No eastern mail Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday or Monday; Tuesday
quite an installment arrived, and on
Wednesday the clerks in the Meeker
postohice were given an opportunity to
catch up much to the qualification of
Postmaster JoHantgen, Assistant Kelly
and the public generally.
Yesterday morning a rain and snow
storm, of proportions enough to make
the roads quite muddy, visited this sec
ton. Last night it cleared up, and this
morning all tender garden vegetables
look very sick-in other words we had
n killing frost, and ice formed to a
thickness of half an inch in some places.
In few weeks, namely July 1st,
many of the star mail routes will
change hands, that is so far as con-
tractors are concerned. Clarence Saw
yer will succeed Jimmy VanCleef on
the Rangely route, George Thayer will
give way to a Pueblo party who has
underlet the Buford contract to f. Gill
lev. while the Rifle -MeekerA Axial line
will likely be continued by Simp Harp.
Many of our readers doubtless noticed
scantiness of paper in last weeks is
sue or had an inside with rather stale
news, and no apology was offered for
such an apparent carelessness. 1t can
be told in few words: The ready
prints were stranded between New
York and Chicago for several days, and
high water, low water, or no water at
all, THE HERALD had to be gotten out
on time at all hazards,
The Western Slope Congress con-
vened at Glenwood on Wednesday, and
doubtless concluded their labors yester-
day. \ dispatch from there last even
ing states that"a representative delega-
tion is on hand from Rio Blanco county
who will endeavor to get resolution
passed in favor of the reduction of the
boundaries of the White River reserva-
