A delay of mail matter of sufficient length to delay deliveries in this city front eighteen to twenty-four hours, said to occur along the Union Pacific system, is a matter of much concern to the local postoffice authorities.

For some weeks past the mail from the east which should arrive at Salt Lake at 12 :30 p. ni. has not reached here until 5:30 p. m. and in manv instances in-stances later.

It is ; not known whether the railway mail i service or the railroads arc at fault. A 1 correction of this condition is promised ; by Postmaster Warrum following an in-, in-, vestigation. |
