Office of Superintendent, 14th Divis ion, Omaha, Nebr., Oct. 2, 1923. M. H, McCarthy, The Postmaster, O’Neill, Nebraska. My Dear Sir: For some time this office has been endeavoring to improve the mail service on the Omaha and Chadron by having a train scheduled out of Omaha about midnight. It is very pleasing to state that ef fective October 7th, the Chicago & North Western Railway Co. have ar ranged to establish train 13 leaving Omaha 12:15 a. m,, arriving Long Pine 9:25 a. m., arriving Chadron, Ne braska, 3:25 p. m. This will give u's a daylight train westbound between Long Pine and Chadron which has been desired for a long time, and also greatly expedite mails from the Omaha gateway. With this improved train service, the Department has found it practable to improve the mail service, and it is proposed, effective October 7th, to es tablish Railway Post Office service in train 13 between Omaha and Chadron, and in train 8 (formerly train 2) be tween Chadron and Omaha, Railway Post Office service will continue to be performed in trains 3 and 22 (for merly train 6) between Omaha and Chadron. We will also have Railway Post Office service in trains 11 (for merly train 1) and train 2 (formerly train 8) between Omaha and Oakdale, and closed-pouch service between Oak dale and Long Pine. This will, I am sure, be greatly appreciated- bvthe Northwestern Section of Nebraska". Very truly yours, S. A. CISLER, Superintendent.

Many towns of the size of O’Neill are now enjoying this service and O’Neill can have it if she goes after it. The new trair schedule will make free delivery moi«* desirable, because of the arrival of the mail trains during the forenoon. L. F.
