Our mail carrier has a very hard
time of it now; it takes him two days
to make the trip, as the post Office de-
partment has so altered his route that
he now goes by ingalls,, Jevne, Op-
dahl, 10 Newfoldeu, which is his start
ing point, altho the department claims
it is five miles nearer than to return
from Jevne by Ingalls,. AS there are
two or three miles in the town Of
New Maine with no road at all, the
carrier claims he was until o'clock
the second day reaching Newfolden.
We think it is all right for the depart
ment to cut down expenses, but why
not begin on the railroads and not oil
a poor man who carries the mail with
one horse. And why cut down on the
star routes and raise the rural car
riers 500, when the star route car
rier has to deliver al mail in boxes
same as the rural carrier does. But
then our carrier will not have to
stand it long as his time is out next
