THE MAIL MIDDLE.

We learn that the controversy over
the mails between Contractor Starr and
Postmaster Burr, has eliminated IN the
Olympic Tacoma service BY Steamboat
being dropped altogether by the Post
Office Department. All letters nov
addressed to Olympia will 20 to Taco
ma, thence to Tenino, where they will
leave the railroad and 90 by stage to
Olympus. So It will be seen that
Olympia lsses by this unnecessary
squsbble her mail communication with
Steilscocm and Tacoms. It is too bad,
yet it is NO fault OF ours.
In . conversation with Congressman
Luttrell about the mail frauds in Cali
fornis and Southern Oregon. two years
ago, that gentleman said that ut

but they got away with the business 70,
all that. The only effect it had was to
cause the removal from Office Of the
postmssters who caused me to direct the
attention Of Congress to these abuses
And rather than ser good .ner

duty, have concluded to pay nc

So we will sec what future results ct
tend this case. We believe that Mr.
Burr Is by oil odds the choice of tn,
Olympia people for postmaster. as b,
has proven himself very efficient and
obliging in times past. His course In
this quarrel with Capt. Starr does moi
meet our approval, and we have no,
hesitatsd to speak Of it more plainly
than any other Sound paper. We have
always given him credit for what good
he has done and, surely the right to ap.
