Frisco can be reached the same
day on these mails. Elgin

a lock pouch from Chickasha on
the weat hound night train and a
letter dropped into the' Elgin of-
fice at 3 p. m. will be sent to
Chicksihaon the afternoon train
and will he returned to Cement
or Fletcher on the night train.
Cyril doeB not get a lock pouch
from Chickasha at night so
there is only one mail per day
from here to Cyril.
