We know not where the "nigger" is that is evidently hidden in the hedge fence of this affair, but trust he will be duly routed. We ask not the luxury of making Ketchum the great mail distrib uting point for the county, however practicable it would be. We have other interests that are building us up but we demand at least a timely letter mail. The question is, how can we eradicate the preseut evil and procure it? Where shall we begin? In Hailey? Possibly so. But by a just representation of our needs and a plain substantiated state ment of the condition of the Wood Riv er mail service, to the proper authori ties, we can doubtless succeed in remov ing the present abominable injustice.
