SOMEBODY FALSIFIED.
“When we invest igal.ed we1
found that only llyoe mails per
month reached Cordova from Se
attle,” so said the News-Miner
Jn its editorial of Wednesday ev
ening trying to ridicule the plea
in our last issue that something
lie done toward bettering our mail
service for next winter.
The News-Miner obtained their |
.information from the Orr Stage ,
Co., so they state. Well, the
statement of (he Citizen a week
ago was no April fool joke, as
suggested, but. straight facts, and
the News-Miner is deeply in er
ror in regard to I he matter, or
their informant is, for we say
there are more than three mails
a month to Cordova, for the
Sampson and the Yukon carry all
mail that has accumulated at Se
attle from the time of the de
parture of the Northwestern, the
Mariposa or the Alameda, until
the time of the departure of these
independent boats.
We have been accused of un
fairness for wanting to better a
mail service that, to use a slangy
but expressive word, has been
“rotten” for the last six months.
The News-Miner states that
immediately upon the arrival of a
■boat at Cordova lirst-class mail
is forwarded right, through with- j
out delay. We are a long way j
from Cordova and might he in- i
diired to believe that story it it j
had iml happened that many per- i
sons, reluming al various inter-j
vats from the stales, were held up j
at the sea coast town anywhere j
from one to eight days. This was j
iml during I lie I ie-lip iif >i\ weeks, i
for which there is no excuse nf
fered. bill since and even as late j
as throe weeks ago. Can tin* I
News-Miner nr Ihe Orr Singe Co. |
or anybody else deny Mint fact?
When last week we I rierl In urge '
the people In lake up Ihe mail
quest ion with I lie hope of liel ter-j
ing our condition fur next year, j
we meant no relied inn upon the j
Orr Stage Co., as they have at all •
limes, during the winter, pushed
their stages through with the
greatest possible spe’ed, for which
they were duly paid, according to
the bids that they themselves
made. They did their duty by
the people so far. as they were
able in carrying the mails
through. It was a business mat
ter, something that they were
compelled to do and not a per
sonal favor to anyone..
i ney urn ii«m. % mni uw-,?,
however, and are not doing it.iri
trying to shield the other parties
who, by, commission or omission,
have failed to do their part toward
giving us the best mail service
possible.
We' don’t care how opr mail
gels, in here, whether it conies by
Oordova, Valdpa or by Falcon Jos
* I in’s proposed a0ro line, bu t we
would like to get last year’s pa
pers some tigie within the com
ing six months,
The pJews-Miner stales that.th,e
first-class mail comes through pn
the first stage after the landing
of the boat, and implies,(.hat (he
second class follows on thg.neft.
On April 15tn or 16th we re
ceived a first-class, inaii .from ,the
outside. On April 24th we receiv
ed a very smalj second-class
mail. In the interim,, however,
several stages arrived from the
coast without even the sign of a
postage stamp. What became of
that second-class mail during all
that time?
Five years ago Fairbanks was
allowed a fair mail allowance; to
day we have practically the same
allowance divided up among this
camp, Iditarod, Ruby, Tanana and
all the down river points. The
Orr stage company is not to blame
for this, but the people of Fair
banks are. If the matter was tak
en up in the proper manner,
through our city council, through i
lour commercial club, and through
our delegate, there is no doubt
something would be done to rem
edy the conditions.
The Citizen was not mistaken
in its statement of a week ago re
garding the mail, as it was fully
aware of th.e facts, as its cus
tom, before making the state
ment; nor did the Citizen, like the
News-Miner, go to an interested
party for a one-sided story that
sounds well but will not Imhl wa
ter.--Fairbanks Cit izen.
UP.
(By George Matthew Adams.;
For general llun-down-ed-ness
Iry the Tonic—“Up.” The “Up”
Tonic has actually saved thin big
world from going oil' to a Hos
pital. Millions daily rise to sing
its marvelous praises.
< iel Up.
That is III.' lirsl step. Stand Up.
The more you test your own
St rength, I he more you will pat
yourself on the hack for having
such Strength. Gel Up—and stay
Up.
Cheer Up.
The Best, is always yet lo come.
Cheer Up. All you have lo do is
to go after the Best. And then,
Cheer is so Magnetic. No mailer
where you work or where you go
--you draw People and Fortune
your way. Suppose the Cow did
kick over the pail of Milk. There’s
more Cow and there’s more Milk.
Cheer Up.
Smile Up.
Smiles don't count when they
hit the ground. Smile Up. When
you face a day that seems knot
ted with kinks, Smile Up. There
will be very few Kinks left. At
every lime and in every place—
Smile Up. Make no exception.
Smile Up.
Climb Up.
Be satisfied with nothing.
Climb Up. Gather up patiently
iind carefully the threads of Toil
ind Experience that, make up your
completed day and use them as a
Hope with which to pull yourself
higher Climb Up.
Lift Up.
If everybody wrtre always Up
and never. Down, there would he
no reason for this little lalk.
Somebody is always Down and
somebody is always Up. You who
are Up b.elp the one who is Down,
f.ifl Up. Then you will he Iligli
■r Up.
