WINTER ill
IS PROJECTED
^ I 5
(Continued from Page One)
A canvass of a number of the bus
iness men of the town shows that the
project is universally endorsed by
them, and this sentiment is undoubt
edly the expression of the entire com
munity.
W. N. Cuddy, of the Valdez Mer
cantile Co.—“The service would be a
great thing for the town both finan
cially and through the benefits which
would arise both to the community
j and the people along the line of the
!proposed route from a regular mail
service. I am heartily in favor of it
and will do all in my power to for
ward it."
T. E. Dougherty expressed the be
lief that such a service would mean
much to the town and no endeavor
which might in any way affect the
favorable action of the department
should be neglected.
Russell Hermann, of the Owl Drug
Co.—"Boost for it, it is a big thing.”
He pledged himself to do all in his
power to aid the project.
Meyer Blum, of S. Blum & Co., ex
pressed the opinion that it was well
worth working for and would prove
of inestimable benefit to the entire
community and give a large number
of people now cut off from all mail a
regular service during the winter
months.
E. G. Ames, of the Keystone Pro
duce Co.—"It would be a big thing
for the people along the trail as well
as the town.” He expressed his ap
proval of the proposed service.
John Biggs, of the Valdez Drug Co.
said: “I am for it. Count on me to
do all I can to help the matter along.
It is a big thing for the town and the
people along the projected route.”
Dr. Merritt expressed his approval
and urged that the people get out and
work for this service, which he be
lieved would prove of great value to
the town.
ffm, Thomas of Frye-Bruhn—“1
am heartily in favor it it. Count
on me.”
H. P. King sr. and H. P. King jr.
of King’s Grocery were enthusiastic
over the project, and pledged them
selves to do all in their power to
boost it.
This probably expresses the senti
ment of the whole community and it
is probable that immediate steps will
be taken to prevent the advantages
of such a service to the proper au
thorities.
Ci.pt Nolan has taken the matter
.■,< *un Major Davison and Colonel
'cbardson of the Alaska Road Com
n. -sion. and their support to the pro
J -. is assured. It remains for the
people of the town to get together!
and work for the establishment of
this winter mail service.
