Will nj. and S. Route Change
Hands?

The rumor seems to be going
that lower bid went in, for the
carrying of the mail on the Monte
rev and Staunton route, than the
one made by the present contractor.
Mr.. James Cross. Mr.. Crosses bid
we are INFORMED, is considerably in
EXCESS of the amount he is get
ting under the1present contract. 1t
was his idea that he could safely
raise his figures since the star route
man has been. ruled ont, and it
may be that, from a source he
least expected, he has been under
bid. With the matter uncertain
as it is, we think It not ont of place
to state that, should a new man Sc
cure the contract, he will have to
give the patrons Of the line
an exceptionly good service,
if he would not have the whole
county of Highland up im'1arms
against him. Such a service has
been given. by. Mr.. Cross, year in
and year out, through zero,weather
snow, rain and mud. As true to
schedule time as the Mountain
Special" on the G. and o, we have
had our mails delivered, our freight
and express brought in and our
passengers transported. This route
is our only way out and in. 1t is
Highland countv's railroad, and let
it be badly managed, as has been
the case, and we may as we'll be
living just little bit on the other
side of Chilcout pass.
