rates of transportation as by the river. Then
contrast the mail facilities Of the river,
with It's Irregular tri-weekly service, with
the double daily postal-car service OF the
railway lines, and 1t must be admitted that
the mail service Is not proportioned to the
Importance OF the commerce It represents.
True, the termini OF the river route are sup
piled with mails by the railway system; but
the intermediate points and the tributary
streams have about the same facilities as
would be afforded to the way stations Of Q
trunk railroad In a tri~weekly mail supplied
by the freight trains.
your petitioners, therefore, In behalf Of
their correspondents and fellow-ctizens, and
In behalf OF the growing commerce OF this
portion OF the country, most earnestly ask
for an Increase OF the mail service on the Mis-
sissippi river, so as to afford daily communi-
cation with st. Louis and New Orleans and
with intermediate points"
