THE postmaster general has order
ed that the postofice at Woods, in the
county Of Albany, state of Wyoming,
route No. 64219. be discontinued from
August 81, 1907. You are requested
to advise this Office at once whether

renders it practicable for the carrier
to travel a shorter road than that by
way of the site of said office, and, II
SO, give the decrease in distance by
way of such shorter road. the number
Of residences on such road, and state
specifically how many boxes nov sup

continue to carry the mail over the
road now used"
Hopes to Get Reversal.

view of selecting a shorter route elm
mating the Woods ofdce, out he hopes
the people Of that community Will see
to it that enough interest is taken to
induce the department to rescind its
order of the 18th. The postmaster
hopes that some citizen will take the
place of Postmaster Pollock and see
that the office is given that attention
necessary to insure its continuance.
An immense amount Of mail goes that
way.
