No definite action looking toward
a change in the betterment of the
present unsatisfactory mail service
from Palisade to Eureka has so far
been taken, but an investigation of
the matter is now being made by a
representative of the Postal Depart
ment, and early relief and a salts
factory solutionof our present trouble
is hoped for.
The following telegram, in answer
to one sent Senator Henderson on
February Z by county officials and
business men. was received here last
Saturday evening after the SENTINEL
had been printed:
Washington, D. c., Feb 8.
Yours of February 7th. since re-
ceipt of your message of January 20,
which was duly acknowledged by me,
have had matter up with Postmaster
General with view to relief Of Eureka.
Understood special inspector would
be there not later than this week,
but find to-day he cannot arrive I'M
til first of next. He will go over sit
uation with view to early relief of
Eureka; will do all possible to reach
satisfactory solution, but Post Office
Department will not act until report
of special Inspector is received here.

but find to-day he cannot arrive un-
til first of next. He will go over sit
uation with view to early relief of

C. B. HENDERSON.
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 wen 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 Elko 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 it
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 op-
crate or carry mail on regular train
days; likewise the railway would
be given mail only on its regu-
lar train schedule.
While at Palisade 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
torment 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
followed yesterday by further dis

Grand Jury Sends
For Witnesses tn
Be Heard Monday
Foreman Almirall Confers
With Representative of In
dictment Bureau; CASTOR
b. Means To Be Examined

Hope that the extraordinary grand
jury might conclude it's work to-mor-
row, make a public report and reveal
the "overshadowing crime" it has spent
several weeks investigating was dis
PEELED yesterday when it was found
that another list of witnesses has been
summoned.
Because papers vital to the inves-
tigation tomorrow will have to do with
tbe operation of the District Attor-
ney's office it is expected that Assist
ant District Attorney James F. Smith
Will be excluded from the jury room.
The witnesses called Tor tomorrow.
1t was learned, include Misses Theresa
and Hattie Grant, nieces of David
Hirshfeld, Commissioner Of Accounts,
and Gaston b. Means. who has conduct
ed a two years investigation of the
ofhce OF the District Attorney. Assist
ant District Attorney John T. Doolinp.
who prosecuted Means on a charge Of
numbering Mrs. Maude King. with the
result that Means was acquitted, was
by Means.
The nieces of Commissioner Hirsh-
heid Will be examined concerning a
trip upstate, in which the Commits
sioner is said to have used CITY
automobile. Mr.. Hirshfeld, in two
statements issued since he was sum
moned before the jurors, said the trip
was solely on business and that the
city funds did not pay for it. Yester-
day he denounced the insistence of the
Jurors that his nieces be examined.
They failed to respond to subpnnas
issued early last week.
1t was said yesterday the jury still
has numerous witnesses to be heard
this week. One more week may be
consumed in the questioning of city
employees concerning facts revealed
through study of official papers sub
p9naed by the jurors.
The conference of Raymond F. Almi-
raN, foreman of the grand jury, with
a representative of the Indictment bu-
reau indicated that indictments might
be returned tomorrow. While the
srmmoning of witnesses indicated that
this probably will not be done, sup
elemental report with true bills
against men in any case that may
have been closed by the jurors, would
not surprise those familiar with the
work Of the body.
