WHY PEOPLE OF SEWARD PENINSULA
ARE ASKING FOR SETTER MAIL SERVICE
The following is an accurate state
ment of the present conditions anti has
the endorsement of the Nome Seward
Peninsula Chamber of Commerce
During the entire winter season
contracts provide for forty trips of 600
pounds weight limit each between
L'nalakleet and Nome, supplying the
entire Seward peninsula and all points
north as far as Point Barrow with
outside mall (mall from the states);1
this service aggregating 20,000 pounds
covers a period of 23 weeks, or an
average of 869 pounds a week; con
tracts for points beyond Nome call for
a total of 2600 pounds a month (Sol
omon Kotzebue 900 pounds, Nome
Taylor 900 pounds and Nome Teller
800 pounds) supplied from the above
weight limit of the Nome Unalakleet
run with outside mall, and therefore
proportionately detracting from the
amount delivered to the people of the
city of Nome; during the winter o!
1914-1915 this total amount of 20,000
pounds was carried according to the
statement of the resident railway mall
clerk with the U. S. C. O. C. Bear
leaving Seatlc on May 10, 1916, or
six weeks later than the last dispatch
over winter trail service, brought 24,608
pounds, these two amounts show that
there was deposited in postoffices
throughout the states for the winter
population of Seward peninsula a total
of 44,608 pounds during a period ol
twenty nine week*, or an average of
2638 pounds a week.
The above figures would show that
with provision made for but 869 pound*
1 a week there Is a steadily accumulating
congestion of 669 pounds a week all
winter long.
Aside from this no provision I* made
for forwarding any congestion that
may arise en route, due to unforseen
accident or stress of weather.
Five hundred pounds added to the '
weight limit ,from Cordova to ajid
' Including the Unalakleet Nome run
; will give us all our second clas* mall:
! this is what we are asking for.

for the occasion. A total of twenty1
seven entries have been received so far

tournament will do much to develop
the long dormantlnterest In this ex-1
cellent sport. Many of our best players

cause of a lack of Interest that can be
expected to dlsapear after the tourna
men. Included In the entries are such

At a meeting of the baseball asso
ciation yesterday it was decided to
discontinue the present series owing
to the general disparity of the teams
and the Fort Davis team was conced
ed the trophy for the series as It was
generally acecpted that they are en
titled to the championship of the
series. It was decided, however, to
form an all star Nome team to be
composed of the pick of the Nome
players, which will engage the soldier
champions In a series of games, prob
ably five In number, which will be
supplemnted by games played by the
Eskimo players and also by a ladles
team, If such can be formed. A com
mittee Is now at work trying to Induce
the athletic young ladles to participate
and there Is every Indication that they
wll be succeasful as many have signi
fied their willingness to play. The
games between the Nome all star team
and the fort boys will undoubtedly
prove a great attraction to the fans
as the soldiers will have a hard time
to get away with the strong aggrega
tion that can be put forward by Nome
The fort boys are classy players but
in the language of the etreet they will I
have to go some to hold their own with I
the line up that will be offered. It tal
expected that the Nome players will I
be selected today and the teams will |
practice at A B. hall tomorrow, Tues
day night. The fort will hold the floor
from 7 to 8; SO and the all stars will
have the balance of the evening.
There will be no game this week
but the new series will start during
the coming week on s day not yet
determined.
The cable continues ^Interrupted"
and the messages continue to filter In
as slow as usual today. Some of the
wires received are of vintage that Is
rapidly becoming ancient through the
long period required for their
transmission here.
The tiro department responded to the
first alarm of months today shortly
after three o'clock. The Are was lo
cated In the Fox cabin In the rear of
Howe lumber barn In the east end. The
tire was of no particular consequence
and the damage Is small A defective
flue was responsible
The malls and telegraph committee
of the Chamber of Commerce will
dispatch n second message to Delegate
Wlckersham relative to the malls
tonight. Ldke the first message It
will detail the work done so far by
the chamber and will urge him to
devote a trifle of his time to seeing
If he can't do a little to help out. The
dleagate apparently paid no attention
to the flrst message and, we are
Informed, did not ake the trouble to
reply, which accounts for the present
message.
