Postal Matters kalama Bea-
con says that Postal Agents Hard and
Underwood have represented to the
Department that the mail facilities on
Puget Sound will be materially i'm
proved by changing the distributing Of
fee from this place to Tacoma. 1t ap-
pears that these gentlemen are in full
sympathy with the land ring, and are
determined to aid to the extent of their
official ability the shattered fortunes of
ihe men who have determined to ruin
Olympia that their pet Tacoma may
live. Our people will realize, before
long, the benefit of having a live man
at the National Capitol to prevent such
nefarious deeds. We trust that Judge
McFadden will give the subject his i'm
mediate attention.
