The Mail Facilities.

During the late severe spell of weather,
the people of this place have been led in
more than usual degree to feel the want of
efficient mail facilities between this and the
lower country. One mail a week is what
may justly be denominated very slow
COACH and yet this is all the contract of
the Post Office Department calls for. Mail
service once a week between this place and
the Dalles was frequent enough, perhaps,
in earlier times but at the present tri-
weekly coach service, at least, is most earn
estly demanded, and we shall be greatly
disappointed in our anticipations of the ln-
crease Of business Ill tLis line, if daily mail
is not needed to meet the public demand
before the close of the coming fall We
have no doubt the contractors have been
quite as punctual in the delivery of the
mails as the government has been in paying
for the service. There is an evident ten
dency on the part of the government to de-
crease rather than increase our mail facili-
ties, which is evinced in the fact of the dis
continuance of the service to Colville To
whom we are indebted for this retrograde
in postal affairs, at time when the demands
Of the country are rapidly increasing, wiser
politicians may be able to discern. 1t is
possible that our present delegate in con-
.gress don't like the people of Colville, and
that he has been indulging in a bit of retail
iation.
We are Of opinion that petition, setting
forth the facts connected with the mail ser
vice at this place, and the grounds for the
establishment of tri-weekly line of coaches,
containing the signatures of citizens, and
sent forward to the department, would be
influential in effecting the desired change.
Such petition should be forwarded imme-
diately, in order to reach Washington by
the first Of March next, at which time the
annual proposals for contracts are issued.
The service required by the department is
stipulated in the. proposals, and the CON
tracts are let in the month of July.
