The past year OF two, has been urgently soil
cited and very much needed. He has, two or
three dimes within this period. paid official
visits to Boise City but he has each time
failed to visit this city and Basin-although
the distance is only about thirty-fve miles, and
the stages, have until recently ran over the
road daily. He was in Boise City last month,
and the "trip hither could have been readily
made in few hours; but the careless and
negligent Postal Agent, who seems to have a
special spite to crafty against Idaho City and
Boise Basin, did not attempt to make it. We
hope he will be speedily removed, and that an
efficient and an honest Special Postal Agent
shall be appointed to the place; one who will
not deceive this people by promises to secure
to them daily mail, and then to SO act as to
prevent them from getting anything better
than q tri-weekly mail, as Mr.. Brooks has
done. An Agent should be appointed who will
visit the most important Post Offices in Ter
ritory within his District ut least once i'll two
years, which, as we have seen, Mr.. Brooks
will not do Let us have daily mail, at oil
events.

AN IDAHO NAH. MATTER.

On several occasions during the past year we
have called attention to the great want OF a
daily mail service between this city and Boise
City, and to the several conspicuous towns of
Boise Basin, in place of the present tri-wcekly
mail, which is SO VIGOROUSLY insufficient.
Within the year at least two petitions, numer-
ously signed by the actual residents of every
camp in Boise Basin, of this and Boise cities,
and of points intermediate, have been sent on
to the Postmaster General, soliciting the need
ed increase of mail service. Meanwhile the
urgent attention of the Hon. E. d. HolbrOok,
Delegate in Congress from Idaho, has been
asked by various persons to the same matter,
and almost every means has been tried to Sc
cure the daily mail; but all in vain. Only a
tri-weekly service is accorded. With others,
we had thought our Delegate somewhat re-
sponsible for the lack of the mail accommOda-
ton experienced, and, though he is Democrat,
and we are of the same political faith, we have
not withheld from him the measure of censure
which we believed his want Of attention or eff.
fort in regard to this mail service Justly mer-
tied At last, we are pleased to be able to
state, the case has been represented to us in
such light as to absolve Mr.. Holbrook from all
blame in the premises The censure which
we have applied to him, however, rests heavily,
and, we think very justly, upon Mr. Postal
Agent Quincy A. Brooks. 1t is because of the
Misrepresentation. the culpable, very reprehen-
sible conduct of that officer, We now honestly
believe, that this most wealthy, most populous,
and most important portion of Idaho, is still
provided with an insufficient mail service. And
to show that our expression of belief is fairly
and well founded, we copy the following OFF,
cial letter of Mr.. Brooks, to the Department
