Show Mail Distributed Regularly Thru the Helper Postoffice Covers a Territory of 12,000 Matter of Mail Service for Uintah Basin Being Talked-SubjeHas Local Interest S Helper ct VOLUME BASIN RESIDENTS FEEL MAIL SHOULD BE BOUT ED OVER WASATCH RANGE ON ROAD FROM SALT LAKE CITY OBJECT TO PRESEIT ROUTE, WHICH VISITS PRICE BE FORE GOING INTO BASIN iTNTAH UTAH The question of routing mail into the Uintah basin country ia now and always has been a serious matter, contends the Uintah Basin Record. The mail at present is trucked from Thistle, near Provo, over the mountains, down thru Helper and on into Price, where the government maintains elaborate storage and garage facilities. The mail for the Uintah basin country then ist'ss returned to Castle Gate, on the "outskirts of Helper anil trucked east over the mountains into the Duchesne country. This) mutter of changing tho to present route is of interest Helper as before the government garage and headquarters were established, this city was pointed out as the logical point for its erection. SAVE 75 MILES PER DAY The establishing of the government mail terminal or junction at Helper would have saved the government approximately 75 miles of mail truck travel, as it is said there are five trucks on this mail route from Thistle to Price which must return to Helper in order to ' branch off into the Uintah basin section on a daily service. The Journal believes it is now time to discuss the changing oi this mail route, because certain ones interested in effecting a change believe the government eventually will be prevailed upon to make a change in the interests of economy and for the purpose of giving the Uintah basin people the best mail service possible. While the route from Salt Lake City into the basin would possibly be more direct, it probably would be more or less undesirable to the government because of the fact that 125 miles of waste mountain country would be traversed which, would have no need of mail servicepractically uninhabited. The route from Thistle to Helper and thence over the mountains eastward into the Uintah basin country would appear the more logical if a change were to be made. This road would allow the mail service to be of benefit to many little communities and settlements along the main highway between Thistle and Helper, and 'ould eliminate present unneces- waste mileage between the nninal and Helper. 'Hirnal believes it wise, in possible changes which postal department might wish vto effect, to discuss the matter, believing Helper would do well to keep posted on the matter at all times. o o o Helper Chamber of Commerce to Meet Friday Evening o 0 Matters of Importance to Be Discussed Delegates to Be Selected for Salt Lake Meeting Many subjects of importance to Helper will come up for discussion at the meeting of the chamber of commerce which will be held in the city hall at 8 o'clock Fri day evening, to which all members 1 are asked to attend.
