mail facilities for the Southwest, when right
in the face of the dispatches we have one of
the most important routes in this section of the
country discontinued. 1t is high time some
thing shoukfSbe DOM towards establishing.
mail routes in this part of the State that will
meet the demands OF the public. Eurek;,
should have tri-weekly mail from here, and
all the cOuHtry south and southwest of Empo-

week. We hope arrangements will be made
by the post Otiiee7 departmeHt to, supply this
