Since our last issue we hav heard a good
deal OF talk about our mail service and sew
eral have expressed their opinions as to the
best course to pursue to secure better SER
vice. One of our business men made a sug-
~gestion which, il acted upon, could not fail
but bring the attention of the department
to our condition. 1t is to have a number
of blanks either written or printed which
should lea We space for the insertion, each
day, OF the time the stage arrived. when it
was due, condition OF the weather, and
whether it brought mai, or not. Also re-
marks, il any were considered necessary.
This statement to be signed by a dozen or
SO OF our well known business men and in
terested parties and forwarded each day to
} department headquarters. The constant
receipt of this by the department would
attract sufficient attention, it is thought,
to cause an examination into the case and
give US what we need and need badly. Let
this be considered by our citizens and If de-
cided upon done Immediately.
