from Hon. Ren Simpson, Post
Office Inspector for Oregon, on
the subject of tho resum ption of
service on the P o rt Orford-New­

the people of C urrv county gen­

Newcastle particularly. Mr. S.
seemsin earnest in the m atter, and
will doubtless bring us out all right
in due time. That all may realize

letter mailed at P o rt O rford, 25
miles distant from that point, lias
to make to reach the former place.
