Clifford Harding Gets Mail Contract Becomes Operator of Winner Route Clifford Harding of O’Neill was awarded the star mail contract for the route between O’Neill and Winner, S.D. His contract became effective July 1. Mr. Harding’s contract calls for mail pickup at the railroad sta tion in O’Neill at 6:30 a.m. every day including Sundays and holi days. He “drops” mail at inter mediate points and returns to O’ Neill the same evening making additional “pickups” and “drops.” The return schedule requires making connections with the east bound mainline Chicago & North Western passenger-mail train which leaves O’Neill at 12:20 a.m. John Turner of the O'Neill Transfer previously held the contract. When the star service was inaugurated last fall fol lowing the discontinuance of a mail train on the Norfolk-to Winner branch of the North Western, the initial star con tract went to Don Martin of O'Neill.
