THE kETCHUM MAILS.
Two Are Made Up Daily Here, Although
but One Is Required,

The people Of Ketchum, through
their local paper, are finding fault at
the HALEY posto!lice because of the
delay in getting their mail. The
fault does not lie with the postol}ce
here, but with the department at
Washington.
Up to about week ago, two mails
left for ketchum every day, to-wit:
One at Z o'clock in the morning, which
arrived at Vienna between 6 and
the same evening. Recently, however,
the Vienna mail was cut off, leaving
only one mail to go to ketchum, and
that is at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
But Mr.. t'uld, the HALEY postmaster,
although required to make up only
ore mail per day, invariably makes up
two, one at 9 o'clock in tie morning,
and the other at 4 o'clock in the after
noon. At 6 o'clock he usually sends
all the mail that is ready sorted, and
in the afternoon every piece of mail
matter in his possession is sent up
None is held over as it would be in
the way This latter mail should
reach ketchum by 6 o'clock in the
evening.
1t will therefore be seen that Mr..
Fuld, the HALEY postmaster, is not
only not to blame for the delay in the
ketchum mail; but that he is really
entitled to credit for at least one half
the accommodation which the peopl
Of ketchum enjoy.
