Herman Ullrich has the contract
for the new mail route from New
Salem to Center and return. daily.
The change of route takes place on
April LIST. Heretofore the Center and
Yucca people have been getting their
mail via Mandan and since the STAN
ton and Mercer county mail wis dis
tributed from Mandan via the North
branch instead of New Salem stage
routes, the Center people have had
very poor mail service. Both Center

from here and we r sure they will
welcome the change, for the New
Salem postal service is very efficient
and will give them the best treat
ment at their command.
