickwlck
/ stages, supplying Bispee, tombstone

early morning dispatch of first class
mail and daily papers for these points.

former republican presidential can
didate, reaffirming his opinion that
the treaty should be ratified.
"What lis there in the present sit,

should in doing SO consider the fact
that at least % nations have since
1891 concluded treaties with Turkey
on terms no more favorable than
those proposed to u.s.
Davis sees another reason for rati-
fication in his belief that the Ameri-

Olson said his office had convicted
more than 5000 bootleggers in the
past four years, a larger number
than any other prosecuting office in
the country and had set another
record in the number of places pad

The district attorney disclaimed
that prohibition had made officials
turn crooked but had opened up new
sources of revenue for the same
grating officials, who always pro-
tected gambling, prostitution, dope
peddling thievery and other forms OF
crime.
'It has been estimated that the
graft collected from booze, vice and
crime in this district amounts to the
princely sum of $4,000, 900 a year.

'sThe influence or $S0,000,000 of
