The idea of sending a roan to
Seattle to show the advantages of
this route to those hound for Fair
banks is a good one. A n.:n who
is conversant v«th the condition*
.»n the interior and know* the trail
sin certainly do much good. Mr.
3i*h claims to have these qualifica
tions, and is confident rf ’n.»*cin».
is good a showing as he did on his
.rip to the westward as a represen
ative of the town.

Valdez is too important to

to co-operate with Bellingham, and

v'uidez lias a right to Le proud
jf the iaot that the po-totKee de
partment, recognizing h*.r natural
sdvar.tages as a terminal ] oint ior
Via- ka mail routes, is about tu in
•rea.-M the service ironi here to the
‘Sukun. This the shortest and
ppicbeit route to the interior, and
tiie fact that we are now to have li»
uuils- a month arriving from and
departing to interior points shows
:hat the department recognizes tl e
:uot. This means a trail that will
de kept open all the time, and a
ion sequent increase in travel be
*«.n hero and Tanana and Ya
hoo points; With a few more
JDadhouses established this trail
will excel all others so materiallv
hist it will be only a matter of
rime until all of the interior trav
el will lie diverted this way.
