The Star has been investigating this matter on its own account and FINDS THAT THE CITY OF TACOMA HAS A FAR BETTER MAIL SERVICE AT THE PRES- ENT TIME THAN HAS THE CITY OF SEATTLE. Both first and second class mail matter arrives in Tacoma from one to two days earlier than in Seattle. Portland also has quicker service from the East, while Spokane has no com- plaints to offer. The Star has discovered that one reason for this con- dition of affairs lies in the fact that most of the mails for |, Tacoma, Portland and Spokane, coming from the East, are | * carried by the Northern Pacific railway, while the Great ~ Northern brings most of the mails for Seattle. * The Great Northern has not given nearly as good mail service this winter as has the Northern Pacific railroad. The Star is not prepared to say that there is no dilatory ‘work at the local post-office. It believes, however, that the quarters here are utterly insufficient for the rapid handling of the mails and that the force of employees is too small. So far it has not been able to trace any lack of energy to Postmaster Stewart, but if it does, the public will assur- edly be given the facts. WHAT THE CITY WANTS, AND WANTS RIGHT AWAY, IS A MAIL SERVICE AS GOOD AS THAT OF TACOMA, PORTLAND OR SPOKANE. THE PRES. ENT SERVICE IS INEXCUSABLE.
