Santa Fe Daily New Mexican

FIXED IT PROMPTLY.

The New Mexican's Suggestions for Improving the Mail Service Bring Good Results

All the hardships and inconveniences which the people of New Mexico have experienced of late respecting mail facilities will soon be ended, and it looks now as if this territory will soon be able to boast a mail service second to none in the country. When the local mail service was sacrificed a few weeks ago to improve the through service from the east the New Mexican promptly presented the facts to the postal authorities and urged that, while the quick service from points east of the Missouri river was in itself very desirable, yet some arrangement should be made whereby this new service should continue and the local service be also improved.

Orders for this improvement came to hand to Postmaster Weltmer to-day, and beginning to-morrow all trains leaving and arriving in Santa Fe will carry the mails.

The mail service for the south is especially advantageous under this new arrangement, except that instead of the 8:20 p. m. train carrying a pouch for "Wallace and Albuquerque" it should be "Cerrillos and Albuquerque," and this change will be recommended by Postmaster Weltmer. The train leaving here at 8:20 p. m. will take the local mail south to Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Deming, El Paso and all intermediate points and also out on the A. & P. road, and the local mails for the north will go out at 5:55 a. m., while the train leaving at 1:10 in the afternoon will take mail both north and south. The New Mexican is gratified over the promptness with which the postmaster general has remedied this matter and can assure him that the people of New Mexico generally appreciate it.
