rection Of Miss Bessie Langon OF Central,

We are led to believe that the Western
express company are ever on the alert to
improve the service TO their patrons. IL
such is t. 2 case, it is in position TO ma
terially improve the Keweenaw part CT
it now. The position in which we poor,
benignted individuals are situated at
present may beimproyed, 1t takes long
er to get package from Calumet than it
does to get it from Chicago to Calumet,
and then generally at an extra cost OF 80
per cent IN stage charges. Now that We
have a reliable party with the mail con-
tract and careful men for drivers. it
seems to us that the express company
could make contract with them, so
that all express matter could come
through to the different poiats in the
county without the needless delay OF two
orthree days at Calumet. This course
could not but prove advantageous to all
concerned for the following reason ::
Fir.t, to the patrons on account OF the
better and quicker service; second, TO the
express company on account ot the ~
creased business they would enjoy be-
cause OF the bettered service; third, TO the
mail carriers as, although the rate al
lowed them under the contract would I'M
doubtedly be lower, they would get all
the express matter, whereas they now
get only asout n quarter. This matter
is well worth considering bv the express
company, as will result in a largely in
creased express business in this county.
