NEW MAIL SERVICE.
Three Times A Wdek From Modena
Montgomery Contract

Because of keen competition in bid
ding, the government will supply cit
izens of Phoebe with mail service be-
tween Phoebe and Modena at small
expense, pending the rebuilding OF
the railroad and the resumption of
tIaffic thereon.
Among the bidders, were the
Phoebe Transportation company which
offered to haul the mail. round trip,
for SIS: Charles Culverwell Jr., put
in a bid OF $12 for the round trip,
afterward changing it to SO. T. ].
Montgomery bid was first, SO, but
later cut to IS; which was accept
ed by Postmaster Carman who had
been authorized to close the contract
The worst feature Of the whole
business is that until other arrange.
ments can be made, Phoebe will be
supplied only three times week

MINES WILL KEEP UP
DEVELOPMENT WORK

While some of the mines will cut
down their working forces during the
REIMBURSEMENT of the railroad sit
uation. it is the purpose Of most of
the mine owners, the Record has
been informed. to keep development
work going lust as long as fuel can
be supplied. The fact that a large
shipment of distillate was received
just before the washout, was fortu-
nate and helps to relieve most dis.
tresing situation.
Judging from the present outlook,
il will be ninety days before mines
are shipping regularly again; unless,
is decided to make the haul to Mo-
dena. But there would be no econ
my in that.
