EDITOR OF LESLIE’S WEEKLY
TELLS EXPERIENCE
Finds Out Some Of Government
Shortcomings
BilaH B—
The inefficiency and extravagant
cost of government ownership of
public utilities was revealed to me
on the trip. The United Staes gov
ernment controls the Alaska cable.
I sent a ten-word message—or tried
to send it—from Ketchikan to
Seattle. The rate was nineteen
cents a word for a distance of 600
miles. I paid $1.90 and one cent
tax on a government line message.
When I got to Seattle, three days
later, the message had not arrived
and I took no little satisfaction in
sending a 50-word night message
by the Western Union from Seat
tle to New York, a distance of 3,
200 miles for $1. (one cent for tax
added) and finding that this was
delivered within a few hours.
It isn’t pleasant to read that
while our Canadian neighbors in
the Yukon territory at Dawson re
ceived their mail at all times
summer and winter, the United
States government only gives an
unlimited mail service in the In
terior in June, July, August and
September. After the rivers freeze
the mail is sent overland from the
st in horse-drawn stages, some
‘ mes arriving only twice a week
It is possible for them to bring all
’ o rmii, but the government holds
over the second classmatter for
interior of Aalaska, and many tons
of it arrive, not when they are
needed in the long winter months,
but in the busy mining season of
summer when the people have little
time to read. This means a di
rect loss to subscribers. These
facts have been strongly empha
sized by the commercial club of
Fairbanks, Alaska, and protoests
have been sent to the Postmaster
General at Washington which we
trust will have effect in giving
Fairbanks and other interior cities
of Alaska as good a winter
service at least as Canada gives to
its principal Yukon city, Dawson.
THE RUSH TO ALASKA BEGINS
The pilgrimage to Alaska has be
gun. It seems a long way from
home, but it is far nearer in time
than the Golden State was to the
farmers of Pennsylvania and Ohio
who in“ prarie schooners’ traveled
the lonely Santa Fe by night and
fought ’the Indians by day. The
winners of the West have had their
day. The last government terri
torial possesion of the United States
is waiting to be won in Alaska. Let
Uncle Sam wake up, cut the red
tape that has bound Alaska, give
the Territory things it needs in the
way of coast protection, good roads
and all-year-round mails. Then
will Alaska change and modify the
ringing rhyme of Pat O’Connor, who,
in his ode to Uncle Sam, sings:
We’re used to meeting troubles
And, if you put us to the test,
You’ll find Alaska loves you, Sam,
Far better than the rest.
But, Sam, When this is over,
As morning follows night,
Pray give us your attention
And set some matters right.
We need some decent cable rates
We need some decent mails.
We need some decent coast lights
And we need some decent trails.
You’ve given these to all the rest,
But we don’t care a -,
If its full grown men you’re
needin’
We’re with you Uncle Sam.

THE RED SHIRT OF ITALY
The red shirt of Italy, made fam
ous by the liberator Garibaldi, was
not adopted for any fantastic or
spectacular reason. The English
Admiral Ingram says that the red
shirt had its origin in stem necessi
ty and that its adoption was caused
by the need of clothing as economic
ally as possible the legion that Gar
ibaldi had raised for the liberation
