to get all editions of the evening papers The train then returns leaving Eureka at 7 a m thus giving us an early and late mall through the most populous section of the country If this were established we could mail a letter from any of the cities covered by this service and get a reply the same day and better still the service is so much surer than are the through mails In conforming with the present mall system a letter mailed at Springville for Eureka is first taken to Salt Lake and on the following day sent to Eureka thus a day at least is lost This also applies to nearly all Utah
