On the first page of this issue will
be found a circular letter urging
towns having a population of one
thousand or more to petition con
gress for mail carrier service. Rural
districts bordering upon the lines of
incorporated towns have long en
joyed the delivery and collections of
the mails while residents ol munici
palities are compelled to go to the
postoffice— in many instances a con-
sidetable distance. This does not
seem just inasmuch as business,
professional men and others are by
fat the greater patrons of the postal
service. Will some of our enter
prising citizens take steps in aid of
the consummation of this matter as
outlined in the article referred to ?
But in order that Coquille be made
available for the service the nam
ing of the streets and the number
ing of the buildings must be accom
plished. Certainly Coquille has ar
rived at that stage where conven
iences of this character are essential,
not only to our own people, but to
strangers who are coming in great
er numbers to our fair city day by
day. A leader is all that is requir
ed and a concerted action is sure
to follow.
