occasionally because it accumulates In

Cedar Rapids to Boone
Cedar Rapids, March 81. ~ Railway
mail clerks who make this city their
headquarters are up in arms over the
recent order of the postmaster gen.
eral in changing the mail system SO
that it will be necessary for them to
live at Boone.
Local business men also are much
peeved because mail for Chicago and
eastern points which used to leave
here on the Northwestern at 11:1a
o'clock now does not get out until 2:3O
the next morning. and because of con.
nections which this train must make
at Omaha with the Union Pacific, it
Is frequently very late when it
reaches this point, thereby putting the
mail into Chicago too late to be. de-
livered the same day.
About twenty-one mail clerks are
affected by the order and in the hope
that it may be rescinded none of them
will arrange to move to Boone until
1t is definitely learned that the change
Is to be permanent.
