Woodruff, Rich Ce., Utah, ; ' "Nov. 12th, 1575, One of the greatest drawbacks to this Bear River and Bear Lake re gion is the lack of postal facilities runs f'roni mail A EvaBston to Cariboo, starting from the former place cm Wednesdays and with : great regularity semi-weekl- y Saturdays, But it sometimes happens that the trains are behind time f;ho carrier, who starts at 3 p in., leaves the mail until his next trip. Li this, case the unfortunate BearXakers have to exercise their .souls, in patience, aud wait till' tha riexi arrival for letters aud papers, and coutent themselves us well us they can with news at least a week old. The careless mau ner in which the mails are handled in Evanston is frequently another pource of aunoyauce, and sometiaies of positive loss. In the hurry of sorting the A matter rolls of uews papers and important letters are left out, while those directed tof a differ tnt purt of the cjuntry are put up in the Bear Lake sick, and, instead of the latest i.sus of the Salt Lake ' and Ogden papers, and Setters requiring immediate attention, the P. M's along this route have to sort over mail matter for the East, West and the South. There is no surety that a letter mailed in Ogden on Tuesday, which should reach Paris by Thursday night, will ariive under a week or ten days; or whether communications mailed here for. Salt Lake, on arrival at the line of the railroad will -- , , go spinning along to Omaha, or lay over at Evanston for a day or two' rest. The mail carrier should bo inwait the arrival structed to of trains unless the delay is too long to permit his regular trip, houses; from Liketown, three miles westward is a. pleasant little valley, with Meadowville, Kimballiown and other "incipient "settlement; on the east side of the lake are South Eden, North Eden and Preston; while on Smith's Fork new villages are- form ing, arid the opening .up of the new coal mines is draingsettlers rapidly; and three miles west of Ovid is a flourishing town called Liberty. Saw mi ls, shingle mills, lath mills, grist mills, etc .find employment for many hands; the coal croppings aloug the route show that the country is lined with the precious fuel; indications of Huh galena are found at brief intervals in the mountains all along the true of the mail service; the co'in-trtillable is rich in pasturage, illimitable and vast land, ranges water, pure and sparkliug; fish of the finest kinds abound in lakt-- river and brooklet; then is room for thousands of honest baborers aud the atmosphere is full of health' and life. With all these advantages to settlers r the lack of mail facilities is a to intelligent persons seek ing homes, and the development attractive couutry is of; this materially obstructed by' the partial isolation from the world, which is the effect of an h frequent postal service. Ihe people should petition the Postal Department for an increase. A tri weekly uiail at least is their due, and they should note, with proofs, such acts of gross negligence, carelessness or mal gnity of which certain parties are guilty, and bring those matters to the notice of the, proper authorities; for the present irregularities are an intolerable nuisance and should not be tolerated any longer. We shall feel obliged to postmasters along the route from Evanston to Cariboo, if they will notify us of the on time, of the Junction, such data as will enable us us giving to move to some purpose, when we take a step towards rooting out the evil which eauses so much annoyance to our subscribers.
