Relative to the Necessity for the Es
tablishment of a Branch Post Office
on This Side Conference Held
with Members of the Board of
Trade Boom for Greater West
Scranton Funeral of Richard Oer
rlty Contemplated Changes Other
Shorter Paragraphs.
The proponed branch postoflU-c pro
ject Inaugurated by the West Side
Tloard of Trndc some time iiro Ir as
suming a decidedly favorable -jiupcct,
and If the conference held yesterday
afternoon between Inspector Onrmtm
nnd representatives of the board can
be taken as a criterion, the establish
went will bo an assured fact.
When the subject was llrst brought
to the attention of the board a com
mittee -was appointed to further the
plan and the matter was presented to
Posmasicr Hippie, who was urged to
do what he could In behalf of the
branch oftlre. The committee was In
structed as to what course should be
pui sued and the necessary steps were
taken toward that end.
At a subsequent meeting of the
board a petition was unanimously
adopted outlining the nerds of such an
Institution and copies were forwarded
to Congressman Connell und Commls.
sloner Powderly In Washington. Roth
of these gentlemen immediately recog
nized tlio necessity for a branch post
ofllce. and acknowledged the receipt ot
the lmtltlons and added that overythlnB
possible would be done to further the
project.
Congressman Connell submitted thi
proposition to the postoflicc officials,
who looked favorably upon the plan,
and it was referred to the assistant
postmaster general, with Instructions
to secure Information regarding tha
location, necessity and advisability ot
establishing a branch posjofllce In
TVcst Scranton.
The committee was advised .1 few
Inys ago by Mr. Powderly thnt the In
spector of this district had been noti
fied to visit this part of the city and
satisfy himself relative to the branch,
and asked that a committee of citi
zens be named and some data be fur
nished to substantiate the board'3
claim for recognition by the postal au
thorities at Washington. This action
a as accordingly taken at the regular
meeting of the board last Tuesday
evening and a conference was ar
ranged. At a o'clock yesteiday afternoon In
spector Gorman met a committee of
representative business men at the
Electric City Wheelmen's headquarters
and discussed the project In all its
details. Among those present were D.

The Fashion Event
Of the Opening Spring Season
"I wonder what I shall wear this spring r" How many la
dies have already asked that question this year, and how few
have been able to answer it, because the new Modes and Fabrics
for the approaching season had not been seen or determined on
by the leaders of fashion. Well, the guessing period has been
passed. All the weaves, makes and colorings to be worn during
Spring and Summer of 1900 have passed through the crucial test,
which decides selection or rejection, and today correct styles are
as well defined as they will be in the month ol June, when trade
begins to slack off, Under such favorable conditions it affords
us pleasure to announce to the Dress Goods Buyers of Northeast
ern Pennsylvania that
Our First Formal Display
Of New Dress Fabrics for 1900
Opens this week, when everybody who cares to call and-look at
the new textile creations, will be a welcome visitor. As you are
probably aware, we carry the only extensive and complete stock
in this line in this end ol the state, hence the importance of this
announcement.

ment of a branch postoffice In this sec
tion of the city and the building oper
ations contemplated this year, the sug
gestion of booming a "Greater West
Scranton" are not out of place at this
time. The vast amount of territory
opened up for building purposes within
the past few years and the extraordi
nary Inducements offered to those de
siring home sites, are excellent argu
ments In favor of such an idea.
Already many homes have been es
tablished In Tripp Park. Lincoln
Heights, Falrvlew Heights and Belle
vue Heights, and with the opening of
spring additional buildings will be
erected In all of these places and in
West Tark, Pettcbone Heights, Farr
Heights, Hound Woods Tract, Wash
burn street and the Keyser Valley.
What Is now needed to Insure the
permanent stability of West Scranton
is a few Industries, a viaduct over the
West Lackawanna avenue crossing and
more sewers. Additional paved- streets
are also needed and better Are and
police protection in the outlying dls
tricts.
