Other Changes In Highland .TlaiI
Service.

Now that the Monterey-Durbil
mail route is established there are
other changes in the Highland mai
service that we think would natur.
ally follow.
The ring mail could be discon-
tinued and to supply the service
rendered by it an arrangement
something like the following could
be made: Let the Jacksons River
mail come directly to Monterey, ex-
tend the Back Creek route to High
town and let the territory from
Monterey, by way of Strait Creek
Forks of Water and Crabbottom,
to HightoWn, be supplied by a
rural free delivery route.
This arrangement, or something
similar to it that might be suggest
ed, would not only supply the SER
vice now given by the present ring
route, but would. in addition. give
to the territory extending from
Monterey to Forks of Water, dis
lance of seyen miles. mail facilities,
from which it has been wholly de-
prived for number of years. This
Strait Creek country would, no
doubt, have been covered by mail
route. but for the fact there is no
suitably located family who could
take the postoffice, but our propo-
sition of an r. F. D. route would
completely overcome this obstacle.
The above, in brief, is an explana'
tion of the situation. from which
it can be gathered that our claim
for an r. F. D. route is proper
proposition.
We Highlanders are most med
est. We want but little and on
account Of our modesty ask for
less. But, now, Tat we want
something badly, and as our wants
are so few, we believe our honored
representatives at Washington will
give us a helping hand, and see
that we are granted this single,
simple request by Uncle Sam, so
that we may know, really and
truly. that we are part. il ever so
small, CT his great domain.
