^viuences 01 pupncity 011 tile part
ot postal oniciais with respect to
tne conuuct 01 tn° winter mail
service to interior AiasKa come3
to ngnt in tne lottowing com
mumcation, written by F. \\
Vame, superintendent of the
railway mail service in Alaska,
to tne superintendent of the rail
way man service in New V ork
city, ana pubnsned in the Ruby
wecoru citizen on A lay 23. Be~
ioie suomitting this interesting
document, however, we will
state tliat that is was written in
answer to a complaint made by
the New York bun to the super
tendant of the mail service at
New York that a subscriber of
the Sun, one bam J. Callahan of
Ruby, had not received a single
copy of that paper up to Febru
ary 14 of the present vear. A
copy of the letter of Mr. Calla
hail and also of the letter writ
ten by Mr. Vaille, are. according
to the Record, on file
in the office of that paper. W*
will further add that the Record
is one of the most reliable pub
lications in the territory and the
evidence presented may be con
sidered accurate in every way.
Mr. Vaille says:
Seattle, Wash , March 27.
Superintendent R. M. S., New
York, N. Y.
Returning your reference of
March 21 in re complaint of
Sam J. Callahan of Ruby, Alas
ka, of failure to receive copy of
the New York Evening Sun
During the six weeks at the be
ginning of the winter season,
from October first to November
23, only 1,600 pounds a week
can be dispatched into the in
terior of Alaska from Cordova
on account of bad trails. On
account of this fact there accum
ulated at Cordova a large
amount of second class single
wrapped newspapers, amounting
altogether to 11,801 pounds at
the close of the week ending Nov
vember 27.
This began the period of win
ter service where 4,800 pounds
a week are dispatched, and the
surplus was gradually eliminat
ated, it being the intention to
forward the mail in the chronolo
gical order of receipt. On De
• ember 4 ti.ere wure 930 pounds
of tin.-, s1 g e wrapped ma-.:e. ;
December 25, 6,406 pounds;
January 15, 3,158 pounds; Feb
ruary 4, 2,590; February 12, 2,
502 pounds—this included all
single wrapped newspaper on
hand for all interior Alaska
points, and it is thought that all
single wrapped newspapers for
Ruby reaching Cordova by
March 1 will be forwarded over
the winter route via Fairbanks,
with the probability that a large
proportion of the single wrapped
mail after that date will have
be held for the opening of navi
gation.
K. W. \ Ail .LK,
Superintendent.
A will be noted, tln> letter
makes very detimte statements
respecting the quantities of mail
accumulated at the Cordova ml
of the line up to February 1*
Among other things it points
out that there was an accumula
ation of 11,801 pounds of second
class matter between October 1
and November 27, 1915.
accumulation is explained by tin
statement that the mail limit of
1,600 pounds precluded it being
relieved until the trails w're in
proper condition to carry
larger amounts V ell and go m
VV c will let that pa-.' withou
further comment although we
have very distinct rcc. . ,ev
of hearing certain official ci...
that there was any accumulation
whatsoever at that time
statement of Mr. Vaille also says
that on November 27 com: ien.
thc period of wint'r - -rvici w
the weight limit was raised from
1,(>oo pounds to 4,800 pounds per
week. From this we w<.u,d
due0 that after November 27
there would be a gradual lessen
ing or the quantity >f accu
lated matter until finally then
would be non*' at all. However
we find that the total ac
tion during the period from No
vember 27 to February 12. win. 1
thB trais were presumably
in good condition and t
limit allowed the carriage ■ 1
three times as much mail as was
carried prior to No1 27.
was even greater than hiring
thc period between Oct. 1 ami
Nov. 27. Mr. Valle's stalenn
shows that the aggregate accu
illation was 15,586 pounds dur
ing the period wlr'ii there \s a
supposed to he little or no ac
cumulation. At no time after
Dec. 4 was there les> than 930
pounds eaf unforwar.pd nail
Cordova at the end of eacli we ■<
up to February 12 DecemSei
25 there was 640(1 pounds, Jan
■5* 3.158 pounds, F®b. 4 2,su
and 2,502 pounds on Feb. 12th
Each and every week during
the period between Nov. 27 and
Eeb. 12, th®re was an .average .n
cumulation of over 1 />00 pounds
at Cordova, according to Mr.
Vaille’s own statement- No.
read again this now hist. -r.. i >c
ument on file in the archives of
the Chamber of Commerce, 1
copy of a cable message tr
Mr. \ aide to tile Chamber of
Commerce dated Jan. 16. trails
mitted to th® local commercial
body by the resident mail clerk
“Advise .Chamber of < 'ommerct
no congestio,, of Norn, Seward
Peninsula mail known at tin
office- This is answer to their
telegrams of 13 and 25th insts "
Now, we admit that this state
ment on its fac®, is entirely non
commitical. If there was any
accumulation of nub! it C - V i
or anywhere else, Mr. Vaille says
lie did not know anything about
it. “No congestion of mail
known at this office" n®ither de
nies or affirms that there was
any accumulation. Tin iness .g*
was written, however, in answer
to messages asking if there was
any congestion and stat;
long due mail had not arrived and
is plainly intended to lead thc
inquirer to believe that th®re was
n (umulation. Q}hsidefing
i tat Mr. \ aille is tile head of the
ail .-ervici in Aaska and is,
. i < km. , presumed to know
, is going oil under his juris -
,.i iiuii, uie U'legiam amounts to
, iae.i d inal that here was any
;• imulalipn at that time. Vet
.Mi. Vaille latei auunts to otlwr
(■v.'-'ia, authorities that there was
aceuinulatiou all the tune
i i ictober i to February 12
alsu admits that h** knew
a; there was an accumulation
; ,ul times and also that such
,i ■. umulation was more or less
e peCted.
t. further admits that there
w..> over ;t ton and a half of ar
e mlate i mail at Cordov'a on
dav Ins telegram was written
thing the peopF of Nome to
in it i that there was no accum
i alum whatever. Now, if Mr.
