that it is the aim of the department
to give the best service possible to
all parts of the country, and that all
irregularities would be carefully in
vestigated. He had a fair illustra-

with the Central Pacific, which is
trying to make faster time than it is
capable of performing regularly, and |
that, unless they improve soon, fine
