Show Daily Mail Wanted. Alti, Aug. 18, 1S74. Editors Herald: The question has been asked frequently fre-quently of lale why Alta cannot have a daily mail ? We have sufficient population, and our growing interests here demand thai wc be furnished with a mail once a day. Petition after petition hits been sent to our special mail agent by the business men of our burgh and tltose most interest, in-terest, numbering up into the hundreds hund-reds of names, and every other reasonable rea-sonable thing has been done to secure this service; yet here we are just as we have been without it and evidently evident-ly no notice taken of our wants whatever. what-ever. Wc most emphatically protest against this neglect on tho part ul somebody, to properly set our case before the department and secure what we need and aro justly entitled to. Will Col. Wiekizer rise and explain ex-plain .' Yours, Mail. We agree with our correspondent that Alta should have a daily mail. It is a thriving mining town, and has a population who require daily mail service as much as any other portion of the community. If our esteemed friend, tho special postal ;agcut4 would busy himself a little more in trying to answer the wants ' of the people, and a little lc33 in smelling out Mormon postmasters and endeavoring to replace them with suitably radical ringitcs, he j would increase his popularity to say i the least. However, we commit the I' subject of a daily mail to Alta to the proper officials hoping thr.t cur Little Cottonwood friends will be accommodated. |
