As the Northern Pacific railroad has
been completed beyond spoksns Falls
and to which point there are trains run
ming, why not place thereon mail serYicel
1t is one Of more importance than many
would suppose There are many new
towns along this line that are nunerously
populated and their mail facilities are no.
Of the best character st present. A daily
train leaves and arrives at the following
places between Wallulu Junction and
Spokane Fails, viz wailula Junction,
she starting point, in one sense. from
thence to South Ainsworth, which At
present, according to it's adolescence, as a
matter OF course, is not much OF town,
bat has good prospect In future. Next
comes Ainsworth proper, which is quite
town, and, an one sense, almost without
efficient mail iscilities. This is 3 place
where there are probably no. less than
two hundred men employed, saying moth
in2 about the business men snd perma-
nent residents. Their mail now is brought
from Waila Walla and at the Junction is
thrown into a passenger car where IT re-
msins till the departure of the train in
the morning. From Ainsworth We have
many small towns. stations and section
houses until you arrive at Ritzville, which
i' N Whitman county. This is small
,iii..@s as yet, but has its future, and no
,I.a.'s III make 'Lurg" Of no small
So There is much arabic land both on
the no' and south of this place The
section anjacent Ia Ritzyille is not very
thickly settled yet, but immigrants arc
continually arriving. The next place is
Harris town, which at present is in as in
fancy, but has glowing prospect in the
future. II is situated about four miles
below the foot of Big Lake and on the
direct road TO White Bluff on the Colum-
bis river. On tho north it has much
arabic land extending to the Columbia,
hut OF course there are places that would
not admit of cultivation, This section
embraces what Is known as the Grab
creek country on the north OF the road.
There arc many settlers on this creek.
They nov get their mail by fha follow
ing routes From Nalla Walla to
Walkers Prairie Via Mullsn bridge,
Wash,uckna Springs, Cow Greek Bend,
Ri.zyiile and Crab Greek to des.in-
alton. This roate IS semi weekly.
Another is from Colfax TO Crab Creek via
Sprague, twice a week, and 4 weekly
msil from Spokane Falls to Crab Creek
once a week. Ii there was service on the
railroad these people could get their mail
much sooner and vita more accuracy.
They could have daily mail from Ham.
ilton or Sprague 10 Camp Spokane or
even tri-wcekly mail, which would he
far better than all those they now have.
II nov takes about ton days 20 reach
Sprague, for instance by mai and get n
return, whereas We should otherwise get
u return in at least three days. The
country from Sprague to Cheney on both
sides Of the road is fast settling up as
well as in spokane Falls and the adjacent
country. TIE setuers all along the
route would gladly receive thi, modi6ca-
,ion in the service. We think this new
proposed service should be placed on this
route and urge that it may be consumma-
ted at very early day.
