Most of tin, siopn were du to

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

the trips were incomplete and 2

of M7,;i4't miles were flown dur
