P. Gets Improved Service Sault Ste. Marie Improved mail service between the Bault and other Upper Peninsula cities effective November 1 with a bus carrying mail from the Sault to Ste. Ignace, was announced today by Mary A. Ripley, postmaster.

The bus route to the Straits is part of a system of increased frequency of service to meet the problem resulting from the discontinuance of the two Sault Ste. Marie and Minneapolis trains. Mrs. Ripley said that the closing time for the mail in the Sault post office will be 8 a. m.

and that the bus will leave here at 8:30. The mail then will reach Newberry, Marquette and other points cut off in the discontinuance of the trains. Reporting that establishment of through star route service between Trout Lake railroad station Escanaba, a distance of 635 miles, would entail prohibitive costs, said it was believed the alternate arrangement would "afford satisfactory at an expense that appeared lustified. Under the plan, the frequency of service from Newberry to Engadine railroad station has been increased to 12 times weekly from June 15 to Sept. 15 of each year.

Another star route from Mani- stlque to Steuben was extended to Shlngleton and the frequency of this and the St. Ignace to Sault Ste.
