Most of tin, siopn were du to wtorm.i or log and occurred he fore the first of .May, according to U. j It. Huron, post muster here. I)ur ing the winter and early spring the fog Is heavy over the Blue mountains west of here, making (ravel hy airplane difficult and it was for this reason in most cases that the mail plane landed hero and sent the mail on hy train. Airmail going cant causes little disturbance in the post office here in case it becomes necessary to send It on from here by train. West bound mail must be entirely gone over and sorted, however, and taken a considerably amount of lime according to Mr. Huron. Sit. v Jmprmliitf It Is evident, according to lihn, that the airmail service is Improv ing. In recent months airmail rarely comes into the local post office, w4iich means that more planes are completing their trips without being compelled to stop. Tin Hall hake-Boise-Pasco air mail line has an efficiency per centage of S4 for the first six months of this year. -78 of the 'A'-Si scheduled trips on the line having been completed. Twenty -six tlf the trips were incomplete and 2 were not started due to went her conditions' and darkness. A total of M7,;i4't miles were flown dur ing the first six months of the year by the mail line and --.t 1 -pounds of mail carried, with ai: airmail income of M7.H:t s.n;;. The airmail line through l.a Grande was started a little murti than u year ago. 2k : TWO-DAY SESSION .
