s0yris SUPERIOR PROTESTS.

When postmaster Rice slipped off to
Washington recently to work the little
poStot;ice scheme concoctod by the
Land & River Improvement company,
he took with him written statement
to the effect that the city was a unit
in asking for the consolidation, even
to the people of South and East Ends,
the places which We're to loose their
offices and become actual sufferers for
the sole benefit of West Superior in
general, and the aforesaid land compa
ny i'll particular. This false document
Mr.. Rice was to present to the postal
official as evidence that what he asked
for was simply just what all tile people
i'll all parts of the city wanted
This utter disregard for truth and
honesty as relating to the East End,
was fully set forth in the TIMES last
week in It's report Of the Indignation
meeting held last week. About the
same time the people Of South Superior
held IN indignation meeting, anG III
reporting it the South Superior sun
says:
\ large Grove: OF our citizens as
semhl,d III the y. .. wv hall Thurs
elav evening 20 take aCtiUa against the
proposed consolidation Of The three
rostolices of the city.
The meeting WAS called to order by
I. T. Hunter and W ii. Denham 81
ected chairman, and L. Z. Hunter,
secretary.
H. H. McIntlre was the first speaker
and in Il well worieu speech gave his
views III the matter. lie said the mat
ter WAS an undetermined trick, the peo
pie If the West End claiming that it
was not for their benefit that the con
solldation was wanted but for South
and East Superior. That they wanted
to shower the blessings down on us
without our knowledge or consent, a
queer way to do favOrS. He thought
it would be detrimental to the best
. interests of South Superior. that the
mail service would be Tar from rs Ell
| licient as it is nov. lie thought 1t
would be a great harm to the factories
and industries here, and believed that
decided steps should be taken to show
that the citizens here We're bitterly OPP
posed to losing their rostotlice.
W. II. Denham gave his views and
showed by facts and figures that South
! superior WoGli not ami could not pos
slp,s have is good mail service under
the proposed plan as at present. lie
said that the Improvement company,
! when doing business 1T tie 81 End
! always had Il pCstotiire box ana went
! to The foat0tiice for their inail as it was
! nore satisfactory than having II de
| liTcred 10y Carriers. And II such Vas
| the case there what would be the re-
! salt OF the carrier system so far from
| the central office as South superior is,
| where We could net EXPECT more than
| one or at the most two deliveries u
day, and the mail passing through here
! on dn afternoon train would get to
| West Superior too late to be dlstrlbu-
! ted and sent down here the same day,
! 50 that it would be along towards noon
/ the next day before we got the mail
| W! CT now we get some time before
! they do at the v est End.
7. i. Hunter spoke on the subject
| from a business standpoint and III clear
! and decided terms proved why 1t would
| be very I'M ;riOuS to the best interests
of South Superior to have the consoli
! dation Of the poStotiicas.
