In speaking of the mail service on tho Guernsey branch service since tho recent change In tho lime card, tho Bayard Tran.icript declares that It is time tho peo ple of tho Platte valley united in a vigor ous kick as to the mail service for our peo ple. Since daily train service was taken off the Guernsey line, the mail service has been worse than in the old days of stage between Gcring and Camp Clark. There is nothing reliable about it. Tho daily papers reach hero from two to six days late. The Denver daily which should reach here the day of its publication is often a day or two behind time and there aio days when ihure is no mail from any direction. The situation could be in a measucr remedied If proper service wore inaugurated between Alliance and Denver. As it is n&w run with one clerk between Sidney and Alliance, the whole system of delivery at Bridgeport for connecting up tho valley is handicapped and can only bo improved by placing a clerk on each train and run them through to Denver. The Sidney run is almost entirely dselcss to the people of the Platte valley with its ten thousand people dependent upon the hap-hazard method now in vogue. The matter should be placed before Senator Millard and Rep resentee Kinkaid asking them to interest themselves in proper regulation of the mails for a people who nre now at the mercy of Jim Hill and an indifferent man agement by incomplete officials at head quarters of the railway mail service. Every business interest in the Platte yallcy should register a vigorous kick. Tour Hours and t8 Minutes to Sparc. Schuyler Quill.
