THERE should be an end of trifiing with
the mail contractor between here and
Bannock. Last summer he failed, and
for two weeks the people served by that
route were without mail, except as they
went to either end of the route for it,
and again this summer people were
without mail facilities three days. Tenn
porary service is now employed on the
route by the postmaster at this place,
because of the failure of the contractor,
who, we are told, has authorized some
one at Uniontown to employ service,
providing he can get it at $40 per month
The presumption is that if this cannot
be done, the contractor proposes that the
people shall do without mail.
The people served by this route feel
that they have been outraged by this
contractor, who lives somewhere in New
Jersey, long enough, and demand that
the Post-office Department shall take
summary steps to compel the fulfillment
of his contract, or shall relet it to some
one who will.

men, for instance, such as Col p Donan,
of the Fargo argus, addressed to a
