CoNrNuks rooR.-The mail service at
Yaquina bay is evidently as bad as ever
Judging from the following iroa tho Ga
zette:
Tie people Of Newport are suffering
great incOnyeni nee from the inciiiciency
OF the mail service between that city and
laquina City over which route almost
all their mail IN carried. 4 nonresident
secured the contract for carrying the
mails between the places named nj 4
figure much below what IL IL actually
worth. The result ia that the work was
poorly performed from the beginning,
and recently the contractor failed 10 pro-
vide any means Tor the transit OF mails,
since which time postmaster A. II.
Hampton has performed the service az
best hr could. II now appears that the
master ot the steamer J. II. Richardson
offers to carry the mail on schedule time
for 5000 per year.
