The Postofflce in Spokane Is pro posed, shall be closed on Sundays. Walter P. Edrls. postmaster, said this morning that he had decided to recom mend to the department at Wash.ng ton that the office be closed on Sun days, and it is believed that such a recommendation will be acted upon favorably. A petition for Sunday clos ing bearing 23H7 names waa received this morning by Mr. Edrls and will be forwarded to Washington, accompany ing his recommendation. The closing of the postofflce means that there will be no general delivery of mail on Sun days, and that special arrangements, probably that of paying a special de livery fee. will be necessary to get a letter delivered. It is probable that part of the gen eral delivery department will be kept open for the benefit of the transient of Spokane.

BIG HOLE IN WALL MADE Cracksmen Overlook $500 In Stamps and Safe of Concern Amount of Loot Unknown Mark of Bi cycle Shoe Only Trace. WASCO. Or., March 27. (Special) An imprint of a bicycle shoe 11 1 Inches long Is the only clew to the cracksmen who drilled through the large vault of the Wasco Warehouse Milling Company, bankers, last night and fled with an unknown amount of coin taken from safety deposit boxes. None of the bank's money was touched and stamps worth $500 were not mo lested, although Postmaster Tate lost all his personal funds In a safety de posit box. The robbery was discovered this morning when the bank was opened for the day's business. The cracks men had drilled a hole In the ma sonry large enough for a man to en ter and safety deposit boxes,, broken, were strewn about - the place. F. R Fortner, cashier, was robbed of a col lection of colns.N all small In value, kept by him on account of their early date's. Postmaster Tate refuses to tell the amount of his loss. In addition to the footprint clew, two strangers were seen leaving Wasco this morning and evldentftf headed for Biggs. Sheriff Freeman to Intercept them went to ftvfus by automobile, thence by train to Biggs and walked toward Wasco without seeing any trace of the men.

Beer, who discovered the rob bery upon opening the bank, found a chisel and a few punches on the floor, but it Is believed these will be of no value in tracing the robbers. As the safe in which the bank's deposits were stored was not touched it is believed amateurs committed the robbery. STREET TAX IS ILLEGAL Property Owners Liable for Taking Money for Vehicle Space.
