NEW TYPE OP MAIL. CARRIER,
SAYS 8BATTIJ5 PAPER
Arthur J. fllll WnTHow He Carried
the Message to Oarcta.
A new type of mail carrier has re
placed the weatherbeaten stage driv
er of Action In Alaska, if Arthur J.
Hill, of Valdez, who is at the Hotel
Savoy, is any criterion. In the old
days, when tht trails were iar f-oin
disiinct and dog teams and pack
horses were tl.c chief mod ^ of travel,
the stage driver was far different
from his modern prototype, tIt» auto
mobile mail carrier.
Last summer the postefAcc depart
ni *nt authorizes the carrying of mail
l». Fairbanks over the 3!H)-niile trail
from Valdez by automobile. Hill and
two associates look the contract and
carried the mails through in such lino
shape that postal oAlcials believe that
all ot the inteCor mail next year will
be routed over the overland trail.
Hill wore out three cars on the
run, in making twenty-Ave trips over
the *.ifail. In all he traveled 5,000
miles and established a recotd of 41
hours for covering the distance be
tween the twe terminals. This time
has never oet-n equaled.
* There is no auto route in the
world that begins to compare with
the Va'.dez-Fairbanks trail,” Hill de
clared yesterday. “The trail goes
thru a real paradise, both >f scenery
and gime. I have shot lynx, fox.
moose, caribou and sheep without
getting out of the car and I have
seen n d fox galore. Cce trip out of
Fairbanks we saw a bla. k fox from
the ear.
Tne Alaska road commission has
charge of the trail and is doing all in
its power to improve it. Next year it
should be possible to make the trip
over the trail from Va’ro:-. to Fair
banks in the space of thirty-six
iiou; u.”
Mr. Hill is planning ai automobile
trip through tne Southwest and Mien
across the continent to New York
before returning to his home in Val
|doz in the spring.—Seattle P. I.
