Post master Spreoher reports that the
postofllco business during thu mouth of
January was a record breaker receipts
from tho sale of stamps onvelopes
postal cards and box rents being in ox
oosb of those of any other month since
tho oillco wns established
January wns in fact a roinarkablo
business month in all respects It is
usually expected that business in Janu
ary will drop oil to almost nothing but
this January was an exception to tho
rule aud business in all lines hold up
surprisingly and wns probably a record
breaker as Januarys go in many lines
Tho reuoipts at tho postofllco for tho
month wero 112 II the next largest
month was October I8IIS when tho
total amount of business was 1 001 SO
an excess in favor of January 1 100 of
01 00
This was exclusive of tho money order
business In this department thoio
wero 517 domestic and fnunntot national
orders issued amounting to 20S 12
Tho fees on thosamo wero 2 1 Spec
ial war tax collected Thero weio
paid from tho office 201 domestic and

Tho business in tho monoy order de
partment was not a record breaker and
is soparato and not counted with tho
regular postofllco business
