OUR DELAYED MAIL SERVICE
Suggestions Made In a Commu-
nication Looking to Better
ment of Service

EDITOR SENTINEL: l decidedly agree
with the SENTINEL OF last week that
the present mail service to Eureka is
not giving satisfaction. But the 4
shall take the liberty of doing so.
1t is. that the business men and citi.
zsns generally of this community unite
in a petition to the Post Office Depart
ment at Washington for a change of
schedule. The petition should show
that for the two months prior TO the
service by anto and following the food,
we had a service Of bat twice a week,
and worse still, that the trip from Pail.
SADIE took between 80 aud 40 hours TO
make. The auto gave us a tri-w,ekly
service, taking but SIX hours to reach
its destination, thus enabling cores
pondencs TO catch this East and West
BOUND trains at Palisace, and saving
days in the transmission OF mail mat err.
Ii seems the auto was dong MS too UGH
~justice. aud, presto. IL went out Of conn.,
mission. What knocked on the auto
service is a matter OF conjecture. Psli-
SADIE is but 81 miles from Eureka, yet it
takes the unprecedented time of 33 or
"a hour to make the distance up or
down.
OF all other departments Of the
Government The Post Office is and
should be a public Office. a public
agency for the benefit OF all. IL belongs
to the public aud not any one indi.
vidual. 1t should be operated for the
benefit of all. 1t should be
ed with any other business or calling
1t should not be the office of any party,
but should be the agent of all parties.
IL should be exclusively devoted to the
purposes for which it was organized and
intended, that is, the transportation and
distribution of correspondence and mail
matter generally; the issuing and
payment of money orders, etc., and all
of this with reasonable expedition and
accuracy of detail.
To the merchants especially is the
post Office an institution Of vast i'm
portance. The ~remedying of the pres.
| ent evil should not be left to any one
man. This town especially has been
unfairly dealt with for many months
past in the matter of mail service.
In my opinion. therefore, our citizens
should make known their grievance at
once, and to the department at WASH
ingtcn. We should also call the atten-
ton of our representatives in Congress
to the evils complained of. and We
should include all of u representa-
tives-and not one merely.
Let us act.
