FOR IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE
Chance Coop Bay to Help Itself Se
cure That Boon
(From Saturday's Dlty.)
Pottrunster Curtis has received from
0,1'. Bernard, contractor on the mail
route to Koroburg, a copy fcf a letter
acnt to the Second Assistant PostmarlT
General, making some suggestions aa to
Improvement of tho iirvlco; also a
letter to Hon. Binger Hermann, asking
his co-opcratiou in the matter. Tho
teltera are as follows:
(Lsttkhs)
Roseburg, Oreg,in, April 18, HK1.
Second Assistant Post-Master General,
ashington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
1 have just returned from Marshfleld,
Oregon, and find that the residents of
that town and vicinity ate very anxious
for a 21-hour mall- aervico throughout
the entiro year and that Marshfleld be
made the end of route No. 73357, aa it
should be.
In making the trip o Marahfield, the
last ten miles of the route ia made in a
small gasoline launch ; from Marrli field
to Kmblre the mail ia carried with a
cart or, on a taddlo horre and although
the mail delivered seldom weighs 10
pounds, I am obliged to pay f&O.OO per
month to a man for carrying this nail
six miles and return. Tho regular boat
runs between Marshfleld, North Bend,
and Empiro making two trips per day.
If Marshfleld were mado the end of the
route the mail to Empire could be "de
livered on this boat civing a twlco-a-day
mail tervice. Empiru is practically a
dead town and receives but very little
mail.
Tho County G art of Coos County and
myclf have been planking about five
mlbss o! the worst portion of the road
which enables us to make a trip in 13
minutM which formorly consumed threo
hoars at this time of the year.
If Marshfleld was mado the end of
this route and tho pay was increased
soffifienOr to justify me in going to the
expense of fixing tho road in somo of
tho worst places and purchasing extra
stock to enable me to make better timo,
I could have things so arranged by Juno
1st, 1001, as to enable me to give a 21
hour tervice throughout tho entiro year.
In making Marshfleld the'end of thia
route, I wonld also ask that wo leave
Jfarrbfiel.latiliOOa. m. a this would
enable na to make the trip over the
mountain in day light and get over tho
worst of the road and tho heavier
grades before dark. This would save a
geat deal of the risk of horses being
forced over tie grades and losing the
mail or having it dumped in the crek.
In addition it would mean a saving of 12
hours ia tho delivery of mail an we
could then deliver tho mail in Ro'ebar.;
so that It could he forwarded from here,
at 10:10 a. m. instead of ll:!5 p. m. as I
at prttent.
Trnttlnc'vou a 111 t-U-n thla mut-
ter your early consideration. I am
Very truly yours. '
