"
William H. Taylor, Chief Clerk of
the 9th Division of the Railway Mail
Service with headquarters at Ogden,
Utah. was an arrival by Wednesdays
train and has since been busy inter-
viewing our business men and citi-
zens.
Mr.. Taylor has made it plain to all
that he has been ordered here by the
the Postal Department to make a re-
port on general conditions and to as
sist the people of Eureka and those
receiving mail from and through this
office to a satisfactory mail service
from the main line. He is doubtful
of our obtaining a six-day service by
stage at this time. but says there
would be no question of even a daily
service if the local railway would
haul the mail that often on the regu-
lar terms paid railways for a like
service. =
He has inquired into the feasibili-
ty of bringing the mail into Eureka
from the main line from Elko. or
through Ely or Austin. Service
from either of the two latter points
would not do at all during the Win
ter months. and considerable diff
Guilty would often be experienced in
Winter in coming from EIko through
Railroad canyon, and we believe he
was generally informed that our
best route by stage would be through
Pine and Diamond valleys from Pail
SADIE. which route would serve the
people living in those valleys and also
those of Union and Mineral Hill.
Mr.. Taylor has suggested that if
our people will take action through
the State Railway Commission, or
otherwise, to secure a definite sched-
ule from the local railway as to the
regular trains it would operate each
week or month. he would recommend
that the Postal Department have
stages cover the remainder of the
service; but it must be written in the
bond that the stages would not OPP
crate or carry mail on regular train
days; likewise the railway would
be given mail only on its regu-
lar tyain schedule.
While at ?alisade on his way to
Eureka. Mr.. Taylor met General
Manager Sexton of the local railway
and the latter offered to enter into
an arrangement that would permit
the Postal Department, or any one
else, to use the rails of his company
for carrying the mails to Eureka for
a consideration of SIS for each round
trip.
The above proposition and other
matters in connection with the bet
terment of the mail service into Eu-
reka were under discussion Thursday
evening by members of the County
Council before the regular meeting
was called to order, and this was
