ing off of the mail car on the trains
Nos. 45 and 46 the people of Weston
and vicinity are greatly inconven-
fenced in their receipt of their papers,
the East Oregonian, as we'll as other
daily papers. All of the daily papers
will be one day late owing to this
change and if it is intended to be per-
manent by the department the pat
rons should enter a protest. There
are two rural routes out of the post
office at Weston and the weeklies will
also be served to the patrons of these
routes one day later: for instance the
East Oregonian's semi-wekly which
under the former system reached the
Weston office on the evening of the
same day of issue, while under the
change of schedules. it will not reach
the postoffice until the morning fol-
lowing its issue, and as the rural car
riers leave to serve their routes be-
fore the morning train arrives, will
not be able to deliver the paper until
the following day, making the deliv-
cry two days after its issue. The
same conditions will prevail with all
other papers. Trains Nos. 6 and
pass through Weston at midnight and
very early in the morning and all of
the mail is carried by, neither taking
nor leaving any mail. 1t is hoped
that some steps will be taken to bet
ter this condition. The spirit of the
times is progressive and not retro
gressive. the latter is the condition
prevailing under the new schedules.
